The much beleaguered fantasy vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night got back on track this week after both its main leads were sidelined with hospital stay injuries. First Lee Jun Ki fractured his nose followed by Lee Yoo Bi hurting her lower back, with both injuries serious enough to send each to the hospital and stay there for a few days. Lee Jun Ki is back on set today, with hopefully enough rest to be ready to recommit to the grueling drama shoot pace not to mention recovered to the point of being camera ready.
The production released official stills of both male leads, Lee Jun Ki (tucked after the jump since I’ve posted sneak peeks of him in character already) in yangban garb as the titular vampire scholar while Changmin is looking quite princely as the Crown Prince of this story. His character is described as a lazy womanizer on the surface but quite filled with royal valor and ability deep down. The description is very different than the Crown Prince character in the manga so I’ll take it as a brand new personality, much like second female lead Kim So Eun is playing a new character.
Both male leads good fantastic in character, nothing new there, question remains everything else from acting to chemistry to story. Please be as good as you look, night scholar!
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

I hope Lee Joon Gi is back to his beautiful self.
it's funny to read, Kim So EUn as the 2nd female lead, sigh.. Not a fan of every actor in that drama, but my motto : one or two episodes wont hurt :)
he can passed as any supporting actor rather than a leading actor.He looks old
Who looks old? JG o changmin?
The answer is obvious.the crown prince lol
Wow, Changmin looks really good in the historical costumes. He does have the air of a nobleman!
changmin looks ridiculous
I hope Lee Jun Ki has recovered well. So looking forward to Scholar Who walks the night.
