The first teaser is out for upcoming fantasy vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night, and the verdict remains unclear as it straddles the line between potential hot mess and potential awesome drama crack. Thirty seconds isn’t enough for a first impression either way, but is enough to keep me firmly in the anticipation track. The drama started filming quite early which has now come in handy after Lee Jun Ki and then Lee Yoo Bi were sidelined with injuries for a week.
There is still enough footage in the bank to drop this first narrative dense teaser, showing us lots of Lee Jun Ki brooding and action sequences. The vibe is fully a combination of Lee Jun Ki’s most recent two sageuks, the action intensity of Joseon Gunman with the dark supernatural veneer of Arang and the Magistrate. Lee Yoo Bi looks like a kid when cross-dressing like a male bookseller but in her past dramas she manages to convey a strong mature intensity so I’m not worried.
First teaser for Scholar Who Walks the Night:
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…

Ehhh , the only thing that was interesting was soo hyuk , I loved the effects there, and jun ki when he was in the hole in the ground with the bodies lol , in all honestly I think this is going to end up like the nignt watchmen but looks hope they don't over due it
I am going to watch this drama. I am sure its going to be a hot mess....and I'm probably going to love it anyways!
I am still bitter about them dropping Han Groo even though I do like the cast.
Lol they didn't " drop " her she decline the offer. .
They dropped her.she didn't decline the role.MBC rejected Han roo
han groo might have been good but i'm okay with lee yubi. thank goodness jin se yeon or Go sung hee is not the female lead. JSY is horrible but go sung-hee is the WORST actress ever.
Jun Ki is always awesome, especially in sageuks. I'm ok with the cast except Kim So Eun cos she's a bland actress. I hope the drama doesn't disappoint; plot, writing, direction. And I hope Yunho can at least keep up with Jun Ki.
nahhh. so eun is okay. better than lots of other actress and yu bi really suits cross-dressing. if so eun take that role i bet this drama will flop. she's just too pretty and yu bi is way cuter.
and what do you mean by yunho? leave that man alone he is going to enlist soon.
Yunho was a terrible actor based on his past performances. To put him next to Jun Ki will only emphasize his inadequacies. What has enlisting to do with my comment about his acting?
Oops!! My bad. That second male lead is Changmin not Yunho. Anyway, Changmin's acting also leaves much to be desired.
@juliesean
Yunho and changmin both have history of bad acting, but last summer Night Watchman's Journal came out Yunho actually improved and his overall acting was decent. He is the main leading actor for new rom-com drama "I Order You" coming out this July 6th.
Let's see if Changmin improves in SWWTN. This is his first sageuk drama. Maybe he will surprise us. This is all coming from a non-fan who does not follow K-pop music.
I only watched one of Yunho's dramas - Night Watchman's Journal. In my honest opinion, he's better than the male lead. I also like Kim So Eun in Liar Game. No one can look so innocent and naive as KSE in that role.
@juliesean
what? kim so eun's a good actress. you seriously think she's bland? lmfao
Nice! I don't mind getting my blood sucked by both vampires though
Get In line
Yubi looks so young ..like she's 12 ..
If this drama doesn't save the industry from the ratings drought, I don't know what will. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I couldn't hold in my adrenaline while watching that teaser. Oh my flipping goodness, I'm so hyped.
The teaser is a bit creepy but the teaser looks promising though.
This teaser totally reminds me of Joseon Gunman again...like I have flashbacks of PYK...
Looks good.....now please let this be better than Night Watchman Journal and Joseon Gunman.
But Joseon Gunman was such a joy to watch.
JG was good but not the best saeguk. too bad it was dragged from the middle and the extension didn't add. of course lJK was awesome as usual but NSM was disappointment..
