I’m back, peeps! The recent weeks long hiatus from drama recaps just happened by extended serendipity rather than conscious decision. As I waited for a new drama to come along that would hook my writing fancy, instead along came vacations and family events and sundry other mundane happenings that sucked up all my free time. And the dramas I ended … Continue reading →
I’m going to preemptively thank Scholar Who Walks the Night for releasing the most riveting long K-drama preview this year, for me at least but really that’s all I personally care about since I’m the one looking for some drama inspiration. I can’t proffer assurances that it’ll be great but the extended look had me crying (during the scene with … Continue reading →
The visual feast of promos for Scholar Who Walks the Night fairly guarantees eye candy onscreen, and maybe that will be only positive thing about it. We’ll find out next Wed (who’s excited, I’m soooo excited!) but the chance of a hot mess doesn’t deter me from eagerly gobbling up every new tidbit from the production. Case in point – … Continue reading →
Feel free to have your own opinions regarding upcoming vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night as its certainly been one of the most eventful K-drama productions this year. I find the not too serious and a tad over-the-top style charmingly cheesy rather than annoyingly florid. It’s got just enough dramatic flair in all the teaser materials befitting the whole vampire … Continue reading →
July is finally here and that means Scholar Who Walks the Night is just around the corner. The drama arrives next Wed on MBC and the network continues to pull out all the punches when it comes to promo material. This is one drama that can’t blame failure on a lack of promotion. Today the drama dropped a second teaser … Continue reading →
MBC released tons of new Scholar Who Walks the Night drama stills this past weekend so continue to feast your eyes on the pretty, and boy is there an unending stream of pretty. I’ll be candidly honest with my approach and expectation towards this upcoming vampire sageuk – it’ll likely be pulpy bad but I think I’ll still like it. The idea of … Continue reading →
It’s been a busy month for the production of Scholar Who Walks the Night, going from full speed filming to losing both leads one after another to temporary injury. Things are back on track and the production has been steadily releasing drama stills to stir up interest. My interest is piqued for sure by the better than expected stills but … Continue reading →
It’s yet early to render a verdict on Scholar Who Walks the Night, but it’s not too early to start fangirling over the hot guys in this drama. I may have a soft spot for acting-challenged Changmin, who could surprise me so who knows, but I definitely am excited to see Lee Jun Ki and Lee Soo Hyuk‘s vampire vs. … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
The clues are starting to come together about how Scholar Who Walks the Night plans to plot out the drama narrative, in ways that are wholly going to diverge from the source manhwa. I’ve read the entire source manhwa and quite like it, but I don’t have a problem with the drama going a different direction because the story really … Continue reading →
I hope it doesn’t become a broken record that Lee Jun Ki looks just like (1) a vampire and (2) the character of Kim Sung Yul as drawn in the original manhwa. Because he does, so perfectly cast I wonder if the manhwa writer drew the vampire scholar with a picture of Lee Jun Ki next to her. Scholar Who Walks the Night … Continue reading →
Consider me impressed with the visuals so far of all the male leads of Scholar Who Walks the Night. First there was Lee Jun Ki as the titular vampire scholar, which is basically a role he can play in his sleep and the sageuk garb an outfit he rocks like no other. After his onset accident last week, Lee Jun … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
