aaaaaaaaaah Teacher please accept!11

Everything you said, JB! I love LJK and he'd be great in this! <3

"Sungkyunkwan Scholar"?
YES please! But I agree, please don't be Scholar Who Walks the Twilight LOL

How cool would it be, the action/stunts will be AWESOME. We'll just have the 2 of them doing all their own stunts.

Lot a good news this yr from dramaland. Lee Jun Ki. No words and enjoy the show (although I'm hoping Park Hae Jin take this roles. I think its perpect for him tbh. mysterious and good looking)

Oh Yes,please!!!

As long as he knows she's a girl from the get-go (enough of the pseudo inner conflicts and mixed emotions) I wouldn't even mind the Scholar Who Walks the Twilight.

ok who am I kidding, ofc I will watch the hell out of anything he's in

Love both of them and I think they would make this amazing!!!

Sungkyunkwan Scholar? Scholar who Walks the Twilight? I absolutely adore your humour and wit!

I do think Lee Jun Ki can't do wrong in Saeguk, I mean as character he really good at saeguk
human or vampire, I already see him there

I think they tried reach Park Hae Jin too
hmm seeing him in bad-guy and Han-Groo for female lead possibility

can we have three of them ?
I already have faith with seeing the cast
and the plot have many possibility

vampire or not, lee jun ki is awesome saeguk actor

It's almost too good to be true!!! I'm afraid that at some point some point someone will ruin everything by declining the offer...O_o

Gosh please Han Groo and Lee Jun Ki just accept the roles and let us all have a HOT summer!!

Lee Jun Ki is perfect for the role. Not sure about Han Groo though.

Actually would like to see Ha Ji Won partner Jun Ki instead.

OK if it is LJK, but I'm really looking forward to vampire storylines dying a natural death...which will never happen without a stake, some sunlight, Buffy...

yes please! yes yes yes. if he ends up taking this then i seriously need to add this to my to-watch list.

From Joseon Gunman to Joseon Vampire. Okay Oppa, I'll bite.
Lee Jun-Ki ♥
Arang & The Magistrate ♥
Two Weeks ♥

I must be the only person on dramabeans to not like him :( This was actually the only vampire drama that I was looking forward to, but not anymore if he accepts.
For some reason I just don't find his acting believable.
*runs very, very fast to get away from the angry fans*

Lee Jun Ki is a fantastic actor all around but there's just something perfect about his n in sageuks. I also really like the idea of him and Han Groo together. So as long as the production is solid as well, I'm in.

oooooooh I want this now! Oppa please accept, even if I see you more as a fairy prince than a vampire the stunts will be badass and NO ONE looks hotter than Lee Jun-ki in a hanbok.

And I would really like to see him with Han Groo too. I guess the casting is purposely skewing older for the male lead after Park Hae-jin, but Han Groo can certainly hold her own against an older lead, look at Marriage Not Dating.

I hope LJK accepts it, this is the best news ever today :D

please say Yes!!!wanna see now him together with Han Groo

AAAAAAA when I first saw LJK photo up there, i already thought of that manhwa bc i read it, but i didnt know that it was true!!!! seriously he looks exactly like the lead character omgomgomgomgomg

I think LKJ is great, but I think KSH and PHJ would have worked just as well too. Plot sounds interesting, but I can't help but wonder why the other two rejected the role. Is it the PD? Writer?

My first choice is Ji Chang-Wook but if they can't get him then Lee Ju-Ki would be my 2nd choice! So if LJK takes the role I wouldn't be disappointed.

I personally think the premise sounds really fun. I've always liked the cross-dressing cliche.

Lol, if this goes through Han Groo will have romanced both the leading men from Arang!

Oh please sign the papers already! Both of you!

The synopsis of the manhwa if someone is intrested in the plot

Synopsis

A vampire scholar and a bookseller come together to fight against a conspiracy

An authority figure Gwee who controls the Joseon dynasty behind the scene is actually a vampire. Motivated by his avarice, Gwee conspires to obstruct the crown prince’s accession to the throne.

On the other hand, there’s a righteous vampire named Seongyeol who has been living as scholar for 150 years. He has locked himself in his studies for many years, and there are rumors amongst the villagers that he’s just an old man with leprosy.

In order to hide his true identity, Seongyeol never lets a bookseller revisit his place. But he makes an exception to the rule for a smart and decisive bookseller Yangsun. Yangsun knows the bad effects of corrupt political powers from the experience of losing her parents and three older brothers in a political trap. She believes that the world can become a better place if we broaden our knowledge through books. Because she lives in a society that forbids women from working in the business, she works and dresses as a boy. But Seongyeol instantly recognizes that she’s indeed a woman, and can’t help himself from being attracted to her.

Meanwhile, the villagers are becoming paranoid about a recent mystery murder. The authorities first believe that the death was caused by a tiger’s attack, and summon hunters for their expert advice. The hunters believe that the attacks were not made by a tiger. The first one to recognize it as a work of a vampire is the tiger hunter Hoyeon. As the vampire Gwee makes efforts to hide the crime, Hoyeon is falling into danger.

Seongyeol and Yangsun work together to fight against the vampire Gwee’s conspiracy.

i can see lee jun ki with the vampire eyes, but i don't think i'd like the fangs on him...

I think they would be BRILLIANT casting together. LJK has a black belt and Han Groo was impressive in Girl K. Together they would be awesome! I like both actors. I hope they accept the roles.

YES YES YES YES YES YES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Crud, now if anyone else buy LJK does it I'll be so bummed I won't watch. He needs his drama this year and last year was a modern drama so this year needs to be back to sageuk. OMG! I'm salivating here!

Well, you can never have too much beer, cheese or LJK in sageuks. That's what I always say!

And I totally forgot Han Groo was already in talks to be the leading lady!

Oh my dear Lord..I actually thought of Junki when Park Haejin turned down the offer...Eeeeeee!!!! Dammit I couldn't contain my excitement...please please let this happen...I swear Junki is the best when it comes to sageuks and why yes, I am spoiled by him when it comes to action scenes because I keep comparing other actors to him when they can't do scenes as well as Junki does..

Gah...now what? dramagods please hear us..

Lee Jun-ki is a puzzle to me. I really like him and think he is a good actor but I haven't been able to finish any of his post army dramas. I dropped both Arang and Joseon Gunman about halfway through their run. Two Weeks is one of the two K-dramas I have actually dropped half way through the final episode. That Winter the Wind Blows was the other one. And yet I love his pre-army stuff. Time Between Dog & Wolf, The King and the Clown and Fly Daddy Fly remain favourites and he doesn't overact in them. I have a hard time figuring it out.

I think the problem is that he seems to choose roles that are just too young for him post army. He looks great (if way too thin for my particular tastes but that's just me) but he's in his 30's now with his national service behind him and he's a man, not a boy. Some actors give off a boyish vibe well into their 30's or later but LJK isn't one of them. I'd love to see him move into more mature roles like in a contemporary adult romantic comedy, as an anti-hero or even as an outright bad guy. At least the role in the vampire drama is a scholar and not the ubiquitous student so just maybe he's going to pay his age. I really am a fan so I will check it out regardless.
