First look at Night Watchman’s dragons and ghosts
by javabeans
Here’s the first preview for MBC’s upcoming ghostbusting, dragon-slaying fantasy-sageuk Records of a Night Watchman, which premieres on August 4 after Triangle wraps up next week.
The teaser tells us: “A world of chaos in which humans and ghosts live together… These are the night watchman’s last records.”
Aside from that, well, my momma told me that if I can’t think of something nice to say, I shouldn’t say anything at all, so…..

I've decided I'm not going to watch the teaser after reading some of the comments. I've also never seen Yunho's acting before (I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing since I have zero idea what to expect from experience but I've heard he's terrible so I'm glad I saved my eyes from that). I said I was going to check this out for Jung Il Woo since I didn't watch his last drama and I'm trying really hard to keep that promise. I recently sat through a hot mish mash mess of a drama for an actor (ahem) so maybe I can do it again. Why does it seem like I like these actors more than I like myself...

Ok can't resist- the one thing I will complain about is that dragon mask in the 5th still. Phantom of the Opera much? lol XD. At least they are trying to be creative with the costuming, I really like some of it- kind of hit and miss. Hopefully more hit than miss?

Love the chick in the pigtails, but she looks like she flew in from Finnland or Lithuania. Maybe there'll be a guest shot by Baba Yaga or Louhi. Those were some seriously dangerous witches! Man-eaters, both of them.
But, then, that would require the writers to have some imagination.

I hope that Yunho haters take afer javabean's comment: "my momma told me that if I can’t think of something nice to say, I shouldn’t say anything at all" OTL
It's funny how the ppl who don't like Yunho and feel the need to bring up his horrible acting in EVERY 'Night Watchman' post are actually spending more time on him than JIW or the other actors that they're actually a fan of XD
Anyways, I actually like the costumes for the main lead characters except for the main girl...what a weird outfit and wig....This might turn out to be too cheesy and "fake" looking...but because of Yunho, I'll give it a shot ^^

I get this is going to ride the fine line between awesome and cheese, considering the costumes, especially the baddie. But…THAT DRAGON LOOKED BADASS! If the story is well written this could totally hit my fantasy/whimsy button. STOKED.

"my momma told me that if I can’t think of something nice to say, I shouldn’t say anything at all"
hahaha Javabeans, since when did that stopped you ? How is the fun in that? haha if we had to apply this rule to every drama, then a lot of them would go by without comments! ;) let's say..Doctor stranger for example, what nice stuff can you say about it? Potential? well, to be exact, ruined, destroyed potential, so that's not really good. And that is the ONLY partly good thing I could think about ;)
...it appears I'm still bitter about it. Since i didn't finish it, I didn't even realised before just now ^^ kkk. But how awesome were the two first episodes! what a mess of a plot..(or lack of it) :'(
I hope this drama will be better. Difficult to be disapointed if you don't have expectations, right?

I think I can say Yunho's acting is really bad but I am not being mean about it.I followed most kdramas since i am addicted fan of korean dramas.He seems like a good guy but acting is not his forte. I am not a kpop fans so I do not follow his singing.Hope this is taken in the right context

Man, people are so pretentious is this comment section, it's a TV show...a drama...Chill.
Anyhow, it looks interesting, Jung Il Woo and Jung Yunho are handsome and the girls are pretty. The visual and cinematography look good too.

It looks pretty but I admit the trailer is a bit odd in terms of tone. However, one thing I've learned on my time watching Karamazov is that you can never judge a drama by the teasers. They are rarely an accurate representation of a show.

I think I like Kim Sung Oh in the blonde though.
Usually it's the female lead that I have to block out to give a drama a chance, but this time I'll need to also block the idol.

Yeah, I don't get why people are disappointed with this. It pretty much matches what I imagined it to be, and I'm willing to give it a chance.
I did not like Faith or Family Book etc, I liked it at first but then it got boring.
And the acting in the trailer seems....lacking of depth but who can tell really from trailers....so yeah, I'm giving this a chance.
I liked Legend, I still watch it though the ending SUCKED, but still...

I watched every episode of Golden Rainbow just to see Jung Il Woo, so I imagine I will watch this too. I am a masochist for actors I like. I watched all of Sword and Flower, too, which was much worse than Faith!

Prince Lee Rin is well suited to jung II Woo's look. He is perfect for the part. Saw the other vod from mbc, and his character is soo playful, witty and fun. Will watch only for JIW.The other actor is stiff as hell from the latest Vod

Ha ..Ha I know who you are saying. Even the minor character actor next to him showed more expression than him and he is the second lead. lol

I'm going to hope they're just trying to pull in a bigger audience, and will show a more introspective trailer at some point...? One can hope...

omg Yunho went on star gazing show last nite and talk about the fact that he knew about all the negative responses on his acting but he says it is out of concern for the drama and him.He takes it as a step to better himself. I think it is the opposite, a man who is greedy to wants the limelight of being in drama more than anything. How far is is it enough all these negatives need to hit home for him that he sucks. He is clearly in denial mode. He should have said, I need more time training before getting juicy roles because of his status as an idol and agencies pull strings instead . Could have said he could have taken some minor role in weekend dramas to up his acting skills and let the genuine potential actors have a chance instead in be in those roles instead of him. I loose respect for him.It is pure selfish and greed on his part.

lol on his comments on star gaze. He also talked about his bad singing and dancing during dbsk days and how he improved. But he forgets that those were days he was in a group of 5 and not a solo acts. If any thing he should be grateful and thankful for his team who cover up his bad singing and dancing for him in their performances giving him space to improve. If he had been a solo singer he would be write off by then. In drama it is all solo act that counts. This is the big difference and drama fans are not sympathetic to his singing , just his acting skills.

@sam
ur ignorant trash talking comments about yunho does not change fact that he's well respected celeb in Korea. ever since days when DBSK's had 5 members, yunho has always been regarded in Korea as a dancing machine. he may not have high pitched voice like junsu and changmin, but he CAN sing live (as proven by live performances with MR removed). at stargazing, he admits his bad acting and willing to work hard and improve. btw, there ain't no need for him to be "attention seeker" cuz he's one of the most popular kpop idols.

lol, he is still bringing up the drink incident from 8 years ago .he does that each time a new album is out or a new drama is going to aired soon. He is an attention seeker

wow, that's a real low blow...excuse me? do you think that guests get to decide what they talk about on variety programs?
the funny thing is that a fanboy said on the show that the way Yunho handled the poisoning incident gave him courage to keep on going cuz he dealt with a similar incident...so if him telling that story of how he overcame his trauma helps even one more person out there, then it's worth it to keep repeating 1000X more.
you must really be an obsessed fan to be stalking Yunho and keep coming back here to bash him...you're just proving him right...get a life instead of wasting it hating on ppl.

Having have experience in production of variety show, most are scripted even with those from fans and all just to bring up the rating for the show.
@kim
July 27, 2014 at 2:02 PM
Thank you . Precisely what I am trying to state. They are script and all guest knew b4 hand what will be the content. The guests has a choice whether they want to follow the script or made changes. The keyword is the guest's choice. Just don't be delusional and ignorant of the fact.

July 28, 2014 at 6:30 PM
ya, okay, the fan just made up the fact that he got poisoned...ya, I'll believe that...*sarcasm*
now that's what I call dellusional and ignorant.
YH's poisoning incident was a big deal & made headline news in Korea...the variety shows he's on likes to ask him about it and of course he's willing to share his experience & how he overcame it...trying to fault him for that just shows what kind of low-lifes there are out there.

I'm laughing at the above comments....so ppl that supposedly call themselves drama fans are looking up the show that Yunho starred in/what he said and then coming here to bash him even more? LOL
Yunho is SO right...negative comments are based on ppl that actually DO care about him, or else they wouldn't go so far to even bother...haha.

oh, and by the way...TVXQ made history recently by being the first ever non-Japanese artists to perform at Nissan Stadium and sang/danced in front of 144,000 fans in only a span of 2 days....they've been a duo for years now so unless you're saying that all those fans are just there for Changmin, then someone's in major denial about Yunho's talent XD
