Lee Hyun-woo sets the stage for Lee Jun-ki’s vampire transformation
by girlfriday
Well this seems like a good way to start a drama off on the right foot. The ever-adorable Lee Hyun-woo (Battle of Yeonpyeong, The Con Artists) is kicking off the first episode of MBC’s historical fantasy drama Scholar Who Walks the Night, in a key cameo appearance that’ll inform Lee Jun-ki’s backstory and tell the tale of how he first became a vampire.
Lee Jun-ki and Lee Yubi star in the manhwa adaptation that’s set to air on Wednesdays and Thursdays on MBC, about the love between an ethereally beautiful vampire scholar (Lee Jun-ki, natch) and a young lady who cross-dresses in order to sell books.
Lee Hyun-woo will be featured in the drama’s opening arc, as a frank and magnanimous prince who studies under the same teacher as Lee Jun-ki, a young scholar who holds a post in the royal library. The two of them will discover a secret that sweeps them up in a dangerous conspiracy and leads to Lee Jun-ki’s transformation into a bloodthirsty vampire (the stills of him with red eyes are from when he’s just been turned).
And then when we fast-forward to many years later, Changmin will play (a different) crown prince. He’s a character that purposely promotes his playboy image to the public, but keeps his sharp mind under wraps.
Why he has to do so when he’s already the crown prince is a mystery, but I’m sure it has something to do with the evil vampire inside the palace, played by Lee Soo-hyuk. If badness of hair is directly proportional to badness of character, he’s going to be really, really evil.
Scholar Who Walks the Night follows Warm and Cozy and premieres July 8.

I don't like sagueks and none of the male leads. But darn they are pretty.
Is the writer good? Because that's more important to me.

I'm so worried about the writers. The same writers of Paradise Ranch but I will watch for Lee Jun-ki, Lee Hyun-woo, Lee Soo-hyuk and the girls.

and I don´t think the hair is terrible. if they had made it white like it was in the manhwa, I gather, it would have been ridiculous. so far no character in a kdrama has ever looked good with white hair.

Maybe his hair can't be white like the manhwa but I wish they kept it long and flowing at least.....at least a ponytail!

I beg to disagree. I think Song Chang Ui looked quite nice with silver hair in Dr. Frost.
That aside, looking forward to seeing cutie Hyun Woo's cameo in the drama!

Can we keep him instead of the other prince? Lee Hyun-woo is a talented young actor, one of my favorite when it comes to sageuk.
Lee Soo-hyuk looks like a vampire without much effort.
Lee Jun-ki.... bite me lol.

I don't know if it's because of the hair or the way he's sitting with his hand stretched out like he's trying to use the force, but that first pic of Lee Soo-hyuk caused me to burst out laughing.
Looking forward to this whether it turns out bad or good. I hope Lee Jun-ki and Lee Yubi are recovering okay.

They certainly sound like interesting characters (and oppa looks as gorgeous as ever, thank you surgeons for not ruining his beautiful nose), even if I want to wrestle Lee Soo-hyuk into a styling chair to deal with that cheesy opera singer mane.
Now please can this drama be good? The set accident has made me very apprehensive, as did Lee Yubi being presented as a perpetually perky Joseon Candy in almost every image we've seen of her in the role (I love her and want her to do well but that character type really grates on me)

I'm a bit worried about Yubi's character being reduced to a damsel in distress because of the accident.

This drama gets better and better and now adding Lee Hyun-woo as the childhood version of our hero,YES!!!!!
Hoping soon to see him in his own leading role i may add...
I'm trying to hold back my excitment for this drama because i kinda fear a sad ending with our hero being all supernatural,i will be darn sad if we'll go again on a Gu Family Book path

I don't think LHW is the younger version of LJK. It says that they are both students under the same teacher. One is a prince and the other is a scholar.
