O Erudito que Caminha pela Noite (2015)

Although I became quite the fan of Joon-gi and was excited to watch all his historical ones ! However this one was a bit painful to get through and so I dropped it. It just goes to show that a drama cannot be carried off by just one great actor. While Joon-gi was a great character and he acted well. The villain was just not capturing enough to actually feel much of the scare or angst or whatever you can feel while watching a drama. I could not connect with the story although it was an interesting take on vampires. The chemistry between the lead pair was also severely lacking. So disappointed that I could not get myself to finish this one.

One of the better Vampire genre K drama for me

Vampire genre in K dramas is less compared to zombie genre which gets better with each drama and even rivals western zombie films & dramas lately, but sadly for vampire genre k dramas there are only few & I dropped the Blood k drama, including this drama I only liked three other vampire k dramas that I watched.
The story of this drama revolves mainly around protag also called Night Scholar/Vampire Hunter & the Antagonist called GWI sort of elder Vampire I think if compare to western Vampire stories etc.
So this is the last Vampire K drama that I enjoyed watching, Protag becomes a Vampire as the main antagonist mortally injures the Vampire hunter who turns the protag into a Vampire to kill GWI, In this story vampire hunter is not humans but rather vampires that tries to keep their humanity, story revolves mainly around protag & the antagonist they are the main pillars of the story, if the actors who portrayed these roles didn't do a great job this would have turned into a bad & very boring drama.
Don't expect modern level Vampire action, this follows the old vampire genre style, slow paced but don't drag the story atrociously like older k dramas that increase frustration levels to max & also test viewers common sense & patience.
I liked the Vampire actions in this drama they may look old now but when this aired this was one of the best Vampire K drama I watched till that time, don't think there is any new Vampire genre K drama after this drama.
Like I mentioned above drama is slow paced and takes it's time to introduce the characters, story world etc, there is a lot of talking between characters and skipping can cause losing some important information regarding story, you will see GWI talking a lot he will reveal some info regarding his past and the people he met his lover etc, I have watched this drama more than 2–3 times and currently rewatching again this time gave more attention to GWI conversation and his interactions with other characters including Night Scholar aka main protag, in some scene we feel GWI might have some kindness next scene he does some brutal killing despite being hated he doesn't want to turn second female lead who works for ML, even tells her becoming a vampire with a heart is not easy one can die or turn into a bloodthirsty vampire etc, SFL aka the queen she looks like Night scholars old lover she has her plans in one scene we might think she is planning something next scene we see her human side, I think almost every cast in the show did well, compared to older k dramas or even some new ones this story is interesting till end, there is a start and end, most k dramas gets a great start then start getting bad and by the end viewer might start hating the show.
This is one of the better Korean Vampire genre drama. The drama has some good music, but sadly they have not used the music well to make some scenes even better like the scene where Night scholar loses his black cloth, and he has to save FL in the morning, I think the production tried to reduce the budget or go with low budget, so everything in this drama depends on the performance of the actors, the best part of the show is performance of the cast.

I admit I do get bored sometimes while watching it but what I do i watch 2-3 episodes drop it for a couple of days and return back watching. I think the chemo between Kim Sung Yeo and Jo Yang Sun is great. Yes Kim Sung Yeo is a bit clumsy, naive, stubborn but she loves Jo Yang Sun and that's what makes her character unique. I do like her here a lot. In this drama she almost looks like young girl more like an adolescent, her mimics is also quite well. Like even if you do not watch it with subs, you can understand she's shocked, unhappy, surprises. LJG can't say anything negative to his acting and he is very handsome, he speaks with his eyes.

GWi Lee Soo Hyuk for me he's a perfect match for a Vampire, he is a perfect with for supernatural characters. He has a pretty unique face comparing LJG, Baekhyun, Changmin, Kang Ha Neul, Bo Gum, Lee Min Ho etc


Yes Yang Sun's ex lover as her reincarnated self gonna play an important role in the drama but I do not really ship them here.

Didn't really like the music but whoever is their stylist is s/he done a great job. I loved the outfits. Actually when YS first saw Choi Hye Ryung as her reincarnated self Lee Myung Hee the outfit she was wearing reminded me what Hae Soo was wearing in Scarlet Heart Ryeo in one of the episodes.

The drama could be less boring but more attractive - exciting to us as audience.
