Vampire sageuk drama in the works

First Joseon aliens, now Joseon vampires? HA. This should be interesting.

Before we get too excited, Kim Soo-hyun’s reps have already denied that he’ll be taking on this new drama project, almost as soon as rumors hit the internet that he might be considering it. So no, this is not a casting notice of any kind. But I can see how the thought process led to Kim, given that he’s done sageuk drama before (The Moom That Embraces the Sun), flirted with the paranormal (You From Another Star), and is on a hot streak (everything he’s done in the past four years, really).

The project is based on a manhwa titled Scholar Who Walks the Night (or Scholar of the Night), written by Jo Joo-hee and Han Seung-hee, which was just licensed for adaptation. The story is set in Joseon times when a nobleman’s family is ruined due to false accusations, and the daughter disguises herself as a man to sell books. Then she meets a mysterious, handsome Confucian scholar who turns out to be a vampire. And he’s not the only one, because the palace is home to another, this one described as murderous.

Admittedly, manhwa-adapted dramas can be hit or miss—Gaksital was a hit, as was Boys Before Flowers and Goong, but there have also been lots that have faltered, like Pretty Man, Strike Love, and Tamra the Island. Still, this one has enough quirky traits to capture my interest. How could it not?

Kim Soo-hyun’s denial to the casting rumors makes sense, since he’s currently in the thick of drama shoots and intends to take a break afterward while he picks his next role. Plus, I’d argue that he’s even too perfect a choice for a handsome Joseon vampire scholar character that it’s almost too obvious to go after him—it’s such a wacky premise that I want to see them be a little out there with their choices. (Which means: no boys who have previously played vampires, no matter how much they look the part a la Kim Woo-bin or Lee Soo-hyuk, and also no to actors who already look vampiric, such as Noh Min-woo. C’mon, if you’re gonna go for weird and quirky, cast someone unexpected, like Yoon Shi-yoon, or Joo-won. Can we have that drama, please?)

but he will only be busy until August, after which he has time for another drama. according to him, anyway. this will be amazing for him! i really hope he is casted in here as he has yet to play a human-animal role. ^^

Joowon loves to challenge himself, so this would be the perfect role for him this year. plus, it's Saeguk, a genre he has never participated in yet as well.

If they are already having casting rumours then it is likely that they will start shooting before August so that makes cutie unavailable, unless he decides to do 2 projects at the same time which we all know is madness and he really needs some rest. Plus, HE HAS TO COME FOR HIS FAN MEET! IT MUSN'T GET DELAYED ANYMORE :'(((((((((

Don't underestimate Joo Won's ability to do multiple works at the same time. The man is just obsessed with work. :D

I underestimate him not. I know full well he can. In fact, he's done it before. But no! He needs to come over here for a fan meet!! T_T More importantly, he needs to rest. This workerholic nature can't be good for him in the long run (but who would say no to him in a drama again haha).

JOO WONIE??!! YES PLEASE!

As much as I love Kim Soo Hyun, I want him to take on more challenging role next. Love his current drama, but its kindda 'safe' role.

I like his previous role in Giant, with depth and layer in his acting. Or like in his earlier work Will It Snow For Christmas.

Joo Won and Kim Soo Hyun is my two fave actor in their 20s at the moment with their talent and looks.

Yessss, Kim soo hyun would be perfect, totally love him but he wants a break n is busy which sucks but if not him, how about Kim jae wook? Or Park hae jin? Ohhhh, or Song Jong ki? Ohhh, maybe Lee Jong suk, Lee min ki, even Jang Geun suk would fit the role nicely, all would be nice vampires or evil, murderous vampires whichever u prefer.

Although I'd go for my Nine Traveler, too, or...ooooh that boy from After School Bokbulbok, who played the boyfriend in Suspicious Housekeeper. He has good vampire eyes, although I can't see him being cast as the lead in anything at this point.

When I first saw that picture of the Joseon vampire in yellow, the first thought that came to kind was 'Kim JaeJoong', not because I want him b to play the role (not that I'm against it in any way) but because manhwa vampire looked so much like him that it was disconcerting. Like woah.

Well,this drama will only takes 2-3 months of filming. his concerts r finished, so he doesn't have anythin to do right now. He can postponed his military service until early next year since JJ is the goodwill ambassador for incheon asian games which will be held in september. there's no way he'll leave before the games right?

Kim Soo Hyun rumor was first because his agency bought the rights. If we go with KeyEast actors, I think the only possible choice is Joo Ji Hoon ;D

Yeah, if Keyeast was going to go with one of the big name actors from their agency (which i think they will given they bought the rights to produce the manhwa adaption), out of their big 3 male actors Kim Soo hyun, Kim Hyun Joong, And Joo Ji Hoon, it's looking like Joo Ji Hoon might end up the chosen one.. Considering how busy Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Hyun joong are nowadays.. Unless they choose to go with a lesser-name actor, which i totally wouldn't mind as long as he had the charisma and acting chops to pull off this peculiar (only the vampire part) character.

If the agency is going for its 'name' actors to land the lead role in this, and KSH and KHJ are busy for now and may not do a second drama within the year, I would be thrilled to have Joo Ji-hoon return to prime time leading man status. He was one of the most interesting and talented young actors of his generation before the weed scandal, and I hope he has the career his talent deserves,

Kim Hyun Joong somehow seems oddly suited to playing a vampire, doesn't he? And he seems to be trying to create an edgier image.

But I do really like the offbeat Yoon Shi Yoon idea.

So, how about a fantasy flowerboy saeguk horror vampire crime procedural melo action drama fusion featuring: KHJ as (Dirty) Ha Rae, a cold and detached drifter who's known for beating people to within an inch of their life; but who's in reality a justice seeking vigilante vampire. And YSY as (King) Tak Gu., who seems to be a sweet and warm Prince Charming with a taste for pâté filled pastries; yet in reality is a murderous vampire. And throw in for good measure that his vampire identity is hard to uncover because he's (surprise!) also a mixed-blood shape-shifting gumiho.

And for good measure they could sample in some Twilight GFB and Iljimae by casting Lee Yu-Bi, as Ren Se Mi the heroine who was separated from her brother as an infant during a mysterious childhood purge of her noble clan. (Which in flashbacks we see was a war between the gumihos and the vampires) She now lives in a bookshop, incognito and unaware of her vampire identity. She and has a secret love for her customer Tak Gu. She's always been unusually pale, and he takes such careful interest in helping her build up her health...he has a geeeenius medical understanding of how the living can maximize their ki. She's always wondered, though she's living as a man, why does he look at her with such forlorn hunger? Could he know her truth or does he want something else?

But then....she is suddenly strangely conflicted by one-sided 'feelings' she's developed for the strong and smexy Ha Re when he comes to town...why does she feel so close to him? But he seems to hate Tak Gu... Are her feelings true love? Or is it that...they're all related!

How's that for a hot mess of a drama?

The ones supposedly being considered are SJK (in military so perhaps after his discharge), KWB and KJJ.

Keyeast supposedly works very differently from SM. In other words they won't insist on their actors taking the title roles simply because they've bought the right to make the drama.

Interesting, I'd love to see Song Joong-ki do a fusion sageuk again, as the lead this time.

But I hope they have a good writer and that they cast a good actress in the lead, it sounds like this will skew younger so there are any number of young actresses who would be awesome in the role (and if it has to be an idol, please can it be someone who can act?)

I want my baby to rest his tired self and just enjoy meeting fans/restoring his health. Maybe a movie if he really wants.
Sources say they want to start filming this manhwa adaption "next" summer (i'm assuming they mean this summer 2014 since nothing in dramaland is prepared in a year's advance) so I believe it'd be a huge workload for him if he dived right back into another drama to headline so soon months after his current one. Certainly not common for big name actors to take only few months break in between dramaland projects(because of the health deteriorating process) but i do hope Keyeast isn't pushing him to take on this project to milk his success and i hope our boy doesn't feel the pressure. At his age he needs to take a step back from the lime-light and enjoy his success in moderate amounts now that he skyrocketed to fame.

I'm open to a bunch of actors to take on this role (and the ones you've listed JB are dead on) but the one that won't budge for me is Kim Woo Bin. It's time for him to headline a drama considering his popularity, and this is the perfect project for him given his magnetic screen presence and dangerous aura he possesses.. But keyeast is behind this production so i don't have high hopes for certain actors i'd love to see in the role.

Judging by what's been said above about Keyeast not being like SM, there's an outside chance that Woobin might be cast.

And as for the female lead, I would be thrilled beyond words if this drama reunited him with Lee Yubi as the cross-dressing yangban agasshi. (she rocked the hell out of a fusion sageuk before but it's high time she stepped into lead roles too). Either Yubi or Kim Ji-won, that is (such an incredibly chameleonic young actress, and has great chemistry with Woobie too)

Omg, I want a younger oppa lead too! Like Kim Woo Bin or Lee Soo Hyuk. Honestly I don't see Lee Soo Hyuk doing a main role yet since he is still quite new into the acting industry...but maybe he can play the sexy brooding murderous vampire while Woo Bin play the hot and sexy main lead? Ever since his last couple of projects, he can totally try and lead this one now! I would def watch out for this.

Visually I vote for Kim woo bin, Kim JaeJeong, Hyun Bin, or Kim Joo Kwon. I like Lee Jun Ki or Yoon Yi Soon & Jo Jung Suk but I see vampires as beautiful, tall, lanky, aloof or cold & somewhat pale. They fit the good looking part but not tall/lanky or cold looking enough. I guess Joo Ji Hoon will work though if it has to be a Key East actor. If there wasn't an age limit I'd also would like Choi Jin-Hyuk...hehe

I have no objection to the obvious choices (Kim Woo-bin, Lee Soo-hyuk).

A completely new face would be good too.

Lee Hyun Woo or Joo Ji Hoon, if I had a say. :)

Baby Vampire Lee Hyun Woo would be so cute.

Also would be a good comeback for Joo Ji Hoon

My male lead wishlist:

Kim Jae-wook (GIVE HIM A LEAD ROLE ALREADY DAMMIT....too bad Age of Feeling will take up most of his time and not give him enough of a break before this starts)
Kim Woo-bin (give him a lead role already, it's high time and his last vampire role was such a total adorable unscary dork)
Lee Jun-ki (really hot in fusion supernatural sageuk mode)
Joo Ji-hoon (if Keyeast is picking among its actors)
Song Joong-ki (post-military, if they're filming later)
Lee Hyun-woo
Yoon Shi-yoon
Daniel Choi (he'd have the scholarly part down pat)
Park Ki-woong

oh, and add Jang Geun-seok to the wishlist. He badly needs to do a role that isn't Hwang Taekyung redux.
I guess Lee Jong-seok is off the wishlist thanks to already doing a drama, but can we have Seo In-gook, then?

Female lead wishlist:

Lee Yubi (give her a lead role already, dammit!)
Kim Ji-won ( - ditto - )
Shin Mina (if they skew slightly older with the casting, she would be perfect and she's great with the supernatural sageuk, look at Arang. Plus great chemistry with all her costars.)
Yoon Eun-hye (same as with Mina, only I would love to see her in a sageuk and wipe Mirae's Choice from my brain)
Moon Chae-won (also great in sageuks and I'd love to see her in a role that actually gives her something to do)
Han Groo (underrated)
Kim So-eun
Park Bo-young

jang geun suk needs to be some really kind and sweet character for a change. not all grumpy with a hundred issues...maybe not quite right for him. or he needs to be a cheerful, YOLO character
but I would still prefer Park Ki Woong.

haha yeah, JGS needs to not play an asshole for once, it's funny because his pre-YAB roles used to be so much more diverse.

Is it bad that I'm fine with him being an asshole as long as he has better hair?

The truth is that he even portrays his ASSHOLE character so well that one can fall in love with him...*moony eyes *

Sooooo up my alley! I've been looking up everyone's choices (I get confused still) and most of them are great. Depending on how it's written would be a determining factor on what style of actor for me. Since everyone's throwing out names (many I would enjoy) I'll throw out So Ji Sub for the evil vampire, since the main sounds younger.

Great one more thing to remember. I needed to start a list a year ago.

I was wondering how these plot elements would mesh together but I think if done right with a good balance of humor (from cross dressing shenanigans), a dark, eery tone(from the vampires), and an epic romance (protector role) we could have another hit on our hands. We'll see since now I'm intrigued.

My "firsts" picks:
1. Kim Soo Hyun
2. Kim Woo bin
3. Kang Haneul
4. Lee Jun Ki
5. Jung Il-woo

And my ultimate pick? Can we get a veteran actor? Like dun-dun-dun-dun ...

Hyun Bin! :D

Sounds impossible, but who knows? kkkkkk

I forgot Lee Jong Suk! Yeah, he's cute too!

And how about TOP doing a drama? :P

Haha, I'm just rooting for Lee Jong Suk, as always~

But I think the lead girl should be convincing as a man; remember Blade and Petal? So, maybe someone like Yoon So Yi or Kim So Yeon.

Looking at the nose of the vampire in the picture above and the slim "V" shaped face... Lee Jong Suk would fit the bill.
