Vampire Pterodactyl cry of hunger! (If you've watched Land Before Time you know that tacky dinosaur noise I mean.) Queue that circus music! Cause nothing goes better with vampires.

Wow! So this drama is going back and showing us what we missed. This doesn't bode well. Because if they just would have done it right first, it wouldn't have been so choppy in the first episode. Oh, and we're back to the the "find my chipmunk scene" scene whilst I grope you. I mean, I don't blame her. But really? Excuse me while I watch his fangs pop again. ^_- (See sexual innuendos.)

Holy, cow! They cut out Sung Yeol's fang poppin and freak'n. Maybe someone watched the first episode looked at the director and said, "Dude. That was crap." Because the story is actually flowing well. There are still a quite a few inconstancies, but it's better.

Gwi's scene on the palace roof. Dark Knight anyone? "Because he's the vampire the fans don't deserve, but he's the one they're gonna get." Or, err something like that. Love the roof top secret stalking/meeting/alluding though!! Oh, and I am onboard for Gwi monologuing his villainess plans--gosh that sexy voice--whilst making paper boats. A phrase I find odd to type and secretly enjoyed very much. Though the spell was kinda broken when he bathed in blood. Does he have a second tub? His after-I've-bathed-in-blood tub? I hope so.

Forbidden Request and Moonlight Rebellion! Did they really have pennames like this? It's a good joke on webtoon pennames!

Gisaengs getting that excited for books?! I can get behind that 100%! Teaching those kids to read in the village! 100%! Not to mentions props for having Sung Yeol find out that she's a girl so soon. Though that whole thing with him smirking and smiling kind of made him look like a creeper. (But a sexy creeper.)

This was a better episdoe and I'm already a victim of both Lee Joon Gi and Lee Soo Hyuk's stunning looks and sexy voices. (No really their voices are so distinct. Every time they speak BOOM! OVARIES!) Lee Joon Gi finally got to insert some of his great acting and sexy swagger into Sung Yeol and I approve. Oh and actor Shim Chang Min is killing it (AKA sexy as sin) playing Lee Yoon. Not to mention that I find Kim So Eun super sexy and I love her in this role. Even though I dropped Boys Over Flowers she was one of the few actors I enjoyed.

So yes, visually this is stunning! (AKA actor candy only!) The music started to move away from circus tune to over the top vampire stuff. So some improvement. The writing improved a whole bunch from the last episode, but it's still . . . bad. Come to find out that the writers are the originals behind the webtoon/manhwa, with one of the writers behind Coffee Prince to balance things out. The director actually did The Moon Embracing the Sun, which I have heard big things about. Everything about this drama should have been a wonderful idea, but the execution left a lot to be desired. With this improvement I am willing to give Scholar Who Walks the Night my normal 4 episode try.

Favorite quote: "Incredible. You have raised the bar when it comes to lewd drawings!"

Episode 2 review

While this episode wasn't as gripping as episode 1 was (in my opinion) it did have some good moments. Like the scene between Sung Yeol and Yang Sun. I didn't expect him to find out that she's a girl this quickly. Lee Soo Hyuk continues to impress and amaze me with his acting. All biased feelings about Lee Joon Gi aside, Lee Soo Hyuk is the main star of this show for me. He takes on the role of the cruel vampire so well I anticipate his scenes the most xD I also think that the choice of music improved and the last song in the episode was really creepy and fit the mood very well. From the preview of ep 3 I think this drama has potential to become very good!
