New TV series “Scholar Who Walks the Night” released still cuts of the fateful first meeting between the vampire-scholar Kim Seong-yeol (Lee Joon-ki) and cross-dressed bookseller Cho Yang-seon (Lee Yu-bi). “Scholar Who Walks the Night” is a fantasy drama about a humane vampire scholar who gets caught in a live-or-die love relationship with a bookseller through a special book that holds the secret to fighting ultimate evil.

While hunting down booksellers for the special book, Seong-yeol meets Yang-seon who possesses a “sweet scent.” In the teaser still cut, Yang-seon is heading excitedly to Hwayanggak upon Seong-yeol’s summons. The two face each other across a barrier separating them. 

Yang-seon is peering at the barrier as if to see through it and finally get a glimpse of the much-talked about scholar. But on the other side of the barrier, Seong-yeol is determined to hide his identity and holds a fan up to his face. The photo piques the viewers’ curiosity about what will happen when the two characters meet for the first time.

“Seong-yeol and Yang-seon’s first encounter will be a scene filled with both queer tension and excitement. An unexpected incident brings Yang-seon under Seong-yeol’s radar, and the subtle tension between the two characters will be passed on to the viewers,” said the production team. “We hope everyone experiences that good tickling feeling after watching the first episode of ‘Scholar Who Walks the Night’ tonight.”
