Liking 'Cain & Abel '

When the English subtitles of 'Cain & Abel' came out. I did a marathon of the drama.

Before reading what I think of C&A, let me again give you the synopsis and cast of this 9:55pm [Korean time] drama that airs every Wednesday & Thursday at SBS .

Synopsis
[courtesy of Korean Drama]

Cho In is a very gifted doctor who has everything that he wants whereas his older brother, Seon Woo, is jealous of all the attention that Cho In receives. Seon Woo blames his brother for taking everything good in his life away from him. Seon Woo blames Cho In for getting their father’s love, getting more recognition as a doctor, and for stealing the woman he loves.

Cast

So Ji Sub as Lee Cho In
Shin Hyun Joon as Lee Seon Woo
Han Ji Min as Oh Young Ji
Chae Jung Ahn as Kim Seo Yeon

So Ji Sup, Chae Jung Ahn & Shin Hyun Joon

Chae Jung Ahn & So Ji Sub

So Ji Sup & Han Ji Min

Despite the typicals of memory loss, love triangles and illness I'm already seeing, I really believe that this drama is worth watching.

With great actors in it, wonderful cinematography and interesting plot i tend to stick with this drama until the end.

I was drawn to the cinematography of episode 1 and 2, perkiness of So Ji Sub's character and was intrigue by the evil mother.

Episodes 3 to 6, brought out the great acting of the actors. They're awesome and the story intensifies that you get hungry and wants to ask for more.

But if you're the type of person who does not want to see so many blood and gory scenes, I suggest that you just fast forward that scene. Don't worry you won't be missing much except for a few medical terms.

I think that the drama is well paced with the leads are getting sufficient screen time. The story is already entangled but it's well progressing quite well.

The BGM and OST are actually very captivating. I love all of the songs and instrumentals. On of the songs is featuring So Ji Sub. Click play to listen to 'Foolish Heart' by G Rapper [a.k.a. So Ji Sub]

Hi Ms Liezle .
I really like his drama , SJS acting skill is outstanding , not many actors can act , can express their feelings through their eyes , their body languages as SJS does .
From beginning story line seems too ordinary but the more you watch the more you find this drama different , interesting ,not dragging as most of k dramas .It's really worth to watch .
