Although the media is careful to say the details aren’t finalized, they are reporting that Han Ji-min (Capital Scandal, Yi San) is on the shortlist to fill out the main cast of SBS’s Cain & Abel.
Either she is really close to being cast, or the media is jumping the gun again. She does seem to be seriously considering the role, and even went out earlier this month to eat with and spend some bonding time with the other three confirmed lead actors, So Ji-sub, Shin Hyun-joon, and Chae Jung-ahn. In any case, her management has acknowledged that Han will be making her decision soon, so we won’t have to wait long to find out.
A source at production house Plan B Pictures said, perhaps indicating their eagerness to bring in Han, “Because we’re still in the process of writing the script, the character can be adjusted.” Although Cain is a medical drama, her character is not a doctor, unlike leads So Ji-sub and Shin Hyun-joon, who also play brothers.
Han Ji-min finished up the long-running sageuk Yi San earlier this summer. Cain & Abel plans to start shooting in November and will air next February.
UPDATE: Han Ji-min is confirmed for Cain & Abel.

Wow Han Ji-min?
Interesting…
But the only problem is that she’s a bit short…
Is Han Ji-Min a supporting or lead actress?
Pretty awesome cast. Not particularly a fan of Han Ji Min though, so I’m glad she will (hopefully) just be playing the supporting actress – if she has a role in this drama at all. Chae Jung Ahn, FTW!
wow is that her picture? why does she look so plastic there? She looks so different…
yeah she looks diff in that picture.. but oh btw.. i love this casting news..
since han ji min is a good actress.. ^^ happy to see her as a probable choice. i hope it goes through. im confused about this drama as it is..
yikes. looks like someone did her nose…
Yay, I ♥ her!
Looks like she’s taking up the supporting role though :/
Does that mean Jung Ryu Won is out of the picture? I’ve been anxiously waiting for SJS’s comeback but started dreaded it after the news of JRW being cast as lead. I just can’t stand the girl, much prefer HJM.
jung ryeo won already casted for another drama with park min young.. i am so curious why SJS si stubborn wanna play this drama
Gonna look out for this drama coz SJS gonna be in it and HJM is soo cute.
i think they phoshop the pic too much. she’s a natural no doubt about it
I like Han Ji-min, but she usually chooses pretty so-so dramas besides Dae Jang Geum and Resurrection. I haven’t seen Yi-San so I can’t vouch for that one.
II hope Cain and Abel is an exception.
I wish Ji Jin-hee was still in the cast. *frown*
aren’t Han Ji Min & Chae Jung Ahn close friends? it would be interesting to see them in a drama both liking the same guy.
YES! i’m definitely watching cain and abel now!
