Drama Casting & News
New stills from Cain & Abel
by | January 22, 2009 | 38 Comments

Cain & Abel has released some new stills to stir up interest as it gears up for its premiere. The series will take SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday slot over from the current drama A Star’s Lover.

The release of new photos comes with the opening of the drama’s official website (http://tv.sbs.co.kr/cain). In the show, So Ji-sub (I’m Sorry, I Love You) and Shin Hyun-joon (Last Present) play brothers and doctors, whose rocky relationship is thrown into conflict (naturally!) over two women, played by Han Ji-min (Capital Scandal) and Chae Jung-ahn (Coffee Prince).

The drama has been in the works for more than two years and was supposed to be So Ji-sub’s post-army-duty comeback project, so I suppose that puts “long-awaited” into context, doesn’t it?

Cain & Abel broadcasts its first episode on February 18.

    looks very different from what I pictured it to be , i liked the original storyline but thsi one is also good but So ji sub looks too much of a nice guy in it , that it seems like it will be another one of his cm of taht coffee drink lmao

  2. Heejae

    I look forward to watching this one :D
    I fangirl So Ji Sub a lot. I hope that it lives up to expectations. Then again, if it has So Ji Sub in it… *laughs*
    Thanks for the stills<3

    so ji sub is sooo hot…i’m loving the clean cut look he’s sporting. sigh…

  4. Liv

    The first pic could be a still from We Are Dating Now – considering its 7 years (and 2 years of army service) since that drama was shot, clearly the man has aged very well (or rather – is not aging at all).

    Shades of Boys Before Flowers. I could have sworn that I was looking at Koo Hye Sun instead of Ha Ji Min.

    Weird coincidence? Maybe it’s the hair.

  6. ripgal

    Story sounds really typical…
    But I hope SJS and the rest of the cast can make it work…

    SJS never disappoints for sure..

  7. coolsmurf

    not really digging han ji min hairstyle. the last han ji min picture looks like song hae gyo. chae jung ahn looks good as always.

  8. fizzle

    Thank you, Jisub, for shaving!! He looks so adorable in that first picture. And so does Han Ji Min!

  9. deeta

    Man, Han Jimin always manages to look cute! I’m actually anticipating this too. I love SJS, I love HJM, I love CJA, and I’m sure I’m gonna love SHJ.

    I can already tell I’m going to greatly enjoy the styling of the cast, hee.

  11. 11 stargazer377

    ahh! so ji sub! i can’t wait!

  12. 12 Rose

    I’m a fan of so ji sub and Han ji min, I don’t know but I think HJM doesn’t suit SJS pretty well because she looks a lot tinier compare to a big guy SJS. But anyway, I’m still going to like this drama since this is SJS comeback since he was discharge from the army.

  13. 13 Tori

    this is so good. i’ve always love so jisub. and i like han jimin. i am looking forward to this drama. it’s been a long wait for us JS Addicts.

  14. 14 c_gunawan541

    SJS is bringing sexy back!! I love him in rough cut and i’m sure this gonna be a great drama because of him. He’s an eye candy in my eyes and i love his acting.
    I just hope that the storyline and director is good…. i don’t really like medical dramas T_T

  15. 15 Jill

    I am ready to weep..for So JiSub..He’s so sexy..it hurts!

  16. 16 m

    why did they name this ? cain and abel… isnt cain and abel a bible story about 2 brothers? and one of them kills the other?

  17. 17 cc

    The pics look great! Anticipating this drama~

    so ji subbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb! my mannnn

    good luck to SJS…
    hopefully this series can compete well with KBS and MBC series…
    and not follow its predecessors…PAINTER OF THE WIND and STAR’s LOVER.
    yeah they are popular, but rating-wise they are at the last.

    SJS was so adored in I’M SORRY, I LOVE YOU…with his rough character…this will be a totally different character, hopefully he can attract people with this character and not rely on I’M SORRY, I LOVE YOU fame.

  20. 20 tc

    competition will be fierce for sure. hopefully the script is good, then SJS will deliver!

    FIGHTING So Ji Sub!!!

  21. 21 sonam

    I don’t like the preppy look on SJB. I like him down and dirty like in Rough Cut.

  22. 22 hot_saranghae

    Chae JungAhn and Han Jimin look like sisters in the last 2 pics…..I never thought that they look alike b4 seeing the pic^^…
    neways can’t wait for this to start….none of the korean dramas playing right now is catching my attention, so I’m kinda looking forward to all the upcoming dramas^^~

  23. 23 Anonymous

    can someone please clarify for me whether chae jung ahn/han ji min is the female lead? i presumed the latter, but on the website (with the list of characters), chae jung ahn’s appears before…

  24. 24 KATE

    LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE….*.*

  25. 25 meme

    Oh!

    Totally into it. Whatever So Ji Sub in it.

    A great cast. Loved all of it.

    “I could have sworn that I was looking at Koo Hye Sun instead of Ha Ji Min. ”

    Hairstyles are similar, but Han Ji Min’s character is supposed to be a North Korean refugee. Hey now, that explains why Jan Di so crazy . . . The setup is kinda intriguing though. On paper, C&A synopsis reads like a standard medical soap, but along with the refugee angle, there’s location shooting in the deserts of China. Anyway, from the pictures, it looks like HJM will pair with SJS, and CJA with SHJ.

    “isnt cain and abel a bible story about 2 brothers? ”

    Basically it translates to So Ji Sub dying again (Spoiler Alert! Abel doesn’t live), thus giving us almost 7 years of the Passion of the So Ji Sup. This show was originally based on a video, and SJS’s character would have died in that one too.

    Word is they’re going to have a “Live Shoot So Ji Sup” Hotline during the show’s run, whereby you dear viewer will get to choose his character’s glorious death. Your choices include the following:

    A) By train
    B) By plain
    C) By flame
    D) Tonight So Ji Sup dines in hell! W00t W00t!!

    I seriously hope they don’t kill him off again. Might as well just skip the whole “living” part and make him a vampire who falls in love with Mormons who smell good. Awesome!

    Oh, my. So Jisup looks so young in these stills! He doesn’t look like a 32 year old at all.

  30. 30 TC

    Somehow the first photo reminded me of Im Soo Jung’s Song Eun Chae.

    And, yes, I agree with the one who mentioned that Jisub’s hairdo is similar to what he sported in We Are Dating Now.

    Looking forward to watching this drama soon!

  31. 31 ginger

    how tall is han ji min? what is her height?
    I So JI Sub 6 feet? then she must be around 5….???

  32. 32 cathy

    so ji sub
    oh my god you’re so adorable.too cute,too nice!
    u make me wanna become korean,muahhaa

    I think so ji sub is around 5’11 so i think han ji min is around 5’2 or 5’3… just finished watching this drama yesterday and as much as I hated the villains, what made me stick through the end is the lovely pairing of so ji sub and han ji min. Yeah han ji min do really look tiny around so ji sub it’s just that their pairing is adorable and very cute. I hope so ji sub could do romantic comedies as well, seems like he cries a lot… i think it’s really sad to see guys cry i don’t want seeing a lot of it again.
