Drama Casting & News
Chae Jung-ahn back onstage
by | February 6, 2009 | 9 Comments

You may know that Chae Jung-ahn (Coffee Prince) got her start in the late ’90s as a (pretty forgettable) dance-pop singer. The actress has said she intends to pursue a career as an actress rather than as a singer these days, but she’ll still be showing off some of her singing in her upcoming drama, Cain and Abel.

Chae plays a childhood friend of So Ji-sub‘s character, and has harbored one-sided feelings So’s brother, played by Shin Hyun-joon, since her youth. Requisite love triangle ensues; Han Ji-min rounds out the main cast.

In the scene pictured above, Chae is a songwriter who unveils a new song, which was written to be sung by another pop singer and which expresses her gratitude toward her longtime friend (So). The concert scene was filmed on February 2 at an arena in Seoul, with Chae playing the guitar herself. (Making a cameo appearance is singer Jang Hye-jin.)

Cain & Abel premieres on SBS on February 18. (I dunno, the cast sure is appealing, but nothing about this brotherly-competition-medical-drama story draws me to it. Will the So Ji-sub love be enough?)

    Didn’t Chea Jung Ahn once play a famous pop singer in a series called Mina or something? About her lookalike replacing her after she got into a serious accident..

    Anywayz, you’re right about C & A, the storyline’s pretty cliche. Brothers going for one girl…etc. But for me – the So Ji Sub love is definitely going to keep me going. XP

    So Ji-sub and Shin Hyun-joon are great actors, I’m willing to give it a chance!

    If not for So Ji-sub, Sorry I Love You could have been a melodramatic mess. Sure it still made everyone cry buckets….but in a [good] way. LOL.

    @azzuri

    I totally agree with you.
    Did you use the same words that I wanted to write…
    I hope that my heart will not be disappointed.

    Maybe the BBF has gotten me badly, but with a quick glance, Jung-ahn looks like Ga-eul =D
