So Ji-sub and Shin Hyun-joon may be cast as competitive brothers embroiled in strife, but they look anything but antagonistic in front of reporters, no?
SBS is about to premiere its new drama, the (long, long-)awaited Cain & Abel, which follows the just-ended Star’s Lover on Wednesdays and Thursdays. (With the big names of A Star’s Lover failing to attract ratings — the Choi Ji-woo and Yoo Ji-tae-led series went out with a disappointing 6.2% — SBS is hoping that this star-studded series will have better luck.)
The high-profile cast was on hand for the drama’s production press conference, which was held in North Chungcheong on the afternoon of February 13. The drama airs its first episode next week, on February 18.
As for the press conference, some came looking absolutely gorgeous; for instance, a radiant-looking Han Ji-min, alongside co-star Chae Jung-ahn:
While others… erm…
(So Ji-sub is a talented actor. He also has really eccentric fashion sense, which I have often found puzzling. It doesn’t make him any less sexy when he’s acting, but outside of that context… meh. Is it a biker’s jacket? Tie-dyed leather? Member’s only? With — horrors — a mesh-like see-through shirt underneath?)
But I admit I do like seeing actors looking comfortable and chummy around each other:
Some of the additional cast includes newer faces like Yoo Joo-hee (dressed in red) and Han Da-min (in white).

RECENTLY RECAPPED
first! yeah, that biker jacket from the 80′s needs to go. i’ll be the first to admit i don’t appreciate high fashion but if that qualifies as it, count me out!
GOOD LUCK to this series.
KBS series is going strong and it caters the ajuhmmas with its matured casting.
SJS is a good actor but seeing the preview was like watching MISA after 5 years…
well, maybe he is good in doing melancholic acting…but he is simply within his limited range in acting. hope this drama can compete with RETURN OF ILJIMAE to say the least. as ILJIMAE has been sliding from 18% to now 13% rating.
Shin Hyun Joon is so suave. SJS is doing his own thing.
I love the way the lady in the black outfit is so comfortable with the guys. I am also a little envious.
and the title of the 1st picture is…!
GAYNESS.
and i mean that in both ways. hahaha.
i didn’t mean to offend any of you, but that’s just what popped out of my mind.
don’t get me wrong either, i like both actors ^_^
both actors looked happy-gay, and gay-gay, thus “gayness” :p
Jisub looked better after he took off the leather jacket
With the black cardigan, he was at least color-coordinated with the others 
I remember Shin Hyun-joon in Stairway to Heaven. Loved his bonding with Kwon Sang Woo. I hope he and Jisub have a good working relationship as well. He is the more senior actor and could help Jisub further improve his craft.
oh wow. i didn’t know han ji min could look this hot. she is absolutely stunning.
So ji sub hairstyle and fashionista should go for make over .
ouch. i so did not catch that mesh/see through shirt at first glance. wow, so ji sup…really? regardless, i still think he’s talented and hot. hahahaha
Oh…. but i thought Jung Ryo Won (my name is kim sam soon) was the feminine lead here… what happened?
Firstly, did they all get dressed in the dark?
Or maybe their stylists secretly hate them (?)
Stylist: I just found the perfect outfit for you… trust me, you’ll look stunning *snickers*
Secondly, I feel that first picture is missing one of those “Please don’t divorce us” signs.
HAHA.. brotherly hugzz, that’s too much for SJS! lolz..
I don’t get SJS’s outfit too…as hot as he may be (he’ll always be a hottie to me), that jacket’s just plain weird.
Loving the girl’s outfits tho… slick and simple..
so after watching the amazingly well written “Worlds Within” tank in the ratings, whats the likelihood of this drama having a deep and layered script???
is there a chance in hell?
still holding out hope though…
I love the first picture. They both look so happy and comfy together.
But the outfit is a NO NO to SJS (still looks cute though).
In these pictures, So Ji-sub looks like he could be the older version of Yoo Seung-ho. So Ji-sub does indeed have an eccentric fashion sense. That jacket is hideous.
i think it’s only me who thought like You dramabeans honestly i never like his style , weird even when he was using that high heels that made him as tall as Kang ji hwan. Plese ji sub ssi But i always speechless when i saw him in his Projects he is So Talented, the best acting in His gang too ( Kwon sang Woo and Song seung heon ). who doubt his skill
so i am his Fan but not his style
i’d so pay to see these guys in Frozen Flower 2 (or maybe even 1
)
(i think Members Only jackets tend to be khaki, tweed type stuff for conservative middle-agers, who may even indulge in combovers. they’d never sell hippie, dyed leather! methinks SJS should star with JGS in a drama or movie next, solely for the doubly outrageous fashion we’ll get at the press-con! i’m foaming at the thought already…)
Well, I’m pretty optimistic about the drama but it seems the survival of rating will be between HBOA AND C&A..
So Ji Sub’s expressions are really cute! <3 I’d pay somebody to rip it off him, though. It’s… a tad weird to see him smiling. Whyyy does he only do emo dramas? I loved Misa but there’s only so much a person can take. Or maybe he only gets offered emo dramas?
Han Ji Min looks gorgeous, although tiny as always, haha. ^^ Chae Jung Ahn is pretty… Is Shin Hyun Joon the guy from Kiss’ Because I’m a Girl MV?
Listen up, So Ji-sub. Tie-dyed anything, let alone leather, never goes! What were you thinking? Sack your stylist!
Expectations are high … even though it has been 5 years since ‘Sorry, I love you’. The critics (aka Dramabeans, myself and every other kdrama lover) are waiting with our laptops at the ready to critique the hell out of it!
Personally I find So Ji Sub’s outfit quite unique. No matter you like it or not, the point is that his style always manages to get the attention from the media, fans or anti-fans. I think his stylist is very smart and she did a great job.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to watch C&A. And the reason is no other than So JiSub of course. Some people may think the synopsis is quite cliché. But if many people already know the familiar story like Boys Before Flowers and still desperate want to watch, I think C&A also deserve a chance despite of the unoriginal story. Please, don’t let your prejudgement blinds your wise judgement!
Happy Valentine everyone!
Oopppsss…SJS doesn’t look good in the main photo >.<
So Ji Sub is hot no matter what he wears. Fashion is supposed to be fun, and he dares to experiment, to be different, to entertain.
A bit of eccentricity is a must for a good actor imho…..
I recently became a So Ji-Sub fan after seeing him in Rough Cut. Wow, what a cool guy. I really like his style–physically and acting-wise. I had avoided seeing anything with him in it before because I was so disgusted by the photo spread he did. But a friend really recommended Rough Cut so I broke down and saw it. I am still irate about the photos, but I can move past it. LOL.
By the way, I saw more photos of this event on another site and there were a few where SJS and SHJ walked up to the stage holding hands. Even though it’s two guys, it was really adorable. SJS had the most adorable giggle-face on, like a little girl. I hope you all can find these photos. His expression is so adorable while having his hand held.
I could not stop looking (in a ‘train-wreck-but-you-can’t-help-but-look’ way) at that pic of So Ji-sub purple leather jacket pic.
First thing that popped into my head:
“Excuse me but when did Andre Kim* reveal that So Ji-sub is his long lost son?”
(“as in Andre Kim the alien-looking-very-freaky-give-me-nightmares *shudder* ‘designer’, who makes very good looking celebs look like ^%$ at his shows. Apologises to all the Andre Kims in this world if I got the name wrong.)
Very bad when So Ji-sub makes me think of Andre Kim.
What is with Ji-Sub’s face (the 2nd shot where he is looking slightly to the side – very *shudder* Andre Kim-like)? The ‘fashion’? Sorry but that ain’t edgy it screams creepy. Can someone please provide this fine actor with a mirror? Less is more. Less makeup. Less something. Cause Ji-sub is looking very Andre Kim-creepy…..
Now I need some therapy…….Boys Over Flowers STAT! Lee Min-Ho ASAP!
Han Ji Min looks really really good with her short hair and fabulous makeup. And So Ji Sub looks awesome and adorable regardless of what he’s wearing. How I love this man.
I, too, love it when actors look close and comfortable with each other. I can already tell I’m going to looooove this drama.
Chae Jung-ahn has a gorgeous body and looks very fierce. I’m already biased, I will rooting for So Ji-sub and her because they look very compatible.
I just watched a commercial for it at the end of Terroir ep 17. All I could think of for the first few seconds was, “Run, Bitch! Run!” (just watched a clip of Boondocks before that, sorry folks
) and “Isn’t that Evanescence in the background?”
I prefer Shin Hyun Joon at any day!
( well I like older men anyway )
Mwahahaha, why even that kind of jacket exists?
I’m looking forward of this, so I won’t be forget my maturity side after being such a fan girl on Mondays and Tuesdays!
( I love Lee Min Ho too, that’s my guilty pleasure~
)
Cain and Abel Press Conference

(at the 6:52 mark, there’s a live cellist and mime performance. Does this make C&A a comedy?
)
You can’t take the old school “B-Boy” out of So Ji-sub…so the jacket is appropriate…hehehh.
I love how han ji min can pull off just about any look. She looks gorgeous with long hair and now she’s looks adorable in short hair. Total Envy!
Anyways.. I’m hoping this will be a good series to watch.
SJS is talented actor , personally i think he looks cute , cool in this outfit . ! episode
of C&A rating pretty promising at 16% .
For actors in Boys over flower they’re cute too but their acting skill are still long way
to go , but they’re young , they still have a lot of time to improve their skill .
Return of Iljimae rating is sliding , it isn’t hi surprising , i always see that LJK in Iljimae
acting pretty impressive , especially his eyes are million dollars smile and his
bright eyes .He’s pretty boy but not gay looking as BYJ. . i’m not his diehard fan
anyway .
East of Eden , overall is ok , none of them are really outstanding in acting , Love
stories are so boring , no chemistry at all . SSH is handsome but his acting not
really impressive . actress in Grace character , her acting is so poor , i wonder why she got award .
I <3 SO JI SUB!!!!
