I decided to watch Cain and Abel because the premise sounded interesting and I'm a new fan of Han Ji Min. I also wanted to see what all the fuss about So Ji Sub was… Story- Very intense throughout. I liked not exactly knowing what was going to happen next. I liked that it took place in different settings. It helped to keep the story fresh and watchable till the end. The episodes have a good pace. The wea point of the story would be the romance. It was kind of not believable at certain times just because Cho In was so obsessed with the first gf for a long time. Solid ending. Acting/cast- Solid acting by the 4 leads. So Ji Sub was very good at playing both the Dr. and Young Ji’s fake cousin. He pulled off the two different characters well. Now even though the acting was top notch, I just could not get invested in the characters. First, I was turned off by So Ji Sub’s character in the beginning. His decision to date his older brother's love just because he had been gone a while, just didn’t sit right with me. Now as odd as it sounds, I actually was rooting for the villain Sun Woo. Yes he did unforgivable things but I kind of understood where he was coming from. I was rooting for him to see the light and be reunited with Seo Yeon. Ha Ji Min’s character was sooo annoying. Not only was her North Korean accent she had throughout annoying but also her actions just made her character not likeable. She also asks too many questions! Let’s just say it was really hard to root for her. I liked the supporting cast. The villains were villainy and the side Dr. couple was funny/cute. Music- it fit the scenes but I didn’t really like it. Rewatch- I don’t think I’ll be watching this again but it is rewatchable. Overall, on the surface Cain and Abel is a high quality drama but I just didn’t get that feeling you get by the end when you really enjoyed a drama and are sad to see it end.
