Caim e Abel (2009)

Outro dos meus doramas preferidos Cain And Abel é um drama igualmente eletrizante envolvente como Goodbye Mr. Black. A atuação de So Ji Sub está impressionante. Bem sofrida e angustiante como o Dr. Lee Cho In. A trilha sonara conta com mais músicas instrumentais do que cantadas muito boas. Além de atuar no drama Ji Sub também está presente na trilha sonora com a sua Foolish Love. E o que dizer de sua companheira de cena Han Ji Min que também está igual de impressionante com sua Oh Young-ji que não deixa nada a desejar. Os dramas de sua personagem são bem reais e angustiantes também. Apesar reprovar algumas atitudes de Oh Young-ji gosto muito da historia que os personagens principais constroem ao longo do drama. O elenco todo está de parabéns fizeram um excelente trabalho principalmente os antagonistas que deixa o telespectador realmente com ódio deles com cada ação que fazem contra o personagem principal.

This is the first time I would actually describe a KDrama rich in makjang in terms of ´cool´.

"Cain and Abel" from 2009 presents itself in the best KDrama tradition of early 3rd Millenium makjang productions. In the background, the OST is repeatedly setting the rhythm proclaiming doom with implacable beats. The dramaturgical motifs are basically familiar: there are 2 more or less competing brothers, a wicked stepmother, a comatose father, amnesia in the meantime, two queens of the heart ... and what the hospital environment (specifically the neurosurgical department) has to offer is not just a brain tumor... It´s makjang at its finest. Eventually the scene is temporarily shifting to China, there also focusing on the unfortunate issue of North Korean refugees. It becomes action-packed and exciting. All in all, the plot doesn't seem too surprising at first glance, but as it progresses you might all of a sudden realize, how the story has long since grabbed and pulled you in.

This is the first time I would actually describe a KDrama rich with makjang in terms of ´cool´.

Admittedly, here the bad guys are actually truely bad guys. Forgiveness is not a foreign word, but sometimes one may want to question this concept in principle, regarding the unscrupulousness and maliciousness of the perpetrators.

Title and story explicitly refer to the biblical motif: the first murderer case in human history told in Christian terms, where the older brother chose his younger brother as a victim. Out of envy. In the competition for recognition. Here it is the recognition as a brilliant neurosurgeon ... by the father, by the professional world, by the supervisory board (as head of a new center for neurosurgery) and as a man (by his queen of hearts). The mother wickedly helps and sows the bad seed, which grows effortlessly.

This fraternal quarrel (in which obviously not everything is and always has been quarrel) comes to live with high intensity by the performance of So Ji-sub (who appears in a quite bold manner for long stretches) and Shin Hyun-joon (who has already perfected his characteristic ´sad look´ in "Stairway to Heaven"). The two really get into their roles and take the viewers with them. The story gains as 'little Abel' covers a good distance in a parka and among refugees in China. So the story not only takes place in the elitist world of doctors, between surgical gowns and suits, but also gets more down-to-earthness in the struggle for survival of simple and non-privileged people at the opposite pole of social life. The two female leads Han Ji-min and Chae Jung-an also embody the contrast of these worlds in their own way.
