The cast for the role of the older brother has not yet been decided.

'Cain and Abel' which will be filmed on location in San Francisco is a large scale drama with an estimated production cost of 600 million won. The broadcasting channel is to be determined while the series will be filmed 70% in advance.

So Ji Sub decides not to give up Cain and Abel project

http://www.whnews.cn/images/2007-03/20/xin...86871448015.jpg

Recently, Hallyu star So JI Sub has expressed his attitude many times to pursue a side of bankruptcy drama project “Cain and Abel” till the end. He did not only initiatively extend the filming contract but also undertake to return to the filming group whenever they want.

While Korean trend is going downhill now, So Ji Sub – a famous star has initiatively solved this problem, his action has received many praise from people.

In last May, after “Cain and Abel” had defined main casts included So Ji Sub, Ji Jin Hee and Jung Ryu Won, the producer has appealed the investment of two billions won from Japanese investors. However, this project can be fallen to pieces, and producer is preceding the hazard to face with an international litigation.

The above engagement of So Ji Sub has easily erased this hazard. Specially, after being demobilized at the end of last April, So Ji Sub has bypassed many returning chances, even drama and movie, Although actor and actress Ji Jin Hee and Jung Ryu Won have chose the other scenarios, but So JI Sub still sticks to “Cain and Abel.” He has shown his capability as a big star.

The representative of production company said “For So Ji Sub, we can only say sorry and thanks to him”, “If he takes part in other films before this project starts filming, we can sympathize.”

Moreover, the poet Won Tae Yeon has taken part in writing the script. This drama is currently having a final scenario corrected and starts filming in this June. The producer is trying to broadcast “Cain and Abel” at the end of 2008.

So Ji-sub returns after 4 years

Can you believe it? "Sorry, I Love You" was four years ago and we haven't seen him in a drama since!

Now So Ji-sub is coming back on the television through "Abel and Cain" replacing kwon Sang-woo and Ko Hyeon-jeong's drama "Daemool".

After some complications with releasing the drama "Daemool" for this November, it has come to the decision that SBS will have the new drama "Abel and Cain" aired this winter.

"Abel and Cain" itself had much struggles throughout its production; writer changes and title change from "Cain And Abel". Even through these changes our hot actor, So Ji-sub's return has been the topic since his serving Korea in the military for two years.

The new drama's writer Park Kye-Ok, wrote well-known dramas such as "Biscuit Teacher And Star Candy" starring Gong-yoo and Kong Hyo-jin, "Invisible Man" starring Yoo Oh-seong and Chae Si-ra, and "Innocent Steps" starring Moon Geun-young. The storyline and character portrayal is much anticipated for this drama.

Some say that the title will change again and the starring actors and actresses will be finalized once again. However, what's for sure is that the filming will start this August with So Ji-sub

CAIN AND ABEL EMPHASIZES BROTHERLY STRIFE

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm96/ja...2008/sjs_42.jpg

Urgh, confused yet again by the vaguery that is Doctor Stop aka Cain & Abel aka So Ji-sub’s comeback drama.

First called Cain & Abel, the drama had attached Jung Ryeo-won opposite So, but then undergone production delays and planning issues, losing both Jung and its original title. At one point the SBS president even said it was officially canceled. It was then called Doctor Stop and may or may not replaced its original PD, and then may or may not have gotten him back on board.

Anyway. Now the drama is back to being called Cain & Abel and has fixed upon a February 2009 premiere on SBS (it’ll be a Wednesday-Thursday series). Writing the script is Park Kye-ok; behind the camera is Kim Hyung-shik (Surgeon Bong Dal-hee).

Shin Hyun-joon has been cast as So Ji-sub’s brother, marking both lead actors’ return to television after five years — Shin in Stairway to Heaven and So in I’m Sorry, I Love You. Apparently part of the reason for the name switch (again) is to highlight the rift between the brothers (although I wonder if the Cain/Abel title actually ties into the story more than as a vague, thematic Biblical reference).

Filling in for Jung Ryeo-won’s vacated female lead role is Coffee Prince’s Yuju, Chae Jung-ahn. The drama starts filming in November.

Main cast almost complete for Cain & Abel

Although the media is careful to say the details aren’t finalized, they are reporting that Han Ji-min (Capital Scandal, Yi San) is on the shortlist to fill out the main cast of SBS’s Cain & Abel.

Either she is really close to being cast, or the media is jumping the gun again. She does seem to be seriously considering the role, and even went out earlier this month to eat with and spend some bonding time with the other three confirmed lead actors, So Ji-sub, Shin Hyun-joon, and Chae Jung-ahn. In any case, her management has acknowledged that Han will be making her decision soon, so we won’t have to wait long to find out.

A source at production house Plan B Pictures said, perhaps indicating their eagerness to bring in Han, “Because we’re still in the process of writing the script, the character can be adjusted.” Although Cain is a medical drama, her character is not a doctor, unlike leads So Ji-sub and Shin Hyun-joon, who also play brothers.

Han Ji-min finished up the long-running sageuk Yi San earlier this summer. Cain & Abel plans to start shooting in November and will air next February.

UPDATE: Han Ji-min is confirmed for Cain & Abel.

So Ji Sub arrived at the filming ground early in the morning and the entire shooting proceed smoothly with almost no NG at all. The doctor consultant from the hospital gave So Ji Sub a very high rating on his acting and said: “His acting skill is so superb that during the surgery scene, I feel that he is even more skilled than some of the doctors.”

During the filming, fans from all over gathered beside and kept waving to So Ji Sub. Apart from his loyal fans, patients and their family members were also among the crowd wanting to catch a glimpse at this superstar.

So Ji Sup Filming In Harsh Conditions for Cain and Abel

The production team of SBS Cain and Abel are now in China for overseas filming. A production still showed So Ji Sup with a bloodied face lying on the sand, showing his strong will to live against the unforgiving desert.

For the opening and other related scenes for Cain and Abel. So Ji Sup together with the production team came to the deserts near the outskirts of Inner Mongolia and Western China for filming. The filming lasted 7 days and 6 nights as they battled against the unforgiving harsh desert enviroment. While it was scorching hot in the day with temperatures nearing 40° celsius, it would turn unbearably cold at night with the temperature dropping to 0° and below. But the production team chose to film in such harsh conditions because they felt it complemented the cold unforgiving theme for Cain and Abel very well.

So Ji Sup expressed, "The weather was harsh and everyone had a really rough time, but we did our best in order for a good outcome." Cain and Abel revolves around the story between two brothers who are doctors with different set of values as they face off against each other in their careers and love. Other cast members include Han Ji Min, Shin Hyun Joon and Chae Jung Ahn.

After the conclusion of the desert filming, the production team will still be filming in other parts of China until the end December before returning to Korea.

Han Ji Min is actively learning North Korean Languge

Actress Han Ji Min, who will be playing in SBS’s upcoming drama “Cain and Abel” next year, is now actively learning North Korean language and building up her body in preparation.

In “Cain and Abel”, Han Ji Min will play as a North Korean woman, Oh Ji Young, who has escaped to the South. In order to make her acting more realistic, she has spent 3.5 hours everyday just to practice her pronunciation (North Korean). She also spent the same amount of time doing Pilates everyday, bringing her total hours practicing up to 7 hours.

A close friend of Han Ji Min said: “Everyone thought that her health isn’t really in good condition after she met with a traffic accident while filming ‘Wolf’. But this is not true. She has a very good stamina and can do intensive trainings everyday.”

Through her high rating drama “Yi San” this year, Han Ji Min has won the recognition from viewers once again. After she finished her filming, she went over to Australia to accompany her sister for around 1.5 months before flying directly to Paris for a fashion show.

“Cain and Abel” is currently doing overseas shooting in China and Han Ji Min will set off to join the team today.
