Good drama--especially the first 2/3. I love all the actors. Some of the characters (or maybe it was just the storyline) became a little too unrealistic. I liked the music, but there was too much of it which gave the story more of that unrealistic feel--like trying to draw out too much emotion (almost like the very old silent film days). I would have preferred to stick to a little more realism. I really liked Han Ji Min who played Oh Yeong Ji. I know she was younger but I would have liked to see more of her strong character that was initially alluded too. I would have preferred a less commanding, domineering and almost forceful role of So Ji Sub (Dr. Lee Cho In) in the latter episodes of the drama. So Ji Sub is one of my all-time favorite actors (suggestion: you must see "I'm Sorry, I Love You"). Overall "Cain and Abel" was a good drama and I could watch it again. I'm glad they had this on Netflix because I tried to watch it before on Viki, but the picture quality was so bad at that time, that I had to drop it.
This is still a favorite that I keep coming back to. I can't help myself--It sooo good! I highly recommend watching it. You won't be sorry! Also, if you're looking for something else to watch in addition, another favorite of mine is "Sorry, I love you." It is excellent (with So Ji Sub).
Good actors, storyline okay but not developed that well. Some cheesy humor but okay. Don't really like older woman/younger guy themes, but not too bad. Male leads are cute, also cute second FL. Realistic scenes trying to go back to work after being a housewife. Best part was the "book/publisher" theme. It was a little slow overall, but I still rated it an 8.0
Just re-watched this. It may seem a little too silly in the beginning, but it gets better and better as it goes. Especially watching it for the second time. Loved the actors.
After The tale of Nokdu , i started to watch historical drama hahah. Its so good and i really enjoyed watching…
I noticed that you watched Scarlet Heart. did you see the Korean version or the Chinese version? I love K-dramas, but I have to say that the Chinese version was really so good. if you haven’t watched it yet, you will be impressed by the story, actors, cinematography, music, everything . It is still one of my favorites to this day and I go back and watch it every now and then when I get a chance!
I have not watched this drama. I am so confused by all the negative comments that I don’t understand how this could be rated 8.5. From all the comments (some that should be marked as spoilers), it sounds like a big mess.
I watch this drama without any expectation and didn't read the sypnosis (which usually I always do before I watch…
What? A girl? what do you mean? I haven’t watched this yet. Should your comments be marked as a spoiler? I hope this doesnt ruin the drama for me. Now I’m not sure if I even want to watch it.
I’m binge watching it currently. I HATE joseon dramas, but I loved this one! I have one episode left and so…
I am sorry to hear that you don’t like “joseon dramas.” I can understand how you might feel from your description and there are some like that, BUT I have to say that most of my favorite dramas are historical Asian period dramas. Many of them are so well done and I can’t help but look for those first. (Although I also like many other genres too.) Don’t give up—I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Take care.
this drama is very dramatic, so if you like crying like me with dramas then this is it. On the negative side,…
I don’t like crying at all and I usually skip those kinds of dramas, but this one had a few appropriately touching scenes. It was not in the category of “having to drag out my whole box of tissues.” I appreciated that. It was very well done.
Best drama series this year. Excellent actors and storyline. The two ML (brothers) and FL were top notch—best actors ever (Oh Jung Se’s performance was perfect)! I wasn’t sure at first because it seemed a bit quirky in the very beginning but then it just developed into an amazing, charming, often hilarious, suspenseful drama all the way through to the very end—I couldn’t stop watching. I highly recommend it! My rating—10/10.
Also, if you're looking for something else to watch in addition, another favorite of mine is "Sorry, I love you." It is excellent (with So Ji Sub).
It just ruins it for everyone else.
