Cain and Abel

Oopssss !!! I broke my promise again !!!
I have abandoned my blog for 2 months plus. Seriously, life has been super super busy in the past 2 months.
Nah... I lied a little. It is true that life was really busy but I did have some time in between for writing. Yet I really did not feel like writing. There were times I did open the "composing new post page" but just could not write down anything at all because I was just really reluctant to write...
Now, forget about that. I am back home for 4 months. Yay !!! So I will try to update my blog from time to time.
Ermm... What should I share in this post?
Well, I shall talk about the "new" korean drama I have just finished watching just now. Why do I use inverted commas? It is simply because the drama is an old one (2009) but I just got it from a friend and finished watching it just a moment ago.
"Cain and Abel" is the name. It is quite nice and definitely worth watching. You can say that its plot is different from the usual korean dramas storyline and yet quite predictable.
Overall, it is a bit slow and a little boring because it was a bit draggy and quite predictable for me but I continued watching. (Frankly speaking, I continued watching because of the male protagonist --> He is very cute... + the ost for this drama is super duper nice. All the songs are awesome. I am listening to the songs right now. Just cannot stop listening. Oh my ! I am addicted !)
Must list down the OST:-
01 Foolish love - Choi Hyun Joon & G (Guess what. So Ji Sub is actually G, the rapper)
02 Love... is sweet - SAT
03 The sad words of leaving - V.O.S
04 The tears are dry - Lee Soo
05 Goodbye sadness - Jang Hye Jin
06 Fate - Howl
08 Tomorrow (acoustic version) - Chae Jung Ahn
The tracks listed above are recommended ! ^^ I do not like 07 though. The one I like the most is Tomorrow. =) I think I will go get the OST but do not know whether can get it or not since this drama is quite "old". Sigh...
Now, straight to the pros and cons of Cain and Abel:-
Pros:
- The male protagonist is super cute
- Wonderful OST
- Managed to make me shed tears in quite a number of episodes (can save up on Eye Mo ^_^)
- Cannot think of any other strengths. But strength no.1 is good enough for me to watch any
dramas or movies. Haha...
Cons:
- Storyline is predictable
- Male antagonist is super irritating
- Female lead - Oh Young Ji is too selfish (Felt like slapping her sometimes)
- Plot too slow and draggy
- Some parts of the plot is illogical and do not make any sense at all
- The worst male and female lead pairing I have ever seen. No chemistry at all...
But strength no.1 solely is enough to outweight the weaknesses of this drama. Haha...
This drama reinforced the fact of "humans' ugliness because of money, power, and fame" to me. Money is really really bad; and greed + jealousy are really really really scary.
Wow... It is 2 in the morning already. I got to stop writing and go to bed right now because I am going to start my community service tomorrow. So, I guess I will discuss and write more in the next posts.
Gotta go. Good night world !!!
