Title Naeil's Cantabile
i think i;ll drop this one. i didn;t expect korean Nodame be as good as japanese, but they completely messed it up! It is shallow and boring. Good acting you may see only in older generation: Lee Byung-Joon (great skills!) , Ahn Kil-Kang, Ye Ji-Won ... they do play their roles not just fill the space at the film plan like manequinns. It's already episode 5 and i couldn't get attatched to ANY main character! And what i completely cannot forgive - they killed what many of fans loved in jdorama the most - the music! Soundtrack is awful. It's a strange mix of pieces known from Nodame Cantabile and new ones. I may be not a connoisseur, but for my untrained ears the pieces ain't played well - they don't "reach to the heart" like original does. Flat and dull, sometimes don't even make a good background for the action (if you can call Joo Won's long staring at the wall or Shim Eun-Kyung's annoying meaowing an "action"). Technical side: not good enough: bad scenery, bad clothes, bad dialogues, bad camera work, bad surrounding sound. Yeah, that summs it up: bad.
