Group 8 to Make Korean Version of Japanese Drama “Nodame Cantabile�

[South Club]

Award-winning Japanese drama “Nodame Cantabile†will be remade for Korean television.

 

Broadcasting insiders said on January 27 that production company Group 8 has decided to produce a Korean version of “Nodame Cantabile.â€

 

“Nodame Cantabile†first appeared in a Japanese manga magazine in 2001 and is the work of manga artist Tomoko Ninomiya. The classical music-themed manga has a total of 23 volumes, and over 26 million copies have been sold to date.

 

In 2006, Fuji TV adapted “Nodame Cantabile†into a drama, with the Ueno Juri as Noda Megumi and Tamaki Hiroshi as Chiaki Shinichi. The following year, Fuji TV made an anime version of the series. “Nodame Cantabile†was a huge hit, along with its OST and associated games. Two movie sequels to the drama were released in theaters in 2009 and 2010, with the original cast.

 

“Nodame Cantabile†was also immensely popular abroad; it was screened in places such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, and achieved 2% ratings when screened on cable in Korea.

 

2008 MBC drama “Beethoven Virus†had similar subject matter. The classical music-themed drama starred Kim Myung Min, Jang Geun Suk and Lee Ji Ah.

 

Group 8, which also did “Goong,†“Boys Over Flowers†and “Pretty Man,†  is no stranger to drama adaptations of comics. The company plans to air the drama within the year, and is currently casting writers and actors. The drama has yet to find itself a broadcaster.

 

To those who watched the drama, who would you cast?

[twinky]

Group 8 need to stop make remake of Jap dramas, first they did Boys Over Flower, then Playful Kiss

i hope it's not a mess

 

can i suggest Yonghwa for the male lead?

he's musically inclined, can play lots of instruments and kinda looks like chiaki senpai, he's also a big fan of nodame contabile

[xprixgr]

This is one of the few Asian dramas I've ever liked and now they're gonna ruin it with a remake. They should just stick to adapting manhwas because all their manga adaptations and remakes have sucked.

[Bluee]

oh gosh dont...

i dont want a good jdrama to be ruined

[Sun☼Shine]

This will not end well

[Rhyme]

Please no, Nodame was so beautiful i don't want them to ruin it

[Kr4M]

OMg...I dont think this remake can surpass the Jdrama version heck its one of manga adaptation that is much better than the anime.....

[oompa loompa]

Noadame Contabile is a fun drama. About korean, idk.

[Jeffrey Jung]

Didn't they also wanted to do Korean 1 Liter of Tears as well

[kuroswan]

Oh god please no!!!

[masakio]

watch it be lee minho and park shin hye

 

i just hope they don't make another mess like heirs....respect what's been done. don't make another version

ugh they are so wrong for the part. park shin hye is only good for crying scenes. nodame is a character that's very easy to get wrong. look at what happened to jandi in BOF

[pelusa]

I tried watching this and could only make it to the 2nd ep.

 

Expect another PK/TTBY etc with 4% ratings...

[Nanallena]

Mess

[nr123]

No, please don't.

It's almost certain they will butcher it.

 

 

Still Seo won't be too bad as Nodame I suppose. She is a big fan of the series and even knows how to play the piano.

[katyoun_hana]

Please no, Nodame was so beautiful i don't want them to ruin it

 

This.

Nodame is not going to be as quirky as how ueno juri nailed it.

I don't want my chiaki to be ruined

 

Though it is gonna be interesting to see how they will butcher it LOL. BOF for me was pretty meh though Playful Kiss was ok for me

But To the beautiful you was the worst... even though it was done by SM.

[nttllng]

vomits

[Си�у Пак]

Please no, Nodame was so beautiful i don't want them to ruin it

 

OMG RHYME-SAMA!!

You also like Nodame Cantabile?? WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT!!!!??

 

 

People are worried about Chiaki, but I think the one playing Nodame is the most important one.

Who in k-entertainment can play Nodame?

Answer: NONE!!

Not again...why must they do this...their remakes suck.

 

Nodame is going to be like the hardest/most important casting out of the characters in terms of matching to a Korean actor/idol...who could be Nodame...
