Fortunately, he exceeds my expectation with his Chiaki’s portrayal. I believe she is doing her best and will gradually improve for the upcoming episodes.įrankly, I had a good feeling about SEK but worried about Joo Won at first. Nodame is not cute but quirky, hence SEK’s need to tone down the cutesy act and bring out the real quirks. Still I found her Nodame’s portrayal is a bit too shallow and overly cute.

SEK exaggerated alot with her expression and motion, but she is endearing enough and fine with emotional scene. Meanwhile, Joo Won and SEK’s huge height gap is very apparent thus making Naeil looks like a middle-schooler beside the mature Yoo Jin. Ueno Juri is very mature and womanly in terms of appearance, the height gap between her and Tamaki Hiroshi is not huge either. She does look childish due to SEK’s youthful face and petite body. People criticized that SEK’s Sol Nae Il is very childish and dumb-looking. And to be fair, Nodame’s character is more complex than Chiaki’s and people may not notice it because Ueno Juri was playing her character very seamlessly. Personally, I think she is not that bad and she is getting better after episode 4, she just need to create her own Nodame like how Joo Won did with his character Cha Yoo Jin.

And hey who can blame her? She is talented yet very young (barely turned 20 this year), the burden may be too immense for her as she was reported having a breakdown behind the film set. I can understand why Shim Eun Kyung (SEK) denied this role at first, she was certainly afraid with all the backlashes and comparison with Ueno Juri.

She is without a doubt is a very talented actress therefore she did set the bar very high.
#GOOD DRAMA NODAME CANTABILE FULL#
Nodame Cantabile especially is full of Japanese humors and antics. Nodame character itself is very manga-ish, it’s so easy to turn her into a two dimensional character with no depth however Ueno Juri managed to create an endearing, wacky yet soulful portrayal of Noda Megumi. I guess it’s hard for Koreans to create a good remake of Japanese drama because both have different style in terms of storytelling, plot, humor and characterization. Cantabile Tomorrow is taking the route of typical Korean drama which is not really a bad thing however don’t expect to be entertained in the same way like how Nodame Cantabile did to most of us.
