Granted they’re only seven years apart (he’s 26, she’s 19) but we’ve been watching her since she was a wee child in dramaland and she still has that little-sister-next-door vibe she hasn’t branched out into romantic lead territory so I don’t see her as that yet. I will think positively and hope for the best because I do love both of them individually, but right now I’m having a hard time picturing them in the Chiaki-Nodame relationship, mostly because she seems rather young. Now, to voice concerns: I’m not sure about this pairing. She isn’t decided yet, but has received the offer and is considering it. That’s great news, since she would make a fantastic Nodame character.

The female lead is not yet cast and will be absolutely crucial to making an adaptation work, but the name being offered as a contender at the moment is Shim Eun-kyung ( Miss Granny, Sunny). 175 ApOctoNodame Cantabile is a go: Joo-won in, Shim Eun-kyung a maybe by javabeansĪhhh, it’s happening! Joo-won ( Good Doctor, Gaksital) will be playing the lead character in the Korean remake of Nodame Cantabile, which had been previously suggested but only now confirmed.
