LITERALLY my favourite manga, anime and drama of all time. Please please please be good.

\(´▽`)/
Shim Eun Kyung!!!
Joo Won!!

I wasn't excited for this because Juri was just perfect as Nodame. But with Shim Eun Kyung possibly joining? YES, PLEASE DRAMA GODS! She is perfect for crazy cute funny Nodame. :)

Not sure about Joowon though. He's a good actor and Chiaki IS a "serious" character, but the show was a bit slapstick so he'll still have to do those funny manga expressions...

Or not. Maybe that's gonna be toned down for the Korean version? But what will they replace it with? A birth secret? Lots of drinking? Noraebang?

Yessss please XD
What I wouldn't do to see Shim Eun Kyung in a drama

I watched My Paparotti yesterday and i thought that Lee Je Hoon would have been perfect with jung yumi for the remake...but i guess they are maybe too old.

Joo Won in a tux. YESSSSSSSS

She is same age as meTT Oppa,can I work with you and kiss you too?

If they make Nodame a poor hard-working heroine full of noble idiocy and turn Chiaki into typical cold rich genius... we will need to have a serious talk.
I'm afraid that these characters do have a bit of these features (rich vs poor, childhood traumas, etc), but Japanese drama somehow evaded a cliche- like way. I hope hope hope K drama won't go to its typical way. Don't mess with my drama :/.

What's the Korean title? Not yet announced?

I really hope this turn out well :) so excited!
I love Nodame Cantabile!

Eun-Kyung-ah save yourself from this mess! Stick to movies. Also, you deserve better leading man than Joo Won...

I'm glad about the female lead. unfortunately the Japanese Nodame Contabile is instilled so deep inside me that I'm pretty sure I'll not be satisfied with the Korean version. so i'm probably gonna skip this one. man! now that i think about it I've watched that like 10x. Off to see it again!

I have faith in Joo Won. I'm going to think that L7CS was his training for future rom coms. Manga expressions? He can do that. He did alot of that in L7CS. I'm wary of the female leads. I really hope that SEK will accept the role.

Please drama gods.... let this be good..........

I believe Joowon will do fantastic job this time (again) and this time with Shim Eunkyung (maybe) in makes me excited. I only have seen her in Sunny, yes she looks young but sometimes she looks older so I think she will be potential good pairing with Joowon. Btw who's director and scriptwriter?

imo.. must wait and see what the production team plan to make its own version of nodame... just do.not.ruin.it.
I love nodame dorama and the movie. They are the best!! haha..

7Grader drama is a mess. It was good till the 4th episodes but after than.. Er never want to think about it anymore

This one is interesting. I hope IU can be the lead here but Shim Eun Kyung is not bad either but I cant see him romancing her... No no no. But if they want to change the storyline, a cold sunbae and a playful hoebae, I'm okay with Shim Eun Kyung.

Here for Eun Kyung but I have no faith in Joo Wan in a comedic role as Chiaki...sorry kiddo

Okay, part of me is super happy about the news, but I have to admit there is a part of me that really doesn't want to see them mess with such a masterpiece. The Japanese version was perfect, and I am having a difficult time picturing someone else play the parts of Nodame and Chiaki and all of their quirky friends.

I am staying open-minded at this point and waiting to see what other casting news comes out.

Please casting director and all others involved in the casting decisions, please choose well...please.

Joo-Won in a proper comedy. YES. The last dramas I watched starring Joo-Won were Gaksital (awesome but not funny at all), Level 7 Civil Servant (let's not talk about his one, felt like I lost 16 hours of my life watching it) and Good Doctor (not bad but not funny).

Although I don't know Shim Eun-Kyung, I like her face, there seems to be a Nodame feel in her hahaha.
Well, I saw her in Running Man but wait... she's too short! Physically speaking, it will be funny to see Joo Won and Shim Eun-Kyung walking next to each other HAHAHA.

I am expecting a lot from this one, they'd better do a good job (Nodame's my baaaby)!

Yay for JW confirming...it'll be good to see him back to form in a drama again! :)

Although I've never seen the original (but I've heard great things about it)...I would definitely like this pairing. JW does well in nearly everything he does (of course, the drama-that-shall-not-be-named still haunts me...lol) and I like SEK. I was surprised by her age, but probably because it feels like she's been acting forever ;) If the character is supposed to be oddball quirky as described here...I think she could pull that off to a tee.

is shim eun-kyung still studying in the states? wasn't she going to a middle/high school in pittsburgh? i'm guessing if she still is, she's probably making her movies during summer holidays, but i was curious since i don't seem to have heard anything about it after the initial announcement...

I think that joowon should stay awayyyyyyyyy from rom-coms because i feel like hes better at dramatic roles ( still traumatized from civil servant and only you..) but this role sounds good since the character is not cheesy.
Oh men, i like the girl but this pairing is a bit odd.
I feel like park bo young or han hyo joo might be another good choice in term of pairing! LoL

Argh!! Joo-won as Chiaki-senpai!!!! Totally YES!!
Um.. Can we move the order so that this would be next to Big Man? Coz I can't wait!!

Omi.... Joo Won back to dramaland. Yes, please.

In Level 7 CS, the female lead was like her aunty than a lover. And this one the potential female lead is like his younger sister.

SEK is natural born actress, love her in the movie Sunny and KBS drama Women of the Sun. But her and Joo Won.. I just cant imagine it, she look too young besides Joo Won.

Please let it be IU. I cant seems to choose any orther names...

I also think that adaption from the Jdrama is a good move, but to make a Kdrama BASED on the J-manga, probably to change a bit the storylines.

Hopefully Group8, the company producing this drama can learn from their mistakes from the flop adaption before this, Pretty Man!!!

It will be such a waste for Joo Won and SEK's talent.

I can't believe this is happening. I guess Chinese version in the process of making too? lol..

OH MAI GAAAZ!!! As much as I love Joo Won, I am dreading this remake because Nodame was perfect. And I don't want no tarnish on my fave J-Doramas! U_U

But that being said, I will still probably watch it. Anxiously.

I am totally ecstatic. I mean, Nodame is one of the best anime, manga and drama ever made, so if they remain true to the manga and don't screw it up, it's gonna be hilarious. I'd love to see a Korean drama remake. I've been thinking about it ever since I first heard the news here.

I'm fairly new to the drama land, so I've no opinions. I'd simply trust what you all say!

But this drama can be perfect if they execute it well~

YAY! Joo-won~ <3

Aw man...I am not a Joo-won fan. What a bummer.

glad joo won returned to dramaland. I honestly cannot understand how he could chose Only you and Fashion king but not C'est Si Bon.
shim eun-kyung,mmm, I know they're only 7 yrs apart but Choi daniel and IU are only 7yrs apart too... I just can't picture them in a romantic relationship.

Hmmm... I love Joo Won but at first I couldn't picture him as Chiaki. Then I remembered his role in Ojakgyo Brothers. If he will play this one in the similar way, I think it will be ok.

Joo Won is back. Yessssss.

I watch all his drama with KBS, from his debut drama, Baker King to my favorites Ojakgyo Brothers and Gaksitaaaaal. MBC drama L7CS is the least favorite one, I just dont enjoy the drama, starting from the female lead to the the supportings to its crazy storyline. Huh.

I like both Joo Won and Shim Eun Kyung but I dont really the idea of the two of them in a drama as lover, she look really young and yes not to forget the height differences of the tall and sturdy Joo Won and petite SEK.

If they change storyline, no romantic interest between the two than it will be fine.

Can we have IU, other than her I don't see anyone for the quirky heroine. Seriously no Noona, the role suitable for someone younger.

Shim Eun-kyung is just 19? She looks older. I actually thought of her first when I read about the Korean remake of Nodame. She looks a bit like Ueno Juri, in my opinion. Ueno Juri is prettier but there is a resemblance.

but but... Joo Ji Ho would be perfect chiaki!!!! My dreams :(

I'll onlybe here for Shim Eunkyung. Sorry, Joo Won bb, but Shim Eunkyung is amazing.

Aww, I've been hearing a lot of rave reviews about Shim Eun-kyung, but I will have to skip this one. I can't stand Joo-won's "great" acting.

Yayyyyyy! I trust that Joo Won can perform a wonderful rendition of Chiaki. If this thing has to be made then I'm glad it will be in the hands of good actors. Shim Eun-Kyung is a great actress and I can picture her as Nodame. Now, drama, please don't muck things up.

I'm torn. I don't really want Shim Eun Kyung to take the offer if this show is going to be a mess (it all depends on the script) but she's actually perfect for the role and a fantastic actress imo. It would be great to see her on tv, but in a Group 8 production... yikes. I'm not sure.
