Drama: Naeils's Cantabile

[heoldramaicons]

please, like or reblog if you save/use

[entirelyenigmatic17]

So I just finished rewatching the Tomorrow’s Cantabile or Naeil’s Cantabile which is the Korean drama version of the anime and manga Nodame Cantabile. 

Anyway, it’s super cute, and I love them so much. Please check it out if you can.

do not ask :^)c

[for-dramas-sake]

I have fallen for this couple despite my extreme attachment towards the originals, the love for the manga/anime, and my disappointment of the Korean remake.

I am talking about “Symphony’s Romance” which is a retelling of the Japanese drama “Nodame Cantabile” which was based on a manga of the same name. I have seen VERY FEW Japanese dramas (probably around 10, I think) compared to the mountains of Chinese and Korean dramas. “Nodame” is my FAVORITE Japanese drama and probably will remain so forever. If you’ve seen it, you understand why. If not, check it out, honestly. It’s worth it.

When there are remakes of shows or movies, we tend to compare them to the originals. That’s exactly what I did to this drama. The OG Chiaki x Nodame couple were SO FREAKING CUTE! They were funny, passionate about music and grew closer together during the hard times.

Then came the Korean remake “Tomorrow Cantabile” (2014). I tried to like it, but couldn’t even finish it. It fell flat for me (even with Joo Won!!! my fav Korean actor). There was no chemistry between the leads and the story was so jumbled and boring I couldn’t enjoy it. 

So that brings us to “Symphony’s Romance”, the Chinese remake that came out this year. I started it out of pure boredom (waiting for new eps of “Qing Qing Zi Jin” is introducing me to a TON of new dramas). And... yes, I kept saying “Ling Zhen Yan is nothing like Chiaki”...”that’s not what Nodame would do”... etc, etc. 

BUT, you know what? Sometimes you have to shed that bias for the original to appreciate something that is the same but different. So little by little, episode after episode, I shed the bias and started to like the drama. (Note: for clarity, I did a lot of skipping of some characters that I felt were unnecessary for me to know)

But what about our main couple? Main verdict: CUTE! And surprisingly, they have a healthy relationship. The FL does an adorable job and plays a keen attachment to the ML. He seemed a bit...too happy for a Chiaki (again back to the comparing), but I like him. He’s like Chiaki, but he has a different growth spurt and develops a different attachment to his love than Chiaki did. For THIS drama, they are perfect and adorable.

All of that to say: I still love “Nodame Cantabile”, but this new couple in “Symphony’s Romance” is proving to be a new like.

Kdrama asks 12, 14, and 19??

12. Messiest Plot

Meloholic-I don’t even know what to say? Don’t get me wrong there are, by far, worse dramas. But this plot was ???? And Ive watched plenty of Multi Personality dramas.

14. Character You’re Supposed To Hate But Don’t

The brother in Come and Hug Me.

Dal-Po’s brother in Pinocchio.

19. Couple That Should Have Stayed Platonic

Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food- I know this is an unpopular opinion but she wasn’t good enough for him. She wasn’t worth her nutcase mom either.

Tomorrow’s Cantabile- she WAS TOO GOOD FOR HIM. He was evil to her. Really evil to her for too long.

I appreciate you sending the asks!

#KDRAMAC: 2/5 Actors 『 Park Bo Gum 』

[unsaltedbutterandwheatbread]

Inner Duchess’ K-Dramas & K-Movies Watch-List.

I really get a never-ending K-dramas (and K-Movies too) watch-list! So here they are:

1. Naeil’s Cantabile - Tomorrow Cantabile

Plot: Yoo-Jin (Joo Won) is a university student majoring in piano. He has a world famous pianist father, exceptional music talent and attractive appearance, but his one weakness is that he can't ride in an airplane or boat due to a childhood trauma. Because of his phobia, Yoo-Jin is unable to travel to Europe to learn conducting even though he badly wants to become a conductor.

One day, Yoo-Jin gets drunk and falls asleep on the doorstep of Nae-Il (Shim Eun-Kyung). She lives next door to Yoo-Jin. The next morning, he wakes up and finds himself in a room full of trash and he sees Nae-Il. Nae-Il falls in love with him and follows him around. Nae-Il is also a piano major and takes lessons from Professor Ahn Gun-Sung (Namgung Yeon). Yoo-Jin is soon assigned to take lessons from Professor Ahn Gun-Sung as well. His arrogance has led him to take lessons from Professor Ahn Gun-Sung rather than Professor Do Gang-Jae (Lee Byung-Joon) who is renown for instructing many famous pianists. Professor Ahn Gun-Sung then assigns Yoo-Jin to perform a piano duet with Nae-Il. At first, Yoo-Jin insists that Nae-Il follows his instructions, but he soon changes and accepts her way to play the piano. 

Yoo-Jin then hears that world-famous conductor Franz Stresemann (Baek Yoon-Sik) will be coming to his university. Yoo-Jin is ecstatic, because he can learn from Franz Stresemann without going to Europe. Yoo-Jin is unaware though that Franz Stresemann dislikes his father and his famous childhood musical instructor Vieira.

Naeil’s Cantabile is a Korean Version of Japanese’s Nodame Cantabile and I am a big fan of Nodame Cantabile! Once I heard about this remake I didn’t want to watch because.. yeah you know sometimes remake isn’t as good as the original one and I was thinking about Joo-won didn’t fit the role as Shinichi Chiaki, but I thought about why I didn’t watch it first then comment it? And finally I decided to watch it and put it to my watch list :D

2. Solomon’s Perjury

Plot:  A male student's body is found at school. Authorities assume that the student killed himself in a fall. Other students at the school hold a trial to uncover the truth behind his death.

I already sneaked into its episode 1 and 2 and I think this show is one of underrated show (and the fact most viewers prefer the original one). I don’t know why but I found this show so interesting! Unfortunately, I don’t have a chance to watch the original version (and I will). I am a fan of this genre and the fact said this show’s genre you’ll find mostly in Japanese drama and movie, so without any hesitation I put this show in my watch-list! 

Anyway, Kim Hyun-soo is sooooo beautiful! :)

3. Hot Young Bloods

Plot: "Hot Young Bloods" is set within the early 1980's in Heongseong, South Korea. The movie depicts the rivalries, friendships and secret crushes held by students at a high school in Heongseong.

Young-Sook (Park Bo-Young) is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school. Although she is known for her toughness, she has a secret crush on Joong-Gil (Lee Jong-Suk). Meanwhile, Joong-Gil is the school's playboy. He attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for Young-Sook. That's because Gwang-Sik (Kim Young-Kwang), the feared leader of a rival school's male gang, views Young-Sook as his woman.

A new female transfer student (Lee Se-Young) from Seoul arrives at their high school. She's different from the other girls and beautiful. Joong-Gil falls for her instantly, while Young-Sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush. Trouble also brews for Joong-Gil as Gwang-Sik becomes aware of Young-Sook stepping in between Joong-Gil and the new transfer student.

Trust me, I’m here for Park Bo-young. Lee Jong-suk is a bonus for me XD

I found this movie from Running Man, when Park Bo-young, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young became guests there. I know I will be a big fan of Park Bo-young and I decided to watch this movie while waiting for her comeback on TV series, Strong Woman Do Bong-soon :)

4. A Werewolf Boy

Plot: A mother moves with her older daughter (Park Bo-Young) and younger daughter (Kim Hyang-Gi) to a large home in the country side. The older daughter suffers from a lung ailment and her doctor advised the family to move out into the country side. The home is provided by Ji-Tae (Yoo Yeon-Seok), the son of a business partner who worked with their deceased father.

While the family gets acclimated to their new surroundings, the older daughter makes a remarkable discovery. Within a locked room in the barn lives a wild boy (Song Joong-Ki). The family takes him in believing he is just an orphan with little social skills. The boy with little social skills begins to take an interest in the oldest daughter. Meanwhile, Ji-Tae has his own plans in marrying the oldest daughter. What's the secret behind the wild boy?

Again, please trust me I’m here for Park Bo-young! Song Joong-ki and Yoo Yeon-seok are another bonus for me! XD

I know I waaaaaay too late to watch this but I really fond of Park Bo-young nowadays! 

So those are my current watch list (while watching Goblin and Legend of The Blue Sea, oh my I’m so busy!) and I really hope to watch it all SOON! :D

The Kdrama Wrist Grab

Do you know what makes a Romantic Kdrama a Romantic Kdrama? The wrist grab.

[nn-md]

Everyone has their various escapisms to deal with the stress of residency (which is much like the stress of any very busy, stressful job) and recently I have been driven to more and more non-American ways of escaping that stress. Something about the political climate, maybe, or--the longer I watch non-American media--the way American values seep into everything. 

I’ve been reading, for example, Nodame’s Cantible (and watching the corresponding Kdrama, Tomorrow’s Cantible), which is just about talented young musicians (because I love to watch shows about people who play the piano.)  In Nodame’s Cantible, the male protagonist is a talented, arrogant young male pianist who is widely thought to be the best at piano, but who really wants to take up conducting. Throughout the course of the story, he grows as a protagonist by learning to help other people, by building up other characters to become better musicians and work together to make a whole orchestra. What American media has an emphasis on teamwork? What American media has a protagonist who gets over their individual sense of talent and gets ahead by bringing other people together and making them stronger? Maybe I’m just tired of the individualist, being-right-and-proving-it-to-everyone narrative, but the concept of becoming better by improving your community seems decidedly un-American to me.
