I haven't watched a drama as funny as this! I was laughing all the way, even in the last episode. Production money was really worth it, a high-rate use of angles and a fresh cast makes this drama the best of its year!! |

AMAZING. the funniest drama ever. I love ueno juri, tamaki hiroshi, and eita, and keida kosuke(?) (guy who plays masami) . such good performances. I feel like watching this show again cause i just laughed so hard the first time through. |

Its a feel good drama from beginning to end.I loved this jdorama.Hiroshi Tamaki is my man. I even bought the manga and the dvd. I can watch it over and over again. Juri Ueno is a darling, she captured the character of Nodame to perfection. Its super crack and the classical music just flows.Great storyline and I can't wait for Part 2. |
| 13. | Comments by soupychan [Rating: 7/10]
Very exaggerated style, but the music was great and the show was enjoyable. |

juri is superb, cant imagine any one else taking this role... love her because of this dorama... a must watch! |
| 22. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 10/10]
The gem of the season!
Having read of course the manga first (and still reading), I was more than overjoyed hearing there would be a drama, especially starring Tamaki Hiroshi whom I`ve been following since WaterBoys the movie.
While the manga is excellent, it is hard to write a manga about music... without music. The drama gave me exactly what I wanted. Excellent music, the goofiness of the manga and a very well balanced cast!
Laughter from beginning `til end, this series is bound to become one of your favorites! ^^ |
| 23. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: ?/10]
I am currently watching this, but I can easily say this is going to be one of my favorites. ^_^ |
| 24. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 10/10]

just finished it and my o my had this drama got me hooked!!! i even miss waiting for it every week now... ;_; everything about this drama spells SUPERB ENTERTAINMENT! it's just too fun... absolutely love it! |
| 25. | Comments by atheon [Rating: 9/10]
Jan 2007: This is one of the few dramas that made me cracked up like hell almost every episode. The most hilarious jdrama I've seen this year. Gotta love classical music after watching it, thumbs up for the actors for putting alot of effort to make the instrument playing scenes looked as real as possible. Nodame and Chiaki were such a CUTE couple =D Love the cast, Stressmann's weird accent rocks lol. The ending scene was touching, typical but fits perfectly to end this drama. |
| 26. | Comments by Hemilya [Rating: 9/10]
I didn't like the specific humour of this dorama, but later on I totally fall in love with Tamaki Hiroshi and his acting. And - I should admit it - Ueno Juri was great in this show. Her comical image at the same time has deep meaning, and because of her the perfect-ness of Tamaki's character is brought out on the surface. |
| 27. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 8/10]
From all the dorama i've seen, this one is the most anime-like to date. the actions are sometimes exaggerated nicely but i definitely well-adapted for tv. As the dorama progresses, i found myself getting drawn into the series as i developed an attachment to the characters. As a music-lover, their choices for the difference pieces throughout the series were well-picked and suited both series and character development. A most entertaining series, bravo!! |

Didn't expect much at first, but I guess I was wrong. |

This is a drama worth to watching, funny, interesting. The casts did a really good job. |
| 30. | Comments by Susan [Rating: 10/10]
FANTASTIC! Best drama of 2006 that I have seen so far. Tamaki Hiroshi really surprised me! He completely threw himself into the role of Chiaki. Ueno Juri as Nodame as well! Although some elements of the story had to be left out due to time (Awwh, why can't dramas be longer sometimes), I felt like the adaptation was expertly achieved. Everyone involved dud an amazing job reproducing what makes Nodame Cantabile really shine in anime and manga. I'm excited for the future! I hope that, following the Paris Special, they continue in some form! |

It's quite hard to put my love for this into words <3<3<3
I love so many things about this drama. It already had a great story thanks to Ninomiya sensei's manga. The cast selection is fantastic. It's a wonderful transformation from the manga to the screen. |
| 36. | Comments by ilovetakuya [Rating: 8/10]
It's funny..:) The characters are lovable and all the music in this drama is nice. It's not as good as the original manga though. |

Love this. funniest ever. |

super high quality for the new era of jdorama |
| 39. | Comments by AjiKan [Rating: 10/10]
Great actors and great story and great music. This drama captivates even those who don't have a taste for classical music. The characters are all interesting and keep you wanting to learn more about them. I give it a 10, it doesn't deserve any less. Nodame is love =] |
| 40. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 10/10]
Wonderful and so funny. Beautiful classical music! They were born to each other~ne! |
| 41. | Comments by idetakun [Rating: 7/10]
A good comedy even without popular casts~
Chiaki sama is cool and funny><
Nodame is such a lucky girl to live at the next door of this hearthrob~
Hoping the ending is not a dissapointing one |

will review when series is done.. i like it so far ;D |
| 43. | Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: 9/10]
If i could give it a 9.5/10 I would.
It was a good enjoyable drama with good humor and good music. Cast was good, but at a point, it was sorta slow....maybe feels this way for me because I was watching eps 4-finale w/o subs. Will rewatch it when subs comes out and see how if i'll up my rating for this to a 10 |
| 44. | Comments by Blood_Berry [Rating: 10/10]
i've just seen the first 2 episodes so i cant say much... though i freakin' laughed till my sides hurt XDDD
Edit:
Dekimashita yo!!! o(^O^)o and i gave it a 10! Haha! One of the best dramas i've seen for quite some time. |

Makes me want to restart my piano again. Who knew a drama about classical music could be so hot-blooded and fervent? |
| 48. | Comments by lesamouraifou [Rating: 9/10]
not bad at all. I learnead one or two things about classical music. Actors play kinda well. Ueno Juri playing a mad person is really good.
nothing bad about it, but the beginning (2 first episodes) are kinda boring. |
| 49. | Comments by Amika [Rating: 8/10]
nice story to bring people into classical music. Although i'm not a big fan of classical music but the story is interesting enough for me to finish it. And it certainly have it's funny scenes. |

Seen episode 1, it was very funny. This could very well be the best if not one of the best drama this season. Purly entertaining. |
| 53. | Comments by 8thSin [Rating: 9/10]
Funniest series ever! |
| 54. | Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 9/10]
Une serie vraiment tres agreable a regarder. Des personnages nombreux et sympathiques, des moments droles (pas mal de mimiques tirees du manga ET bien adaptees), une musique geniale (ah, le classique...). Et bien sur Nodame chan ! l'actrice est incroyable et illumine tout (meme si elle n'est pas tres belle).
Dommage que certaines scenes un peu nian nian (dont le dernier episode dans sa quasi totalite) gachent l'impression generale. On sent aussi un certain essouflement a la fin, il etait temps que ca s'arrete. |
| 55. | Comments by xyz [Rating: 10/10]
The best drama. Perfect cast, great acting and plot, beautiful music, and more. The whole composition is solid. |

One of the most entertaining series of 2006. Ueno Juri plays the role of Noda Megumi, a carefree brilliant pianist who has a love for an anime series and eating. One day she meets the most coveted boy in their music school and instantly falls head over heels for him. He can't say the same about her, but is impressed with her piano playing. Tamaki Hiroshi plays the part of Chiaki Shinishi, Megumi's love interest and one of the wealthiest and most talented people in school. His dream is to become a conductor and to do so he must study abroad, however he has a fear of planes and boats seeing as he had traumatic experiences with both as a child.
Those two meet and their lives change and intertwine with one another. With the help of Streseman who enrolls into the school as a conductor, the musical careers and outlooks of the students there change for the better. The students reach for goals higher than they could have imagined before because their fellow teachers and friends continue to push them to do better than what they initially thought they could accomplish. It was very touching and optimistic, yet down to earth.
This drama was so much fun to watch and I loved the two main characters who had great chemistry with one another. This is one of the most adorable and most memorable coupling in a drama in awhile. The music was beautiful, too. I really hope that they decide to continue with a second season. |
| 63. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 6/10]
i watched it for the sake of Tamaki-chan...otherwise..i rate it as yet another...typical manga-adapted drama...Yuri-chang on the othr hand...is choo kawaaii...hope to see her in more dramas to come.. |
| 64. | Comments by citrusrain [Rating: 9/10]
Great drama. it makes you fall in love with Tamaki Hiroshi And great music --I mean it!! I usually don't really like classical music but it was still fun to watch |
| 65. | Comments by onigiriman [Rating: 10/10]
The final episode was a bit lacking, as if they didn't know how to resolve the relationship between Chiaki and Nodame, especially since they go to Paris together in the comic book. But still this is one of the best dramas I have seen in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Episode 4 is classic! |
| 66. | Comments by RumoZamonien [Rating: 9/10]
There's a few dramas that you cannot miss, and this one's one of them. The manga is also hilarious. It's something different, for once. |
| 67. | Comments by lightningemperor [Rating: 9/10]
I would have to say that I wasn't expecting a lot from this series but wow, I'm glad that I was completely wrong! Excellent acting from all the cast. I haven't been so immersed in a series for a while that I would have to lose sleep just in order to watch it. The mix between love, comedy and music is the way to go. And Takenaka Naoto's role as Strezman...PERFECT. Absolutely hilarious! I definitely recommend this series and definitely hoping for a special or a 2nd season(maybe). |
| 68. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 10/10]

I love this series!! It's madness!! Not to mention that I'm also hooked with the manga (and currently watching the anime version)! The characters are all lovable and a great potrayal as close as the manga by far, even their clothes and accessories are the same as the manga! |
| 71. | Comments by ffrostte [Rating: 10/10]
Wonderful drama. Hilarious yet elegant at times!! Highly recommend this one! |
| 72. | Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 8/10]
at first i didn't think i'd like this one. and ya know, there were certain aspects that are definitely a little cheesy. but this drama is a good one, especially if you have the experience of ever playing an instrument!! Plus, who could not love such a unique character as Nodame. (and not to mention the hottness of chiaki senpai!!!) |
| 73. | Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 10/10]
If I had realised how much I was gonna enjoy this dorama I would have put it in my DVD player the second I got it. In fact I had this several days before I actually put it on and once I started watching it I was hooked!
I'm so glad I brought this on a whim, it is extremely funny and I just LOVE how the relationship develops between Nodame and Chiaki. It's really heart warming. There were moments that really made me 'squee'
Anyway a darned good show very funny and cute and Tamaki is so handsome <3 ^__^ |
| 74. | Comments by NuOy [Rating: 10/10]

Excellent drama with some great classical music. You have to watch this drama with a good stereo/surround system or else you're cheating yourself from the emotional impact of the music... Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi are cast perfectly as the likable, quirky leads, with fine performance from the supporting cast... And this drama doesn't lose anything from repeated multiple viewings... It's that good. Highly, highly recommended viewing. :) |
| 76. | Comments by kou [Rating: 9/10]
oh man.. i realli luv tis drama. it is definately better than the anime due to the exaggerated yet hilarously portray of the main chars n the supporting chars. Tamaki hiroshi as E perfectionist chiaki n Juri ueno as E happy-go-lucky talented pianist brought humour with their splendid acting, tis drama is worth catching. in addition, the rest of e supporting chars eg.Maestro, Masumi and Ryutaro r just as hilarous n convincing. |
| 77. | Comments by >anca< [Rating: 10/10]

i rili like the main characters.. all the characters!
must watch! |
| 78. | Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 9/10]
Very enjoyable drama, that is definitely one thing people can say about this drama. It's also good to see this drama stem away from the university love story type dramas and in that sense it creates its own genre. I really loved it - the leads were perfect, and they were backed with a very strong support headed by eita (who is getting better and better as an actor himself). I havent read the manga, but even so its obvious that this drama pays it respects to the manga very closely as the characters are portrayed as almost comic or cartoon-like. Very watchable and memorable! |

One of my favorite drama! Must watch it again!! |
| 88. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 10/10]
Possibly the cutest drama i've ever seen. I first saw ueno juri in Engine and I thought she was really good. Here she just amazes me...the way she talks, the way she acts around chiaki, gosh i can't think of anyone perfect for the role. Tamaki Hiroshi is great too and i love how he can pull of being kakkoi and completely silly at the same time. (not to mention he is HOT). The pace of the drama was very good...it was funny without being slapstick and dramatic as well without being cheesy. In normal situation, I would be appalled by how Chiaki physically abuses Nodame (come on those punches?!?!), but the scenes were choreographed so comically that I had to laugh all the times. I can go on and on, but in short, LOVE IT! |
| 89. | Comments by agp_frick [Rating: ?/10]
Amazing drama...! Although... I don't really like the ending... I really hope there'll be a sequel... (Is it?) |
| 90. | Comments by PaperCaged [Rating: 9/10]
I don't know much about music, but Nodame Cantabile was still a lot of fun to watch and some of the concert scenes were very beautiful. I'm glad they made a live action drama for it, because when I tried reading the manga I couldn't picture the music in my head. Nodame and Chiaki were both really unique characters and the cast was great. |
| 91. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10]
Amazing dorama. So comical and hilarious. I'm not fond of classical music, but watching this dorama, I could enjoy Beethoven, Gerschwin, Brahmms, Chopin, etc. Ueno Juri, Tamaki Hiroshi, Eita, are wonderful. Worth to watch dorama. |

After watching this show, Tamaki is no longer that guy from Remote and Ueno is no longer that miyuki that i hated to the core. Hoho... Funny plot that made me laughed from episode one through the end. Great supporting actors that the show cannot do without. Most importantly it is about music. =) |
| 107. | Comments by Char350 [Rating: 10/10]
GYABO!!! Excellent adaptation of the manga; heck it's even better than the anime version. The cast was awesome and their musical performances were really moving and overflowing with emotion. You can really feel the emotion from each player because of both the actors the directing. This is probably the best manga-to-live action adapation I've seen in a long time. And one more thing.... MONGOOSE FOR THE WIN!! XD XD XD |
| 108. | Comments by megumi s. [Rating: 9/10]
I usually don't give dramas a score above a 7 or 8 unless it was really addicting. although at first it seems like a typical slap-stick comedy, it was really good and touching. couldn't stop watching. i especially loved how i could relate, as i played piano and violin in orchestra. recommended! |

For lovers of J-drama & classical music this one's indeed a must see. It's very entertaining & has an interesting cast who all do a great job in making their musical skills look credible. Maybe I think that the power of music a bit covers up for the lack of a truly great storyline because it is the music that makes this drama rise high above average. Recommended 9- |

this drama left me speechless! it was so sweet and full of great passion for music, all the while being absolutely hillarious at the same time. Chiaki & Nodame are so adorable together. chuuu~! and! this is probably the first drama that i actually liked Eita in. that monkey boy did good this time. |
| 116. | Comments by kawaii_blue [Rating: 10/10]
The best drama for 2006!! very funny though exaggerated. :p Tamaki-sama should have won the Best Actor award. His performance as a conductor was full with feelings and quite real...
Chiaki-sama suki desu yo~!! *o* |

Definitely the BEST dorama I've ever watched!!!
LOVE everything about it! The casts are GREAT, good music too. Love Tamaki Hiroshi and Ueno Juri in this dorama: they act well and look great together..
Furthermore, it's very comical! It's as if you read the manga yourself. Just as funny! |
| 122. | Comments by Anime Dad [Rating: 9/10]
Unfortunately i'm not as good as Wyn-chan at reviewing dramas, so i'll just say that it lives up to all the hype - and more. Juri Ueno IS brilliant, and although I found the Stresemann character irritating at first, in the end I didn't mind him at all. Takenaka Naoto has an impressive voice at least. Tamaki Hiroshi was great as the uptight Chiaki-senpai, and the rest of cast are uniformly excellent.
Nodame Cantabile should be on everyone's must-watch list. |
| 123. | Comments by jia_hui [Rating: 10/10]

I finally watched and surprisingly enjoyed it. I went beyond the anime acting and saw the beautiful story. I was also surprised that Tamaki can be a romantic lead. =) |

Definitely entertaining. However, to look at it critically, the editing's not superb, especially not for the performances considering that most of the conducting's off beat. Acting's not that great either, though granted it's pretty difficult to flaunt one's acting skills in here. Enjoyable nonetheless, and relatively addictive. Many have done a wonderful job pretending to play the instruments and, of course, fantastic soundtrack. |

I was bored, bored, really bored with this drama. I saw nothing admirable with this one. Music did not impressed me at all. |

Very hilarious with a good plot!!! Very weird characters, haha If you think classical music is boring, before saying that try watching this dorama because you may change your opinion!!! |

Of all the dramas I've seen, Nodame Cantabile holds a special place in my heart. With its unique charm, I was hooked with the first episode. Everything about it was comical but also well-balanced with a healthy dose of gravity, which doesn't define the series as wholly comedic. The special effects were a pleasure to watch. As an adaptation from the manga, I was pleased to see that there was an animated quality of the series without looking too fake.
Although I do question the authenticity of conducting, the acting was well-executed. I adored Ueno Juri's Nodame and Tamaki Hiroshi's Chiaki. The entire cast got along well, and it was apparent near the end. All the actors looked as if they would cry together on set. This series will remain as my top recommendation to those who are just getting into Japanese dramas. Gyabo! |

I used to play Piano myself so I really liked this show, the cast and I mean entire cast did great in Nodame. I can recommend this show to anyone, even if you're not into classical music. |
| 134. | Comments by zhirong [Rating: 10/10]
This is a really really realllllly nice drama. I watched it over and over and can still laugh at it. Ueno Juri really acted well as Nodame. Her silly actions and comical acts are all done well. And I've sorta grown to Stresemann accent in the series. The introductions of classical music is another nice point of this drama. It got me pretty interested in classical music. |
| 135. | Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 8/10]
Up to ep.8 so far. I didn't like the manga much but I'm really enjoying this! I think the actors do a good job and the annoying ones don't get TOO annoying. I love the classical music they play. |

The only thing that holds me back from giving it a 10 is......... the show has to end. |
| 138. | Comments by Wu Xueli [Rating: 10/10]
My current favourite! Hilarious! Liked the manga but really loved the drama if only for Tamaki Hiroshi and Ueno Juri, who are simply perfect as the ultimate mismatched couple! All that classical music was wonderful too. Truly a heady, perfect mix of comedy, romance and music! Intoxicating... |
| 139. | Comments by aiamano [Rating: 9/10]
Funny jokes, interesting plot, awesome music. If you connect with its dynamics you will enjoy a lot... and will want a Nodame (or Chiaki) for yourself... ^^ |
| 140. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 5/10]
I surprised myself and couldn't finish this drama...I like Ueno Juri and have watched her movies and tv dramas in the past...but this series had too many annoying supporting cast members for me to enjoy and continue watching....I guess to me the acting was way over the top and was way too silly..... |
| 141. | Comments by Nibelheim [Rating: 7/10]
I really got hooked from the first episode though, but from then on.. it just wasn't what I had expected. I thought the show was alright overall; maybe a bit too silly for me. |

Chiaki-senpai! Very funny and amusing. Laughed and cried with this drama. Highly recommended, very nice light-hearted comedy. And I'm glad this drama wasn't loaded with a bunch of JE actors (though I have nothing against them). |

too amazed to even say anything...lol |
| 149. | Comments by Jackykero [Rating: 8/10]
I liked this one for 3 reasons. First, the totally-crazy-Manga-like scenes, especially in the beginning. Then, the music all along the Dorama, particularly the big concerts. And finally, because it was what I qualify as a "good" dorama, which has a balance of everything: laughter, emotion, surprises, interesting characters, action, etc. I almost dropped off at the second episode, I was getting tired of the jokes - maybe there were too many of those - but then I am glad that I kept going because the jokes stop a little bit and as the story becomes more serious it becomes more interesting. So, stick to it at least until episode 4 or 5 is my advice. |

Great characters! Over the top humor... it's like a real live action anime. Tamaki Hiroshi who plays Chiaki does a great job. Ueno Juri who plays Nodame is cute, funny and crazy weird!
Eita who plays Mine stands out too!
Loved the music too!
I'm starting to like most of the dramas that are adaption from manga or animes...
I'm going to look into some of Tamaki Hiroshi other dramas too.

Haven't watched such an entertaining dorama like this one for so long. Ueno Juri gave an excellent performance as well asTamaki i'm-not-sure-what's-his-1st-name-is. It's great to see Ueno-san potray an anime character that is also realistic at the same time. She really did surpass my expectations because I have really only seen her in more sombre roles before (Orange Days, Kindaichi 2005 & Swing Girls). And Tamaki-san showed that he can inject humour and emotion into his usual cool-kakkoii facade. Oh, I must not forget to mention the rest of the cast gave a kampeki performance too, especially Eita, and the Myoja timpani player.
Highly recommended to everyone who enjoys a good laugh. Not for those looking for serious love relationship dramas. |

I actually liked the anime version of the ending a little bit better (I was watching both the live version and anime at the same time - the endings are essentially the same, but in a different order). But the characters really played it well and was a fun watch! I am looking forward to the SP of this in the spring too! |

Funny!!!!!! ;D
This is excellent drama! Good actris, good actor, good Script writer
did you know...
Before I watched this dorama, I like music classic enough, but after I watched this dorama I coldn't stop to watched it again and again and I bought a lot of classical music and of course until now I always hear classical music.I feel my home is full of bright sounds of violin, piano, oboe, flute, timpani, cello, contabass, etc.
Love...love Nodame...
I'm waiting for 2nd season....

| 190. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 9/10]
This is definitiv not a "mediocrity" drama! It's an "unbelievably" classical music drama ! ;) One extra point for this great soundtrack and the great performance of ueno juri!!! the two special episodes are also very good. |
| 191. | Comments by abbyneesan [Rating: 10/10]
A really awesome drama!! Kinda ashamed to admit it, but I was hesitant on watching it because Tamaki Hiroshi was a bit old in my opinion (even though he isnt!!!! Im just an insane psycho freak sometimes) but his character turned out to be one of my favorites. Ueno Juri was great too but Eita really stole the show in my opinion. He's such a cool guy and his hair was awesome!! All the characters contributed so much to the show and they all shined even though there were a ton of people in the cast.
And of course, the soundtrack was absolutely amazing; why wouldn't it be when the show features such well-known classicals? I enjoyed the orchestra performances immensely and I like how the actors were playing the instruments themselves (or were they? Lol they looked like they were so ya xD). Now I really wish I hadnt given up on piano!
Anyways Nodame Cantabile is an awesome drama that I won't be forgetting anytime soon...it has now joined Nobuta wo Produce, 1 Litre of Tears and Hana Kimi in my list of all-time fave dramas! |
| 192. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 7/10]
Technically good drama with well performing actors, good use of the classical music and well used effects. But the storyline is a bit wishy-washy, it lacks constant elements. Starting from episode 7, the personality of Nodame pissed me off. The end was somehow not satisfying. Although this one didn't get me emotionally involved, I got this "have to continue" feeling after some episodes. |

| 196. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 8/10]
Overall a good dorama.... Splendid casting... a nice plot and scenes that made me laugh my head out!!! But yes.. i must agree with those who say that Nodame Cantabile is a lil bit overrated..
I mean... its a good dorama (at least imo) but there r many other better than this.
IMO the major problem in Nodame is the ridiculous number of characters in the story (and its not like they appear just one episode and disappear.. they continue appearing on the dorama as the show goes on...) I found a lil hard to pay attention for the main couple, the two teachers, the maestro, the S-oke's members, the R-S member's, Chiakis's ex-girlfriend, the school director, Nodame's friends, the gay violinist, Mine's father, the reporter and his assistent... Damn... do they really need that many characters??? |

This series made me realize things about classical music and orchestras and stuff. That it's actually beautiful music. Although I got bored at times watching this, I can still say that I enjoyed this in the end. Maybe it's not a must-watch, but it's worth watching anyway. It's not a waste of time. Great music, excellent acting, interesting plot, funny and serious... This series barely lacks anything. I was touched in the last scene. It should be hard to film this kind of series, about classical music.. but it all went so good and looked very real.
This series actually reminded me of 'Hana Kimi'.. It has many resembles, but they are both excellent in their own ways. Watch ^_^. |

One of the best dramas ever! All the characters suit the manga characters. The theme of the drama is unique and interesting, with a lot of classical music as background, it is an added bonus! Plus, there are many funny elements in the story and all the leads and supporting leads did a great job in this drama. Thumbs up! |

This is one of those live-action series which is definitely a must see. You will definitely love the tandem of Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi. Ueno is very funny and lovable as Nodame. As for Chiaki, it’s been a while since I’ve watched Tamaki in a comedy, or should I say, done a comedy since “Waterboys: The Movie” but he’s still as funny as ever. Added laughs from Eita & Kaede Kosuke (both from Waterboys Season 1&2 respectively). And you will definitely be mesmerized by the musical pieces that they feature every episode. |

My most favorite drama. So funny and great acting.
I can't help falling in love with Nodame and Chiaki.
I believe nobody can play the role Nodame as great as Juri Ueno.
And Tamaki Hiroshi is sooooo handsome and cool as Chiaki.
The classical music pieces in this drama are very well chosen. They are all my favorites.
I would give this drama 100/10. |

9.) The ninth Dorama. Also a very funny one! xD |
| 220. | Comments by tetsukei [Rating: 9/10]
Another anime/manga-styled drama. The actors go all out to give the comic touch, and the classical music is, needless to say, totally entertaining. I was running to my piano, just like Nodame, after the first five episodes. Presents very real issues that musicians face in their everyday lives e.g. work prospects, dwindling enthusiasm, angst from self-criticism and tough competition etc. Thumbs up (if you can keep your thumbs up while laughing)! |

Greater than the sum of its parts. The story is well design and neatly packaged. The characters are so endearing and special. Good introduction to classical music if you've never been a fan (you'll certainly fall in love with some of the music). Great soundtrack (not surprising).
Ueno Juri at her best! Nodame is sooo sweet and cute. It's hard not to fall for her. There are times where some of her emotional responsed feel a little overdone. She's brilliant when she gets pissed at Chiaki and lays the Nodame-smack down. Gyabo!
Tamaki Hiroshi is great in this as the (mostly) unflappable Chiaki. He's very well done and emotionally balanced. His mannerisms are graceful and his facial responses are superb. Even though I'm a bigger Juri fan, I really think he made this drama.
Almost all of the other characters are at least pretty good. Such a varied ensemble. Mine and Kiyora (why didn't we see 10x more of her!!!) deserve special mention for being vulnerable and arrogant, both.
Special mention to Mine's dad - he's a hero of mine :) |

This is a very excellent series. I think each actor performs wonderfully, as each character is very vibrant and there is chemistry between all the right people. This is one of those series that not only made me laugh so hard I was nearly rolling on the floor but it also very nearly brought me to tears at times. It has a wonderful plot and great characters, I cannot recommend it enough. |

okay I don't get the hype... maybe manga adaptations are not meant for me but this was unbearable to watch |

Absolutely fantastic dorama! A must see! All the characters are awesome, the music simply makes you fall in love with it, the story's great and it all is incredibly funny and enjoyable! |

funny.. ;D n make me so excited to see the oke performance conducted by Chiaki sama... ;) |
| 248. | Comments by joykimlee [Rating: 10/10]
All-time fav jdorama. |
| 249. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 8/10]
Classic goes cool: great actors, funny over-the-top characters and an eye for details (probably due to the generous budget). Eita is wonderful as Mine and Ueno Juri IS Nodame. Nice use of CGI to give it a little anime touch. |

This is another drama that i really like. With great cast as well except for the mushroom headed guy who acted in liar game.....can't stand him....he's so annoying. The performances are really nice especially the very first one by S-oke and i wonder who tot of the idea of them doing some action while playing XD.......well,japanese people ARE creative aren't they XD.One of my fav songs from the drama is symphony no.7......so nice......even on the piano when nodame played. Oh oh! I really really really love the cello dude in rising sun!!! The specky playboy called......MUKAI OSAMU!!!! He's so tall and super cute with glasses ^^. I've never exactly seen him acting before.....but i do hope he gets a major role one day :). |

Extremely enjoyable drama. I love the subtlety and pacing of it! |
| 253. | Comments by kewell [Rating: 10/10]
This must be one of the funniest dramas I have watched. Takenaka Naoto as Franz Stresemann is great and Ueno Juri is genious as Nodame. I can understand why she got awards for this. Thumbs up, Great drama. A must watch for all Jdrama fans! |
| 254. | Comments by xerith [Rating: 8/10]
Not bad, but overrated. Nodame was really cute though. |
| 255. | Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 10/10]
Ueno Juri's acting is beyond "awesome" I would say. Shes too cute! This drama was very well written, tempo was great, all the characters are likeable, and everything just seems to go very well together. I LOVE this drama! |
| 256. | Comments by deseipher [Rating: 10/10]
At first glance, Nodame Cantabile comes across as over-the-top, quirky, even badly acted at times, but once you realize that the series doesn't take itself seriously it really becomes enjoyable. Great acting by Ueno Juri as Nodame, while Tamaki Hiroshi holds his own as the maestro in training Chiaki Shinichi. The great classical music pieces also help to move the story along and is never once a chore to listen to. |
| 257. | Comments by Filah Mohidin [Rating: 10/10]
tamaki is sooo hot and gorgeous!!first dorama i watched he acts in remote control which he became the 2nd hero,but i didn't expect he was soo great acting in nodame cantabile..he's such a nice,adorable and wonderful actor..i like him conducting the orchestra,playing piano and violin...seems he is so talented in musical instruments!not to forget juri ueno,she is sooo kawaiiii...even though she acts like a lazy ham but she's doing really well in playing her roles!!love them to be together for the next new doramasa,perhaps!!(^_^) |
| 258. | Comments by Amano_Tsukiko [Rating: 8/10]
Hilarious. This is the jdorama that made me laugh the most. And did I mentioned I like wierd female character? |
| 259. | Comments by pochichan [Rating: 10/10]
Really great drama.. It's hilarious from the beginning till the end.. Chiaki senpai looks so cool esp. when playing the piano with Nodame =) I now like classic musics after I watched this drama. |
| 260. | Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 10/10]
I absolutely loved every minute of it. Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi were both amazing. All of it was great |

| 265. | Comments by Jumpdiva [Rating: 10/10]
LOVE this drama. It brought me a different, more admirable perspective on Classical music. I absolutely love it. Have yet to watch the specials, but this is definitely worth the time.
Humorous, romance but not overly sappy. You easily connect with the characters as well. Ingenious. |
| 266. | Comments by dheng19 [Rating: 10/10]
aww... so touching and funny! I love the characters, so awesome! life-like Nodame and Chiaki, yebah! |
| 267. | Comments by Lee-chan [Rating: 8/10]
A bit too silly for me at parts... It reminded me a lot of HanaDan, as well (with a bunch of classical music). It definitely picked up towards the end. A very fun watch! |
| 268. | Comments by himesayu [Rating: 10/10]
The best musical drama. For me, of course. Very hilarious series with an outstanding cast. |
| 269. | Comments by JuLy [Rating: 10/10]
Hwakakakakkaa!!! such a GREAT WORKS!! its perfectly SUGOI like the manga's.
Also enjoys the symphony from Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff even Chopin from Chiaki's and Nodame's finger.
Viva S Orchestra!! have a great time & laugh watching those people from the weirdo jungle hahahha...SuGOi!! |
| 270. | Comments by misaki697 [Rating: 10/10]
one of my favorite dramas!! such an amazing cast! ueno juri is amazing as nodame!! definitely a must-see drama!!! |
| 271. | Comments by tomoko [Rating: 9/10]
juri and tamaki played great as nodame and chiaki! |
| 272. | Comments by poopiefish [Rating: 6/10]
It was a pretty entertaining watch. I was reluctant to watch it due to the hype; in the end, it didn't exactly prove worthwhile, but it was still a fun ride. The humor is pretty good. Nodame wasn't exactly 100% lovable to me, and neither was Chiaki; both of them got on my nerves at times. The premise/lesson of the drama was an interesting topic: passion in music (I think this applies to every type of art actually), but in the end the series only managed to touch on the surface of the topic, and didn't provide much insight, which contributed to the series' failure to achieve a lasting presence in my heart. I suppose I shouldn't expect too much from dramas though... eh? |
| 273. | Comments by azngelique [Rating: 7/10]
soo musical.. fun to watch.. not your typical love story drama.. |
| 274. | Comments by venuskarura [Rating: 3/10]
Don't understand what is all the hype about this drama. none of the characters grab any of my attention with their exaggerated gags, even tried to watch it again but failed to see why it is so popular >_<'' |
| 275. | Comments by jey92 [Rating: 9/10]
One of the great drama's out there.. |

One of the best breakthrough and refreshing drama's in a long time. |
| 280. | Comments by delaciel [Rating: 10/10]
Nodame Cantabile is the best drama i've ever watched... The cast is so perfect, and i like the fact that they didn't totally copyied the manga (the character and storyline). I love the ending and the music performance. I've watch this drama like a thousand times yet I never bored.
Eveything in this drama is so perfect. |
| 281. | Comments by ellia [Rating: 10/10]
I adore classical music!!! I absolutely love Tamaki Hiroshi (after this dorama). Period. |

| 283. | Comments by elfgeek [Rating: 10/10]
Fun and laughs from start to finish! I had to own it! The orchestra and the song choices are second to none! Special effects and stunts in this series made it even more special and shines from other comedy/love series. Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi were just superb in this series! |
| 284. | Comments by mizuno_takako [Rating: 10/10]
Love the classical music they choose for this show. Ueno Juri & Tamaki Hiroshi have prefect chemistry... Etai was good too... |

best drama EVER. i have never cried and laughed so much watching a jdorama its beautiful, funny, and I fell in love with the story and actors! |
| 287. | Comments by michimaru [Rating: 10/10]
this drama left me speechless! it was so sweet and full of great passion for music, all the while being absolutely hillarious at the same time. Chiaki & Nodame are so adorable together. chuuu~! and! this is probably the first drama that i actually liked Eita in. that monkey boy did good this time. |
| 288. | Comments by sinned12 [Rating: 9/10]
Another one of my favorites. I liked Ueno Juri on this one. This is probably the only drama I've seen her do comedy and it suited her well. |
| 289. | Comments by natsumi_chan06 [Rating: 10/10]

funny dorama but classical music really isn't me |
| 292. | Comments by 菜奈子 [Rating: 9/10]
AMAZING DRAMA! The reason it loses one ranking point is because of the slight touch of over acting. But I really really enjoyed it overall. Love the touch of classical music that fused with the plot line |
| 293. | Comments by kyunspark [Rating: 8/10]

amazing series that showcased not only ueno juri's and the rest of the cast's excellent acting, but also put in a lot of good production time into producing classical music with a modern vibe. LOVE IT! |
| 302. | Comments by idiotcat [Rating: 9/10]
pretty good, a really good cast, in my opinion. silly, fun, and funny. the musical performances were great and the development of the orchestras were fun and fulfilling to watch. I think Ueno is a great actress, but her character nodame was getting pretty annoying towards the end. after a while i just wanted her to be normal and not a freaking weirdo anymore. and the lisp kinda made me twitch. Eita was again excellent, as always, and the main character whom i've never seen before was quite good as well. overall a really good story |

TOTEMO OMOSHIROII!!! SOO FUNNY!!! 1st episode was wonderful!! Franz Stresemann (Takenaka Naoto) with his broken Japanese is too much!! And Nodame (Ueno Juri) playing along side him. 2 FuNnY!! Tamaki Hiroshi as Chiaki does a good job. Fun cast, plenty of laughs, some teary moments and music that'll move you!! 4th episode was GREAT!! :D |
| 305. | Comments by Amber [Rating: 7/10]
It was not as funny as other doramas ( i loved the scene in which they spoke German, too funny). A light comedy dorama but i would not watch it over again. |
| 306. | Comments by jankuangel [Rating: 8/10]
Good drama: the music was amazing and I felt like I could relate to it so well. Orchestra for the win :)
Also, it wasn't a typical romantic comedy - it was more realistic to me, despite the occasional "GYABO!"s that lightened up the mood.
I really love the music and the characters. |

Didn't think this would be that good, but it definitely pulls you in, even though you don't want to watch, it draws you in, cuz her acting is just really funny. |

Highly recommended. GYABOOO!!!! |

Best drama ever, in my heart at least. Now to be fair, the filming was probably not the best out of all the series I've seen, but the casting was superb (Juri, anyone?), the wacky manga-like feel was simply hilarious, and an extremely meaningful drama as well. It's what keeps me watching J-dramas. |
