The k-remake is called Tomorrow Cantabile (or rather, Nae-il Cantabile, Nae-il being the name of k-Nodame, and also means "tomorrow").
Shim Eun-kyung, the actress who plays the k-Nodame, looks like Juri and is a decent actress, so it's not terrible terrible. The other cast photos are passable, but it's just that they feel photoshopped and a bit off, if you know what I mean. Perhaps I'm too critical? I just don't feel they're going about this the right way. And they added a rival character for Chiaki - a new cello player who is interested in Nodame. I mean what? We already have Kuroki and romance isn't a big part of Nodame Cantabile anyway.
But Joo Won, the guy who plays Chiaki, is :doh: I mean, what's with his crappy hair and shirts with one stripe across? Doesn't feel or look like a Chiaki at all :shakehead: I feel all sorts of ragey that this is the guy playing my beloved Chiaki senpai. How is he even a patch on Tamaki Hiroshi? Of course, I'm outnumbered by the pro-remake fangirls of Joo Won, sigh.
