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. |

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! |

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! ^^ |
| 18. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: ?/10]
I am currently watching this, but I can easily say this is going to be one of my favorites. ^_^ |

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! |

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. |
| 21. | 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. |
| 22. | 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. |
| 25. | 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! |
| 26. | Comments by czajka [Rating: 8/10]
[1st] Haha, I've watched only one episode, and I must say that this drama is NOT overrated! |

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. |
| 31. | 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. |
| 32. | Comments by Tokibaka [Rating: 10/10]
Love this. funniest ever. |
| 33. | Comments by maui [Rating: 8/10]
super high quality for the new era of jdorama |
| 34. | 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 =] |
| 35. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 10/10]
Wonderful and so funny. Beautiful classical music! They were born to each other~ne! |
| 36. | 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 |
| 38. | 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 |
| 39. | 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? |
| 43. | 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 episodes) are kinda boring. |
| 44. | 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. |
| 45. | Comments by inessalenin [Rating: 10/10]
Very funny! |
| 46. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: 8/10]
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. |
| 47. | Comments by 8thSin [Rating: 9/10]
Funniest series ever! |
| 48. | 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. |
| 49. | 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. |
| 57. | 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.. |
| 58. | 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 |
| 59. | 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! |
| 60. | 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. |
| 61. | 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). |
| 62. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 10/10]
watched the drama bcos i love the manga!!!
and i love the drama too!!!!!!!!! chiaki-sama is so good looking and nodame is so cute!! i love both character very much!

| 64. | Comments by butterLiLy [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! |
| 65. | Comments by ffrostte [Rating: 10/10]
Wonderful drama. Hilarious yet elegant at times!! Highly recommend this one! |
| 66. | 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!!!) |
| 67. | 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 ^__^ |
| 68. | Comments by NuOy [Rating: 10/10]
Very funny and the music is very excellent!! |
| 69. | Comments by bmwracer [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. The only downside is the irritating portrayal of gays as horny, abnormal freaks. Aside from that, this drama is highly recommended. :) |
| 70. | 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. |
| 71. | Comments by >anca< [Rating: 10/10]

i rili like the main characters.. all the characters!
must watch! |
| 72. | 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! |

Enjoyed the first two episodes for their hilarity, but got sick of the cheesy happiness and very cliche plot after that. Tamaki is hot tho =P |

One of my favorite drama! Must watch it again!! |
| 83. | 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! |
| 84. | 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?) |

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. =) |
| 101. | 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 |
| 102. | 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! |

| 106. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 9/10]
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. |
| 110. | 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! |
| 116. | 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. |
| 117. | 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. =) |
| 122. | Comments by yolande [Rating: 9/10]
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. |
| 123. | Comments by bba1 [Rating: 7/10]
Dont see the appeal with Chiaki-senpai, or why Nodame would love him. Most of the drama seems to be about everyone loving Chiaki despite him being a hardass. The slapstick/anime comedy was funny. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

so funny and so good drama. |
| 132. | Comments by chaos [Rating: 9/10]
The only thing that holds me back from giving it a 10 is......... the show has to end. |
| 133. | 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... |
| 134. | 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... ^^ |
| 135. | 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..... |
| 136. | 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. |

tamaki was da man!!! And Juri acted Nodame well enough!! |
| 140. | Comments by ShinYo [Rating: 9/10]
I thought this drama would be boring for me cause it's about music, but when I gave it a shot and started watching it, I found it was real funny and I liked it... Nodame and Chiaki were great and wonderful pair, their performances were the best. I like those Chiaki expressions... his face was just hilarious when he was surprised or something... GYABOOO |
| 141. | Comments by lisajayne [Rating: 10/10]
Right ingredients for all, the cast, acting, music, plot and the ending. |
| 142. | Comments by shortmei [Rating: 9/10]
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). |
| 143. | Comments by mikomiko123 [Rating: 10/10]
too amazed to even say anything...lol |
| 144. | 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. |

Hilarious! Action keeps true to the anime. The actors all play their roles so well. I personally found it much more enjoyable than the anime. |

I was laughing myself off the whole time I was watching this drama. Surely the characters did a REALLY great job in here. Now I'm wishin for a sequel. *kyaaaa* |

luv it ... ~~enjoyed every minute of it... |
| 152. | Comments by ducko [Rating: 10/10]
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. |

Something was refreshing in this drama, maybe because of the combination between classical music and funny acts.

The plot isn't very complicated but there is a simplicity and subtlety that makes it very comforting to watch. The leads are fabulous and so is the classical music. |
| 167. | Comments by cheery [Rating: 10/10]
Nodame made classical music not as boring it seems. I didn't know I would be interested in classical music until I watched Nodame. Very superb cast and a really good story line! |

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! |

Oh man, I couldn't get my ass off my chair while watching this show. It's just so hilarious. Nodame is soooooooooo cute. Now I want to go back to playing the violin. |
| 179. | Comments by Azalea [Rating: 10/10]
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....
Chuu~ |

simply awesome. very satisfying and it renewed my love for music and piano :D chiaki senpai is too charismatic for words. |
| 185. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 8/10]
This is definitiv not a "mediocrity" drama!
It's an "unbelievably" classical music drama ! ;)
One extra point for this great soundtrack !!! |
| 186. | 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! |
| 187. | 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. |

The music and skills were great. I loved the music. The comedy was somewhat artistically done, and I liked it how the story went. Can't wait for the SP in 2008. :) |
| 191. | 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 ^_^. |

A cartoon without animation. Everything is so over the top it's ludicrous. I didn't believe any of this for one second. |

Awesome story, cast and music. Love Nodame!!! |
| 199. | Comments by cwenting [Rating: 10/10]
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! |
| 200. | Comments by akitsu [Rating: 7/10]
I enjoyed this show very much. But I have to mention that the beginning was much better than the end. I wish the gradation created in the first episode would last little longer. |
| 201. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 10/10]
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. |

I wish they were more dramas like this. |

no chemistry b/w the leads; way too silly to be funny. I found the physical humor at the expense of the heroine a little offputti |
