But not that it was a direct remake. If you find otherwise, please point me in the right direction!

Lead character was supposed to be gifted, but very messy and scatterbrained . . and that is exactly like Nodame. Details of back story thus far seem to be very unique in its own right now.

Just in case the comparisons confuse some people into thinking this is a Korean Nodame.

For me, the big draw isn't just the cast, but that I'm itching to see what Lee Jae Gyu does with portraying classical music performance and especially the orchestra pit. 5.1 sound. Stylish My Sassy Girl-style 360 shots. Maybe something with slow motion that we haven't really seen. I don't want to be cheated out of a LJG filmic experience if they can't afford it. But yeah, Kyung Min is one hair application away from having a jeri curl. Beethoven gone Earth Wind and Fire? I love it. You got to let your soul glow! :D E is a good fit for Nodame; I'd be surprised if she doesn't already have some kind of musical background (a Korean American who studied cello or violin or piano? Wow never heard of that! *cough* ) Not sure how I feel about Jang Geun Seok playing Eita's (who is wonderful in a bunch of Japanese shows this year) role, but I would love it they deliberately played the "JGS looks just like . . . " card and remake JGS's character to be a dead ringer for Jo In Sung in The Classic. I’m now worried about the budgeting for the show.

Are they serious?!

The only thing they have in common is classical music. Can you really see KMM as Chiaki-sempai? That's really odd. I think it's probably a more serious drama, which I hope.
