Yoon-ah as Nodame?
by javabeans
So the big news today is that Girls Generation’s Yoon-ah has been offered the lead role in the Nodame Cantabile remake. Inasmuch as this is a highly anticipated adaptation of a beloved Japanese series whose heroine was pretty much universally loved (Ueno Juri), already there’s a flurry of mixed reactions to the news.
Currently Yoon-ah’s casting isn’t final, and articles range from saying that she’s only a possibility to that she’s nearly a lock. I’d take it with a grain of salt—announcing the news this way smacks of the producers putting out feelers before committing—but it does also seem to be serious enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they went with Yoon-ah after all. KBS likes her, she’s got a large fan base, she’s headlined dramas before, and she has export potential. So I see what they’re thinking in going for someone as mainstream as her.
On the other hand, I find it disappointing since producers were first courting Shim Eun-kyung (Miss Granny, Sunny) for the role and she would have been fantastic, particularly since Nodame is a character with a lot of interesting quirks and dimension, and Shim Eun-kyung is a wonderful actor with spot-on comic timing. The fact that she was the first choice was encouraging, and gave me faith that the show was taking this casting seriously.
So when you put them next to each other as actresses, Yoon-ah kind of pales in comparison; she has improved over the years and I have no problem with her taking on shows that I don’t have a lot of attachment to (say, as with Prime Minister and I, which was cute). But I just can’t bring myself to be any sort of excited about her in this drama. Nodame is a bumbling slob whose piano skills are more savant than skilled, while Yoon-ah’s exactly the kind of approachably pretty girl who would ruin Nodame’s quirks for me, because she would be rom-com-weird, not actually weird. Her version of off-the-wall would be to do everything cutely and prettily, when what I appreciate about Nodame is that sometimes she’s just plain bizarre.
According to a KBS producer, while Yoon-ah is currently considering favorably and is a likely candidate, they do require the approval of the writer of the original series, Ninomiya Tomoko. She has stated that she wants a Korean Nodame who is 100% in line with Ueno Juri’s portrayal, and she does have final veto rights. So there is that.
The Korean version of Nodame Cantabile is planning for an October premiere on KBS.

I legit groaned at the news. She's improved, yes, but definitely doesn't match Japanese!Nodame, which I loved loved loved. And I was so looking forward to this remake.
Although the news about the author being able to have the final veto is awesome, so fingers crossed.

I don't take the whole veto thing too seriously. They aren't going to publicly embarrass Yoona and say she wasn't approved. Though I guess if she backs out they'll come up with some other reason like a scheduling conflict.

You're right. If the original writer has the final say, then they surely wouldn't announce a final casting decision at all unless they had her approval first.

It will be more like the petition against Yunho's casting in 'You Who Came From the Stars' - they will just quietly announce that she was too busy with her idol activities to take on the role.
I think casting her in this, is a huge mistake. She was passable in Prime Minister & I, but she will not be able to do well in this role. It will be oh look at Yoona acting weird, look at her acting cute, and never actually about the character.
I know she is still popular among her fans, especially the international fans, but she is no longer the 'IT' girl in Korea. The current controversies with her group, none the less.
To saddle Joo Won with a bad actress, is akin to what is happening to LJS in Doctor Stranger. JUST NO!

oh I don't know, the news that she was dating Lee Seung Gi has been literally the only time I've ever seen idol dating news received with all-round approval by netizens. She's still very much an It Girl for Korea, this one.
And while I REALLY don't think she should take this particular role since she's not at that level of skill, she's still a much better actress than the one from Dr Stranger - at least she makes multiple facial expressions!

She already tweeted that she doesn't have a say. So, I don't know why the producers lied that she does. I think this goes to show the short sightedness of Korean Entertainment. They only care about the profit, and figured Yoona would bring the big bucks.
Which isn't necessarily true in this case:
1. Most international fans will watch by streaming.
2. SNSD does not have a big China presence.
3. Japan - the place that they are always banking on, when casting idols, will not work this time - cause why would the Japanese pay to watch a watered down version of their own drama?
So, the whole excuse of not caring about ratings, cause idols bring in the big bucks, is all ready a fail in this instance.

Well, that's true. But, in the case of BOF, Meteor Garden was a monstrous hit. Even in my country (in SEA), which was practically closed to Asian series up to that time, it was a huge success and opened up the mainstream market for Asian dramas. So it's not the Japanese Hana Yori Dango.
And, again, the Japanese Nodame Cantabile never made it to the mainstream market here.

How I wish its not a remake from ehem so called THE BEST ANIME ADAPTATION DRAMA ever.
Yoona has improved a lot, I kindda like her in PM&I. Maybe because she was acting besides the good actor like LBS.
I have faith in Yoona and Joowon. But yes, I still don't like this remake drama. People just can't stop comparing it.
I like Joowon's acting, he is good actor, I hope he and Yoona can bring out the best of each other for this drama.
Speaking of suitable actress for this role, yes SEK sounds perfect but not with Joowon. I just can't see it.
I will stick with my decision, to not watch the ORIGNAL J-version, I already set my mind that I'm watching A NEW drama, and not a remake.

Believe it or not, I survived BOF before, later than I know that it's actually a remake! But do I liked it? No really. I watch it but not a fan of it.
So, I dunno about this Nodame drama fuss.
I just glad that my Joowon is back to dramaland, but from the beginning I'm totally against it. People just can't stop talking about it.
Huh.

I enjoyed BOF while it aired but you seriously couldn't pay me to watch it again a second time. HYD was much fresher and lighter without losing any of the necessary points; I've watched this version at least 3 times already. Of course this is because a lot of Kdramas cater towards a lot of 'makjang' elements.
Anyways, you should seriously consider watching the original Nodame. Even with being an avid Kdrama watcher, Nodame still remains at my top three for dramas. I have watched the entire series, specials and movies dozens of times already (seriously, no joke). I loved it soooo much, I went on and watched the anime counterparts and read the original manga. I do this every year by the way; I seriously marathon all three different medias without fail every year. It is just soooo damn good.
But on topic to the article - I mean no offense to her or her fans, but I will seriously be so disappointed to see her as Nodame.

YES YES YESSSSSS!!! Kim Seul Gi would have been perrrrfect for this role! I loved her too in Flower Boy Next Door and she in my opinion had more acting chops than Park Shin Hye.
And more than that, she would have been a great pair with Joo Won too...the girl is so quirky and has great comic timing--both traits Nodame from the original version had. If it's not Shim Eun Kyung, then I'd definitely rather have Kim Seul Gi for this role hands down.
But Yoon Ah? Noooooooooo!!!! I just can't see her as Nodame AT ALL, and her acting ability is like minimal to begin with in my opinion. Like javabeans said, Nodame is weird, a bit crazy, and at the same time a little cute. But with Yoon Ah, I just see cute--and that is NOT Nodame. Nodame is just so much more than that!
Here's hoping Yoon Ah will not be cast for this role at all. I probably will still watch it for the lovely story that Nodame Cantabile is, but I definitely don't see myself loving it anywhere close to the original.

Playing the slobbish and free Nodame needs an actor who can be un-selfconsious. Yooh Ah doesn't have that yet. She is still carrying around the idol feeling in her acting that she is always being watched.

I agree Yoona shouldn't be cast as the lead. I used to like her alot in the beginning. I have watched all her dramas and all she does is act prettily and cutesy. I believe she's so overexposed that it's gotten to her head. She needs to grow and step out of her "idol" status and become a more bold edgy actress. But I don't believe she's brave enough to step out of those boundaries because of her so called "Idol"persona. I hope she realizes that her "Idol" status has an expiration date she's getting older each year and needs to make bold choices. Don't get me wrong her acting has improve but only a "little". She's still got a long ways to go to be considered for this type of role. The writers should consider giving to lead to someone else.

I wasn't all that keen on Joo Won as Chiaki - sorry, I just see Joo Won as too warm and fluffy and approachable for the role - but this would be the nail in the coffin. Yoon-ah is a conventionally pretty girl with a normal sort of aura who is a conventionally okay actress. I can see why she is popular - there's not a thing about her that is the least edgy, objectional, intellectual or strange. But just those things that make her popular would make her a terrible Nodame. Just no.

This is just such bad casting. And totally uninspired. Yes, Yoona can be quirky and not like her pretty image, but she's not Nodame and doesn't have the skills to pull off the complex character. Joo Won isn't doing much for me either, but I thought if they got a good Nodame it might work... but this has failure written all over it.
I'm not sure what either gain from doing this drama either. They'll always be compared unfavorably to the original. Seems like this drama would be a perfect for two up and coming actors to do. All I can do now is look forward to the trainwreck.

A good team and channel could pull this off, even if the warmth of the original requires maturity kdrama generally seems to lack in its primetime dramas, but this is produced by the people who did 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Pretty Man'.
So yes, I don't think Yoona is the biggest problem here. This has had fail written all over it since the start. I just can't see it working as a kdrama. Also, I am pretty sure Masumi will be made straight too. So much about what makes Nodame wonderful are things kdrama is bad with.
I'll pass unless I hear of a miracle.

Yes, if cast, Yoona will just be one of the problems with this remake.
I don't think Joo-won is Chiaki either, Masumi is very likely to be made straight (or if he'll be gay, it'll be "maybe he's gay, but we never say it out loud" which is the most you see in kdramas). All the obscenities are likely to be tamed down. It'll be a chaster version of Nodame, probably with lots more cute than quirky and way out there.
I have a feeling they are going for a quite different Korean version and fans that will be watching for the actors cast will defend it on that basis. I mean, if they cast Yoona... sorry, that's more for the idol fan base (and thus $$$) than the acting talent needed for this role. They are going for someone with musical talent of which there is none needed; what is needed is a top-notch actress that can pull off all the complicated aspects of the character of Nodame.
Pass indeed.

July 7, 2014 at 1:35 AM
I agree with you totally. Joo Won isn't Chiaki, period. He has zero of the aura exuded by Tamaki Hiroshi. And if they make Masumi straight, it'd just take away one of the most hilarious elements of the Nodame series. Yoona, if cast, can never grasp the essence of Ueno Juri's portrayal. I just can't believe what they're doing with the remake. I hope the author puts a stop to it.

They'll probably play the love triangle with Chiaki's ex-girlfriend instead.... when the one-sided love triangle with Masumi was all the fun!
I would love to say I trust the author will put a stop to it, but if she has veto powers but okayed Joo won already, I'm not optimistic. Plus, money talks (and money it is bound to make – I mean look at Dr. Stranger, which is a hot mess of a drama but probably considered a 'total success' by the producers) and mangaka lead a hard existence.

July 7, 2014 at 4:14 AM
It'd be hilarious if they played up the ex-girlfriend angle when it didn't even merit much airtime in the drama. Saiko wasn't even annoying in the drama and she didn't have that much screentime. Besides, by the time she realised Chiaki and Nodame had that somethin' somethin', she didn't even do much wreckage, and sometimes even went out of her way to help them. Totally un-kdrama-like!
Who knows... maybe the K version will make Kiyora fall for Chiaki... then we can have a "real" love triangle/quadrangle with Nodame and Mine...
Someone on p2 said the author doesn't have the final veto power, so it means we're screwed. I'd been wondering how she could have okayed Joo Won since he's a far cry from Tamaki Hiroshi, but this kinda makes sense too if she doesn't have the final say. Producers were probably just tossing out author's name and veto powers in case of a backlash about Yoona's casting.

I think the "Korean" thing here is moor important than the Yoona thing. There are some types of movies and shows that Korea simply does not do well (basically anything without clichés), and this is one of those types.
If they try to work some kind of perpetual love triangle into this, I am definitely out - it simply is not the type of drama for another shipping war by fans.

I agree – it's not a type of genre Korea does well. That's why I balked at the idea of a remake before even any casting was announced.
Yoona's casting (if confirmed) will be part of the "Korean" issue here. We'll get a cute, frazzled heroine. Other than things being toned down, I wonder if they'll give her a makeover, because all the frazzled heroines I've seen in Korean dramas pretty much end-up beautified by the end.
I'm having nightmarish flashback visions from Kimi wa Petto / You're My Pet. And the casting there at least had potential... just the Koreanification was a disaster.

No! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Watching her act is insufferable.

She never becomes her character. Seriously, her hair is never out of place. I know she's always conscious of the fact that there are cameras on her when she's acting. The exact opposite of Joo-won.

It's the same for Go Ara, everyone was like "How can they cast Go Ara for Reply 1994?" but at the end of the day she did well and you know, she's no longer the "Pretty face that cant act". Give Yoona a chance, she's not bad. And Yoona is greatly disadvantaged because of her idol status, because people are straight to leave negative comments if an "idol" is involved.

I love Yoona.
I watched few clips of Yoona is variety programme
She is not as perfect as she is portraying. She has her crazy and 'ugly' side. Maybe she is not as quirky as Shim Eun-kyung, because I think, Yoona's real self is plain. Probably, because she is one of the Korean entertainment icon like JJH, KTH and Suzy, she need to keep her ' beautiful image'
if only Yoona can be like Go Ara, than I will love her more.
Joo-won is that kind of person too, his real self is 'boring' according to him from his various interviews, but he is professional actor and was trained to be a good actor, who knows, in this drama Yoona can show us the new side of her, she should take this golden opportunity and learn from Joo-won. Knowing Joo-won, he is one actor that like his partner to do as good as him.
Joo-won and Yoona fighting!

There are possibly a handful few that could pull of this role, but I'm not convinced they really approaching this on the basis of the actual acting talent needed.
I wonder if they ever gave a thought to Im Joo-eun (I doubt it, since she's so underused and wouldn't come with that kind of fan base that can make them tons of money).
Bae-doona and Im Su-jeong are high calibre actresses, but they do more movies than dramas nowadays (and probably have much better offers too).

There are plenty of young and talented actresses that could be a hundred times better than YoonA or other idols, Kim Ji Won and Jung So Min come to mind. They are both pretty, but are not afraid to let go immerse themselves in their roles. Plus they look young for their age.
The real problem is that South Korean entertainment, especially KBS, focuses more on making the cast visually perfect than trying to get the personality of the rights.
alua
July 7, 2014 at 9:26 AM
I'm not saying there aren't any, but K-entertainment seems to more insistent on promoting the same people and idols (some talented, others not at all) more so than developing a whole generation of promising young new actors.
I can think of extremely talented Japanese actors in the 18-25 range that have extensive acting experience, including with major roles, because they are given the chance.
I struggle a lot more with K actors. Who at the moment in that age range has the demonstrated range of someone like Bae Noona? Im Soo-jung? Jeon Do-yeon? etc. I'm sure there some out there that have the talent, but who aren't being nurtured because they keep getting such minor, minor roles, if any at all. Mainly because they don't come with a pre-made fan base or perhaps don't fit visually very narrow idea of 'beautiful k-drama actors that are permissible as leads'.
I'm sorry if I'm harsh, but it's disillusioning because I think they are shooting themselves in the foot.
Well, at least K-films are still better, especially indies remain daring.
Sonia
July 7, 2014 at 9:38 AM
No, no, I can see exactly where you are coming from. I was just reaffirming your statement. There is a lot of talent out there, but like you said it's "invisible" because the production companies don't give them the chance.
I just think that they focus way too much on the logistics (locations, sets, making everything look perfect, etc), and not enough on the characters and who can do them justice. Funny thing is, the best dramas are usually the ones that break these rules of perfection. One would thing South Korea would have noticed by now -_-

July 7, 2014 at 9:57 AM
@alua - I agree, SK has the talent but they just don't seem to like giving young non-idol actresses any chance at all.
The current generation of A list leading ladies - Bae Doona, Im Soo-jung, Gong Hyo-jin, Shin Mina, Sohn Ye-jin, Kim Min-hee, etc.....they'd all established their lead status by the time they were 22-23. This current generation isn't getting the chances because every time a lead role for that age group pops up on public broadcast, talent is never the priority when filling that role. Hence why Kim Ji-won, Jung So-min, Im Joo-eun, Lee Yubi, etc end up in second lead or minor roles so much when they're more than capable of bringing depth to roles that bad idol actors muck up. Sadly, even producers like to claim they'd rather cast idols for the fanbase and claim that it's because there is no talent, which is a bald lie.
I'm hoping that the recent casting of Baek Jin-hee in Triangle and Go Sung-hee in Night Watchman, might mean that chances for young under-25 actresses are finally on the rise again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Considering that it's been out and about that YoonA is a huge fan of the series and (it's been known forever that she is a J-drama fan) wants the Nodame role for herself, I think the comment speaks for itself.
I have nothing against YoonA (more so towards SME), but this casting just shows that KBS is desperate at this point and just wants a cash cow, not a good Nodame.

July 7, 2014 at 10:11 AM
Basically, a person should know their own limitations. She should leave this role to someone with the skills and aptitude for this kind of project, not ruin it for all the die-hard fans who have been eagerly anticipating this adaptation. Even if she is a decent actress, Nodame is far beyond her skill-level.
Instead, she should be happy with what she already has: A boyfriend most girls would kill for, Girls Generation, fame, wealth, good looks - and let the drama fans have the Nodame they want. Taking that from us, and then butchering the character (which I'm 85% certain she'll do) is just being selfish. Especially since fans are not shy to let their opinions be heard; and the majority is clearly not in her favor.

I'm not a big Joowon fan so him as Chiaki made me wary (was hoping Joo Ji-hoon would take on the role) and was looking forward to a good actress playing Nodame to make me look forward to this adaptation. *sigh* Why does it have to be Yoona, SME? Sunny could've been a better alternative.

I generally don't even like watching Park Shin Hye's roles (and after Heirs, thinking about her kind of tickles my gag reflex), but I'd rather see someone like her take the part than Yoona.

Even though she's the best actress among the SNSD girls, her quirky characters are so over the top that you just cant help but groan each time she tries to be quirky or weird. Her character in PMAI and LR are prime examples of that. I also agree that she's just too pretty to evoke the same feelings that we felt for the ordinary but bizarely loveable nodame by Juri Ueno.
And i've never felt any chemistry between yoona and her other leading men (love rain and prime minister and I).
Jung Eun ji would have been a better nodame by a whole.stretch if only she didnt take trot lovers.

I can see why a lot of people think Yoon-ah is a good match for Miki Kiyora, but I disagree. One of the things that drew me to her is because that, despite her talent and intelligence, we saw layers of complexities and vulnerabilities beneath the surface. Also, Mizukawa Asami's performace was lovely; she might not be considered conventionally pretty like Yoon-ah, but I feel that factor contributed to her calm and self-contained performance. In addition, the chemistry between Mine and Kiyora was awesome; I was rooting them as much as I was for Nodame and Chiaki. I just don't know if Yoon-ah could match the performace or chemistry of that (nor can I imagine her with a rocker dude).
Speaking of which, who will play Mine?! Eita is an amazing actor, and I hope they choose someone good. Honestly, the only performance I'm looking forward to is Baek Yoon-shik's portrayal as Maestro Stresseman. Other than that, I'm not gonna watch it.
