I honestly don't know why I started watching Nodame Cantabile just because 1. I dont like classical music and 2. I didnt know who any of the cast was... Story- It was hilarious but also inspiring. Other than that the plot is pretty ordinary. Acting/Cast- The acting was perfect. Loved the entire cast because they fit their roles perfectly. I'm a new fan of Tamaki=D Music- Wonderful score that matched the theme of the show. I wasn't interested in listening to the music outside of the show though. I do have more respect for classical music though after watching this. Rewatch- Because it was so entertaining and I loved the cast I'd watch this every year. Overall Nodame Cantabile is different but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Its one of the best J dramas out there. So watch it!
