Slapstick Comedy In ‘Tomorrow Cantabile’

Since the premiere of the new KBS 2 TV Monday Tuesday drama 'Tomorrow Cantabile,' which premiered on October 13, 2014, many are talking about the cultural difference between the KBS 2 TV Monday Tuesday drama 'Tomorrow Cantabile,' and "Nodame Cantabile," the Japanese version of the drama with the same content, was a hit drama in 2006.

Experts say the reason why the national viewing rate of the drama has not been as high as expected, especially considering that "Nodame Cantabile" was a hit drama in 2006, is because the Korean version relied too much on the original work, and did not leave enough room for its own interpretation. The Korean version skipped some of the overplayed slapstick comedy, and deepened the relationships among the characters. However, the drama is still struggling to find its own spin on the original story in a Korean way. In related news, the new KBS 2 TV Monday Tuesday drama 'Tomorrow Cantabile' which premiered on October 13, 2014, tells a story of an orchestra composer Cha Yoo Jin, played by actor Joo Son, who is a man who has everything but feels empty inside, and pianist Sul Nae Il, played by actress Shim Eun Kyung, who has nothing but is filled with positive energy.
