‘Nodame Cantabile ~ Tomorrow Cantabile’, a drama based on Japan’s best-seller manga which sold over 37 million copies, is a classical music rom-com that shows the growth and love between Yoojin, an elite music university student aiming to become a conductor and Naeil, a music university student who falls behind in the piano department. Playing the lead role Yoojin is Joo Won who has acted in many popular dramas such as ‘Baker King Kim Tak Gu’. And the heroine Naeil is played by Shim Eunkyung whose acting in ‘Miss Granny’ is still fresh in our minds. This is a work piece that became a large topic in Korea as a cast of Korea’s young and talented representatives is formed and also because the Japanese version drama ‘Nodame Cantabile’ has a lot of fans. The Blu-ray & DVD-BOX will be released on 1st July and to commemorate this, a drama event was held on 29th May (Fri) at Tokyo-Zepp Divercity.

Went to the solo live of Korean actor Joo Won on 24th January at Tokyo Toyosu PIT.

Joo Won started his career as a musical actor. At the live on this day, he started with the impressionable song from the musical ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ – ‘This Is The Moment’. Translation of the song lyrics was available at both sides of the stage just like musicals, strongly conveying the content of the song that Jekyll sang with full determination.

Joo Won spoke to the audience – “Hello. Have you been well? It’s been a long time since I came to Japan. Today there is no MC too. I will be proceeding and singing as I like!”. Just like his innocent image from variety programs, the live proceeded with a free atmosphere.

[NEWS-141208] KBS, Joo Won card for 5 years… next year again?

KBS, Joo Won card for 5 years… next year again?

2014, KBS brought out Joo Won as their card to the forefront.  Beginning from ‘Baker King Kim TakGu’ the relationship with Joo Won and KBS continued through ‘Ojakgyo Brothers’, ‘Bridal Mask’, ‘Good Doctor’ and again this year, still continued 5 long years of relationship with ‘Naeil’s Cantabile’.  ‘Naeil’s Cantabile’, which is the remake of Japan’s popular drama ‘Nodame Cantabile’ brought hot issues with the casting of the main female actress.  As for the main male actor, it was very early decided on Joo Won.

However, even with Joo Won’s impassioned performance, it was brought to an end with below 5% ratings leaving the regrets of the remade drama’s limitation.  Joo Won who has been working on projects  non-stop has plans for a short rest before reviewing and selecting on his next project.  Whether he will continue the relationship with KBS in the year 2015 is being watched with interest.
