Yoona answers prayers, says no to ‘Nodame Cantabile’

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Girls’ Generation (SNSD)’s Yoona decided to turn down the lead role for Nodame Cantabile.

SM Entertainment told Newsen on July 14, “We received numerous casting offers and after thorough consideration we decided to turn down the offer.”

Instead, Yoona has recently confirmed to act as the lead of Korea-Chinese collaboration film Goodbye Ani.

Yoona has been discussed as the strongest candidate for the lead role of ‘Nodame’ in KBS 2TV’s Nodame Cantabile (tentative) scheduled to air in October. Juri Ueno took the role of ‘Nodame’ in the original Japanese drama, receiving a lot of love.

‘Nodame’ is a student majoring in Piano who has a 4 dimensional personality. As Yoona has decided not to take the role, attention has reverted to who will be acting as ′Nodame′ in the Korean version of the drama.



1. [+2,323, -43] How fortunate...

2. [+1,747, -42] Good choice... Less to worry about.

3. [+1,642, -31] Yoona's avoided the extreme.

4. [+1,623, -242] Can't believe she's even in the position to be rejecting such a role

5. [+1,253, -25] Good choice....

6. [+311, -22] Good choice, the majority of the comments were hateful not to mention she doesn't match the role anyway

7. [+304, -16] At least she's realistic. Public sentiment was largely negative last time so it's good that she gave it up.

8. [+316, -57] Good choice, Saebyuk-ah~^^ How is it that your acting hasn't changed for years since your role as Saebyuk, your acting's always remained the same

9. [+251, -11] A win win for both parties

10. [+232, -4] Fortunate... It didn't match Yoona at all

I'm glad as I'm sure a lot of people are that she declined it.

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

ugh, maybe she wasn't the right choice for this drama, but imma need people to get off their high horse about idol actors. i've seen enough drama's and these tv actors aren't even that much better.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

eh... but that's a different issue from yoona being bad at acting.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

ok but I still expect this remake to disappoint me so

[shupagirl-uk.livejournal.com]

I agree. I think dramas that have been a really big hit should be left alone and not remade in general.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

still not watching since the production company was involved with jang ja yeon scandal.

[shupagirl-uk.livejournal.com]

Who is Jang Ja Yeon and what scandal is this then?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

When I saw this article yesterday I was like, "You've made a wise choice because this remake will never be as good"

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

awesome news. i hope no one would take the lead role so that korea will leave this perfect jdrama alone

sm let's be real, i don't doubt that she got many offers, but we all know that she didn't turn down the drama for the movie.

i wonder who they will cast instead.

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

Thanks God!!

[zhoma.livejournal.com]

the production company will be Group 8 i heard? meh.

moreover i randomly thinking that the best person to play nodame is joowon, if only he is a she. lol
i am still hoping this remake plan slowly vanishing. that's all.

[xoshio.livejournal.com]

she probably didn't get it lmao

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

nah, she definitely got the part but the production backed out in the end.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

The best solution would be to cancel this remake all together

[shupagirl-uk.livejournal.com]

+1000

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I started watching the drama out of curiousity based on this article and yeah, definitely for the best that Yoona dropped it.

[volatilewind.livejournal.com]

how are you liking it? I think I stopped watching after the first ep a long, long time ago

[goldenrosalie.livejournal.com]

very good. nhf dealing with yoona hate.
while we are at it: let's cancel this whole remake idea in general.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i'm happy she didn't get the role. this drama will probably flop anyway.

yoona has a limited range, she needs to stick to romcoms. her emotional acting is so meh.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

It's better not to get the ire of everyone in Asia who's seen the original drama. Good decision.

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

cancel the remake anyway. don't want another mess like bof or hana kimi

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

I kind of wanted her to take the role and let her talent do the talk, being amazing in it and showing how versatile she can be as an actress... but eh, I guess she's not that good lol

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

MTE, I kind of wanted to see how it would play out if she ended up taking it and was great...but yeah, not happening.

[demonology81.livejournal.com]

Waiting for that day when they decide to cancel the remake.

[marsinblue.livejournal.com]

Yoona did well to jump ship. Yes, she would contribute to the sinking of the drama, but lbr it'll probably sink anyway.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

what a humanitarian.

[kotetsu.livejournal.com]

lmfao, nice one

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Good for her knowing to let go of things.
Just bec you get the offer doesnt mean it's for you.
Other idol actors needs to learn how to stick to roles they can do well in first.

[ironthrone.livejournal.com]

i was rly excited about it :( yoona :( she could've done so well
