PLOT SUMMARY:
Based on the hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya, this is a fun-filled quirky romantic story of 2 very opposite people.

Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Shinichi Chiaki, is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia.

They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki transfers into the Conductor Division, leads a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

So, this drama is the best Japanese drama EVER!!! And is the 2nd best Asian drama ever (the first naturally being It Started with a Kiss). I fell in love with this drama after the first episode. It is completely original. The humor is delivered perfectly and the chemistry between Hiroshi and Juri is palpable!

The cast was perfect and the story is original, fresh, and entertaining. They stayed mostly true to the manga and I really LOVE the manga now (which I read after watching the drama).

I can't wait until the special comes out in January!!!

Um... wow, way to start a new paragraph for each sentence/word.

I don't know about getting a reward for the longest post if you actually say in your post that you're just buying time until you make your post longer...

However, about Tamaki Hiroshi being HOT, I completely 100% agree with you!
