Anyone as long as she has a magical aura, captivating when playing piano that's the most important thing.  Anyone who doesn't look too pretty, a girl next door type who becoming prettier when you stare at her long enough.

no doubt!, actress Yoona can do this role very well. She's not afraid to make funny or weird gestures and expressions. She is not afraid to destroy her own beautiful face.
She is a young actress. very talented and INTELLIGENT, she only has 4 projects done, but in every one of her dramas has captured all the different characters very well. Yoona has few dramas but she can improve faster than many other actresses who have over 10 years working in the acting and having more than 14 projects made.
Many actresses are always repeating  the same role year after year, but Yoona is very different from those actresses, she is making different roles, it is important for a real actor making different roles. Now this is a new role therefore a new challenge for her and I think Yoona will work on this new role very well, she is known for being very dedicated and always give her best.
In present, she is one of the best actress-idols.

Point is this role should've been given to an experienced actress

@reneeloves I disagree with you. because none actress was born with experience, all have had their opportunities to keep improving year after year, Yoona has just 4 dramas, but she deserve have more opportunities to continue improving and demonstrating that it can to act very well, I think Yoona and many actor-idols are much better acting than many other actresses and actors, Yoona can improve even faster than many other actresses who have ​​more than 10 projects made (between movies and dramas) and over 10 years in acting. To have more experience does not always mean to be better than which has few experience.

@landoxenf I disagree having more experience 99% of the time means your better . What I mean is that I doubt Yoona has had time to take proper acting classes and she gets her experience from actually acting in a show that will be put on air . For this reason there are many actresses who are fantastic but most of the time they don't get the role because the director wants the show to be popular overseas and for popularity. I think Yoona did decent in Prime Minister but I don't know if she can pull Nodame off.

I don't hate Yoona, but seriously. This character is too hard for her, if this drama still start shooting with Yoona is the main character, so sad to say this you guys will receive nothing . Lee Bo Young or Han Hyo Joo is acting much much better then Yoona. This character asking for a lot of skill and acting experience, and Yoona just a new actress, too hard for her to play as this difficult character. I was so disappointed with Hana Kimi just around first 3 episodes. I hope the Producers can make a final decision that doesn't ruin their drama.

Lee Bo Young has 35 years old and has more than 20 projects made (among dramas and movies) and have only 12 to 13 awards in acting. Han Hyo Joo has 27 years old and has more than 15 projects done, has 16 to 18 awards in acting. Both have lots of work experience and, but Han Hyo Joo has more awards than Lee Bo Young. Both are dedicated solely to the acting, and modeling just few, but they are most famous for being actresses. Yoona has 24 years old and only has 4 projects made but has 8 to 9 awards in acting, she is not only an actress she is also idol and model, and a very famous idol and model, and she also is one of the best students in their college. Therefore her time must be spent working as an idol, model, actress and also has to invest time in her college career, so its time to pursue acting is few, but Yoona has demonstrated improve faster than many others actresses. Thus Yoona is considered one of the BEST young actresses. Maybe that Yoona did not have much time to pursue acting as she should be it, but actress Yoona can improve faster than others actors. Thus she deserves have more oportunities at acting. * Moreover Nodame is a girl of 21 years old, hence Yoona is more perfect for this role

@landoxenf i dont know if you said that only because you're yoona's big fan or what but for me (i like yoona too) i try to be realistic here. Are you already watch the japanese version? The japanese version is so damn good and funny. But the role to become nodame is very hard because nodame is an uniqe even some times a weird and dirty person. So i dont think yoona is the right actress to do this. And because ueno juri is so good when acted as nodame i think it will be harder for yoona. Once again i only try to be objective and realistic here. Maybe you can try to watch the japanese version first

1st: I'm SURE that 85% people comment in this article never saw Nodame Cantabile.

2nd: I'm sure that 99.9999% haters in this article never saw one of Yoona's drama, therefore haters don't know her job. The haters just live of the delusions and lies. 

3rd: When was reporeted that Yoona confirmed as female lead for 'Nodame Cantabile' (NC), many people just started looking more information about this anime/manga/japanese drama increased gihly the number of searh, views and reproductions of NC 's videos/information in just 5 days. The NC's videos version anime/japanese drama were on youtub.e for many years but just now in just 5 days have increased fastest the views and reproductions, what does this mean? this mean that the prsence of actress/idol/model Yoona is doing that NC can be many more popular INTERNATIONALLY, i know that NC manga/anime/japanese drama had its own popularity, especially in Japana among fanatics of anime/manga/japanese drama, NUT NOW in just 5 days NC manga/anime/japanese drama have HIGHLY increased popularity internationally with the strong presence of Actress/Idol/Model Yoon, even among people who know nothing about anime/manga or japanese dramas. She is Amazing.

continue....

@landoxenf in all honestly i think IU acts pretty well. She's really diverse. From Dream High, to You're the Best Lee Soon Shin, to Pretty Man she showed she can play different characters and show different emotions as well. She can be cute, serious, funny, childish, mature and etc. Yoona did a great job in Love Rain and I haven't seen much of Suzy's acting other than Dream High and Big. Eun Hye on the other hand has had more experience and also showed an array of emotions and different characters. I need to see more of Eunji. So far i know her as having played strong characters in Reply and Trot Lovers.

@ikertmsdo coz Kids today became aware of Nodame coz of Yoona, that's true But the search/views became exponential coz of Internet Availability now even a beggar kids can surf the internet, almost every one can access thru internet using cellphones, tablets, etc. etc. Not like before during Nodame time Internet Surfing / Internet Streaming is not for everyone, you can only access thru computers which is expensive even the Internet connection are expensive only people who can afford can use it.

I'm an avid follower of japanese manga/anime/live action. So I know what I say. I just don't trust korean-remake at all.. All the korean remake sucks.. Sorry to say but that's how I felt. That's why I say, if they cast Yoona because of the her presence/popularity, they better make sure the drama is perfect or good because the japanese version is pure epic. Backlash from NC followers can be quite harsh if it is not on par. What I'm most afraid is that they might focuses on romance more rather than music. (T___T) Not to be rude, it is more of a question, can Yoona play the piano perfectly? Since I'm not her fan, I just watch her drama.

cotinue...

4th: No one can physically look like nodame, including Ueno Juri (actress Japanese), Ueno Juri sis not look like nodame anume/manga when began casting in japan, why? because people have a poor imagination can't see anuone like Nodame anime/manga when the drama japanese began then people freshly began to see her as nodame . The Nodame mnag/anime is just a cartoon, it's just a product of imagination, even the actress Ueno Juri had more weight that Nodame anime/manga, but matter? no, did not care, right! because no one can look exactly like the original picture until why us don't see the final product, that in until we dont see to actress "J or Y" playing that role, we can't see nodame, Physically, nodame manga/anime is not a pretty girl, her face is some chubby and her body is very finely thin, I think Yoona is too beautiful and attractive for nodame role, but that did not care because actress Yoona can do it very well, she is not afraid to destroy or break her pretty face and she is very good at acting.


TEHREFORE, STOP JUDGING, NOW!, when the drama begins airing then and just then we will begin to comment about if she looks or not looks like to Nodame anime/manga . ( original nodame  manga/anime, NOT nodame japanese version).

Well, stop judging is quite hard.. especially as I said, most of us have watched NC. And since NC is pure epic that, people will have high expectation, and failure is not an option. Comparison is something that will happen.. before, during and after the drama. Ueno Juri has the 'nodame' presence.. You can tell just looking at her like that.. Maybe as you said "Yoona is too beautiful and attractive for nodame role", her nodame presence cannot even be imagined.. That's why many people are quite puzzled / unsatisfied / thinking production team getting idol for popularity purposes.. But if they say mean things because they purely hated Yoona, then go on and hate them. I came from the nerdy otaku manga/anime/drama/movie. So I'm not an anti that's for sure. Please understand us as we really don't want an epic live action version to be complete shatter, a laughing stock or worst offended the NC followers. I do wish them the best of luck. If me or others can see "Nodame" instead of "Actress Im" or "Yoona SNSD" or anything along those two, then you can brag all you want. But supporting her just because you are her fan, biases will happen. I just want a good drama. Not fake ones that make you cringe. To The Beautiful You disappointed me big time. So please understand. Comparison is something that just happen if we watch another version and the another one.

It is confirmed that the author has nothing to do with the Korean casting Yoona will be cast. 

I won't judge Yoona I'll give her a try but her acting is mediocre and I find it insulting there giving away a very hard character to play to a idol.

@khnelst I assume your talking about when she was in that Super Junior video ? A lot of trainees do stuff like that before they debut . In 2007 Yoona debuted in her first acting role AFTER she was in SNSD. I'm a sone but I don't know if Yoona can play off the role I think she did good in Prime Minister&I though.

@khnelst not to mention Yoona trained for 7 YEARS TO BE AN IDOL. Not an ACTRESS. I doubt Yoona has taken acting classes just as much as the professionals. What's sad is in the korean entertainment business to many idols get acting jobs just because of there popularity .

I was so happy to hear that Do Hee was casted because I think she would make a good Nodame then I found out Yoona is playing Nodame............... 

okay I don't hate Yoona but really??? 

I'm not only doubting her skills but if she gets finalized for this for sure and she ruins the role.... I'm going to be flipping tables. SM you ruined it once already with Hana Kimi, so please do us a favor and don't ruin one of the best manga and drama once more... I beg please....

KBS Han Sung Woo PD, "Yoona is the likely cast for the female lead but we still need permission from the original producers. Because of that, we cannot confirm Yoona quite yet. The original producers want a 100% identical casting to Ueno Juri. We can't do anything if they say NO..--.... if is information true ..is obvious that they need to pick another "actress", because  yoona cant consider and "actress" only because she was in dramas .-_-, exist a limit to made "parodies" or try to reinvent a good dorama..because it need to be really actors and actress dont because they look pretty or handsome..really is not for these reasons..SM..~~ tsk.

Nodame should have a bit of weight, bit chubby face. Yoona  have the carefree characteristic, but not nodame kind of face. 1st Idol come to mind is IU for me. IU have the nodame Face and Char and familiar with lots of musical instrument.

@khnelst it wasn't her fault. I think she played her character really well. I thought Jang Geun-suk didn't have much of a development and the plot is not most of people styles. Coz it's basically about a guy using women to get what he wants. It's mostly the plot and not the actors themselves

I, as a Yoona fans, understand and accept the negative comments from Nodame Cantabile's fans to Yoona. I know is hard for you guys to accept a remake film of the Cantabile in Korea and the main cast is Yoona because of her goddess face and personality doesn't look like the Cantabile. But since Yoona's an actress, she would learn how to portrait like Nodame. In fact, she has to work really hard for this drama if she accepts it because this drama is truly a awesome J-manga and J-drama. As if yoona wants a good remake of this film, she really needs to work hard for it. But Nodame Cantabile's fans, can you guys please give a chance to Yoona to learn how to be as crazy and messy as Nodame?? Just a little cheering words will be awesome. If you never give a try to a person, how would you know this drama is going to be a failure? I'm not helping Yoona nor Cantabile's fans. I'm just hoping everyone that is now against Yoona can give a chance to her to have a try for it. I would accept negative comments through her if the drama is going to fail. Not as a stubborn fan or whatever, I just hope you guys can give a chance to her and give a little encouragement to her. To the Yoona haters, i know you guys wouldn't accept what i say, but it's okay. I can't change your mind, I just hope so you guys can give a chance to her. I bet this drama is going to be interesting as in Yoona and Joo Won is making a great couple and they're quite friend though :) Give a little hope on Yoona's acting although you can't. This is what I hope so. Thank You So Much for reading this.
