Since the premiere of the new KBS 2 TV Monday Tuesday drama 'Tomorrow Cantabile,' which premiered on October 13, 2014, the national viewing rate of the drama has not been as high as expected, especially considering that its counterpart, "Nodame Cantabile," the Japanese version of the drama with the same content, was a hit drama in 2006.
Many fans of the original work, "Nodame Cantabile," and TV audiences are saying Shim Eun Kyung is one of the main reasons why the drama has such a low national viewing rate. They criticize the main actress Shim Eun Kyung for playing her childlike role in a serious tone, when the Japanese actress who played her role in "Nodame Cantabile" in 2006 played her character in a more funny 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.
