The recently premiered KBS 2 TV Monday Tuesday drama 'Tomorrow Cantabile,' which aired its first episode on October 13, 2014, received a lower national viewing rate than it had originally expected, with all the hype about the premiere of the drama, which is another version of "Nodame Cantabile," the 2006 Japanese hit drama that is also based on the cartoon of the same name.
The national viewing rate for the first episode was 8.5%. However, the national viewing rate for the sixth episode decreased to 6.6%. Part of reason for the decrease could be the drama fans' comparison of "Nodame Cantabile" with "Tomorrow Cantabile," and overall quality of the drama. 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.
