originally dropped this last year but picked it up again this year and stuck it out for ZXC.

I am a big fan of the anime and yeah..... this fell flat as an adaptation. Boring and dragged on. The romance was nice though. FL was annoying as she literally acted like a child, whining and moaning like she is 3 years old and spoke like a baby too. I don’t think this is Jelly’s fault, but the way the directors had attempted to translate Nodame’s character into this drama (although, Jelly’s acting was not top notch either). Her outfits were really nice in this though. ZXC did a good job as LZY (and it is cool he actually plays the piano!) but goddamn, they aged my guy 20 years with that hairstyle LOL

The camera work is like an american sitcom (strangely resembling The Office), random and dramatic zoom ins, shaking camera like it was a vlog. Not sure what the directors were going for but not a fan.
Overall, an alright watch if you treat it as if it was a standalone drama and not an adaptation of Nodame Cantabile. Drama was nothing groundbreaking but nothing terrible either. 5/10.
