Both involves pianos. They also play a sonata for two pianos at the beginning. If you like Page Turner, you will like Nodame

The piano play invokes memories of Nodame. The male and female characters unknowingly allows them to grow and improve. The love of music and most important enjoying it is the gist of being happy. Nodame drama is a bit more complicated as it involves the whole orchestra. Nevertheless both potrayed beautiful piano playing

Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is the vocalist of the band "The Stupid" and also plays the guitar. He is known for his good looks and his strong passion for music but is in reality a cold person who is uninterested in non-music related things and has no dreams nor plans for the future. Shin initially likes a dance professor at his university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won. Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu Won's grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age, and his biggest wish is to have his granddaughter trained to become a traditional music prodigy in 10 years' time. Trying to live up to her grandfather's expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing besides traditional music. As Kyu Won's friends are fans of "The Stupid", she was forced to go to the band's concert with them. There, she saw Lee Shin performing live and is immediately captivated by him.

Both are about musical students making their way in the world and falling in love. Both are based off a Japanese anime/manga.

I kept getting reminded of Nodame while watching Kahogo, I’d say it’s the same kind of feel and vibe. The FLs are similar in their behaviour, although for completely different reasons. The plot or themes aren’t really similar but you need to be in the same frame of mind while watching them.

This is the Original on which Symphony's Romance is based on. There is the Manga and even an Anime.

Both of the dramas have a perfect guy and a, rather dumb, girl. Girl falls in love with the guy, they (kind of) start living together and the comedy ensues!

Both are about girl musicians............. ......................................................................
