The drama does follow the premise but the story became a hard shit turn-off in comparison towards the anime/manga in which they made all the characters look really bad and completely out of place.
So here's a comparison list of the changes the drama version took.
Manga/Anime vs Drama (Character's personality)
Saburo (Nobunaga replacement)
In the manga/anime Saburo is very eccentric in terms of his own world aswell in the Sengoku period, he enjoys being with people despite being Nobunaga's replacement he accepts his responsibilities as a person who would repel the invaders of owari and conquer japan.
In the drama version he feels very liberal in terms of moral stance (killing is wrong type of people) and very awkward towards nobunaga family, Owari's citizen and to his wife. Basically a very over dramatic college student who doesn't accepts the sengoku era reality and litter it with his extreme liberal views to which the other characters in this drama just rolls over and accepts it.
Nohime/Kichou
Her personality in the manga/anime is that of a sweet simple girl which makes sense considering that it was politically marriage.
In the drama she acts like a bitch towards Saburo which doesn't make sense cuz brushing off political marriage like that will be brutal to the Mino province if Nobunaga's retainers got wind of Kichou's attitude.
Nobunaga (Akechi Mitsuhide)
This guy makes the most sense in the Manga/Anime the real Nobunaga abandon's his responsibilities where civil war about to break with an addition of betrayals plus assassination into that mix. He returns to Owari when Saburo lead the Oda victorious against Imagawa's large army, Nobunaga saw how prosperous the Oda had become and returns as Akechi Mitsuhide to assist Saburo. He believes that under Saburo's leadership the Oda clan would be lead into great times however he also discovered the purpose of Japan's conquest was to bring the nation into even more greater times for hundreds of years. Nobunaga devout himself entirely into serving Saburo when the Oda clan would face some moral choices (burning down villages and killing monks) Nobunaga would take on that responsibility. What makes the character so great was when Saburo found a way to return to his own world in Honnoji Nobunaga became very desperate to force Saburo to stay in the sengoku era.
In the drama he became very jelly of Saburo and wants his waifu back. Simple and dumb
I bet the Author of Nobunaga Concerto was cringing really hard in the drama cuz nothing makes sense NOTHING MAKES SENSE!
