Corazón de Cristal (2025)

Déjate atrapar y disfruta del proceso

Desde el primer momento es atrapante y no necesariamente te tienen que gustar los temas musicales o el rock, lo amarás en el proceso. Encontramos personajes que han logrado mostrarnos el como la pasión, la hermandad, el respeto, y sobre todo la resiliencia logran darnos esperanza para perseguir nuestros sueños.

Mediante Akane conoceremos una versión cruda y real de lo que probablemente pasamos las personas, las dudas existenciales o las comparativas que nos hacemos con otros, son esos pensamientos los que al reconocerlos y luchar contra ellos podremos liberar nuestro verdadero yo y seguir nuestros sueños.
En un sentido humano, no son perfectos, cada uno arrastra un pasado pero al hallarse juntos son el hogar del otro.

La banda en si esta conformada cuidadosamente y como dice Fujitani Naoki, cada uno produce un sonido único, diferentes a él, tanto que él los necesita para su composición perfecta. Se complementan. Fue genial ver lo que comprende ser un musico, la musa de los músicos, el amor y pasión por la música, la línea de trabajo, el proceso creativo(lo positivo y negativo), lo que transmite una canción de corazón a corazón, ese sonido que los conecta con ellos mismos, su banda y el público.

Glass Heart es una obra de arte, no pude evitar verla 2 veces y cuando pueda la volveré a ver, gracias a Netflix que salieron todos los episodios de una ...no hubiera podido esperar semanas. Me convertí en fan de Tenblank 😎♡

Los efectos visuales y musicales, todo es una obra de arte ♡ Satoh no deja de sorprender como actor y ahora como productor. Amo que el cast principal, quienes son super conocidos, talentosos y con trayectoria en Japón , ahora lleguen a mas publico internacional.

Me encantaron dos frases:
"Los prejuicios bloquean el entendimiento. Es preferible arriesgarse e ir más allá para dar la vuelta a todo lo que ya está inventado."
"Cuando encuentras a alguien que te gusta el corazón se acelera, cuando escuchamos la música que nos gusta el corazón se estremece. Las personas que amamos, la música en la que creemos, hacen ese sonido más fuerte en tu corazón. Lo hacen real. Es el sonido de la vida y nos pertenece sin ninguna duda."

Mis grandes deseos serían que:
-la novela tenga una versión en inglés porque en español es un poco difícil.
-hagan continuaciones del live action y podamos ver cómo es que Saijo Akane y Sakamoto Kazushi terminan casados así como muestran en la obra original (fuente Wikipedia Japón)
-tengan una gira mundial, por lo pronto tendrán su primer fanmeeting 11 de octubre.

When the music burned brighter than the actual plot!

Sometimes, music is the way to express ourselves, and the drama leans heavily into that. Music didn't just set the mood here, it hijacked the plot, stole the spotlight and not in a subtle way. It's the heartbeat of the story. With every strum, beat and verse, the drama tries to convey things its characters can't say directly and even when the writing slips, the music saves it all.

The story revolves around Saijo Akane, a drummer who her previous mates abandoned, and gets a second chance when she is invited to join the band "TENBLANK".

TENBLANK band members or should I say the "plots" :
✨Fujitani Naoki: He was the genius but eccentric composer with a messy heart and even messier hair. The creative nucleus of the group. I would describe him as intense, obsessive, borderline reclusive, but a fascinating creature. Under all that facade, he is a man weighed down by unresolved emotions and secrets he would protect at all costs. Takeru Satoh did a great job. I know he is a fine actor and it showed. I recently saw him in Marry my husband and the character difference shows his versatile range.

✨Takaoka Sho: He was the guitarist who didn't demand attention but had mine from start to finish! He was soft spoken, observant and incredibly skilled. Machida Keita completely stole the show for me. From episode one to the finale, his styling was absolutely flawless. From the turtlenecks to that effortlessly perfect long hair, every detail was on point. I know this isn't exactly about his acting (which is already well-respected, no need for testimonials there) but the look he served in this drama was iconic. He had me catching second lead syndrome so bad. I mean, imagine ignoring Satoh... and yet, here I am.

✨Sakamoto Kazushi: He was sharp, confident and wasn't afraid to speak his mind, especially when it came to challenging Naoki's authority. But I feel the writing didn't give him enough to fully bloom. We get glimpses of pride and conflict but it feels underdeveloped. Shison Jun did a solid job in portraying this character. He played the perfect tsundere.

✨And the newly added member was Miss Sajio Akane, the underdog drummer, as they say. She had grit, she listened, she learned and she put in the work, not just for show. Nothing she did felt fake or wasted.
Miyazaki Yu gave a genuinely likeable and grounded performance. She played the perfect mix of insecurity and inner fire. I rooted and cheered for Akane.

🔥 Wild card Toya: I know he isn't the official member of TENBLANK but he isn't the one to ignore. You just can't! He is the kind of character who could walk into a scene mid-chaos and steal every ounce of attention. He is a loud, intense bona fide rockstar who seemed crazy but beneath all that is a man who is haunted by choices, loss and love that never really left. He is both tragic and unforgettable. Some scenes definitely tossed realism out the window, but it served the drama and I ate it up.
Maski Suda devoured this role. At first glance, I didn't recognise him. He was raw, a bit feral and had the reckless energy exuding. You just can't look away.

But not everything in the mix felt right. While the music and the stellar cast were a win, the pacing was all over the place, especially in the second half. This would be just me but we (I) DO NOT need a romantic subplot to show up like the last-minute guest. The story would have worked fine without a romantic storyline, it might have worked better if I were being honest. We could have focused more on the other band members and their stories. I feel there was barely any spotlight given to them. There were times it felt like a one-man show, but then a group performance glossed over that feeling, but it definitely lingered more than it should.

Another thing I noticed and maybe this is just me (again), was how the energy and adrenaline would spike during each performance, but then drop off right after. It didn’t really carry over once that fantastic music stopped playing. The in-between moments felt a bit dull and I kept waiting for them to practice or be back on stage to feel that energy again.
Maybe this is what happens when you have full-blown performances. This wasn't just "slap a ballad or two on it" drama but it gave us actual bangers. I feel the music is the main plot here and the rest of everything feels secondary.

The cinematography was stunning, especially the rain shots. And the camera work during the concert sequences was pure artistry. It screamed budget in the best way.

Overall, despite the scratches, this was an entertaining and binge worthy watch. It didn't exactly stick the landing or maybe I had high expectations from the actual plot "writing", but the journey is worth it for the vibes, stellar cast and amazing soundtracks. It's the kind of predictable plot where you will be rolling your eyes a bit but still replay the songs on loop. Not perfect, but comfortable in its own ways.

If you have made it this far, thank you for reading my review! <3
I thought I was going to keep this short… and yet here we are lmao. If you decide to check out the drama, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
