The Soundtrack Saved the Story, and I’m Not Mad About It
I absolutely LOVED Glass Heart! It’s a full 9/10 from me. The plot did get a little messy at times, but honestly, the AMAZING MUSIC made up for it. Every song, every performance, every little melody just pulled me right in. As a total music junkie, this show had me hooked from the very first episode.The musicality was insane — like, genuinely top-tier. You can tell everyone involved knew what they were doing. And yes, the fact that all the actors are super good-looking definitely didn’t hurt either 😅 It just made the whole experience even more fun to watch.
Now… my only real complaint is the romance subplot. I don’t think it was really needed. I went in thinking the relationship between Sajio Akane and Fujitani Naoki would be this wholesome mentor-mentee thing, but it got weird fast. Their chemistry didn’t really land for me — honestly, Naoki had way better chemistry with the guitarist Takaoka Sho (just saying 👀).
Still, despite the messy story moments, Glass Heart completely won me over. The music, the energy, the cast — it all just worked. Honestly, a good rewatch for the music and performances, not the storyline though in my opinion 🤷🏾♀️.
