Anomalías

I'm usually not into shows about aliens or outer space (with a few rare exceptions), but I watched Glitch anyway in support of Jeon Yeobeen because I'm a fan of her. I saw some clips of the show online and it looked like it might actually be entertaining. Glitch has some really funny scenes as well as some relatable ones that tug at the heartstrings. I love a good urban fantasy series, thriller, or mystery. Glitch has those elements of sci-fi and suspense. That being said, I also lost interest at some points because some storylines seemed to drag on with no real substance while others felt rushed and unfinished. There were so many plot holes. I was left a bit confused on a few things after finishing the whole series. I don't think there will be another season, so there will never be any further explanation. All of the actors had great chemistry so I enjoyed that aspect of the show. There was potential with the church / cult storyline, and I typically like movies and shows about religion and the occult, but Glitch really fumbled it. This show had the potential to be a lot better, but I was left feeling like it was kind of pointless. There's only 10 episodes and each was so chaotic with too many things going on and side characters with their own agendas. Glitch fails to develop these characters and storylines enough. It all falls flat. Some of the characters also did some really dumb things which annoyed me because they're all supposed to be grown adults aged 30+ lol Overall, the show is highly unrealistic and frustrating at times, but it's mostly entertaining if you can get passed all that. I think if the ending had been better, I could say it was a good show. The ending especially was anticlimactic. It was bizarre and confusing in a frustratingly lackluster way not a cool thought provoking way. I found myself thinking things like, "That's it?" and "What was that even supposed to mean? What was the point?" . Glitch could be quite enjoyable if you don't take it seriously at all and you're not a critical viewer. If you're watching it for the aliens, you'll be disappointed. It's not nearly as much about aliens as you'd expect. Give it a chance if you like K dramas with a supernatural twist. This show isn't for everyone though.

The story is an adventure with protagonist against her head and against aliens.

I loved the all the side characters, each group delivered different kind of comedy and events.

All the episodes are eventful and light nothing serious but still interesting.

I'll refer to hong ji-hyo as the main lead, and huh Bora as the second lead according to their appearance order.

The main lead was so good in her role, her acting felt natural and sincere which is a hard thing to deliver in a drama-comedy. I loved how she looked natural unlike female lead in Korean series where they usually act and dresses to look so pretty and cute even if it's not needed. I have seen her in night in paradise and she really stand out from most Korean actresses. She is beautiful and talented.

The second female lead was a bit over the top with her acting and hairstyle. She was suppose to be the boyish free girl, but she wore full makeup all the time withe perfect curled hair and childish outfits. Her facial expressions "even the silly ones" were camera-posing like expressions. Don't get me wrong she was fine but being in the same frame with the main characters made her acting looks tacky.

Finally, The dynamic between the leads was built on mi-school brief friendship. And the second lead is upset until now and blame the main lead for it, and that was funny and immature for grown woman. She felt the an possessed ex girl friend and it was silly. She remided me of thst one episode of friends whene ross meet a hight school friend"brad bitt" and he He makes fun about how they used to be obsessed with dinosaurs while Rosa is still geeky about it. But in this series she is still a 15 mentally. They definitely have chemistry but thats not everything.

I don't really get why this has such a low rating. As far as KDramas are concerned, it managed to avoid tons of clichés we usually see. And that was a welcome and unexpected surprise to me. The subject matter is aliens and cults so if that's not someone's cup of tea they probably won't enjoy the series but personally I'm into stuff like that and this was fun without getting too scary or super lost in detail. I won't compare it to US productions of the same subject matter but since there's none I've seen so far from South Korea I think it deserves a higher rating than the 6.2 it has right now. If anything so that we start getting more KDramas that are different than the usual.

People seem to either love this show or find it disappointing. I loved it an see no reason for such a low score. I didn't find it slow or too long, and I loved the ending, or pehaps I should say several endings.

The chemistry between the two leading ladies is really good (they seem to be friends off screen too). Will watch this again.

The theme of aliens, mental health and the cult could have been explored somewhat deeper, as it raised a lot of interesting quetions. The effects were reasonable and I liked the plot twists.

The ai theme is really about love and helping each other through good times and bad, Even the cult was based on love, but a love that has become twisted and abused by others, not for money, but power.

Epi 8 Ok not an 8. Finally Cap gets something to do. The daughter becomes alliance. I can see a vague ending coming.

Epi 4 I'm four episode in and will definitely finish. For sure the alien story is secondary to the friendship between the two leads. The club with the 3 dorks, mom and dad, coworkers are for comedic effect. I suspect it's to do with the cult religion.

However I'm a bit worried about NaNa or Im Jin-Ah. Nothing wrong with acting just she looks really frail and skinny. Borderline anorexic. Hope someone is helping her.

The back story probably holds some key information and the young kids actually are pretty good. The cop seems a tad under use. The infiltrated Kim dad looks interesting. Hopefully the end is not convoluted and mess.
