Anomalies

Awesome series! Binge watch all over and over again!

JEON YEOBEEN'S ACTING IS TOP-NOTCH! She gave me goosebumps with her amazing expressions at each episodes!

The whole cult scenes was scary but thanks to the comedy scenes, I was able to enjoy the the whole series!

I must say yeobeen and Nana chemistry was SUPERB! I want the friendship their characters had! I also love yeobeen and ryu kyungsoo chemistry even though they had little scenes together, they were still able to flow with each other, over all yeobeen/ hong jihyo brought laughter and tears to my face! Thank you! Jeon Yeobeen a World-class Actress so TRUE!

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.

So much promise. Concept sounded intriguing. But....sigh....falls victim to common issues that plague Korean television shows.

First, it attempts to weave so many plot threads into each show that it becomes a frenetic mess. There are too many people, doing too many things, at too many times. And often, too fast. Or slow.

Second, the minor characters inserted for comic relief aren't funny. They're annoying and whiny at best, severely cringe-worthy at worst.

Last, there are too many vague and ambiguous flashbacks that deaden the flow of the story. In fact, the flow in and of itself is a big problem. The show was 10 episodes. It could have been six. Maybe even five. I get it, the flashbacks are supposed to add mystery. But they just don't work. There's no emotional investment in any of them, or with any of the main characters outside the lead two ladies (who do a yeoman's job carrying this slog of a plot).

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.
