Anomalías

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).

Some parts of the early episodes had some uncomfortably long scenes, so I was worried the whole series would be like that. Fortunately it picked up, with only occasional filler dialogue.

I didn't love the ending. I didn't hate it either, but was rather anti-climactic and still left some questions unanswered.

The acting by the leads was outstanding, and they had fantastic chemistry as their friendship rekindled. I'm really noncommittal about the sidekicks, and they were just kind of there to me. But the dad, the director, and scary cult leader stood out for their roles.

Anyway, it's a nice enough series, had some thought-provoking moments, with not too many episodes. I do recommend.

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!

I want to say I loved this show, but I really hate when a show brings out very unsettling and angry emotions, when characters make idiotic decisions kind of like in a horror movie lol. This is only the second Korean show to make me want to rate it poorly and I normally Love K-Dramas I have seen over 20, It has a good story/plot, and the acting is superb, characters are believable, and the show isn't repetitive or too long. I was able to watch most of it without being sidetracked or bored and i only had to skip ahead once at a part that pissed me off but I rewatched the part I skipped it's like a Korean X-files movie without the FBI. Enjoy it.

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.
