Glitch

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).

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.

Unfortunately the writing completely falls apart at episode five and beyond. The story moves in the opposite direction you hope for.

This series betrays the audiences trust by fronting as a movie predominantly about aliens. It then goes even further by betraying its own sub context about mental health with it's terrible ending.

• Acting is over the top
• Characters feel like a caricature or a parody of real people
• The series is twice as long as it needs to be
• The dubbing is mediocre, but, passable

I can only imagine how cool this series could of been if it leaned into its science fiction direction harder, and, maybe drop the green helmet.

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.
