Sisyphus: The Myth

If you are reading this, I come from the future to warn you to save 16 hours of your life and watch something else you might be interested in. I beg you to hit the play button on another show. The trailer does a good job of catching your attention, but sadly the show fails to follow through.

This show isn't the worst, but its story isn't well written enough, especially that awful ending. Sisyphus has all the ugly time travel problems multitudes of other time travel shows have.

A second season I could not hope for, because that would mean it would take all these talented actors' time away from doing other meaningful projects to try to salvage this average time travel show.

This is the most action-packed K-Drama that I have seen. I hate to give it a lower rating, which I did, but no fault of the actors. Both lead actors. Park Shin-hye and Cho Seung-woo did fantastic in their rolls - Park Shin-hye in the action packed gun scenes and Cho Seung-woo in his portrayal of the smartest man in the world - a computer coding genius and CEO. The lower rating is for the writers as it was confusing - are we now in the present, past or in the future? The ending is extremely confusing and if you have to go online to get an explanation and then find no one else gives a proper explanation either, then the writer hasn't done their job. I also don't care for writers that include story lines about nuclear war either as some of us are old enough to remember the fear we felt during the Bay of Pigs incident when we were told we weren't going to wake up in the morning. To use it for a movie theme I don't think is right and the word never used to be even uttered and now movies are made for entertainment. So All my stars go to the actors who did a great job and those who did the fantastic filming in the show - I am sure it was extremely difficult.

Sijipeuseu is worth the effort. It is Korean and subtitled but the writing and acting are good. The ending isn't the way I would have done it but the story is interesting and very engaging. Korea is putting out a bunch of great content the last few years. This show is one of the good ones. Give it a shot is if you like scifi within a mystery then you will like this.

This drama is cast OK, story still can be better when it is slight above average creativity. Directorship is also slight above average only. The effects is none, still a budget drama.

I only can give 7.3/10 which is slight above average because a lot of parts fall into less logical as the episodes nearing the end. Overall, its not that excellent as many dramas made in the year.

I recommend to watch this drama when you had nothing good to watch. !5 episodes are not that long so still OK. It seems that they will make Season 2 as I seen in the last episode that the way they made it.

This series caught my imagination from the first minute , unconventional , entertaining and puzzling .I am hooked and love the series. The main character is so unconventional and entertaining , not your typical rich kid stereotyping like other series . Just stick with it :-)
