Starring popular A-listers Cho Seung-woo (From dramas such as Stranger, Stranger 2, now playing the role as Taesul) and Park Shin-hye ( Pinocchio, The Heirs, Memories of Alhambra, playing the role as Seohae), the sci-fi thriller romance show’s premise put in basic terms are that Seohae, living in a desolate world, time-travels to the past to prevent a nuclear war from erupting, destroying the entirety of South Korea, while Taesul is trying to uncover the truth of the mysterious disappearance of his brother. Keep in mind, this review will go through MANY SPOILERS of the drama, so for those who haven’t watched it, skip to the conclusion at the bottom of this review.
There are noteworthy aspects to discuss so let’s start with those.
#Sisyphus netflix review tv#
K-Dramas have dramatically increased their popularity by folds in recent years due to the flow-on effects of the Hallyu Wave and while most are decent depending on the type of viewer, labelled as TV network ‘JTBC’s 10th Anniversary Special Drama’, Sisyphus: The Myth (known simply as Sisyphus on Netflix) falls short in delivering its core concepts. In summary, when I was watching through this drama, that’s what it felt like. For those knowledgeable in Greek Mythology, you would know Sisyphus was a devious and deceitful god banished to the underworld where he’d endlessly attempt to push a boulder up a steep hill, only for it to be cursed to roll back down, leaving the fallen deity stuck in the valley with the pointless non-yielding chore.
