Man, why couldn't it have been Bae Doona instead of .....

I want this to be good for JSW's sake, bc if he gets scared out of dramaland before FS season 3 happens (please drama gods), I don't know what I'll do.
But I think I'm going to wait and hear reviews on the whole show before watching it. I don't want to get invested in an action-packed beginning only to fade off into a nonsensical ending (looking at you God's Gift)

I will watch, I am a fan of both.

Park Shin Hye is the best Korean actress I have ever seen in my life with perfect acting skills, mesmerising beauty and exuberant charisma. I can't believe any human being in the world would even want to think that she is flawed in any way. We should all bow down to her greatness and support this show to the best of our abilities.

Ok with that being said, I do hope the story does hold up. There are just so many fantasy elements that could go wrong: the one that stands out most to me is the Groundhog Day / Edge of Tomorrow -like sequence with the missiles reversing, that feels like the leads trying to undo some sort of alien invasion. The production value seems really high with the blockbuster feel present throughout the teaser so it does seem the director can be trusted for now but with the story looking to be plot heavy it's a ride or die with the writer's abilities.

Did she scream "Appa" ?

The end reminds me Stargate.

It looks like a big production with a good casting. I just hope the writter knows what she/he is doing.

Oh...Sisyphus will air in February~ While waiting for Sisyphus to air, how about bingewatching another ancient Greek titled kdrama aka Kairos first? It's also a fantasy thriller but no aliens/monsters are involved 😆

*still in promo mode*
*it's the ancient greek title..it's calling me to promote 😂*

I hope they have most if not all of it filmed before airing. Seems like a lot of stunts and actionwork and it would suck if they had to rush that at the end. Anyways, looks to be an interesting drama. I getting a kick thinking how I had assumed PSH would fill her career with rom-coms, but she has lined up quite a few not-romance roles this year! I'm surprised to see Jo Seung Woo in another drama so soon!

In my mind, this drama was going to be different (more passive), but God the preview was great, I wasn't expecting much from the drama as I felt like there was no expectation around it, but in almost 90 seconds it really really did. wish February would come.

(I still can't relate the title to the plot, and this plot reminded me of how colonization began in Stephenie Meyer's book "The Host")

The problem with K-drama action shows or sci-fi shows is they set up this mythology, and never follow up with the rules set up in their mythology. Add to that they spend like 10 episodes or so getting to Point B, and then by that point, there's so much technical jargon that its becomes over convoluted. (Aka: Alice/TKEM). Meanwhile look at Firefly/Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles/BSSG/or The Expanse. UGH. The trailer though, visceral and attention getting. I was intrigued in a good way, but is that enough to last 16 episodes for?

The trailer was awesome! I just hope it will be entirely pre-produced before airing to maintain the great CGI and stunts. The leads look great. Jo Seung-woo rocks the paranoid computer genius look. That hairdo does not become him, but it sure does the part.
I'm also really looking forward to Sung Dong-il as evil, he did a great job in Real.

With JSW in it, my interest in this one increases. I'll look forward to how PSH will make me feel about her character in this one. Hope it's a fun ride.

I think this will be a fun role for Park Shin Hye. I"ve only seen her as the heroine needing rescue. Hopefully she can play a strong female role here; it would be fun to see!

Very Terminator / Stargate type.....looks interesting. Looking forward to this and Cho Seung-woo in it :)

The teaser looks promising. Excited to see PSH in an action drama and felt she and JSW are a great match. Definitely looking forward to it.

So, I have to ask.

1. Who would you have in the drivers seat - the action hero or the nerd?

2. Who would be doing the wrist grabbing - the action hero or the nerd?

Great trailer. I hope SISYPHUS: THE MYTH will be available on a legal streaming site in the US.
Also I want to commend beanies for the tone of the comments that this NEWS post generated. This bodes well if SISYPHUS is picked to be recapped.

Aww, my dear Jo Seung-woo. I may watch it for him.

Love love love Park Shin Hye. SO excited that she's been involved in so many projects lately <3.

The teaser looks amazing. I'll watch this for sure.

Looks expensive, haha. I have to say I'm a bit skeptical of expensive action/thriller kdramas... Both in terms of quality and their (in)ability to make back the production costs... but hopefully Sisyphus has more tricks up its sleeve.

Park Shin-Hye has been doing a bunch of action roles lately, and honestly, I think it's a good fit for her.
