As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Sisyphus honestly does not care about real world logic or science.
#Sisyphus movie series
But it is yet unknown if this series has anything serious to say at all.ĭespite an explosive and high adrenaline pilot, it is hard to take Sisyphus seriously. Perhaps it is director Jin Hyuk’s aim to express the futility of time travel and those who try to prevent the inevitable and alter the course of history, like Kang Seo Hae tries to do when she travels back in time to try and save Han Tae Sul from his supposed doom.

It is a cautionary tale of futility and unending frustration. In order to punish his hubris and defiance of the gods, Zeus ordered Sisyphus to roll an enchanted boulder up a hill for eternity. Sisyphus even tried to cheat death by chaining up the god of the underworld, Hades. Sisyphus was a Corinthian king who indulged in his iron-fisted rule, killed guests under his hospitality to perpetuate his tyranny, and fancied himself smarter than Zeus, king of the gods. To provide some context, the name is derived from Greek mythology. The pair is put into one dangerous situation after another, with multiple parties hunting them down for their own nefarious reasons.

He inadvertently finds himself teamed up with Kang Seo Hae (Park Shin Hye from #Alive), a feisty brawler from the future who was sent back to this time. Han Tae Sul (Cho Seung Woo from Stranger) is a once-in-a-lifetime tech prodigy, with the brains of Albert Einstein, the inventive genius of Nikola Tesla and the playboy characteristics of Tony Stark all rolled into one.
