The Confusing Myth
It's been a while since I’ve been so intrigued by a k-drama, especially one that stars Park Shin Hye. She does a lot of popular series, but I feel like there are some parts where she doesn’t show her full potential therefore, I pass on a lot of her drama. Surprisingly, this is one of the series that I think she did an awesome job on her role!! I like her as a badass strong female lead rather than a timid typical teenage girl in love. I would like to see her do more action roles.
What I like about the series:
The way how this was directed, written, and how it was edit was brilliant. It kept me watching from beginning to end. I typically skip “thriller/mystery” Korean series because they don’t give me the same excitement. To want to see this series to the end was kind of a shock to me.
The characters. Most typical Korean series has this tough acting man who can solve all problems with his fist, his looks, or his money. Han Tae Sul solved everything with his brains and well his money. I like to say he doesn’t have the typical eye candy that most Korean leads have but that is not a bad thing. He is super charming, and I adore his character! Plus, Park Shin Hye is a sassy female lead who knows she can win a (gun) fight with anyone.
The bad:
I still haven’t figure out what with the ending. The ending between the leads felt like a dream. Also, you get this glimpse of Sigma who is a better person but yet he still has a bit of crazy and plans to go after Han Tae Sul as a stalker??
One of the things that K-drama does well is dragging on plots causing confusion, cliffhangers, and excitements to get your peak interest. In Sisyphus, I was close to saying "forget about this" and read the recaps. This was a point in the series, you felt you were just being drag along and you still don’t have a clue about why this all started that it was starting to be upsetting but you kept watching. I’m glad I did because it was a change of pace and it was something that you just have to be patient about. Personally, I would have preferred a little snippet of the “why”.
Again this is personal preference but I don’t think there was a lot that leads to the romance of the lead characters. I know when you’re put into a situation where you’re fighting to survive and you only have each other to depend on, romance can develop but I was expecting a bit more than just that.
Overall I say 8/10 because of the excitement I got from watching a k-drama in a while.

These journey is way way better than the destination.
This story is one of those where the journey is way way better than the destination.I like the scientific approach they did on the time travel concept, even though there's still some holes on it. I like the actors casted here, they were really good.
I like the adventure they had while trying to save the world. I like that even with all the chaos, they still managed to fall in love. Even though its a love that's "You and me against all odds" kind of thing.
I almost like everything about the this show, except maybe the ending. Which is really typical with this kind of genre. It's a bit underwhelming for me.

I mean it was a okay kinda mystery show, but I just didn't get it at all. - I tended to skip a lot of the episodes because I felt like there was a lot of scenes that were the same. There' wasn't much things going on, it felt like one of those like rewind things and the story was soo confusing. And the ending confused me soo I don't know if I really liked this

Must watching
The cast, cinematography good. I need rewatch it twice for knowing the plot, but it was good drama. Both of Cho Seungwoo and Park Shinhye chemistry soooo balance and that's look beautiful with so many conflict between them. Idk about the ending, but i will say the ending was good and it really suit for the plot.You must understand about time travel and parallel concept bcs you should think twice to understand the plot if you dont know it. Overall this drama was good and i will rewatch it again later. 8.2/10

DRAMA JUST FINISHED, IM CONFUSED
DID FINISH THE DRAMA! I RATE IT 8/10 . ABOUT THE ENDING, DID THEY BOTH MEET ON DIFFERENT REALITY OR TIMELINE. OR THEY ALL JUST STUCK IN A NEW LOOP, WHERE THEY SACRIFICE THEMSELVES AND WATCH THE NEW TYPE OF SIGMA TO ARRISE AFTER RECIEVING THE NOTE BOOK IN REGARDS ABOUT THE THINGS HAPPEN IN THE PAST SUPER CONFUSE ABOUT THAT PART. IM STARTING TO REALIZE THAT THEY ALREADY CHANGE THE REALITY WHERE SIGMA ON THAT REALITY HAVEN'T SUCCESFULLY INITIATED A WAR BUT NOW SEEING THE NEW SIGMA GUY. DOES HE HAS A NEW PERSON TO CONTROL? LIKE THE GUY ON THE FORBES MAGAZINE ... GUSH I DO HOPE HAN TAE SUL AND SEO HAE BEEN TOGETHER ON OTHER REALITY. AAHHH GUSH EXPLAIN TO ME I'M OUT OF BRAINCELLS :CWas this review helpful to you?
Actually really entertaining.
A fine mixture of science fiction, big brother, great actors and a tempting sound track.The story itself was new to me in the genres and this alone makes a great plot (its not that easy to develop new stories after 100+ years of motion pictures).
Some hickkups might have been needed to correct tho. An aircraft flying in 5000 KM(!) height is more a case for NASA than for a Korean airline. A small tip to those creating stories: although its science fiction, the parts in the "here and now" should be at least a bit realistic. And this flight level is simply reserved fo satellites. (or simply: as realistic as a real world hospital movie in which the main actress would wear highheels during station duty...)

Much potential but ruins itself
I won’t lie, the beginning of this drama really got me hooked, I was very interested in the plot and the characters seemed intriguing and likeable, I was ready to dive into the world of this drama and be immersed the story, but then they started doing too much. I really didn’t like the extended flashbacks. It’s like something interesting is happening in the present and now you choose to plug in a 30 minute flashback? Wtf? I legit skipped most the flashbacks because the content was so obvious. So for me this 16 episode drama was more like 12. The characters were cool but the plot was unrealistic at times. When I say that I mean that it felt the writer was trying to hit the 16 episode deadline so started filling in gaps with a whole lot of CAP. The story didn’t make sense at times like why would you do that in this situation? Overall… cool drama I guess, the beginning gave me Vagabond vibes but definitely not as good as Vagabond I guess the only thing we need to see is if the ending is as shitty as vagabond but knowing the CAP in this show it’ll probably be shittier.Was this review helpful to you?
Always on the run
Okay the thing with dramas involving time travel have so many plot holes. So does this one. Regarding people of present and future co existing together, and also the events that follow, the changes that newly take place etc; there are so many questionable factors. Nevertheless not a bad drama. U just shouldn't think too much or things won'tmake sense. Also, I personally dislike dramas where the leads are always on the run. So I couldn't give this more than 7 rating. Same with l.u.c.a
One more thing, I hate how this site asks me to write reviews with atleast 500 characters of length. Just accept my review ffs

Yeah, let's not.
I physically and mentally can not bring myself to finish this shit show.I tried. I really tired. From the synopsis to the start of the show, I was hooked. Even with the ridiculous CGI, it was amazing. But as it went on -- the show just got worse and worse to the point it was like dragging my eyeballs across sand and broken glass. I would try multiple times to start a episode and end up cutting it off 5 minutes in (if even that)
Even then, I tried to give this show the benefit, I still tried to watch and I started noticing a pattern (mind you, i tried watching this as soon as it was airing) that any and every time views dipped, they would drop something BTS related and views would rocket again. So believe it or not, they really did use BTS and their fans for their own gain for a shitty show.
I honestly feel like this show would have tanked from the start if they hadn't seen the reaction that BTS poster gained.
-- and can we talk about that scene though?
Why would you use Spring Day? I'm disgusted they used a song for a tragedy in this show. (but the setting -- I don't care. Don't come at me. It's a show, fake. That tragedy was a real thing. And not only that, the actress didn't even know the song. I don't know what the hell she was humming/half-assed singing, but it wasn't what was playing. (Spring Day)
I'm sure to some, the show got bad ass after all the cringe, frankly, I guess I will never know. As much as I hate dropping shows, I just can't do this one. It makes me frustrated.

This Show is SciFi not scientific documentary realism
So, many people complaning about timetravelling or related to it. Is everyone here timetraveller? Since when was there ph.d degrees for time travelling? Then constant nitpicking minor sci fi scenes. Not a single science fiction show in history is scientifically realistic that why its called fiction. Nobody complains about how in star wars laser beams blowing up ships work. Because you were suppose to suspend disblief anything scientific related. This is Devils deal you make going in watching show with writer. In exchange, you get fun action scenes, amazing story, or realistic characters making hard descisions for situations. This is core you are suppose to criticize and analyze.It started ok. A redemption story of Han Tae Sul for his brother. They constantly showed flashbacks his brother taking care of him and fully financially supporting him. The regret and guilt for abandoning his brother. However, the writer all sudden gives up on the story and started pushing more romance scenes in ridiculous situations. Like, they go on trip to amusement park to have fun, when they are being chased by people who have cctv control, drones, etc. This is bad writing. You can't just give up on main plot to have fun and put yourself easy target to be captured. Also, how many times has he constantly gone back home and magically escaped from future time travellers and military trained soldiers with cctv and drone control? It became to ridiculous to watch, the writer gave up on main story, and repetitive scenario of them getting caught and magically escaping was boring.
