Kim So-Hyun is great as a princess (It's because her I still watch the drama, her, the little white dog, the funny child girl, the big bad, the king, the SML and herborist). But also, she has a posture and sophistication that doesn't fit with being a former assassin. She is also far too sensitive, as seen in her confrontation with the big bad of the story, when she could very well come and assassinate him in the night, and threaten him just as much as he does, rather than leave crying.
Also, her murderer friends are far too sympathetic. The whole assassins' plot has no consistency as far as the characters' personalities are concerned. She's supposed to have killed a lot of people, in cold blood, without even the slightest grievance against them. Which should make her a bit of a sociopath. I say "a bit" because it's a backward and brutal time, and there's not as much emphasis on killing someone.
It's possible if she live past 2021, return in time again. So there is 2 copy of adult Seo Hae. Then loop isn't…
It's kind of nice that a drama like this has good resilience to audience anticipation. The mysteries are strong enough to withstand intense deciphering. With the drama "Train", I guessed far too many things too quickly.
Why Na In Woo looks uglier here than in Mr. Queen? He's acting is not even that good either. Also no chemistry…
I feel a real discomfort with the new actor, although I find him competent in his performance, and physically quite strong. But his character now looks like any random character, the actor inspires this sort of generic look without personality.
More seriously: I feel he looks more like the heroine's father or her older brother. This is very disturbing. Like a big age gap not sustenaible. Appearance way too mature and out of sync with Kim So-Hyun. The emotions that used to exist between the two leads, that fresh and naive love story, are all gone. I don't feel that magic anymore.
Ji-Soo was not the best actor, but he had youth, raw energy and a small dose of stupidity making him suitable for the role as portrayed. Maybe because he is a former judo champion, that also plays a part. Besides, he had a natural chemistry with Kim So-Hyun, since they already shot a drama together, with the same symbiosis.
I've been assuming that the second skeleton was probably HTS, but is it possible that both skeletons were hers?
It's possible if she live past 2021, return in time again. So there is 2 copy of adult Seo Hae. Then loop isn't the same than previous one. Then, both die. But even in this case : as there is 2 Seo Hae in the same place, the skeletons should merge ?
They never did that on others dramas with actor change. By the way, I'm curious to watch the original rush with the previous actor. And also, more scenes with the cute little white dog. ^^
I'll take your recommendations and add Love in sadness and Love story in Harvard to my plan to watch!!
Here 2 extracts without spoiler, from episodes 1.
LIS, with Park Ha Na + Ryu Soo Young : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohuIXYTGw_w I watched randomly this drama (just liked the poster), I just take a quick look at some scene of episode 1, and find the "self-portrait" scene, make me want to watch that. Here (no subs, but you get a beautiful background music midway) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_ALNsdnqHk
LSIH (don't miss the last line at the end of the scene, lol!) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI4yFoDhMLk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL8ASMVOGUM Here actor Kim Rae Won (yes, same ML of L.U.C.A drama !) + Kim Tae Hae. I watched the drama because of her, no actress is much believable about love but it's just my personnal feeling. She has a way to be hard to get, or to give hard time to ML in all her dramas. Kind of "this woman is too beautiful for you, looser".
The girl is true that she is too innocent and sometimes annoying but I found it funny lolThe drama is really good…
The character is as vital as Akiyama's, one cannot go without the other. She is the perfect antagonist not only of the game, but of the world in general (since the game is an experience of the world), and of its psychological dysfunctions.
I think Sigma is Eddie Kim. He wants to somehow have power over people unlike how he is right now, treated like…
Or... Eddie will remain a loser until the end. :-) Ive doubts about Sigma-Eddie theory because Sigma is first traveller. But when ? 2021 ? In this case, he don't have the same face.
Regardless of whether the drama is really good or bad, this review is a bunch of nonsense.
- Already, a review on 2 episodes or even 1.1 episode, what's the point? - A total misunderstanding of what is just presented in the episode: The heroine's father was never the brother of the hero. Where does this idea come from? We can see perfectly the two characters, who don't look alike, moreover. - An aberrant appreciation: the background music rated 1.5, while one of the best teams of musicians are at work, and that it is heard! - Same for the actors : how can we rate this 1.5, when from the first scene, the main actress offers a more than satisfactory performance ? - Ask the kdama to stop making SF ? While there is a whole history that shows how they improve little by little in this genre, since the first very simple dramas like Rooftop Prince, to finally arrive at good things like Nine Time Travel, then continue to offer dramas better and better in this genre. It's by persevering and improving that we reach something, not by giving up!
So here, I'm not even criticizing the fact to speak badly or well of the drama. I'm just criticizing the nullity of this review. I don't understand how one could appreciate SF with such a lack of logic.
I know what you mean, I used to never quit any drama until the end, even if I got tired of watching it, but now…
Unfortunately, this is irrelevant, and claiming to be an expert on a genre is not valid either. I'll just explain why: I'm also a huge fan of science fiction. My favorite time travel movie so far: Primer. I have seen countless movies and series. All seasons of Stargate included. I also read tons of SF books. Of course, Frank Herbert, the complete Dune x3. The writer Dan Simmons, who uses time travel in Endymion. And many other writers of all kinds. I'm also simply interested in science. Cosmology, quantum theories, etc. And it is precisely because I like science fiction that I find Sisyphus perfectly satisfying from this point of view, in addition to having a script of a rare quality and sophistication.
If anyone is highly addicted to penthouse and want something to watch for the wait, watch Mouse. Y’all are gonna…
I'm not sure to want to watch that. I dislike story with serial killers. It's so boring and cliché. Even in a drama like "the girl who see scent", I like the drama, but I watch it for rom-com, and the serial killer part is just the usual thing as plot device I really don't care about. Only story about serial killer I liked was "Diary of a psychophat" because it's an huge parody of this kind of story. For me a movie like Sev7en is boring. Any movie about serial killer is boring. The writer have to torture their mind for finding the specificity of the killer, and all have been already made about this. Let's say, movies Saw was fun because it's something else than just investigating and trying to find the murderer. Yes, I dislike police investigation story too, except if it's sherlock holmes. But you know, cop, detective, trying to find the serial killer.. yaaawwn.
So, do you think there is still a chance I like Mouse ??? :-D
Anyone knows why are they changing the BGM director? Really enjoyed the BGM previously but ever since episode…
I don't know why, but it's a bad idea, since the musician team was already the best one. I don't know what do the BGM director now, choose others musicians ? I hope no. But there is many new musics. Some badly placed (don't fit the scene). New musics are not so good than previous one. Not enough dark, spatial and deep. Music on the emotional scene in the park (Seo Hae meet her mother) isn't as good than music of the same kind before, and not exactly appropriate about reinforcing emotion. Still, there is good sound effects on some scenes and a work about this. I need to rewatch ep 9 & 10, and focus more about that, like I did with previous episodes. Maybe I missed a good BGM because I was too focused on action during first watch.
Also, her murderer friends are far too sympathetic. The whole assassins' plot has no consistency as far as the characters' personalities are concerned. She's supposed to have killed a lot of people, in cold blood, without even the slightest grievance against them. Which should make her a bit of a sociopath.

I think you already turned crazy!
:-DDDDD
I checked "No" for all critics. 1/10 or 10/10 ones.
It's comments, not reviews.
