Agreed. The lower rating actually shows that even some fans of the actors didn't like this drama. Similarly, the show actually started out decently in SK, ranking 4th in viewership but the ratings went downhill throughout the show and by the last episode it was not even the top 5 most viewed show (the final two episodes ranked #9 in their respective nights, which is a very bad rating for a big show like this). People just didn't like it.

This website is full of fandoms who mass vote for their fave dramas or dramas starring their fave actors. So 7.8 is pretty low for their standard. Website like imdb has general people voting and reviewing the movies/tv shows, so the ratings end up being more objective. But for this website it's entirely subjective, so anything below 8 is considered mediocre.

For MDL the spectrum from what I've seen is:
5 - unwatchable | 6 - meh | 7 - average | 8 - good | 9 - great | 10 - Citizen Kane!

The Park Won song as also good.

ML's dedicated to FL was top tier, sadly I couldn't feel the same love from FL. I don't think she really loved him, so the ending was all the more tragic in my view.

I mean I can understand why they thought the story was slow and dragged but their complaints on the costume, hair and make-up is just stupid because they were really good here. The art direction and hair/make-up & costume as a whole was very nicely done here. Those complaints I find juvenile and nonsensical.

Well written article. Albeit I don't think Sisyphus succeeded in anything other than creating a script that's right out of South Indian film making. It was a daring project and they failed to live up to the expectations for me. Even as early as episode 2, the screenplay was very wobbly and it just got worse after that and I eventually ended up dropping it in the end.

Similarly, I actually don't think Sisyphus opened doors for the Kdrama industry tbh In contrast, I think studios would instead be more hesitant to diverge and divulge into large project like this again because Sisyphus wasn't a big hit and in its domestic market it especially went downhill in its viewership with two of its final episodes ranking among its least watched episodes (the penultimate ep was the least watched episode). I think they expected this to be a huge hit and at the end of the day, it wasn't.

It's a shame because the trailer was VERY promising. It pulled me in. But the end product is so different.

Wow. What a responsible director.

In the book it is Mork though right? Anyway, thanks for spoiling me. I couldn't find proper spoilers anywhere for this lmao

Okay. Thanks for the spoilers.

As a last question, the guy talking to Pi anonymously is Mork right? Someone down here said it's prolly not Mork and I highly doubt it.

That wouldn't make much sense though considering the guy shown till now is Mork. It'd be pretty bad choice if they replace him with another guy in the end.

I asked them to spoil me the novel, don't worry.

What's his actual bf/step brother's name?

That cousin is a weirdo!

I had to read it four times because it's really convoluted and worded in a weird way.

Already seen it, prolly one of their best works.

Wait why is Nan's lover kissing Pi though?

How are they related to Nan? And who does he end up with? Or is he in a throuple?

HIStory4, IDK about FUTS because I didn't even know Nan had a brother/stepbrother. Definition of incest implies consanguinity. People has just warped the definition of it now and use it in a solecistic manner.

Can you spoil me on the Nan story?

The synopsis had me going "what the f" lmao

His voice is very attractive indeed.

"I believe that the "Friend" that speaks with Pi may not be Mork after all" - The guy who's speaking in those scenes is clearly the actor playing Mork. You can even see his face.
