It’s been a while ever since a Sci-Fi intrigued me this much and made me wait eagerly for every single episode week after week, while creating theories of the plot.

Time travelers, holding onto black suitcases for their life’s?
People carrying regrets, weighting their hearts, and blinding their offensive vendettas?
Brokers facing their own inner demons while smuggling personal belongings for quick cash?
Conspiracy lurking within the most prestigious or considering trustworthy roles?
Sisyphus is more than that. It delivers more than those questionable compositions.

Usually this theme is quite tricky to tackle down, without falling somehow along the main plot or the sub plot even in certain details, however, Sisyphus was conceived to speculate and engage the viewer to use their wits and brains in order to figure out the order of events presented.

It doesn’t take us too long to witness how the brilliant mind of TaeSul works even under pressure or admire the sheer tenacity of SeoHae to achieve her goals, and even the brave stubbornness of JaeSun to try and help the best he can, along the storyline and how it unfolds ‘till the very end…

Unlike other dramas about time paradoxes this one has a good and quite seemingly structured script, and the way it’s produced is well made.

Still it’s never simple to try and understand the intricate way time paradoxes are settled.
So, to not be too confusing nor boring, this one the contrary it has its dosage of action.

Now, I know that not every story is perfect, and certainly this one will have it’s flaws too, although it might differ from viewers point of view.

In my regard it was the whole romance.

It seemed unnecessary to me and somehow cringy, given the whole background and I also know it might be a parallel version of her at some point but in the current timeline where TaeSul belongs and when the main event is about to happen she is merely a child. I would settle for admiration or companionship to battle against the ordeals, rather than the romantic plotline.
But I guess it’s the way it is…

Also, the character HyunKi subplot with the whole lack of humanity he showed seemed like a waste of time in there even if just for plot, it was messy and overall a filler to complicate things.
People might think the same about JaeSun, but still I preferred his character.
If one shows how a tragedy can rip one’s humanity, then the other shows how compassion towards strangers works even in times of need.
Maybe both are opposite forces that the writers teamed up and inserted into the plot for morals.

Although the storyline might have its pros and cons when connecting the past and future, it works out in a certain way, to some who enjoy it from the very first episode and are engaged into the plot there are things that are acceptable and others that rub off.

It all comes down to how much knowledge one has of this kind of subject in the first place.
There will never be a perfect drama when it comes to this.
But still, if it can fascinate the viewer to continue watching it, then it’s a good sign.

Sigma was quite the antagonist, his plot and strategy always one step ahead kept things on edge.

The whole present and future gaps and view panoramas too, were actually a good visual representation of what she’s trying to stop and the past and future she’s trying save.

And it all links to TaeSul the man of the hour. The genius who can either doom or save mankind.
If only he could have trustworthy people around him until the very end…

All the cast and production team did a remarkable job on their roles.
The OST is super catchy, mainly the song Stay (Tempus) by GSoul at the ending credits, the lyrics and meaning fits the main theme perfectly.

And despite knowing it’s not part of the Ost but more like the plot, using references of BTS since SeoHae is an ARMY is either clever or predictable nowadays am I right?

Yet the fact that they used Spring Day no less, in the apocalyptic and dystopian future seemed quite meaningful given the message present in the lyrics.

It’s a song of a sad event and definitely dwells in longing.

Here it happened a tragedy and the survivors are longing for something to hold onto.

Curious how Seokjin in an interview once said, “I like to look to the past and get lost in it”, about how the song represents him, and in here future SeoHae ends up travelling to the past, so maybe she gets lost into it, in order to do her role and finally save not only TaeSul but everyone else.

It’s a soothing song to heal both victims and survivors, given its purpose. And here is no different.

Overall, this story won’t disappoint you that much in the long run well until the very last episode… ends are always hard to come by, so it seems, it's interesting to say the very least.

Then again if you’re like me and quick into creating theories then this drama is for you.
