Jo Seung Woo Stars in the 2023 Korean Revival of The Phantom of the Opera But the Promos are Missing One Crucial Element

"The Phantom of the Opera promotional image"

Musical The Phantom of the Opera was my entry into the world of stage where it’s been a lifelong love affair. The score and songs remain excellent to this day but once I got older I realized how sus the entire story was haha. Everyone loved the Phantom over lame Raoul but honestly the former was basically groomer/kidnapper. Anyhoo, the … Continue reading →

Person and dog sharing a loving moment.

Man, if this man wasn’t already an A-list star in Korea and much beloved in the industry, not sure how much better of a person he can be and he still one ups himself.

jTBC 10th Anniversary Drama Sisyphus: The Myth Ends Disappointing Ratings Run and Exits into Drama Hell Holding Dead Tight to its Nonsensical “Sci-fi” Writing

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2021 by ockoalaApril 8, 2021
Collage of intense phone conversations and emotions.

Drama friends, we have the first K-drama turd of 2021 and the first holder of the crown is unsurprisingly Sisyphus: The Myth. A sole source of comfort for fans of both leads is that it might get lucky and pass it on soon depending on what Mouse keeps pulling out of its Doraemon pocket of serial killer tricks. But I … Continue reading →

Episode 3 of Sisyphus: The Myth Delivers More Preposterous “Action” Sequences and Halfway Exposition and Gets Ratings of 6.167%

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 24, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 24, 2021
Dramatic scene with varied characters and actions.

There are viewers that claim jTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth is a fantasy drama and not sci-fi, and by episode 3 I not only have to agree I would say it’s straight up comedy. It’s funnier than anything I’ve seen recently and every scene is (un)intentional comedic gold because it defies human behavior and basic tenets of logic. This episode … Continue reading →

Sisyphus: The Myth Episode 2 Rockets Up to 6.677% Ratings as the Action Plunges into Bipolar Absurdity

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 18, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 18, 2021
Dramatic scenes featuring intense emotional moments.

I, too, chuckled at the problems pointed out in episode 1 of Sisyphus: The Myth, from when Seo Hae kept crying to her dad, to her escaping from 20 armed agents by climbing on top of a train (suitcase in tow) and then sitting up there wind blowing of course, to the really stupid in every way plane crash to … Continue reading →

Promotional poster for "Sisyphus: The Myth."

Premiere week continues in K-ent and this Wednesday saw the arrival of new cable network jTBC 10th anniversary Wed-Thurs time slot drama Sisyphus: The Myth.

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2021
Happy dog laying on the floor.

This is like too sweet and heartbreaking of a story not to share, thankfully it has a happy ending. With COVID-19 lockdowns one side effect is the explosion of pet ownership as people look for companion and have more time at home to take care of a pet. Shelters are reportedly emptying out in the US and that’s great, but … Continue reading →

Female soldier aiming a rifle in action.

I feel like jTBC is doing a great job of hyping up its upcoming drama Sisyphus: The Myth by always emphasizing that it’s the drama to celebrate the network’s 10th anniversary. But the worry is that the drama ends up not being as good as people expect due to the hype but eh, why worry now and let’s just enjoy … Continue reading →

Three characters with glowing symbols on necks.

I thought February 2021 was like crazy far away when I first heard that Park Shin Hye was signing on for a sci-fi thriller drama Sispyhus: The Myth with Jo Seung Woo. Yet now it’s like a month away, and wishing to slow down time clearly doesn’t work because I need to stop the next few years before the Koala … Continue reading →

Main characters expressing concern in Sisyphus.

I didn’t know that upcoming jTBC sci-fi action drama Sisyphus: The Myth was to commemorate the network’s 10th anniversary. Clearly it’s a tentpole production with top stars Jo Seung Woo and Park Shin Hye, and from the teasers looks like money was put to use with the action scenes and special effects. With that said the niggling worry with K-dramas … Continue reading →

Main characters expressing concern in Sisyphus.

Wow wee, what a great pre-Christmas surprise! jTBC stealth mode dropped the first teaser for its early 2021 thriller K-drama Sisyphus: The Myth and I say stealth because there hasn’t been a single still released so far.
