Joseon Exorcist Leads the Joynews Poll of K-ent Insiders Pick for Worst Drama of 2021 Followed by Penthouse

Historical drama poster with three characters.

The counterpart to the Joynews insider poll on the Best Dramas of 2021 is also here, the same group of over 200 K-ent professionals were asked what their pick for Worst Drama of the year was. I was not expecting to see this drama make the list since it aired only 2-episodes before it was yanked but by a Titanic … Continue reading →

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 →

Sisyphus: The Myth Episode 8 Doles Out the Exposition But Still Doesn’t Provide Any Motive as Ratings Stay at 4.848%

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 11, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 11, 2021
Emotionally charged conversation about artwork.

This is probably my last Sisphyus: The Myth post, it’s not interesting enough in either good or epically bad ways (anymore) to devote time to parse the happenings. The failure of this drama, as evidence by audience feedback and the dropped ratings, is across the board from awful script to lame directing to underwhelming acting. If the world ended because … Continue reading →

Episode 7 of Sisyphus: The Myth Continues Ratings Decline to 4.633% But Starts to Give More Exposition with a Side of Awkward Rom-com Crush

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 10, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2021
Three characters in a tense conversation scene.

Some old movies and dramas, albeit dated, still hold up on rewatch. The original Terminator holds a near and dear place in my heart not for Ahhhhhnold but for it’s decisive execution of its story. In that time-travel story, the moment our male lead (swoony Kyle Reese) reaches mother of the future savior Sarah Connor and they escape from the … Continue reading →

Sisyphus: The Myth Introduces Kim Byung Chul as the Big Bad Head of Sigma and Replaces Musical Director Starting with Episode 9

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 9, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 9, 2021
Man in suit with glowing symbol background.

It’s kinda do-or-die week for jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Sisyphus: The Myth, heading into episodes 7-8 which would then wrap up the first half of its run. Last week’s ratings dropped but it has a chance to at least chalk up the messy and nonsensical sequences in the earlier episodes has worldbuilding pains and get its act together for the crucial … Continue reading →

Ratings Keep Dropping as Episode 6 of Sisyphus: The Myth Gets 4.972% Ratings and Gives Audiences More Loopy Action Scenes

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 4, 2021
Couple sharing an intimate moment at night.

I owe Kim Eun Sook a mea culpa, I thought she wrote the narratively most frivolous time-travel/parallel universe drama with The King: Eternal Monarch but now the crown goes to Sisyphus: The Myth. The other wacko time-travel drama Alice was actually quite good for 2/3rd of the run and then fell apart like a flaming train wreck in the final … Continue reading →

Episode 5 of Sisyphus: The Myth Drops in Ratings to 5.240% as the Narrative Tumbles Fully into the Crapper and Characters Lose All Brain Cells

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 3, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 4, 2021
Dramatic scenes featuring intense characters and action.

You know Google Translate. I love it, it helps to quickly get to the essence of what is being said but I know it captures neither nuance and may be prone to make mistakes so I factor that in when I use it. jTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth is a drama written by Google Translate, I’m sorry but anything else … Continue reading →

Sisyphus: The Myth Episode 4 Ropes in 6.178% Ratings as the Leads Spend Entire Time Running Away From Two Sets of Pursuers and Still Not Sharing Full Information

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 25, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 25, 2021
Dramatic scenes featuring intense characters and action.

jTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth is officially a totally dumbass drama. It’s so bad it defies sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, thriller, or even basic requirements of storytelling. It makes Alice storytelling look like a Pulitzer Prize winner masterpiece. The drama is the dude who goes through the uploader with a 10% chance of coming through and emerges as a blobby mess … 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. Like its ostentatious sounding title would presume, the drama is a large scale sci-fi action thriller with Jo Seung Woo as a genius engineer scientist and Park Shin Hye as maybe a survivor from an … Continue reading →

Three characters with glowing symbols on necks.

2021 is starting to feel real, it takes me a few weeks lol to really transition into a new year, and I’m also starting to get mega exciting about the upcoming dramas. Next month jTBC will premiere its 10th anniversary celebration drama Sisyphus: The Myth with Jo Seung Woo and Park Shin Woo, battling to prevent a dystopian future and … Continue reading →
