This might not be important but there were news that the music director will be changed from ep9 onwards (the…
Im worried about that because BGM are very good until now. Dark synth wave music, or goosepump arpegio. Only thing I don't like is the horrible song (end episode 4).

after watching ep 5 and 6, the story is getting more interesting, and the plot is also getting better. indeed…
The scriptwriters made a risky bet, and we can see that it failed for part of the international audience. Many comments on various blogs are negative.
However, the Korean audience is different.

If you get a chance to see it, the special program The Penthouse (Hidden Room-Hidden Story 2) gives some clues about it. The presenters delve deeply into the intricacies of writing. It's different from the western making-offs based more on visuals. This leads me to think that Koreans are much more attentive to the meaning of the scenes and dialogues. They notice more easily details that we don't understand and are used to Korean scripts, which are now very elaborate, fine and full of correlations.

In addition to this :
- Patience! Creating eye-catching first episodes is recent. For a long time, dramas took time to pose a situation, during several episodes, before the drama became really addictive. With this habit, this audience knows the codes and can estimate the future quality of the drama, whereas a westerner will just see boring or incomprehensible episodes. Perfect example "Nine Times Travel".
- A certain form of irrationality. Korean audiences are accustomed to their drama styles, and more easily accept that a basic situation is based on unrealistic foundations, as long as the rest of the drama is coherent. Example of random drama "I'm not a robot". An ultra rich guy + an imaginary disease + a perfect cyborg created without his knowledge + cyborg face is that of the creator's ex-girlfriend + she meets the hero in a different way and by chance". It's impossible, but the drama builds on that by taking it seriously.

I think that Sisyphus is based on a rational logic with an explainable foundation (which we are starting to see now). However, the way in which the first episodes develop the script looks like something irrational. This will not bother the Korean audience.

You are like that since Season 1 episode 1 ?Did you call a doctor ? :-))
Really ? amazing. You should check my profile, maybe it could interest you. I don't have any feedback about first episodes of S2. W fan is the best for saying.
Also, probably Penthouse is my top10 dramas. ;-)

Title Sisyphus: The Myth Spoiler
Let me make sure I have this right-1). Tae-San warning Seo-Hae to stay away from Tae-Sul.2). Sigma has always…
As I analyze the drama, it's that. Then, it would be long to add more information, and there is a lot of unverified theory. The time loop is sisyphus myth and can't be changed. Then we know TS and SH can't be killed until, at least, the wedding. Sigma know that. Previous events are here to lead the timeloop in the same way it has always be. So, the sniper at conference could wait 5 minutes or one hour, he couldnt shoot at the right time. I don't know if it's this or because he got a timeshifting. For me , at first, my theory was Sigma is a concept rather than people, the force that make causality repeating the loop so there is no paradox. then the loop is like a quantum delayed choice experiment in a small portion of history, and don't affect future to change. Maybe Sigma boss is like a servant of gods, guardian of causality.

I think some viewers are disappointed by illogical scenes. And even for a science fiction story, that shouldn't…
It was preproduced I think. Unintentional comedy, or just make it not too serious, or "we laugh too much on the set" (see BTS). I was hoping for a very serious show at first. But hey, now as I like the drama, I just have to accept these weird comedy moments, I can't do else. It add to the fun when we analyze the scenes on the blog I visit mostly. ^^

What the script didascalies of the drama looks like :

Episode 1: Cheon Seo Jin is mad as hell.
Episode 2: Cheon Seo Jin is madder and madder.
Episode 3: Cheon Seo Jin is hysterical because she is so mad.
Episode 4: Cheon Seo Jin is hysterical to an unprecedented degree and pierces eardrums.
Episode 5 to 13: Cheon Seo Jin is hysterical to the power 3, then 4, 5, etc. up to 100.
Episode 14 to 17: Cheon Seo Jin enters super-sayan hysterical rage mode 1.
Episode 18 to 20: Cheon Seo Jin is mad with rage at super-sayan level 2 and flames of hell come out of her eyes.
Episode 21: Cheon Seo Jin increases her rage at Sayan-God level and produces a Kaioken of screaming and lightning eyes. The penthouse is disintegrated with half of Seoul.

I really can't watch this on our TV.... I almost broke my phone because of PENTHOUSE out of anger....
Look like a typical nervous breakdown, like the characters in the drama.
Did you try to raze a table instead to break a phone ?
or demolish a vase with a golf club ?
It should be less expensive. ^^

Damn, stunts are bad, it's comedy. Some gunfight lack nervousness. Episode 5 gunfight was not bad, but it could be better about speed and decisions choices. I don't know if it's the writing or directing. Sometimes, enemys look like to wait too much. Except maybe roof chase, because here I suspect more a timeshift ability from Seo Hae, when she change roof. As it's not explained yet, you take it as huge flaw when you watch this first time.

I've the feeling some action are well prepared (appartment fight) and some other are just choregraphed on the fly, depending of the set (street fight), I think about this after watching BTS.

He didnt fully betrayed... Hum... just a little bit.
But he don't have choice, he promised her daughter ! It's a bad friend, but a good father... hum... good, if you think cheating is ok for helping your daughter of course. hey hey.

Episode 2, appartment fight scene was great. First time I see that in a drama (with LUCA elevator scene). It get inspiration from action-movie like The Vilainess. Of course, it can't be so much succesfull and well-prepared. But still, it's huge for a drama. Some other hand to hand fight are nice too. Gunfu fight episode 3 with the sniper killer. Or first fight in the street, episode 4.

So far I'm loving this show. It's too early to rate it or leave a review, but what I can say is this: this is…
It is a brain-intensive drama, requiring concentration. But fortunately, the action is clear, and you can also see it without thinking too much. However, one must be more patient to understand the mysteries in this case.
There is probably no alternative universes here, hopefully.
