Sisyphus could've been a top tier series BUT here's my opinion on why it isn't (Coming from a fan)
Well, as long as I remember the first time i watched Sisyphus I was amazed. Overall I don't have any problem with this series, in fact I pretty much love it. But the main problem I have with it is also a key factor: I couldn't even force myself to like Seo-Hae even the slightest bit.
Her past felt always the same, hiding, helping her father, sleep and repeat, not only that but her main purpose just seems extremely forced: Who wants to save a random stranger only because a diary that seems yours said it? Also, not only that but the first three episodes I was just... Not interested at all because of Seo-Hae, her character seemed just extremely plain and that is just... Not it.
Another thing I want to comment is how HTS (Han Tae-Sul) and KSH (Kang Seo-Hae) just don't fit at all in a romantic way, they are polar opposites, and I suppose that was the thing the directors were looking for but I just feel it extremely forced. I wouldn't have minded it if it wasn't forced but sometimes I swear you can see how HTS's actor doesn't enjoy the age gap these two characters have.
In my opinion, the series was amazing but the only things that failed for me were these, even if I don't like these points I pretty still much glaze it every day and moment I can since I do loved HTS's lore backstory and character development, I was interested in his character since the first moment, and same thing happens to me with Sigma. Sigma's become my favorite k-drama character of all time.
Not all the things that happen in this series are bad, this is just my opinion and I'm sure a lot of people hated it as much as loved it but I just thought of doing this review because I needed to take my Seo-Hae hate out... I just can't lwk stand her and I hate how a lot of people just overglaze the hell out of her when she didn't do nothing special aside two or three things. She didn't even get to save and stop Tae-Sul in the end lmao. Not doing any hate towards her fans, I just dislike KSH and the poor write they gave her, she could've been EVEN better.
I mostly just blame it on the directors though...
