NOT PERFECT BUT STILL AMAZING !!!
DO NOT listen to the low reviews. If you want a unique, interesting and mind-blowing science fiction drama, then THIS IS FOR YOU. But if you're one of those OVER-THINKERS who crave for a PERFECTLY LOGICAL and PERFECTLY PERFECT dramas, then DO NOT WATCH THIS.
A lot of people complain about the logic of this drama. But all I can say is: Don't overthink. Don't act like a genius. After all, this is fiction. Not real.
The topic of time travel is a reaaalllyyy difficult one. And sometimes it really becomes not logical. Because that's what it really is. And the fact that they made an awesome story about it while still trying to be kind of reasonable... is very much appreciated by me. I also have a lot of questions and doubts about the things going on here, but I just chose to go with the flow and enjoy this amazing drama. And I hope you will too.
Story [9.5/10]: Okay. The story in general is fantastic. The war, the bombs, the backstories, even the tiniest details— they're all connected. I love how they fill the episodes with backstories because those just hype up the mystery aspect to it. And everytime you see a backstory, you're gonna be like "oohhh so that's what happened. That's why blablablaa." The backstories explain a lot of things here. So don't complain that they have backstories as fillers. Add. Note: It's sometimes confusing what is the present and which is the past, but just try to connect the pieces and you'll get it.
Some people also complain about the plotholes. I mean, I know there are some things illogical about this drama. And some plot holes.. That's why i rated it 9.5 and not 10. But even tho it's sometimes confusing, it just triggers my curious and I end up liking this more.
PLUS this drama has a bit of EVERYTHING. Mystery, drama, romance, etc.. I can't even count my tears in the last episode!
Acting/Cast [9.5/10]: The actors/casts are great. I saw what I expected from them. But there's just something a bit off with the acting... I don't know if it's the fault of the scriptwriters for writing not-so-good lines. Maybe it's their fault and not the actors' fault. But still, as the drama goes on, and because of the skills of the actors, the acting still turned out pretty nice. I guess I was just expecting more.
Music [9/10]: I defenitely love dramas with amazing sound tracks. But Sisyphus is just not my faves in terms of the music. I mean the soundtrack is pretty nice but it just wasn't one of those that will completely get me to love it. That everytime I hear that song, I cry and remember the drama. It's just not one of those. Especially because I've watched a lot of dramas with amazing soundtrack like Hotel Del Luna, Goblin, and Extraordinary you. But don't get me wrong, I still like the bgm and songs in sisyphus... but I think they have to work on more with the music choice and timing.
Rewatch Value [8.5/10]: I defenitely would want to rewatch this. But I'm not too crazy about watching it again because I guess I already got what I wanted. Tho I think sometime in the future, I'll rewatch this because it's amazing.
Overall [9/10]: I WOULD DEFENITELY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WATCH THIS. I LOVE THIS. SERIOUSLY. Don't let the negative reviews confuse you. This is great if YOU LOVE SCI-FI and if YOU'RE NOT A PERFECTIONIST.
I hope this helps. This is my first time writing a review and I just finished watching it yesterday <333
