The K-Drama industry might recycle tropes as often as any other entertainment juggernaut, but one accusation can never grace their doorstep: failing to provide unique story concepts. In that regard, Sisyphus: The Myth is a particular highlight. The Netflix-distributed limited series was highly anticipated before it hit the 2021 market, thanks to its all-star cast, acclaimed director (Jin Hyuk, The Legend of the Blue Sea), and Korea's local JTBC network promoting Sisyphus as an "anniversary special" to mark their tenth year on the airwaves. Blending dystopian sci-fi with mystery, action, and romantic elements, Sisyphus: The Myth isn't for the faint of heart, but in a positive way; the celebration drama fires on all cylinders with enough high-octane thrills, intriguing twists, and apocalyptic stakes to rival a cinematic blockbuster.
