Sisyphus: Bloopers or Easter Bananas

We know what a blooper is. A blooper is a mistake in the filming. It can range from the actor flubbing his lines to props going wrong. “Easter bananas” was coined by WEnchanteur because of my obsession with bananas in Episode 2. The original term is “Easter egg” which means an object or image that […]

Sisyphus: Ep 6 The Man on the Tracks

August 6, 2001. The time traveler who was found on the tracks is NOT Taesul. The director was trolling us. The man is… this mystery guy who drew the cat. That right ear (see pic 1) and those fingers (see pic 3) don’t match Taesul’s. Plus it doesn’t make sense. Taesul would have remembered the […]

Hello, Me: Episode 3 Review

I said in one thread that if I were to compare the kdramas I’m watching this month to food, then: “LUCA” is an ethical-sourced veggie salad with tofu with sriracha vinaigrette. “River Where the Moon Rises” is jjajangmyeon with all the black noodles sticking together in a clump. “Sisyphus” is deep-dish, supreme pizza, and soda.
