I’m not a literature major but who cares? 🤷♀️ It’s my blog and I want to talk about a concept often used in literary circles: liminal space. I’ll do my best to explain it as I understand it. It’ll easy for you to grasp. The word “liminal” may look highfalutin, but you’ve seen its cousin […]
Sisyphus: Episode 6 Recap by @nrllee
I’m quoting nrllee’s Riveting Recap (RR) out here. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I did. Thanks, nrllee! I’ve added comments and pictures here. This is a looong read. Ep6 Night. A Field.

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 […]
Sisyphus: Episode 5 Quick Takes
Another episode, another set of theories. It’s never-ending. 1. What’s/Who’s Sigma? WEnchanteur, I’ll keep this short. They’re North Koreans. 🙂 lol. I wanted to say Chinese operatives because the uploader is a cheap knockoff, and didn’t pass stringent quality controls, judging from the mangled bodies of the assassins. But let’s go with the North Koreans […]

Please don’t read if you don’t want to deal with my crazy theories. Thanks. ****************** A. Double Time, or Double Bananas We’re ahead of the game.

Sisyphus: Ep 1 Seojin’s Diploma
I feel like we’re doing a thread for “Hospital Playlist,” @nrllee and @miracle23. @nrllee observed that the diploma on Taesul’s therapist, SeoJin, was dated 1980. Here’s what I found. 1. It was photoshopped. lol. The director should have hired a better props master. Here’s Seojin’s diploma. Here’s where it was copied from. I blacked out […]

Sisyphus: Eps 1 & 2 Timelines for Taesul and SeoHae
I have to recreate the timeline because it’s not as straightforward as we think they are. I’m going to separate Taesul’s timeline from SeoHae’s timeline and explain things as I go. Please bear with me until the end because that’s when it gets tough. 🙂 Taesul’s Timeline August 11, 2010 1. Date of “Quantum & […]
Sisyphus: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Some housekeeping rules for the newcomers and lurkers on this blog — One, like what I said in “Mr Queen” when I wrote my crazy mad theory for the drama’s ending, I don’t do recaps, and I’m not psychic. They are spoilers in my posts. I interpret what I watch and write my unvarnished opinions […]
Sisyphus: Eps 1 & 2 Explaining the Train Mysteries
There was a couple of Train Mysteries in Episodes 1 & 2, and I’ve one theory to explain them both. Here are the mysteries: 1. How did SeoHae escape the soldiers and agents of the Control Bureau at the train depot? 2. How come TaeSul didn’t wait to catch a glimpse of SeoHae? He just […]
