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.

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 […]
