Netflix presents ‘Sisyphus: The Myth’: Save the girl, or save the world!

Published

on

 

Genius engineer and co-founder of the Quantum and Time company, Han Tae-sul, becomes embroiled in a secret world of time travel conspiracies after a mysterious woman saves him from an assassin!

So Han Tae-Sul (Cho Seung-woo), master engineer and inventor, is a bit of a jackass at the beginning of the show – rude and short with everyone less smart than him, which is pretty much everyone, slovenly and perpetually late, suffering from the loss of his admittedly strange older brother Han Tae-san (Heo Joon-seok) who died some while ago. Or did he? Because Tae-sul would absolutely swear that he saw his older brothers body go flying across the cockpit when he was using his enigmatic brains to save the sabotaged plane he was flying in from crashing. And that’s hardly the end to the strange occurrences that begin plaguing Han Tae-sul!

Kang Seo-hae (Park Shin-hye) is a survivor, a warrior, sent back from the future with a sacred mission to save Han Tae-sul no matter the cost, sure, but she’s also a girl from a nuke-filled future where Korea, at least, is empty and echoing and reclaimed by mother nature. She wanders the ruins of a beloved amusement park, dutifully adhering to hKang Dong-ki (Kim Jong-tae), her father’s, survivalist rules, collecting cute pink plushies to hang from her backpack; she paints the futuristic gun she defends herself with in shades of pink; she clutches an ancient (what else?!) pink journal as a lifeline to help in her critical mission of saving Tae-sul. And all that pink has a tendency to make Seo-hae a target for the militant survivalist groups of nuked-Korea’s bleak future, unless she and her father can make it to the Uploader, the machine of the future that inevitably sends people back to the past, trying to stop this terrible future from occurring. Which, as any lover of sci-fi films can tell you, is a horrible, paradoxical idea.

And then there’s the Control Bureau and its manipulative boss Mr. Hwang (Choi Jung-woo), who sends new recruit Jung Hyun-gi (Go Yoon) to assassinate Tae-sul; the Asia Mart tech crew who are by turns both friend and foe, led by Mr. Park (Sung Dong-il), and finally the psychotic shadow behind the whole end-of-the-world-but-also-Han-Tae-Sul plot, Seo Won-Ju, codenamed Sigma (Kim Byeong-cheol). All of them are personally, selfishly interested in the Uploader Han Tae-Sul built, or will build, or built but he can’t remember yet, whatever, screw you! This is why time travel gives us nosebleeds!

Kim Byeong-cheol, who plays the antagonist Sigma, also starred as the villain in another recent-ish South Korean smash hit, ‘Goblin’ or ‘Guardian: The Great and Lonely God’, and there is a very similar vibe to his character in ‘Sisyphus’. Greater detail about the glee for being bad Byeong-cheol tosses into every villain he plays would be nice, but that would be total spoilers for a epic time-travel sci-fi show like ‘Sisyphus’. Give it a watch, only on Netflix, try to count the time loops, and remember to choose: save the girl or save the world!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
