Jo Seung-woo, Park Shin-hye tackle fantasy-mystery in new JTBC drama Sisyphus: the Myth

by tccolb


Jo Seung-woo, Park Shin-hye

In celebration of JTBC’s 10th anniversary next year, a special fantasy-mystery drama is being put together called Sisyphus: the Myth which stars actors Jo Seung-woo (Forest of Secrets 2) and Park Shin-hye (Memories of the Alhambra).

Jo Seung-woo plays a highly intelligent engineer named Han Tae-sool. He is one of the founders of a successful company called Quantum and Time and his developments have helped build the company to grow worldwide. Due to his innovations, he is well known and well-loved by the people of Korea. However, what they don’t know is that the company stocks have been unstable since his older brother suddenly died 10 years ago. And when Jo finally learns the truth behind his brother’s death, he embarks on a dangerous journey that will forever change his life.

Park Shin-hye takes on the role of Kang Seo-hae, who lives in the attic loft of a skyscraper in Seoul and is described as a warrior. Highly skilled in combat fighting, sniper work, and planting bombs, whether they be man or woman, gangster or warlord, she can take them down. Although we don’t yet know the reasons why, the story has her travelling far and wide in order to meet Jo Seung-woo’s character and rescue him.

I’m not sure how the original Greek legend of Sisyphus actually plays into the drama, but Jo Seung-woo is always a win. And I definitely like when Park Shin-hye plays interesting characters that are not run-of-the-mill, such as in You’re Beautiful or Flower Boy Next Door. It will be awesome to see her as a badass butt-kicking heroine who can hold her own in a fight.

On the production side, we’re in good hands with PD Jin Hyuk (Legend of the Blue Sea, Master’s Sun, City Hunter) in the director’s chair and scripts were penned collaboratively by married couple Lee Jae-in and Jeon Chan-ho.

Filming for Sisyphus: the Myth has already been completed and the show is currently in post-production. The premiere is set for early next year in 2021.

This is giving me Memories of the Alhambra vibes and we all know how that drama turned out. Making matters worse is the fact that the writers only have credits in one drama special and one weekend (makjang) show.

Park Shin Hye does tend to fare better when she's not in a romance drama but her last drama had the romance shoehorned in anyway against all odds so who knows if we may get more infamous fish kisses.

Jo Seung Woo is certainly great. But we all know that great acting cannot save a terrible script and he's been through that process before with God's Gift: 14 Days (and that was with a better actress). I just hope this show doesn't scare him off dramaland for 3 years like what that show did to him.

It seems like someone still stuck in 2013 even if the Heirs kiss wasn't even her fault.
She has plenty of nice kisses in Pino, Doctors and MoA and there are many actress who have fish kisses in surprised situations but why is she the only one that get dragged?
This is why I stopped coming here because actresses get dragged and bullied for nothing even she did amazingly and have proven herself countless times. Such a toxic environment. Wait that's one of the reasons I stopped watching kdramas too. LOL

Wow, that is so low. Do you really have to put down PSH just to compliment JSW?

And yet, the last projects of JSW have lower ratings compared to those of PSH’s? So, what can you say about that?

Those people don't even know her own record but let's drag her and discredit anyway, just to to fit their opinions
But at the end of the day, Korean entertainment industry think otherwise. That's why she got good projects offers and all good actors and production want to work with her. Because they know her capability, skill as well her rating record better than no-brain haters. I mean she basically got 2 successful movies and making her name familiar with Netflix worldwide this year despites of the pandemic. What is the other actress could have that power?

It really dose not matter if she the worse or the best actor out there, she gets roles because the drama she appears in make lots of the $$$ and she will remain a top A list actor and win awards based on that.

Wow...I didn't know people still talked about fish kisses...guess you haven't seen her other dramas in recent years. Also, drama quality / chemistry does not equal good kisses.

I do agree romance being shoehorned in MoA but I think that's not PSH's fault.

I tried doing some research but even googling the writers' names in Korean didn't yield anything other than the fact that they wrote eps 6-40 of the SBS weekend drama Fates and Furies, starring Joo Sang-wook and Lee Min-jung. It didn't help that the person who wrote the first 5 episodes is the only person credited as the writer on Asianwiki and Wikipedia. It's all a bit worrying. Then again, I'd never heard of Lee Soo-hyun, but his Kairos is turning out to be one of the most rigorously constructed dramas I've ever seen.

Yes, I am a little worried about the writer, dramas with time travel themes tend to have logical flaws that detract from quality, this drama has in my opinion a good director, good actors and for what I notice being an anniversary drama a good budget, I'm afraid that all my expectations will go under for an irregular writing.

Lee Soo Hyun is a rookie writer based on articles. It's amazing that she/he came up with Kairos as her/his first project. It's so well written, one of the best time-crossing thriller ever.

Ps: watch Kairos everyone. Maybe it's a good teaser for what to expect in Sisyphus...since both have Ancient Greek titles 😆

I found this on Twitter from one of PSH's fans. Apparently the writers have been working on Sisyphus since 2016, and the project was supposed to air on SBS. But SBS failed to cast PD and actors, so the project was cancelled and the writers wrote Fate and Furies for them. SBS didn't pay them for writing F&F, which is why they aren't credited.

I hope its a good script, enough for JTBC to pick it up and reboot it.

Woah I had no idea all this stuff was going on. That the writers had written Fates and Furies eps 5 or 6 to 40 (and not the first few episodes) sounds like they were just completing a script according to someone else's specifications. (And they weren't even paid for it?!) So I guess F&F won't tell us much about how Sisyphus will turn out.

1

The writer thing is making me worried, too.
Good director + good male lead - potentialle corny script = uncertainty.
And why Sisyphus? That is one joyless legend, that I can't picture as an interesting drama.

I don't know if the reference to Sisyphus means this will be a fantasy, or if it's just a metaphor for crime and (futile) action. I will check it out because Jo Seung Woo.

Also, this may be a stretch, but Park Shin-hye can pull off fierce. She was pretty good in the first episode of DOCTORS as a feisty rebel dressed in black leather. Alas, we never saw that again after the hospital romance started (yawn).

She was good in both #Alive and The Call! Still got overshadowed by her much more talented costars in both, but she did well enough.

Honestly her characters are lacking in both movies in comparation so she did well with what she was given and her roles. Even Call director said her role is not easy to play because she is in charge of reaction and she has to balance the energy for both as SJJ is in charge of actions. You know they both filming their scenes separately right? JJS filmed first and PSH filmed later to match their line. Both were mostly acting with the phone. Even SJJ thank PSH in her interview
So I wouldn't say she was overshadowed. She needs better characters to shine. But with her acting method- which is balancing on her acting partners, it's not hard to see why actors shine better acting with her. But also because of that method, she has chemistry and can act well with anyone.
I do hope she can change her acting method and can let herself shine more. But she hasn't for age and it somewhat misleads people to think she is overshadowed or not good enough. It's just good for actors who act with her.

If not for her, would these two films be successful?

Btw, #Alive is her first movie as a FL. This movie placed #1 in the Netflix Worldwide chart. And overall #4 for 2020 on the international movies that the world loved for 2020. And yet, people still want to credit the ML for it. But what happened to the ML’s project before or after this movie?

Then on to “ The Call” which is her first movie where she is the lead. Well, it is still #1 in Netflix South Korea since it premiered last Nov. 27 and was in the top 10 worldwide for 2 consecutive weeks. That is hard to do since this is not a series with new content/episodes every week. And still, people here will still try to ignore her drawing power and give the credit to the other cast member. We will see how that other cast member will fare ratings wise or box office draw if one day she will get a chance to lead a drama.

You are all obsessed with great acting as if you are all qualified acting critics. SMH!
All those who have high-rated dramas or have the box -office hits have the least acting awards. And those with the most acting awards still remains in supporting roles. Why is that?

Because acting awards doesn’t equal to charisma and box-office pull. I bet actors and actresses would rather have the latter than go hungry with your acting awards!

...I said nothing bad at all about Park Shin-hye in my comment. I said she was good. What do you people want?

Yeah, I like both Yoo Ah-in and Jeon Jong-seo. I like them both more than I like Park Shin-hye (but I do not dislike Park Shin-hye). So what?

You're right. Park Shin-hye is popular. She doesn't need more fans, so why are you so desperate to convince me about how awesome she is? I don't think anyone here ever once questioned her success.

I can freely talk about what I think about someone's acting without ever relating it to popularity, because those two things are entirely unrelated for me. I like some popular actors. I like some less popular actors. I don't like some popular actors. I don't like some less popular actors. Popularity means very little to me as a viewer and I hardly ever mention it because of how little it means to me. You're making something out of nothing here.

I'm here on this website to talk about dramas and how they (and their actors) make me feel, and that's it. I couldn't care less about popularity.

“Overshadowed by his two much more talented co-stars” is not a diss?

It's not a diss, it's my opinion. Why would I diss someone who I said I thought was good?

MINDY: “ You're on a drama community dedicated to free discussion about dramas. People are allowed to disagree with you and share opinions that differ from yours.”

Exactly what I was doing ... I disagreed with your comment. But apparently, it is not allowed to object to your opinion.

Anyway, I am done. I apologize if I disagree with your comment. I am just fed up with people joining the PSH-Hate Bandwagon. Like, if one criticized PSH, you are giving them(bandwagoners) the go signal and authority to join in and insult her. There is too much of that already, this is my first time to join in any of the conversation here in drama beans because like my name implies I am so fed up with the hatred and how they ignore and discredit her fame and success and just focus on her weak point.

DB is the only kdrama site I post on and I do not maintain any kind of wall or other social media presence, so this may sound naive, but holy smokes! I would not have expected this kind of ugliness directed against you given your comments. I mean, for example, someone like Suzy gets criticized here exponentially more harshly without prompting this level vitriol (as it should be!)

A tiny part of me understands why people lose their minds about race, religion or economic disparity but dramas and actors? I guess now that the electoral college vote is done, there is space in the rancor hole to be filled...

"But what happened to the ML’s project before or after this movie?"

You mean Yoo Ah-in's film Burning, which won the Fipresci Prize at Cannes in 2018? And The Voice of Silence, which I'm pretty sure has had some decent critical success this year? Yeah, he's a nobody...

And to clarify, my comment is not an attack on PSH in any way. She's fine. I've enjoyed her performance in different projects, but what I don't enjoy is the tearing down of others based on some kind of popularity scale.

18

I am talking about box office? And his dramas ratings-wise?

1

I don't care about box office and ratings. I care about whether I like the project and enjoy watching the actor do their thing.

16

So it is okay to tear down PSH based on acting skill? Let’s ignore that fact right?

2

I don’t remember replying to your comment before this, I replied to the one who dissed PSh acting skills.

1

I did NOT tear down PSH, and Mindy did NOT tear down PSH, so I'm not sure what the problem is here. Anyways, I'm done here because I honestly don't care enough to continue. I'll check out this drama because I think the concept and the cast could be good. But my gosh, if I have to wade through this kind of argument in a recap thread you might just turn me off your PSH with this. It's one thing to be a fan, but it's another to just be too much.

23

Fed up: You're on a drama community dedicated to free discussion about dramas. People are allowed to disagree with you and share opinions that differ from yours.

Not every post that isn't absolutely glowing praise is a diss.

No one here has anything personal against you or Park Shin-hye. No one is saying anything about her popularity or success. They're just giving their opinion, which is what this site was made for.

28

I don't think these stans realise what a disservice they do their idols with this attitude. I highly doubt PSH or any of the other high profile stars would want to be associated with this kind of attitude. Not to mention it puts people off watching something with them in it because they're too scared they're going to end up in a pile-on over nothing.

33

I dont know her fans can be this scary 😟😰

13

They are so scary I almost cried 😭

13

@mmmmm *pats*
Crying together 🥺

11

I thought my 38 notifications were about something nice... I don't know how my positive comment about PSH got turned into this. I said she CAN portray fierce characters, based on the dramas I've seen, and Mindy added that she's actually GOOD in thriller movies. End of debate because there wasn't a debate to begin with!

18

I dont know why my feeling or my comment toward PSH is so important for them, till they become so angry. I mean who am I? Anonymus. Ha ha ha. They can just ignore my comments or my opinions. Since it doesnt effect PSH career or popularity or anything at all. Jebal jum. I dont want to feed the troll but it just makes me wonder.

I don t think she was overshadowed at all honestly especially in The Call I can see why you would have thought she has been overshadowed in Alive beacause the movie focuses more on ah in s side of the story but in The Call both her and jjs shined equially even though jjs character is the psycho killer she was be able to show that her character is as strong mentally as the villain and showed wide range of emotions that proves the excellent actress that she is that made her equal to the villain that supposed to shine in the first place I still can't get over both of their mind blowing performances on that movie also considering how these two movies are her first time leading ones shows how powerful she is looking forward for this drama and more of her movies

Yeah she was pretty good in doctors untill episode 8. When the romance came in is when that drama went down(among various other reasons)

I'd still read the gangster x doctor PSH fanfic any day. Or a PSH & Jisoo reunion.

I'm honestly so excited for this, and I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I've studied absurdism a few times since starting university, and Camus' essay of Sisyphus is so interesting - if this drama tackles existentialist themes, it'll have my heart. Plus, I'm buzzed to see Park Shin-hye in a drama that's not a bad romcom! But still, it's a high-concept drama, and they have a tendency to be cold and unapproachable from the starting line or lose their way by episode five.

When was the last time PSH starring in a romcom? Was it Heirs or Pinocchio? I'm certain Doctors and MoA isn't counted as romcom nor any of her movies in the recent year...
I feel like people like to stick PSH with poor candy girl and romcom when she does more melo and the only candy role she has was the Heirs and probably MoA after she became an adult actress. She wasn't a poor candy girls in You are beautiful, or Heartstrings or Pinocchio. She was poor but not a candy in FBND and Doctors. So I really don't get why people think she only plays candies roles. Or people think any roles that not rich are candy roles?

I'm counting Doctors here, since that was definitely not a show about doctoring. And since her only role in Memories of the Alhamnra was to be the pretty live interest, let's say I meant that too. I love Park Shin-hye, I think she's great, but she keeps choosing roles that don't utilise her properly.

So it's also her fault now that writer doesn't write her character well?!?!?
Like seriously? Actor only get first 4-6 episode to decide on script and you can see her roles have so much potential with those earlier eps. But yeah it's always the actress's fault. And sure you love PSH to think it's her fault that writer screwing her up that she was so upset after MoA.

That's not even slightly what I said...? When did I blame her?

Also Doctors is not a romcom even if you don't think it's all about medical. It's a humanity drama that focus on Hye Jung life and how she changes and let go of her hatred and angers because she is a doctor next to other touching stories in the hospital... The cast and director said it many times This is definitely not You're beautiful or What's wrong with secretary Kim kind of drama that easy to get popular among the youth. You can ask 100 people to recommend you romcom and none would suggest you Doctors. If they ask about medical drama, some will.

For MoA roles, no one was upset as PSH when the writer screwed up her role. She trusted the writer and the production but they only wanted to use her name and gave her nothing back. But that's why we have Call, Alive and now Sisyphus: the myth's roles where she is showing different sides of her. She learned her lesson and became more aggressive with her character discussion. Like she almost didn't take the call because the original was so passive. So in a way, I want to thank Park Hye Run for teaching her a good lesson. She has been too kind and nice. So a wake-up call was needed. So I'm sure she is using her star power and reputation properly to negotiate her roles better now.

I am pretty sure those are the roles that she get offered in the first place directors and writers gives her roles that suit her pure image that s why she always complain about her image and she is desperate to change it and I think she is finally succeeded after watching her latest movies also back then nobody gave a fuck about the female lead and her character most of them are badly written they always make the ML shine the most and if you are an old kdrama fan (2003-2014) you will understand what I mean it is only recently we are seeing some good female roles actresses has always been overshadowed by writers and directors everyone can see that I mean even the call director said he is her fan and have watched all of her project and it always bothered him how they don t give her opportunities to how her skills

Fair point, when someone gets typecast it's hard to try new things. For instance, I'd love to see Ha Seok-jin in a role where he's not playing an obnoxious chauvinist, but it's happen like four times now I think? I think you're absolutely right that Park Shin-hye has played a lot of traditional K-drama female leads. I know she has a great range, and I'm glad she's getting more chances to put it to use!
(The bit about The Call director is lovely!)

Because of Jo Seung Woo's participation, the show, at its very worst, will still be watchable for me and the flipping of the usual gender roles of savior and damsel (dude)-in-distress earns some early credit.

I can’t seem to fathom why it is so hard for people to acknowledge that despite your opinion of her acting skills... all her projects has been successful!

I have a feeling that if this drama will get high-ratings, these same acting experts will credit it to his ML and will ignore the fact that her track record(drama ratings) is much better.

Exactly! The people always doubt her are the people don't even know what they are talking about. They know nothing about her like someone giving credit for her agency down there. I'm certain those don't even watch most of her works and only have judgement based on one of her popular work since 2013. But even her with her worst character in Memories of Alhambra, she still has better rating than most. In facts she carried the rating for Doctors in the 1st eps and it reached 20% without young popular hallyu star. In fact she stop working with young popular happy stars since 2014 and still maintain a rating queen
Don't let me start with her movies this year. Anyway PSH has become more confident as she is taking more various roles and genres that she didn't dare in her 20's so I'm excited to see her future projects.

I like PSH a lot but let's not discredit the popularity of Kim Rae Won who has been a Hallayu star from early 2000s. Not to mention, his dramas and movies have usually received good ratings.
So Doctors was a collaborative effort.

I wouldn’t call KRW a YOUNG popular Hallyu star, so I didn’t discredit him.

Since after Pinocchio in 2014, PSH started to work more with senior actors who are much older than her, whether they were Hallyu star or movie star. I hope you can see the difference as well as her career choices clearly

And for Doctors, in my personal opinion, the 1st 6 eps was pretty much focusing on Hye Jung earlier journey with family and friend and barely her teacher so that’s why I said she could carry the rating - with a interesting character and of course good acting costars counterpart! The rating went up to 18% after 6 eps if I remember correctly but taking a long time to reach 20 after they started to focus on hospital and more KRW

So I hope you don’t misunderstand my original post. But I also remember kmedia also stating Doctors bought 2nd wave of popularity to KRW and remember he was really happy with it.

There are a number of factors affecting "doesn't sound good" in OP's comment. Which, *gasp* will not be related to PSH. It could be the plot, it could be the writer, or it could be the director. So OP's comment isn't directing at one individual for sure. Some of us *again, gasp* judge on a drama on these numerous factors. Looking at the plot, it seemed like time-travelling will be involved, and as well all know, it can be very well done, or it will be a complete mess (see Someday or One Day, Alice, Tunnel, 365: Repeat The Year). I am not saying that you shouldn't question OP's opinion, but your following comment in this thread made me think that you think OP is going against PSH, which isn't.

JSW doesn't choose duds. I mean alot of people hate God's gift 14 days because of the ending, so much that they discredit how good the entire drama is until the last episode. I will put my trust on the guy. He knows what he's doing.

Well, If you consistently give successful results to the projects given to you, then you will be offered more. That is how it is in any workplace or business.

Acting awards are not enough. In show business, you have to bring in the money .

Lmao her agency is small and has no connection. In facts they has no one but her for almost 20 years and can't even promote her well. The only good thing they give her is freedom and is probably the biggest reasons she stays with them aside loyalty.
But let's give them credit because you don't want to give credit for the actress who worked hard for 17 years to build a successful career and great reputation for herself. LOL If she had a great agency with good mediaplay like JYP, or great connections like BH or Sidus, she definitely is much more popular and has much better roles.

But I don't understand why @pohonphee can't praise her agency. There are some very good actors and actresses who have not reached their full potential, or have even crashed and burnt, because their agents and agencies have not managed them well. While I've no doubt filmmakers etc pick PSH for her own merits, there's no way her agency would not be involved in finding and negotiating for roles for her. And if her agency is small and can't promote her well, as you say, yet the freedom (and maybe lack of pressure?) she has experienced with them has played a part in her great success, then I've got to say her agency looks pretty good to me. I was just commenting on Nam Gyu-ri on the fanwall, and on googling her I notice that she was with Sidus till recently, yet they don't seem to have done much for her career even though I think she is as beautiful and talented as PSH.

Without PSH in the agency do you think KSH would sign with them? LOL
They even said she is the face and the motive of other actors signed with them.

As someone that follow PSH for 11 year I wish she could leave them a long time ago. Same with all her fans. But at that same time I understand why she stays. She has freedom there and it's important to her.

1

Her agency openly acknowledged her importance? That's pretty cool of them.

1

Well for starters, SALT does appear to be taking good care of him. I assume the designer ware are a token of their appreciation towards him. He signed in 2018, after his old agency (Not big) told him to go to a better one to manage his acting/entertainment career. Now, it seems like with his big buzz/rise, that the biggest test is how they'll be able to manage his rise to the top in a way that's smooth/wise for him.

I do worry a tiny bit, b/c I feel like on one hand, he gets more care/attention since he's the biggest name outside of KJW/PSH, but also if he were at a bigger one, they would have more resources/budget/connections to package deal him with bigger name talents so he could work with A+ List veterans.

I personally would love to see him sign with BH in the future. But he is a loyal guy, so I just hope SALT doesn't F up, and manages him/his career well. The fact that they don't sue naysayers/batsh!t crazy Stans is a big red flag for me, esp. since KSH is sensitive. YIKES.

1

I think so. I saw his pic together with her pic on the front page of the official SALT Entertainment.

I’m waiting for the time I’m more in the mood before I watch that one. 🥰 I just finished Waikiki 2 and I thought he was so lovely there. You couldn’t really relate him with Han Ji-pyeong of Start-Up. U-sik is a typical guy-next-door that is just so swoon-worthy. 🥰

Lol, I can't believe such interesting discussions happened in a PSH post of all people!! Talk about surprising :D

Did you watch Catch the Ghost? He's so swoony there, as well as badass!! I lol though, you've multiple women on the show try to flirt with him & make heart eyes on him. I mean, hello?! Same lol.

I'm actually on a KSH drama watching marathon! Watching Strongest Delivery Man, Catch the Ghost, and Waikiki 2. As for Waikiki 2, it was very cringe watching it ngl.

But KSH, he really goes all out there with the comedic scenes. I think his most attractive trait is the fact that he doesn't care about looking 'ugly' or 'crazy.' For a sec, the noona romance he had in Ep 1 was actually kinda hot? Made me wonder, if he had a noona romance drama, it would be nice to see b/c he could pull it off :D

1

@soulsearch12 Loved him to pieces in Waikiki 2 and Start-Up. 🥰 Right, he wasn’t afraid or hesitant when it came to acting whatever role given to him. Even his ugliest face is still adorable! 😍 (what am I saying?) He can flirt with all things on watch - animated or not.

I’m taking this marathon thing slowly to give me more time to appreciate him in each role. Many of his work are on my to-watch list so I’m happy and all. As you, I am a little concerned about him seeming sensitive, but I think I’ll just support him this way and hopefully things work out for him in the short and long run. It’s like him being born on earth to be protected LoL. 😅

1

@mmmmm Lol yeah. Don't think he can look ugly in his whole life. Speaking of, I feel like in all his dramas, his family/home life is crap or really sad :( He's a chemistry magnet lol. Chemistry isn't just about love, but also synergy with others.

That's a pragmatic way to view one's work! I think after SDM/CTG, I'm going to take a mini break, and hopefully resume WTW2.

Oh yeah, the business isn't so kind :( I do worry about SALT and handling critics like that. They really should be better at handling those things. Wouldn't want to lose a star player b/c of that.

"I think I’ll just support him this way and hopefully things work out for him in the short and long run." Haha, ditto!! I just hope he remains humble and lovely as always, and stays clear of being involved in any scandals or controversies going forward. Hope he can become a top notch world class award winning actor in his 40s!!

1

Woah, how did I miss this interesting agent talk?! It's like Hollywood, you've WME, CAA, and UTA. Three top dogs. And then smaller agencies that follow. It depends, certain agencies are there to create stars, and others are there to cultivate their talents acting career. I do agree that PSH, could go to a bigger agency or even set up her own, but her remaining at Salt, means that they give her creative and personal freedom which many agencies don't. Plus, b/c she's loyal, she'll receive bigger pay cuts and bigger deals. If she were at BH, she would be second tier, after actresses like PBY, HHJ, and HJM would get better offers before PSH.

It’s not related to your comments, but the fans of some actors are making it harder for others to become their new fans. I think I’ll adopt the scan-reading approach: Skip some comments entirely. I still have a more negative feeling towards the actors though when their fans are so hardcore. That’s just the byproduct of their own fans’ actions I guess.

Swear God, I didn't mean to diss her. She's okay, many actors worse than her. But yeah I'm agree she needs some improvement in romance part. People who think they dont need to improve, means they dont want to be better.
But the fans are seeing/reading lines in negative light so yeah every comment seems like an attack against their fave actor. I'm okay with it though it is just one of nature of K drama fans. lol.
I mean she is lucky to have good agents, many good actors out there dont have good agent, landing with bad project after bad project despite their good acting skill.

As a matter of fact I really don't know anything about Park Shin-hye or her agency, but I do wonder whether she'd agree with your statement that her agency played no role whatsoever in her success.

2

You wrote it you don't know about them we knows how this agency using her name and fame and give nothing you could find her korean fans who are saying somethings

0

You've misunderstood my point. Whatever fans may say, at the moment none of us knows what Park Shin-hye herself thinks about her agency. Perhaps they really have been exploiting her fame, but perhaps they have actually been supporting her in ways that we know nothing about, since most of us are only familiar with the big agencies' methods. If the fans are right, then poor Kim Seon-ho has been completely and utterly duped, hasn't he?

2

@knewbie Oh no.. KSH mustn't be duped at all costs! 😱

But I don't think he was duped.. He sure knew about the agency so for me they all knew what they signed up for. I'm sure they thought this was the one they wanted.

3

@knewbie KSH was at a no name agency before SALT. He only signed up with SALT b/c his prior agency kicked him out b/c they wanted him to go to a better one that's more equipped. As of now, he's the biggest name (male) in SALT. Positives: He gets more care/attention/prob. first better scripts. Negatives: They only handled one big star (PSH), so they might not be as equipped compared to other top dogs (Namoo, BH, Soop, KeyEast) to handle one's rising fame. Not as many connections too.

As for KSH, he has said he loves his agency a lot. And they do provide him loads of designer clothing :D, so they must take good care of him. He might get a better offer from a bigger agency, but its better to stay loyal than jump ship sometimes.

2

If defending and protecting their biases from non-sense hate and bashing making you don’t like her fans or her, then too bad.
Her career has been successful without you liking her or her fans in the last 17 years. Her dramas and movies have been popular even without your support. And there are many new fans she gained after each works. It’s no loss for her really.
PSH or any actress deserves better fans than you who think it’s ok to hate or discredit their hardwork. To be honest I stopped coming here because how much people here bashing actresses. I only come here to defend Her. And this place looks pretty dead compared to years ago so I think many probably think this place is toxic like me.

So here is the deal on the figure Sisyphus in Greek mythology from the Ancient History Encyclopedia:
https://www.ancient.eu/sisyphus/
SISYPHUS: THE MYTH is pre-produced so it is possibly ‘in the can’ already. Interestingly the synopsis at AsianWiki includes this line about CSW’s character:
“ After his older brother's death 10 years ago, he has exhibited eccentric behavior. The company's stock price has fluctuated accordingly.” We know CSW can do ‘eccentric’.
Right now I am on episode 15 of FLOWER BOY NEXT DOOR (2013) which was prescribed for me as an antidote to DO DO’s ending. I have enjoyed watching YSY at his hyper best but I this is my first Park Shin-hye drama and I have enjoyed her performance. I did not know she was also in PINOCCHIO which is a drama I would like to catch up on.
Anyway being a big Cho Seung-woo fan I will be there for SISYPHUS always with the caveat on availability on a legal site.

This may turn out to be superb although I did sigh at the now stereotypical reversal: female/warrior; male/ rescued. Why do strong women have to beat people up to be recognised as being strong. Seems a limited understanding of where a woman's strength can reside.

Agree with this. This type of reversal can be good if done right -- for a good chunk of its run, I thought Flower of Evil fit into this category. However, this isn't the only way for a person -- male or female -- to be strong. For me, a good example is my late grandmother (God bless her soul) was one of the strongest women I've ever know. She dealt with the tragic loss of four children yet still managed to raise nine children into adulthood, ensuring each of her surviving children ended up well-educated with good jobs. She ran a household through varying (indeed, sometimes trying) financial circumstances. She cared for her parents and her sisters when they were ill, and cared for her father-in-law in his final days. She did all this without ever losing her sense of optimism and hope, without ever stopping to complain or lose her sense of generosity. She wasn't a "strong" woman according to modern standards -- she wasn't professionally and educationally accomplished, nor did she work in a field traditionally male-dominated -- but I can hardly think of anybody I know who was stronger than her.

These days, crediting an successful actress career to her agency even they simply did nothing for her and you know nothing about the agency nor her history is an example of strong women. And it’s all about you...

If you are a strong woman then do me a favor and learn a bit about PSH to see what kind of woman who you discredited is lol. That girl has no one but herself but growing up beautifully inside out. That’s why her fans like me wants to protect her.

I have the same problem with people that think women who are crying are weak too. In reality there are many strong women don’t fight or even argue or showing rude attitude , even crying yet going through with challenges and become successful at the end. But kdrama fans are quite shallow. They think women who can fight or act bitchy or crazy are strong. Like most even love and support villain roles because they are so badass and look beautiful. Lol
But for PSH, she simply has been thirsty of an action role since The Heirs and finally getting this role to release her full thirst. She did a bit on Doctors and Alive but they were not enough for her. So just for her long time wish and because people in the industry told her she didn’t fit to action roles due to her rounder body, I can’t wait to see her killing all the action scenes. She didn’t need stunt double in Alive and Doctors.
Honestly I’m a bit concerned with the writer of this drama as they don’t have any big project before. But knowing SBS was fighting for this script as well as PSH and CJW often have good eyes on projects so I decided to trust them for now. But as PSH fan, I’m supporting this because it’s a role she has waited for almost 10 years especially after the disappointment and lesson that Memory of Alhambra brought to her

Women characters are still sterotypical and that too in extremes.
This is also why I like Kang Ah Reum (lol plugging Spies here too), she isn't the sterortypical badass but we know she's immensely strong. Reminds me of how kpop has sexy or cute concepts for women but many others for men. You can be strong and still not be a fighter.

Park shin hye and action is a combination I can never say no to. I feel it's her strongest combination, as her character from Doctor's has left an impression on me till today. She sadly gets overshadowed in her drama's in favour of the male lead or weak writing for her character so fingers crossed she shines in this. I really love my girl and hope she gets to shine here, especially with a co-star like jo Seung woo.

The combination of quantum, time, and

IMHO... no. Even the 'good' dramas that people like overall tend to throw the rules of their own worldbuilding out the window in the finale for a happy ending. Tunnel and Queen In Hyun's Man are terrible for this. Also Rooftop Prince. Hit the Top is another egregious example. Nine did it too. I'll stop listing. It's the same problem. Korea is almost universally terrible at time travel.

Tunnel, Nine: Nine Times Travels, Train, 365: Repeat The Year

@leetennant Thanks for the examples. I enjoyed Nine and Queen Inhyun's Man despite the mishandling of the time travel aspect. So I guess I'll see if I can forgive that in this drama if the rest of the plot are well-written and executed.

@pohonphee I'm curious about 365: Repeat the Year. 😊

I think people assumed the ending must make sense and so structured a post-hoc rationalisation around it. But it didn't really.

Kairos.

Not a time travel drama but a time crossing. Only 2 eps left. Solid writing as of ep 14. The writer did a fantastic job with the world building and rules for the time crossing. Kudos to the whole team for making the drama happen. Wishing for a good and sound ending for such a good thriller kdrama so far. Ps: join me watch Kairos 😆.

5

@katakwasabi, honestly at this point, Shin Sung-rok's people should be paying you for all the marketing. Never change. And I'm so sorry that I haven't been on this journey with you, but maybe next he'll do that daddy day care drama we've been wanting.

8

@egads Kairos deserves hype for the story. It just happens that SSR is part of the cast and I'm happy he chose this drama as his 2020 drama. Imo, if the cast was different, someone else would hype it up instead of me...because apart from the phenomenal acting, it has a solid script and amazing production value 😎.

I'm in for the epical show!

I knew that She Would Never Know/Sunbae, Don't Put on That Lipstick will be the first one in part of JTBC's 10th anniversary. I hopefully think that Sisyphus will might be the next after Sunbae.

"one of the founders of a successful company called Quantum and Time... when Jo finally learns the truth behind his brother’s death, he embarks on a dangerous journey that will forever change his life..."

Time travel. It's time travel. And he gets stuck trying to save his brother's life and failing repeatedly. It sounds like a film script. I can't say this PD's works are my favourite and I'll to try couch my reservations about why and how people cast KSH in terms that will not attract the crazy trolls (too late). JSW is amazing, truly wonderful. But Korea has not fared well with its foray into time travel this year. Basically I'm a bit ambivalent about the whole thing.

@yyishere Bobo agrees and looks forward to a time traveling cat. No pun intended, but it’s about time 😼

5

@bbstl Bobo may want to check out the spin-off: "Hissypuss: The Myth". It's about, yes, a time-travelling cat. @eazal, this could be up your alley.

4

Is it the evil twin cat that travels in time? You know I am obsessed wi the evil twins, evil triplet bots...

2

And @yyishere why is it you always driving me into threads I try to avoid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2

@yyishere interesting that a google search of “Hissypuss “ yields one tweet and then connects directly to your comment. But Bobo is very interested in starting as both evil twin cats 😼😼
It will take a lot of training to get him to push a Boulder up a mountain with his nose in multiple time periods but especially in costume. We’d better start now.

What's up with some comments jeez!
Not quite the vibe I usually see here on dramabeans ><

Anyways, I watched God's gift 14d for CSW, I am ready for everything!! XD
Only difference is, I knew about that show's shortcomings before starting it..maybe I should wait till I can binge this show too!
Still, looking forward to it ^^

God Gift is a mess especially the ending but Ki Dong Chan is love. CSW showing full of emotion was a treat, the way he switched from one expression to another with such nuance acting. Hope to see more eccentric roles from him.

In French, Le Mythe de Sisyphe is novel by Camus who wrote different novels about the "absurd". In this case, he explained that Sisyphe is happy not because of the futility of his task but in its accomplishment.

So I'm curious if the writer inspired from the French novel.

Time travel in Kdrama rarely makes a good drama... It starts well but ends like Kim Je-Hyeok's happiness graph line in Prison Playbook (for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxP4QrJrIO0 ) .

I love both actors, so I guess I will test :)

> I’m not sure how the original Greek legend of Sisyphus actually plays into the drama...

Me: omomo! Another drama based on a greek word/legend?! I'm not a fan of either actor or actress or PD or writer in Sisyphus. I might give Sisyphus a try when it comes out because of my good memories with another ancient greek titled kdrama aka Kairos 😆.

Excited for this...really hope this will be good. PSH always bring ratings she is rating magnet.hope this will also bring that.iam nervous bz it is time travelling.this theme somewhat play good or bad.i read the comments here.i respect every opinion.but some comments are really mean.some ppl are still in 2013 talking about her kissing scenes where they didnt see her improvement in pino,DC,MOA.
Those who talking she has a good agency,you know this is first time i hearing that.even PSH haters know about her agency being a small one.her agency name is SALT.salt is only known bz of PSH.salt is like to have her.but still they didnt promote her or give good roles.her roles are mostly got bz of her talent.now salt is getting recognized & it has now kim soon ho & kim ji won.h hope salt will became a good agency bring good roles to them.
Being a PSH fan itself, to all PSH fans dont respond those who disregarding her.i f we defend her,they will say her fans are being too much. only synopsis is out.yet this much negativity.let ppl crticize their heart out.but dont bothered with it take it in positive way.our defend only make them anger.so let it go.just support our queen.hope for the best.
This is my first time commenting here.bz some comments here are😔😔.best of luck sisphyus team.fingers crossed hope for the best

"still they didnt promote her or give good roles.her roles are mostly got bz of her talent"

Would it be possible for you to provide a link or some other source for this claim? And if you have a way of ascertaining whether a particular role of PSH's was acquired with or without her agency's mediation, I'd be most grateful if you could share it with me, cos sometimes I'm a bit disturbed by my favourite actors' and actresses' career choices, and wonder whose poor decision-making is behind them.

In the case of PSH, I'm not familiar with her drama roles, but her film roles are actually pretty interesting and wide-ranging. Could you let me know whether her participation in Cyrano Agency, The Royal Tailor, Heart Blackened and The Call was arranged with or without her agency's involvement?

Iam not saying agency has not part in it.Agency has part in it. .but look for agency like JYP,SM,soomp,sidus,YG good scripts will come to them & they will get good scripts bz those are big agency.& I noticed that there are media play to get more buzz.
But in the case of small agency like salt,they has not connection to get good scripts.so it pretty sure that her scripts are given mostly bz of her popularity & she is high demand her.& also seen that salt is known as PSH agency .but nowadays salt is improving & they got new member like kim ji own.so l hope salt became a g.ood agency like rather than capitalizing them with popularity,they just utilise thier acting talent

Yes I agree that PSH herself would have received better offers as her popularity increased, but wouldn't that be true of any artiste, whatever agency they belonged to?

I also agree that the bigger agencies are much likelier to get their pick of the good scripts, and have far more resources for promoting their members. As a Salt artiste, PSH could be said to be at a disadvantage in those respects. But while there may be a better chance of getting a good role when your big agency gets more scripts, there'd also be more artistes in the agency to compete with you for it. At the end of the day, it might still boil down to how good or successful you already are.

As I've mentioned above, I know very little about PSH's career, but all this talk of her agency has actually caused both her and Salt to rise in my estimation. That a superstar like her has chosen to stick with Salt for so long suggests that she knows exactly what she needs as an actress, and that Salt is providing it.

You're so funny ! You wanna proof that her agency didn't do anything ? Just search or ask any Korean they will tell you that she's from very small agency , she was with them since she was 12, she went to auditions herself and worked so hard to get roles, she kept getting accepted and rejected after auditioning while others get the scripts easily through their big agencies or not so big but still got connections.

Salt never posts her cf pics or event pics on time , salt never sue any if her haters that even police was shocked when they saw how DISGUSTING their words were. And how they sexually harassed her ( her fans sued so police called her agency ) but her agency did NOTHING

Salt tried to get new actress and involved her In Everything shinhye does to get popularity through her but failed.

Park shin hye was so hyped and popular after straiway to heaven and tree of heaven but bc of her useless agency she couldn't get in any decent projects and went to weekend dramas until she was accepted in you're beautiful and after that she gained overseas hype and popularity.

Salt can't even manage her big weibo Account that got 11M followers and deleted her big twitter account bc someone hacked it as they don't use it or update to promote her for overseas fans while other agencies hire people to mange their artists' Accounts and media play a lot also make their staff comment and hype them.

If your fave didn't succeed it's bc she is not capable to succeed on her own but Shinhye succeeded on her own,her agency ceo is close to her and gives her all freedom that's why shinhye likes it there and feel comfortable since she can work on her own but this year they probably invested and we're able to get other actors and promoting them but still don't update about shinhye much, some media said she's the co founder and it's believable since they got money through her.

So don't ever look down on shinhye. She's not like popular idols or other actors that are in big agencies and get scripts in a way easier way through connections and investment, she worked so hard and still work hard to get better scripts and try all the genres she wishes for.

@Lola69

Thanks for the interesting info about Park Shin-hye's career, and sorry to hear that her agency did nothing to defend her from abusive trolls. I didn't actually claim that Salt did a lot to boost her career - in fact I said she might be at a disadvantage, though big agencies might not be much better. But your comments about her relationship with Salt -

"her agency ceo is close to her and gives her all freedom that's why shinhye likes it there and feel comfortable since she can work on her own... some media said she's the co founder and it's believable since they got money through her"

- makes me think all the more that PSH herself believes that this arrangement, though difficult in many ways, is most suited to her personality and working methods. The possibility that she's the co-founder or a silent partner is also very interesting, suggesting that she might be forgoing the protection of a big agency in exchange for greater control of her own career.

I don't know why you think I look down on Park Shin-hye. If you read my post above again, I said that her loyalty to a small agency has caused her to rise in my estimation. You, on the other hand, say "If your fave didn't succeed it's bc she is not capable to succeed on her own" without even knowing who my faves are.

For call PSH first rejected bz the character somewhat was passive & she know that villain will overshadow her.bz villain character was interesting.but still director persuaded her & made her character more depth.& Also heard that director wait for her when she wes filming MOA to persuaded her for the scripts.I heard it from the interview.
For promoting.,when an actress have fanmeeting or any other acting thier agency will promote highly by putting videos & picks .also for CF .but salt rarely do it.mostly her fans do more than agency i must say

Dramabeans users are so predictable that I didn’t even need to open the comment section to know there would be unrelate comment about kiss scenes and people putting women down to boost men up.

But at least there are some creativity going around here. Who would have guessed that people would treat salt, one of the most irrelevant agencies on industry, as some sort of big 3. I guess admit a woman you dislike can do well on her own is hard, right?

That’s why PSH should stay away from k-dramas, she won’t gain anything substancial as actress, since most dramas are just working in the same range of emotions and stereotyped characters. Plus, movie critics and public are more objective. They will judge based on performances and not pre-judgments. I’m glad she is being well received there, where is more demanding for the actors anyway.

I’m not expecting much from k-dramas lately but I do hope this one will be at least fun. I like both actors and that’s enough to give that a try.

Jo seung woo is always a yes for me. But I'm hesitant with park shin hye. She seems to fare better in movies as I've seen Alive and The Call recently. In The Call her co-star totally ate her up. But I will try to endure 16 ep of her widening her eyes and gaping her mouth to show she's ~acting~ for JSW's sake.

Bully mentality- let’s praise the ML and insult the FL or praise the FL a little and then tear her down a lot. Let’s feign innocence and play victim that nothing wrong was said.

So only people who have negative things to say about PSH are allowed on this site? Judging from the likes of these comments and then rallying around them when they are attacked by fans. It seems like it.

Fans are just reacting to what’s being said here. They didn’t start it, they came to defend. They are not the instigators and yet they are the ones who got lambasted and the instigators get a free pass.

This is why I stopped watching kdramas a while back. The community is just...something else. I came back to see if anything has changed. Nope it’s actually gotten worse. Most users on any kdrama related site (soompi is kind of an exception) have inhabited a bully mentality. Or have completely desensitized themselves to rude behaviors that wouldn’t fly in rl. Instead of seeing it as wrong they think it’s either funny or ‘just’ an opinion. Idk much about psh, but the things people say about these actors and actresses are borderline mental. Especially the ones (this is very common) who repeatedly comment nasty things about people they dislike. Unfortunately I used to do this, and I’m glad I got out this cesspool mentality. None of it is constructive, it’s just being a jerk. These are human beings you are speaking about! If you damage ones image with harsh unnecessary words, then it’s just straight up slander.

In the year PSH did well with alive & call both was a hit & got positive critics reviews.psh will well as much as her costars but some ppl still give credit to hercostars & completely discret psh hardwork.that was making psh fans pissing off.some talking still 2013 & giving her agency credit its too much.Evergone has opinion & i respect that.but please give credit to her when she is deserving.and this time she deserve the credit totally.

Mindy said that PSH was good in two films but her co-stars were better. You claim to respect Mindy’s opinion, yet also say that it constitutes “hate” for PSH, a “hate” that deserves to be “attacked” by PSH fans. In what way is Mindy’s opinion as negative as the posters on, say, Asianwiki, who are saying that they won’t watch Sisyphus because PSH isn’t a good actress?

You also claim that things are “too bad” here because we have failed to recognise PSH’s hard work. But why is everyone obliged to praise PSH? Why does she “deserve the credit totally” even though drama/film-making is a profoundly collaborative process? More worryingly, why does praise of people whom PSH has worked with entail disrespect of PSH? There are many reviews of Parasite out there that put the director Bong Joon-ho front and centre, but do Park So-dam fans complain that she is being sidelined?

In the case of PSH’s projects, we have the rogerebert.com review mentioning the “especially charismatic” Yoo Ah-in in #Alive, and Film Inquiry praising the director Cho Il for “telling an incredibly resonant story”. Asian Film Fans only mentions Jeon Jong-seo in their review of The Call, while the Yonhap News review of Heart Blackened is full of praise for Choi Min-shik and no one else. The Variety review of The Royal Tailor discusses the actors, costumes, direction etc very positively and in great detail, while PSH only gets the slightly patronising comment "the graceful Park emanates beauty from within”.

Why have PSH fans chosen to “attack” Beanies, when our influence on popular opinion is nothing compared to the media outlets mentioned above? According to the fans themselves, things are much quieter here than before, and we are just a bunch of losers. So why us? I can only conclude that the PSH fans have “invaded” Dramabeans (to use their own word), not to defend PSH, who is in no danger from losers like us, but because they feel the need to bully anyone who prefers other performers to PSH.

Btw, if PSH ever leaves Salt for one of the big agencies, do be careful not to refer that agency as ‘good’ or even ‘better than Salt’. You don’t want to be seen as giving all the credit to the new agency and dismissing PSH’s hard work.

Well i didnt attack on anybody.i just said my opinion as a fan.😊

@SKT

It's ok, you're definitely not one of those name-calling PSH fans who popped up here yesterday; and don't worry, you haven't hurt anyone's feelings.

I guess we all feel protective about what we love, and get upset when it's criticised or not appreciated. But if we wish to convert anyone, we'd have to be a lot more persuasive than simply going on the attack. I can see why a PSH fan would be annoyed by the "fish kisses" comment, which is probably why no one here has defended it. (Well, personally, I thought the comment was rather mild and jokey.) But I really cannot see how expressing greater esteem for Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Jong-seo or Jo Seung-woo could be interpreted as denying PSH's contributions to the success of her films/dramas. Also, perhaps I'm being naive, but "PSH has a good agency" sounds downright positive to me. (Maybe because an actor I like has been making some rather odd career choices ever since he joined an agency with a questionable reputation...) Thanks to you and another poster I now realise that PSH's relationship with her agency is far from simple, but I think many of the PSH fans' responses would have been a lot more persuasive if they had just pointed out what they thought were our misconceptions without accusing us of discrediting her, tearing her down, etc.

Anyway, I'd glad we had our discussion about PSH and Salt, which has given me a new appreciation of how she has handled her career so far. Hope you enjoy Sisyphus when it's released!

@knewbie,thankyou seat for understanding. i rarely follow celebrities. I mean i did watch drama & movie everything.but i didnt followup celebrities much except her.so i think that may be the reasons i defended her like crazy😄.loyal fan you know😉.
Hope we all can enjoy sisphyus ride.i really hope it will be good ride.time travelling dramas always complicated either it will became amazing or either a mess.hoping for good.
Stay safe😊😊

I hope acting wise is compatible, no glaring gap because if the FL receives negative feedback, there would be unrest everywhere by PSH’s fan like she is the only actor being criticised by her acting in the universe. I am scared...

I loved PSH in Memories of Alhambra. She was absolutely lovely, and so vulnerable it made me want to hug her and protect her. I loved her chemistry with Hyun bin. My heart flipped so many times watching her lock eyes with Hyun bin. It was such a terribly romantic show...they looked perfect together. I loved her huge eyes, I loved his narrowed eyes, I loved her helplessness, I loved his cynicism. It was the jaded, handsome lead and the hapless heroine trope, and I loved every moment they were together. It was a swoonworthy, swashbuckling epic drama for me, was let down by the end, but, despite that, it was the drama that brought Romance back into my dramalife.

Can the PSH fans chill? PSH fans have been doing comment control by getting mad at anyone not totally worshipping her as an actress god like you're really turning people off from her. People think she only plays candy roles because the roles that shouldn't feel like candy she's played them like candy, or because she's maintained the same kind of image in most of her roles. Its not just this site, the general Korean public perceives her this way too, and she hasn't done a project up until now that has broken that (although I think The Call is really going to help her show she can do more then be a pretty Candy actress). Look, its great that you love and adore PSH, and you want to protect her from malicious comments. People are allowed to have their own opinions though, like mentioning that she has a strong image of playing Candy roles. However, most everyone in the comment section who alluded to that have also said that they want to see her break that: if we hated her we wouldn't care either way. Personally, I'm excited to see Park Shin Hye do an image reversal: she's an actress I really like; she has a dynamic visual which I think works really well for roles with reverse or unexpected charm/aspects; and she's not bad at acting; but rather I feel has been shoed into very similar kinds of roles in dramaland over the past years, or has played them similarly. I think she needs a character totally different from anything she's ever done before to break out of that, and we will see the birth of a new kind of acting from her. So actually, I'm very happy she took this project. I want to see her do the kinds of projects you would expect Lee Si Young or Kim Ok Bin to do. To the one unregistered commenter who keeps changing names and bothering anyone who doesn't only give PSH unadulterated praise: Calm down.

I love love love Park Shin Hye, and while Memories of the Alhambra her part was sort of a dud, this role seems better. I like her as a badass, and I like her as a shy girl too. I plan to watch it!

This drama sounds like it will be like playing Russian roulette... if its a hit then its a hit, and if a miss... then an utter mess! Hope its the first though for everyones sake.
