New episodes of “Sisyphus” (시지프스), a blend of science fiction, action, and comedy into an exciting escape from reality will drop on Netflix tonight! We can’t believe that we’re halfway through the series and that we still have more episodes of our #girlcrush, Park Shin-hye. :)
If you haven’t been able to catch “Sisyphus”, don’t sweat it but you should absolutely do so as “Sisyphus” tells the exciting story of genius engineer Han Tae-sul (Cho Seung-woo) who tries to uncover the truth behind his older brother’s death while Gang Seo-hae (Park Shin-hye) wants to save Tae-sul and the world. There’s a lot of mystery and intrigue packed into the suspenseful storyline, so we’re here to clear up some questions you might have halfway through the series.
Check out the facts (and spoilers!) below.
