Sisyphus: The Myth is a Korean television series starring Park Shin Hye and Cho Seung Woo. The JTBC fantasy-mystery drama follows a genius engineer embarking on a journey to uncover the dangerous and hidden secrets in the world. Along the way, he met his savior who comes from the future.
Cho Seung Woo plays the genius engineer Han Tae Sool, while Park Shin Hye plays the role of his savior, Kang Seo Hae. Now, new stills of Sisyphus: The Myth showed that dangers are coming for the latter following her arrival in the present time.
Kang Seo Hae came from the future that has fallen into ruin because of a war. She traveled to the present time in order to protect Han Tae Sool from threats and to save the world. The recently-released stills showed the character on a railroad track and a suitcase beside her.
Based on the photos, she already arrived in the present -- but that doesn't mean she's safe. Shortly after her arrival, a mysterious group of people wearing gas masks chase her. She has to find a way how to escape these beings and must figure out how to meet Han Tae Sool before it's too late.
The production team noted that Park Shin Hye's character went through a "far and dangerous road" just to get in the present time. It's yet to be seen whether or not she'll overcome her first obstacle in the present and if she could successfully meet Cho Seung Woo's character.
Meanwhile, Park Shin Hye and Cho Seung Woo discussed working in Sisyphus: The Myth. The two posed together in the March issue of Elle Korea magazine, and during the interview, they revealed why they decided to take part in the fantasy-drama.
Cho Seung Woo said that the "overall energy of the drama was charming" and it is something that hasn't been seen before in a Korean series. Park Shin Hye described the relationship between Kang Seo Hae and Han Tae Sool, noting that compassion is going to be their emotional foundation.
She added that her character in Sisyphus: The Myth isn't friendly and just living to survive. She first learned how to hold a gun rather than how to be a member of society. In terms of action scenes in the series, she said that she really wanted to try performing physically while she's still younger.
Sisyphus: The Myth will premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 17 a 9 PM KST, on JTBC. The series is also available to stream on Netflix.
