Labeled as "JTBC's 10th Anniversary Special Drama", it premiered on February 17, 2021; each episode is released on Netflix in South Korea and internationally after their television broadcast.

Sisyphus: The Myth tells the story of a genius engineer named Han Tae-sul, who tries to uncover the truth behind his older brother's death, and an elite warrior called Kang Seo-hae, who travels back in time to help him save the world from imminent danger.

In May 2016, screenwriting duo Lee Je-in and Jeon Chan-ho signed a contract with SBS's Studio S to write a 20-episode television series which could not be broadcast on another channel. Studio S provided the writers a workplace where they worked on the script for Sisyphus: The Myth, but the production was eventually cancelled due to the difficulties in casting directors and actors. In December 2018, the duo were put in charge of writing the remains 36 episodes of Fates & Furies when the previous screenwriter left after writing 4 episodes. However, Studio S did not pay the ₩60 million writing fees which were to be paid within 15 days after the conclusion of the series. The duo terminated their contract with Studio S and turned to JTBC for the broadcast of Sisyphus: The Myth. Studio S filed a lawsuit which they lost in November 2020.
