Both are sci-fi stories with Park Shin Hye as female lead, with MotA being about augmented reality gaming (that is perhaps a bit too realistic), and Sisyphus being about time travel. In both shows, the ML is a rich CEO of a tech company, who initially seem rather obnoxious and somewhat rude. Their career paths also take a turn due to similar reasons. In both shows, it kind of feels like they’re fighting a battle they can’t win, no matter how much they try. Both have some moments with a lot of CGI, as well as fighting scenes. Also, both have some very unrealistic idea about programming, lol. There are some other scenes in the final episode where the shows reminded me of each other as well, however, those would be some heavy spoilers so I will not go into it.
