German drama Sisi, Swedish drama Threesome and Korea’s Dramaworld will screen at SBS on Demand today.

Thursday, 12 May:

Sisi
All six episodes available to stream. In German with English subtitles.
Empress Elisabeth, nicknamed Sisi, whose fictional character was portrayed by Austrian actress Romy Schneider in the 1950s, was a pop star and influencer of her time at the end of the 19th century, and an icon in Europe and beyond. This series circles around the tomboy and Bavarian princess, who, after her marriage with Franz Joseph I., Emperor of Austria, must realise that life at the Habsburg court in Vienna is not at all what she expected. The monarch must fight against the strict and even cruel regime at court and for her ideals. Sisi stars Dominique Devenport and Jannik Schümann.

Threesome
All eight episodes available to stream. In Swedish and English with English subtitles.
David (Simon Lööf) and Siri (Matilda Källström) are a young Swedish couple living in London. They’ve been together since the last year of high school and convinced of the strength of their love, have defied the norm and settled down together early. But during a drunken night out they meet Camille (Alma Jodorowsky), a French art student, and a flirtatious game occurs where boundaries gradually dissolve. Giving in to unusual impulse, and drunken curiosity, they have a threesome. In the moment it feels exciting and completely unproblematic. But afterwards, the incident tears at Siri. A feeling that she and David have been irrevocably careless, and neglected something fundamental, takes over. Their relationship starts to show cracks, though both David and Siri do their utmost to keep it intact. But the foundations are already rocked, and Siri begins to question both their love and their choices in life.

Dramaworld
All thirteen episodes available to stream. In Korean and English with English subtitles.
Claire Duncan (Liv Hewson, SBS Digital Original’s Homecoming Queen), a slightly nerdy 20 year old college student, is obsessed with Korean drama. While most co-eds are out partying, she’s glued to the screen watching her favourite K-drama actor, Joon Park (Sean Dulake), in ‘Taste of Love’. Dreamy, charming, and downright adorable, Joon Park is more than Claire’s fantasy. He’s her knight in shining armour and the man of her dreams. Claire’s waking days, sadly, are not nearly as thrilling as the ones depicted in the K-drama world. Between work and school, her only escape is the glamour and excitement of ‘Taste of Love’ and Joon Park’s intoxicating charm and good looks. Like a girl lost in love, Claire spends almost every second wishing he would walk through the doors and sweep her off her feet. Through a twist of fate and a touch of magic, Claire finds herself sucked into her smartphone and transported inside the world of her favourite K-drama. Stuck inside Dramaworld, Claire finally gets to meet Joon Park in the flesh. But now that she’s a leading lady, she can’t just watch the drama unfold. She’s got to be part of it.
