It’s been a long wait. But I can say it was well-worth it. Season 2 of Netflix’s Hellbound (지옥/Hell) is finally here. And it has no problem picking up right where it left off three years ago. Director Yeon Sang Ho returns (along with writer Choi Gyu Seok) to continue bringing his popular webtoon to vivid life.
Here are my 20 (or more!) favorite Korean dramas of 2021!
Netflix’s latest Korean drama Hellbound (지옥/Hell) is a pensive thriller that blends fantasy, supernatural and horror with thought-provoking discussion and even a touch of biblical epic. Yeon Sang Ho, the mind behind the excellent Train to Busan, directs this series based on his own webtoon of the same name. And Hellbound shares many of the same qualities that made the blockbuster film so successful, including the ability to examine real world ills while engaging in action-packed spectacle.
