What Was Season 1 About?
Hellbound is a South Korean show with six episodes; it is about people bound to hell because of the death predictions made. Wherever the time comes, the demon burns them to a shell of ash.
Hellbound opens with a man sitting in a cafe, and a rumbling is heard. Three supernatural monsters come and rip him apart and burn him to death. The whole city is horrified. In the media, the chairman of the ‘new truth’ says that angels are sent to those who have done it.
Park Jungja learns that she has only five days to live on her birthday by a spirit, and her life goes upside down. She meets a lawyer and says that she is bound to hell. The chairman contacted her and told her to protect them. The whole incident was recorded; hence the lawyer has to believe it.
There was a live telecast about what she sinned? She wanted lawyers to take her and her children to a safe place. In the end, there is a rumbling in the distance, and the monster grabs her. Even though the police tried to fight and open fire at the beast, it was of no use as it swatted away. The three monsters beat up Park Jungja just to perform the ritual in unison, and they bring ashes before totally disappearing.
Is It Happening? What Is It About?
Season 2 for Hellbound isn’t yet confirmed, but it will air by mid-2022 post-winter if it does air. Kim Shin-rok will probably be seen in the role of Park Jeong-JA in the upcoming season 2. This could even make her the lead of the series. The plot for season 2 will probably continue to deal with the cliffhanger. Season two can be like the angels are not angels, and the victims are not sent to hell but somewhat somewhere else altogether.
