  1. Hellbound – Sin is not Death! | Series Review [En-Es]@neruel581d

    The false Messiah has tamed the world. Death comes to every sinner; hell is the only thing that awaits them. No one can escape the sentence God has imposed on them. Fanaticism, madness, crime, cowardice, fear and indoctrination.

    El falso Mesías ha domado el mundo. La muerte llega a cada uno de los pecadores, el infierno es lo único que les espera. Nadie puede escapar de la sentencia que Dios le ha impuesto. Fanatismo, locura, crimen, cobardía, temor y adoctrinamiento.

    Hellbound is a South Korean series with two seasons. The first one premiered in 2021, and the second one this year, 2024. Technically, it is a series that appeals because of the dystopia concept; but it leaves you with a bitter taste due to the fact that you don't understand what happens in every scene.

    To be honest, the first season has three plot parts. The first one is when the Messiah rules the world, but he also lies to his followers about why he had a sentence. He is a sinner who would be taken to hell by the angels of death. The second part is composed by the revival of New Truth Society, a horrifying cult that starts to intervene in Korean society and transforms after the death of Jung Jin-soo (the Messiah). The third part focuses on the rescue of a girl who had a death sentence imposed on her and manages to survive.

    Those three plot parts of the first season make it difficult to understand; however, in the second season all doubts are cleared up, and it intertwines with everything that happened in the first season. I should note that Hellbound is an adaptation of Yeon Sang-ho's webtoon that has the same name. Both seasons are available on Netflix.

    The core of the series is really striking because it discusses supernatural issues in the modern world, leaves aside scientific criticism, and strikingly uses fanaticism as leverage. The cults and the premise that the world must change are driven by the protagonist, who has killed and sinned.

    Hellbound es una serie surcoreana con dos temporadas. La primera se estrenó en el año 2021 y la segunda éste año 2024. Técnicamente, es una serie que atrae por el concepto de distopía; pero te deja un sabor amargo debido a que no entiendes lo que sucede en cada escena.

    Para ser honesto, la primera temporada posee tres partes argumentales. La primera es cuanod el Mesías domina el mundo, pero también les miente a sus seguidores; porqué tenía una sentencia. Es un pecador que sería llevado al infierno por los ángeles de la muerte. La segunda parte está compuesta por el renacimiento de "New Truth Society", un culto horroroso que empieza a intervenir en la sociedad coreana y se transforma luego de la muerte de Jung Jin-soo (el Mesías). La tercera parte se centra en el rescate de una niña que se le había impuesto sentencia de muerte y logra sobrevivir.

    Esas tres partes argumentales de la primera temporada hacen que sea difícil de comprender; sin embargo, en la segunda temporada se aclaran todas las dudas y se entrelaza con todo lo que ocurrió en la primera temporada. Debo destacar que Hellbound es una adaptación del webtoon de Yeon Sang-ho que posee el mismo nombre. Ambas temporadas están disponibles en Netflix.

    El centro de la serie es realmente llamativo debido a que pone en discusión temas sobrenaturales en el mundo moderno, deja a un lado la crítica científica y usa de manera llamativa el fanatismo como apalancamiento. Los cultos y la premisa de que el mundo debe cambiar son impulsada por el protagonista que ha matado y ha pecado.

    Moreover, while some are sentenced and taken to a hell determined for each one, others die naturally. This is ironic because the message generates an inference about the beginning and the end of human life.

    As for the adaptation of the series, there is remarkable visual quality and cinematography. Korean productions have the best adaptations on the market. After all, their technology allows them to do this kind of thing.

    One of the characters that are very well worked in the series is the one played by actress Kim Shin-rock; that is, Park Jung-ja. The series opens with her sentencing and how the world exposes her death to everyone. Something horrifying.

    Además, mientras que algunos son sentenciados y llevados a un infierno determinado para cada uno, otros mueren de manera natural. Esto es irónico; porqué el mensaje genera una inferencia sobre el principio y el final de la vida humana.

    En cuanto a la adaptación de la serie, existe una calidad visual y fotografía notable. Las producciones coreanas poseen las mejores adaptaciones del mercado. Después de todo, su tecnología les permite hacer este tipo de cosas.

    Uno de los personajes que están muy bien trabajados en la serie es el que efectuó la actriz Kim Shin-rock; es decir, Park Jung-ja. La serie inicia con su sentencia y como el mundo expone su muerte ante todos. Algo horroroso.

    Hellbound  (1).png

    Unexpectedly, each character receives a message that they will die and then the three angels of death go after the person to murder them and take them to hell. What kind of hell? The second season answers that. Each hell after death is the one that each person has forged by their actions. The sentence to be served is proportional to what has been committed; but it is just as painful for each person who has done harm.

    The series sends a very harsh message to viewers. Remember that, if you did something similar, you are not exempt from guilt. At some point you will have to pay for it. The supernatural is mixed with reality in a raw way. The series, indeed, is not perfect; but it is entertaining enough.

    As for Kim Sung-cheol's character's performance was incredibly dramatic. The way he recreated Jung Jin-su's way of thinking and manipulating others leaves you perplexed. I highlight that element of the series. In the end, he couldn't escape his own agony.

    My reflection on the series frames on the fact that fanaticism is everywhere and forgets the value of humanity. Of helping another and understanding pain. Someone who has done wrong serves his sentence; but those who for a simple action were also condemned and judged without any delay.

    Inesperadamente, cada personaje recibe un mensaje de que morirán y luego los tres ángeles de la muerte van por la persona para asesinarla y llevarla al infierno. ¿Qué clase de infierno? La segunda temporada responde a eso. Cada infierno luego de la muerte es el que cada quien ha forjado por sus acciones. La sentencia a cumplir es proporcional a lo que se ha cometido; pero es igual de doloroso para cada persona que ha hecho daño.

    La serie envía un mensaje muy duro a los espectadores. Recuerda que, si hiciste algo similar, no estás exento de culpa. En algún momento tendrás que pagar por ello. Lo sobrenatural se mezcla con la realidad de manera cruda. La serie, en efecto, no es perfecta; pero es lo suficiente entretenida.

    En cuanto a la interpretación del personaje de Kim Sung-cheol fue increíblemente dramática. La manera en que recreo la forma de pensar de Jung Jin-su y de manipular a otros te deja perplejo. Destaco ese elemento de la serie. Finalmente, él no pudo escapar de su propia agonía.

    Mi reflexión sobre la serie encuadra sobre el hecho de que el fanatismo está en todas partes y olvida el valor de la humanidad. De ayudar a otro y comprender el dolor. Alguien que ha hecho mal cumple su condena; pero aquellos que por una simple acción también fueron condenados y juzgados sin ningún tipo de dilación.

  2. Hellbound 2021tv series – A dark journey into the depths of human nature@valentin86606d

    Hellbound 2021tv series – A dark journey into the depths of human nature

    "Hellbound," the Korean series directed by Yeon Sang-ho, plunges us into a dystopian world where dark fantasy intertwines with a brutal introspection on human nature. Inspired by a webtoon of the same name, the series brings to the fore supernatural beings who appear out of nowhere to hand down sentences of condemnation to hell, but paradoxically, the real horror comes not from these creatures, but from the actions of humans. This Netflix production approaches the theme of fanaticism and morality with a subtlety that manages to shake the viewer, not through special effects, but through its psychological realism.

    **The plot unfolds in an apparently dystopian, but essentially realistic society, where fear and the need to find meaning become a pretext for terrible manifestations. Through each character and extreme situations, "Hellbound" explores the dark side of human nature. The show shows us that no matter how terrifying the monsters may seem, the real horror comes from the cruelty and manipulation of the vulnerable. Although stories like this tend to show hope for a happy ending, the finale of the second series leaves room for interpretation, ending with a promise of better, but with a new set of questions that make us look forward next season.** **"Hellbound" is more than a horror series, it is an allegory about human nature, about fear and about our need to believe that life has a higher purpose. With intense cinematography, intricately constructed characters, and a tense narrative, the series will not only keep you on edge, but will force you to ask yourself questions about good, evil, and the sacrifices necessary to face your deepest fears. deep.**

    In "Hellbound," the world is shaken by the appearance of supernatural creatures who embody a new form of divine justice. People receive brutal sentences and, at the appointed time, are taken over by mysterious beings who lead them to what appears to be hell. In the face of this "proof" of the existence of divine punishment, a new form of fanaticism arises: a religious organization, called the "New True World," begins to preach that these sentences are an act of pure justice, a way in which the gods punish sins committed. Over time, this organization gains power, and its followers begin to exert pressure on society, taking advantage of the chaos and fear of those around them.

    **In this tense context, the series explores not only fear and violence from the supernatural, but especially the danger of fanaticism and manipulation. Morality and compassion are replaced by harsh judgments, and people end up hating and betraying each other, for fear of falling victim to this "divine justice".**

    The historical parallel - the Inquisition

    A historical event that "Hellbound" can be compared to is the Inquisition, a dark time in human history where the Catholic Church established tribunals to judge and punish heresy and "sinners." Just like in the series, the fear of "sin" and "hell" was instrumentalized to justify extremely violent actions and abuse.

    During the Inquisition, there were enough unfounded accusations to send someone to torture or even death, and the trials were presented as necessary to "preserve morals and divine order." As in "Hellbound," this fear was fueled and exploited by the powerful, who used religion and fear to impose their control over the masses and eliminate those deemed "immoral" or "sinners."

    Esta historia se divide en dos partes: la primera nos relata los comienzos de este suceso, cuando un chico en una cafetería es víctima de esta situación frente a todo el mundo. Lo que prende las alarmas de los ciudadanos y se apoyan en el líder de una comunidad religiosa "La nueva verdad", que desde hace 10 años atrás había advertido sobre lo que pasaría y cómo Dios empezaría a castigar a los pecadores mediante estos raptos. This story is divided into two parts: the first one tells us the beginnings of this event, when a boy in a cafeteria is victim of this situation in front of everyone. This sets off the alarms of the citizens and they rely on the leader of a religious community "The New Truth", who had warned 10 years ago about what would happen and how God would begin to punish sinners through these abductions.

    Todo empeora cuando una mujer está a punto de ser ejecutada y esta organización decide hacer un trato para grabar el momento exacto y así convencer del todo a la sociedad. Para sorpresa de muchos escépticos, este acto se lleva a cabo dejando a todos horrorizados. Aquí terminan las apariciones del presidente de este grupo, a el cuál le había sido revelado 20 años atrás que moriría, un policía y su hija que vieron todo de cerca, y la madre de una abogada asesinada por otro grupo religioso llamado "La lanza". Everything gets worse when a woman is about to be executed and this organization decides to make a deal to record the exact moment to convince society. To the surprise of many skeptics, this act is carried out leaving everyone horrified. Here end the appearances of the president of this group, to whom it had been revealed 20 years ago that he would die, a policeman and his daughter who saw everything up close, and the mother of a lawyer murdered by another religious group called "The Lance".

    La segunda parte nos muestra el después de todo y como ahora hay un nuevo presidente a cargo, la sociedad que ahora vive asustada e incluso avergonzada junto a sus familias si les es revelado su tiempo de muerte, el fanatismo por parte de muchos, y un suceso que pondrá en duda la idea principal de la organización de que si eres acusado es porque eres pecador, cuando una madre ve como su hijo recién nacido recibe el aviso. The second part shows us the after all and how there is now a new president in charge, the society that now lives in fear and even ashamed together with their families if their time of death is revealed to them, the fanaticism on the part of many, and an event that will question the main idea of the organization that if you are accused it is because you are a sinner, when a mother sees how her newborn child receives the warning.

    🎬 Lo bueno y lo no tan bueno | The good and the not so good

    ####

    Esta producción no me convenció al principio, pero luego me atrapó y quería saber qué pasaría en el próximo capítulo. En general estuvo muy bien realizada, las interpretaciones estuvieron muy bien y los demás aspectos como la fotografía, el guión y los efectos estuvieron bien. Básicamente es una crítica a la sociedad y como puede ser manipulada hasta llegar al fanatismo religioso, lo que lleva al desastre porque en pocas palabras, no es la voluntad de Dios que las cosas pasen de esa manera. This production didn't convince me at first, but then it grabbed me and I wanted to know what would happen in the next chapter. Overall it was very well done, the performances were very good and the other aspects such as photography, script and effects were fine. Basically it is a critique of society and how it can be manipulated to the point of religious fanaticism, which leads to disaster because in a nutshell, it is not God's will that things happen that way.

    Aborda otros temas como el enfrentar nuestros miedos, la muerte y nuestras malas acciones. Sin embargo, hay ciertos puntos que no son del todo creíbles, y es que se supone que una situación de esta magnitud que ocurre en Corea (un país bastante desarrollado), sólo parece importarle a ciertos grupos, y de un día para otro esta organización actúa como le place sin la intervención de ningún gobierno o altos mandos y de paso la población se aferre a esta teoría religiosa de un día para otro . Y el capítulo final deja una brecha bastante profunda que no sé cómo se llevará a cabo en una segunda temporada que realmente funcione y valga la pena. It addresses other issues such as facing our fears, death and our wrongdoings. However, there are certain points that are not entirely credible, and is that a situation of this magnitude that occurs in Korea (a fairly developed country), only seems to matter to certain groups, and from one day to another this organization acts as it pleases without the intervention of any government or high command and incidentally the population clings to this religious theory from one day to another . And the final chapter leaves a pretty deep gap that I don't know how it will play out in a second season that really works and is worthwhile.

  4. HELLBOUND (2021): A supernaturally crazy movie@kingsleyy1224d

    Greetings!

    image designed by me via canva

    I'm a guy who loves paranormal and supernatural stories, especially the ones that have to do with how things are done in the spirit world. I came across this movie, HELLBOUND, last week, and I was magnetized by the first episode. I didn't read the review before watching; I saw, downloaded, and began to watch.

    It's very possible for someone to have dropped the review here sometime ago, but I feel like reminding you to add it to your watchlist if you haven't seen it, especially if you're supernaturally freaked.

    I won't spoil it for you...

    The storyline; As the name of the movie implies, it has to do with the religious "hell" that we know, but this one is entirely on another level. The movie started with the news that went abroad about some creatures (giants) coming out of hell to destroy (burn to charcoal) people that have been marked for hell. Isn't that crazy?

    This is how it works; An angel ( horrific angel) would appear to inform someone to prepare for hell with a specific date and time. And just like a play, the day would come and these angels of hell (the three giants) would appear from the space and burn the victim to charcoal. This happens anywhere, either at market, inside the room...any place at all.

    It happened in the first episode, and I really got to marvel at the reason behind the hell's judgment on earth. Why so? Can't God wait for death before judgement?  ____ Jung, the founder of the New Truth (a religious organization that preaches about God and Hell's judgement on earth), was the one who fostered the belief in the minds of many because he said God is trying to correct and amend human ways on earth. The movie trailed down to how he got to be "selected by God" to broadcast such a sermon to the people, and it was from there that I got a bigger surprise: he wasn't sent by God nor the devil; he was the very first to get the decree of Hellbound, and he decided to push the fear to the masses by initiating such a mission.

    This movie is supernaturally crazy; you need to see how people were repenting and living a clean life because they don't want to be bound for hell. There was an organization, The Arrow Head, that goes about torturing people that are still committing sin because they were disobeying God and it's not good for the world ☺️.

    There was a scenario of a sinner who got the decree and went ahead to kill himself before the judgment day, but shockingly, he was brought back to life by the angels of hell so he could face the torture of hell. Crazy!😂


    Do I know whether Hell's judgment is from God or Satan?

    The movie is suspenseful; I almost believed that the hell's judgement was from God, but no way, it's still not clear, and they pushed us into a more suspenseful zone by making us wait to get to the concluding story in the next season. Yeah, this is the bad part of the movi...its second season is yet to be released😢


    It's a K-drama series, released in November 2021. The lead cast are; Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, won Jin-A, Park Jung-min, Kim Mi-soo, Lee Re, Kim Shin-rok, Ryu Kyung-soo, Yank Ik-Joon etc

    The season 1 has just 6 episodes and each of them are less than 1hr 10mins, so it's an easy watch.

    A lot of crazy things happened in the movie, and I'll recommend it to you if you like dark fantasy movies.

    It's 5star⭐ for me

  5. Hellbound ( Jiok ) - an superb 2021 Korea fantasy series, available on Netflix.@valentin861588d

    Hellbound ( Jiok ) - an superb 2021 Korea fantasy series, available on Netflix.

    South Korea!! - a country that, from a historical point of view, has survived of the numerous attempts to colonize the Japanese, the conflicts with the Soviets and the threats of those from the north. Interestingly, some of the most important businesses in the world were born in this country: - LG, Hyundai, Daewoo and Samsung. Okay, so friends from today, from my point of view, Korea is a new Hollywood. And this is only due to the fact that lately they have managed to create to my surprise, many beautiful films. I think we've all heard of the movie, Squid Game .... Ok, but how many stopped to watch it !!? - I recommend with confidence, it's something super good - it doesn't offer boring moments.

    Ok, just watch this.

    Finally, i recently managed to discover a new super fantastic Korean series that is available on the Netflix streaming platform. The series is titled, Hellbound ( Jiok ) - is one of the most interesting and promising series, with a story directed at another level. Honestly, i'm currently in the 5th episode - yep and i'm going to continue. This series has captivated my attention since the first episode and is one of the only series i have watched and felt that intense emotion, especially watching it.

    **In general, i don't like dramas or those horror movies, but when a certain cinematic creation combines these two genres with action and suspense - it already manages to move something from me. I think that little by little i will become a small fan of Korean series.**

    ⏮◀️⏹▶️⏭

    **So this Korean creation, Hellbound is a fantasy series in which we are presented with certain mysterious beings who come from another world, who condemn human beings to death and of course will execute the sentence of these humans supposed  full of sins. Interestingly, in all the chaos caused by the appearance of these supernatural beings, the leader of a religious sect will be noticed.**

    ⏮◀️⏹▶️⏭

    **Synopsis** >**Hell seems to have erupted in Seoul. In front of the assembled crowds, mysterious beings hand out verdicts, and unearthly creatures appear just in time to brutally kill the damned, burning them at the stake. Amidst the absolute chaos unleashed by these supernatural events, the imposing voice of Jung Jinsu, the leader of a rising new religious organization, the New Truth, pervades. He claims that only sinners are doomed and that these apparitions are, in fact, divine interventions to correct people. A group of blind believers, named Arrowhead, take the task of punishing those who deviate from the divine path into their own hands. Hell rules the earth.**

    Min Hyejin, a lawyer, contradicts President Jung by claiming that the damnation processions are simply supernatural events. Together with a handful of people, she tries to protect the damned and restore freedom to mankind, freeing her from the chains of the gods. They have to deal with the chaos instigated by the New Truth.

    ⏮◀️⏹▶️⏭

    Okay, here are a few small personal thoughts - nothing more. In reality, in the general way in the Christian world and not only, there is a fundamental conception according to which the creator that many of us call God, made up the world from a "seen world and an unseen world". In reality, it is possible that there are more worlds parallel to the one in which we continue to live our lives ...... ok, something speculative, anyway it is something that at the moment humanity cannot find those primordial answers. But, i'm convinced that one day ... we will be able to find those answers that shake each of us. I kept thinking - given the fact that there are many religious groups all over the world, what could happen to human civilization around the world - when we come into direct contact with a certain species of aliens.

    It is undeniable that in infinite space other forms of life should be present - what would happen to humanity when we come in contact with those beings !! ??? We already have high-performance telescopes looking for signs of life in the infinite universe .... yep, and scientists are looking for answers to many questions to which they are 100% convinced that many of us ask them at certain times in our lives. "What really exists on and off the planet earth?" Is there really heaven or hell? What is life? How could certain religious beliefs be affected if we found out that there were aliens? Or about those various stories of creation? What would be the reality of those beautiful stories in which the creation of the world is told to us!!!

    img_0.9009189126274065.jpg

    Already in the public sphere, there are worrying rumors that in the near future, when we come in contact with other life forms - there is a chance that many human will beings believe that an alien being could be Goddess or God or i know what .... In such a way as to idolize them .... Yep, a pretty serious thing. There are many people who look forward to the return of some gods of antiquity who have simply done nothing but cause, war, pain and much suffering in the souls of those people of ancient times. Even Christianity has produced and still continues to cause much discomfort in society. Why do we like to continue to pity ourselves in the face of assumptions!!?? To be afraid !!? Or the unbridled desire to be driven from behind by an entity that we just don't know his real name....or maybe how he look!!?? What does it really mean to be free, in the truest sense of the word!!?

    That's why i really liked the series, Hellbound - it's the series that i recommend with confidence. It is the first fantastic series, in which the writer together with those who directed this cinematic creation - had the imagination and the courage to present certain important aspects of human civilization when we come into direct contact with certain supernatural forms of life.

    Ok, as long as there is no negativity in our civilized society, i generally have nothing to do with the religions, beliefs or perceptions of each of us - That is, in reality religion is a necessity because it tries to bring to a simplified level those perceptions about the world we live in. However, let's be a little more serious and realistic - thanks to those religious representatives,..... religious groups or many sects ... it happens that we often fall into small traps....yep, to many times....Why!?? Many, priests, monks or leaders of those religious groups, are accustomed to practicing politics by influencing parishioners in a rather fun way - yep, many make a lot of money by taking advantage of the naivety of those people who seek that precious state of peace, that precious relief. Since the beginning of this year, to my amazement, i have been able to watch on Youtube videos that came from inside religious gatherings - videos in which certain religious leaders urged their parishioners to buy and invest in certain cryptocurrencies.....c'mons😁😂 .... Yep,🧙‍♂️ it's up to and there in the stage where he simply takes advantage of the naivete and ignorance of those people - a super serious thing that represents only the immorality of those supposed spiritual leaders.

    img_0.1578742675167743.jpg

    Okay, in the end, i hope i don't upset anyone with those words about faith. I'm not saying no,.... the presence of religion in society is good, but when it starts to provoke in the mind and soul of a human being fear and of course the cowardice of living one's life .... yep, it's already too much. Take👨‍🌾🙂care of your valuable🧘‍♂️ time - Cheers🙋‍♂️ to everyone🌍

  6. [ENG + ESP] Hellbound (7.5/10) - "Do you honestly believe true justice can be served through man-made law?"@dedicatedguy1636d

    image.png

    Source

    English

    Español


    Korean productions are what's trendy nowadays. Mostly thanks to the recent success of Squid Game, and all of this is probably influenced by Parasite and the Oscar they won last year. Among the recent Korean productions that have been trying to become the "new Squid Game", the only one that took my attention was Hellbound.

    The idea of the plot seemed very intriguing to me and with a lot of potential to explore all sorts of events with a lot of twists and mysteries. The first time I read about it I thought this was a horror production, but I would describe this series as something that belongs to the dark fantasy genre with a lot of impactful drama.

    The series only has 6 episodes and its ending was unexpected and a bit confusing, but I guess much more information will be revealed in season 2. The biggest mystery of the series isn't even close to being properly understood by the characters so there is still a long way to go.

    What was the series about?

    The story is about people suddenly receiving a scary message from a paranormal huge face that appears to be from another dimension, and this face simply informs the person that he/she is condemned to hell, and it also informs the person of the exact date of his death. When this date arrives, 3 monsters appear out of nowhere, and just like crazy Hulks, they beat the person and ultimately they incinerate their victims.

    The comparison with Hulks is appropriate because they also look like Hulk, the only difference is that they are black and they also have smoke coming out of their thick skin. Their eyes are also bright and yellowish. Imagine how terrifying it must be to have 3 of these evil Hulks chasing you and wanting to kill you. We will see several of these scenes throughout the 6 episodes.

    The origins of the paranormal face and the evil monsters are completely unknown and I consider this is the biggest mystery of the series. They simply started to appear and no one is able to stop them.

    One of the things I would have liked to see is the military using their resources to stop these monsters. Shooting missiles at them, or something like that might be worth trying, but this idea wasn't even mentioned in the series.

    As the story advances, more and more people are learning about these monsters, and eventually, pretty much everyone is aware of their existence and scared of them. A cult appears who claims to have a full understanding of what's happening, and they begin to speak about God and how God's plan is super sacred and cannot be stopped.

    Las producciones coreanas son lo que está de moda hoy en día. Sobre todo gracias al reciente éxito de Squid Game, y todo esto probablemente influenciado por Parasite y el Oscar que ganó el año pasado. Entre las recientes producciones coreanas que han intentado convertirse en el "nuevo Squid Game", la única que me llamó la atención fue Hellbound.

    La idea de la trama me pareció muy intrigante y con mucho potencial para explorar todo tipo de eventos con muchos giros y misterios. La primera vez que leí sobre ella pensé que se trataba de una producción de terror, pero yo describiría esta serie como algo que pertenece al género de la fantasía oscura con mucho dramatismo impactante.

    La serie solo tiene 6 episodios y su final fue inesperado y un poco confuso, pero supongo que se revelará mucha más información en la segunda temporada. El mayor misterio de la serie ni siquiera está cerca de ser comprendido correctamente por los personajes, así que aún queda mucho camino por recorrer.

    ¿De qué trata la serie?

    La historia trata de personas que de repente reciben un mensaje aterrador de una cara enorme paranormal que parece ser de otra dimensión, y esta cara simplemente le informa a la persona que está condenada al infierno, y también le informa de la fecha exacta de su muerte. Cuando esta fecha llega, 3 monstruos aparecen de la nada, y al igual que unos Hulks locos, golpean a la persona y finalmente incineran a sus víctimas.

    La comparación con Hulks es apropiada porque se parecen a Hulk, la única diferencia es que son negros y además les sale humo de su gruesa piel. Sus ojos también son brillantes y amarillentos. Imagínate lo terrorífico que debe ser tener a 3 de estos malvados Hulks persiguiéndote y queriendo matarte. Veremos varias de estas escenas a lo largo de los 6 episodios.

    El origen de la cara paranormal y de los monstruos malignos es completamente desconocido y considero que es el mayor misterio de la serie. Simplemente han empezado a aparecer y nadie es capaz de detenerlos.

    Una de las cosas que me hubiera gustado ver es a los militares utilizando sus recursos para detener a estos monstruos. Dispararles misiles o algo así podría valer la pena, pero esta idea ni siquiera se mencionó en la serie.

    A medida que avanza la historia, más y más gente se va enterando de la existencia de estos monstruos, y finalmente, casi todo el mundo es consciente de su existencia y les tienen miedo. Aparece una secta que dice tener una comprensión total de lo que está sucediendo, y comienzan a hablar de Dios y de cómo el plan de Dios es súper sagrado y no puede ser detenido.

    The series makes a decent job exploring the possible ramifications in our society if we are suddenly forced to face a threat that is completely out of our control and not only that, the threat never leaves. There will be chaos, a lot of cruelty between humans, lies, and a lot of surprises as well.

    We will see a detective and a lawyer get involved in all of this mess, but sadly, no military and no one with a lot of firing power. I really think that with a threat like this, extreme measures would have to be taken but the only extreme thing this series shows is the cult and how they become more corrupted and radical as time goes on.

    The mystery regarding the origin of these strange creatures is intriguing for me, and I hope this gets addressed in their second season because the first one focused mostly in how this threat affected our society. This season was enjoyable, but it had a confusing ending that I don't think any viewer will understand, and I still feel the plot is very far from reaching the proper explanation behind the mystery.

    Main names associated with the series

    Sang-ho Yeon worked as a director and as one of the writers of this series, he is especially known for directing and writing the zombie movie Train to Busan, which is honestly one of the best zombie movies I have seen in my life. He also directed and wrote Peninsula, which is the sequel but it had a smaller budget and it wasn't as good.

    The other writer is Kyu-Seok Choi, and this is only the second time this person works as a writer for a production, the first time was in a little-known series called Awl.

    The actor Yoo Ah-in played a cult leader that's trying to make sense of the craziness that's happening in the world with the evil monsters, and as more and more people learn about this terrifying reality, his cult will begin to grow exponentially. Some of his previous acting jobs were in Voice of Silence, #Alive, and in Chicago Typewriter.

    The actress Kim Hyun-joo will play a lawyer that doesn't take the cult seriously and is also trying to protect her client from the deadly prophecies and monsters. All sorts of people will get involved trying to decipher the nature of these monsters, including the police as well. She previously worked in the series Undercover, Watcher and Fantastic.

    La serie hace un trabajo decente explorando las posibles ramificaciones en nuestra sociedad si de repente nos vemos obligados a enfrentarnos a una amenaza que está completamente fuera de nuestro control y no sólo eso, la amenaza nunca se va. Habrá caos, mucha crueldad entre los humanos, mentiras y también muchas sorpresas.

    Veremos a un detective y a un abogado involucrarse en todo este embrollo, pero lamentablemente, ningún militar y nadie con mucho poder de fuego. Realmente creo que con una amenaza como esta habría que tomar medidas extremas pero lo único extremo que muestra esta serie es la secta y cómo se van corrompiendo y radicalizando a medida que pasa el tiempo.

    El misterio sobre el origen de estas extrañas criaturas me resulta intrigante, y espero que se aborde en su segunda temporada porque la primera se centró sobre todo en cómo afectaba esta amenaza a nuestra sociedad. Esta temporada fue disfrutable, pero tuvo un final confuso que no creo que ningún espectador entienda, y aún siento que la trama está muy lejos de llegar a la explicación adecuada detrás del misterio.

    Principales nombres asociados a la serie

    Sang-ho Yeon trabajó como director y como uno de los guionistas de esta serie, es especialmente conocido por dirigir y escribir la película de zombis Train to Busan, que sinceramente es una de las mejores películas de zombis que he visto en mi vida. También dirigió y escribió Península, que es la secuela pero tuvo un presupuesto menor y no fue tan buena.

    El otro guionista es Kyu-Seok Choi, y es sólo la segunda vez que esta persona trabaja como guionista para una producción, la primera vez fue en una serie poco conocida llamada Awl.

    El actor Yoo Ah-in interpretó a un líder de una secta que intenta dar sentido a la locura que está ocurriendo en el mundo con los monstruos malignos, y a medida que más y más gente se entera de esta terrorífica realidad, su secta comenzará a crecer exponencialmente. Algunos de sus anteriores trabajos como actor fueron en Voice of Silence, #Alive y en Chicago Typewriter.

    La actriz Kim Hyun-joo interpretará a una abogada que no se toma en serio la secta y que además intenta proteger a su cliente de las profecías mortales y los monstruos. Todo tipo de personas se involucrarán tratando de descifrar la naturaleza de estos monstruos, incluyendo también a la policía. Anteriormente trabajó en las series Undercover, Watcher y Fantastic.

    Jeong Min Park plays a character who works as a TV producer and will become the most important character in the second half of the season. He is mostly known in his home country where he has participated in local productions such as Miracle: Letters to the President, Mr. Sunshine, and Entourage.

    How were the performance from the cast, the scenery and CGI?

    The performance of the cast was great. I watched the dubbed version so I couldn't hear the original voices but I liked how they expressed all of their emotions through their facial gestures and general body moves. There was only 1 character who I disliked very much since the beginning, the crazy streamer, but luckily he doesn't spend much time on the screen.

    The scenery was nice, but I would have liked to see how people from other parts of the world reacted to the sudden presence of these monsters in their lives. Something more global like the series Sense8 or the current Invasion series where the viewer can see characters from all over the world. These monsters are so terrifying and completely out of our control that the solution should probably need to be a collaboration of people from different countries.

    The CGI was acceptable. The monsters look a bit like mean versions of Hulk, they looked cool but the paranormal face that informs the victims about the date of their demise could have been better.

    Final thoughts

    Hellbound would be a fine choice to watch if the mix between dark fantasy, drama, and mystery looks intriguing to you. Have in mind the biggest mystery of this show is quite complex to approach in only 6 episodes, so the series mostly focused on how people react and begin to live with this crazy paranormal threat, and not so much on properly investigating it and finding explanations and possible solutions. Hopefully, this will change in season 2.

    In short words, the series shows credible series of events from a modern civilization after they realize they are forced to live with a threat that looks paranormal and even religious according to some characters, and how rapid and desperate changes begin to take place as more and more people are willing to do anything to avoid getting slaughtered by the evil monsters. It was surely a fun watch.

    Thanks for reading!

    Jeong Min Park interpreta a un personaje que trabaja como productor de televisión y que se convertirá en el personaje más importante de la segunda mitad de la temporada. Es conocido sobre todo en su país de origen, donde ha participado en producciones locales como Miracle: Cartas al Presidente, Mr. Sunshine y Entourage.

    ¿Cómo fue la actuación del reparto, la escenografía y el CGI?

    La actuación del reparto fue genial. Vi la versión doblada, así que no pude escuchar las voces originales, pero me gustó cómo expresaron todas sus emociones a través de sus gestos faciales y movimientos generales del cuerpo. Sólo hubo 1 personaje que me desagradó mucho desde el principio, el streamer loco, pero por suerte no pasa mucho tiempo en pantalla.

    La escenografía estuvo bien hecha, pero me hubiera gustado ver cómo reaccionaba la gente de otras partes del mundo ante la repentina presencia de estos monstruos en sus vidas. Algo más global como la serie Sense8 o la actual Invasión donde el espectador puede ver personajes de todo el mundo. Estos monstruos son tan terroríficos y están completamente fuera de nuestro control que la solución probablemente debería ser una colaboración de personas de diferentes países.

    El CGI era aceptable. Los monstruos parecen un poco versiones malas de Hulk, se veían bien pero la cara paranormal que informa a las víctimas sobre la fecha de su desaparición podría haber sido mejor.

    Pensamientos finales

    Hellbound sería una buena opción para ver si la mezcla entre fantasía oscura, drama y misterio te parece intrigante. Hay que tener en cuenta que el mayor misterio de esta serie es bastante complejo de abordar en sólo 6 episodios, por lo que la serie se centró principalmente en cómo la gente reacciona y empieza a vivir con esta loca amenaza paranormal, y no tanto en investigarla adecuadamente y encontrar explicaciones y posibles soluciones. Esperemos que esto cambie en la segunda temporada.

    En pocas palabras, la serie muestra una serie de eventos creíbles de una civilización moderna después de que se dan cuenta de que se ven obligados a vivir con una amenaza que parece paranormal e incluso religiosa según algunos personajes, y cómo comienzan a producirse cambios rápidos y desesperados a medida que más y más gente está dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa para evitar ser masacrados por los malvados monstruos. Sin duda fue una experiencia divertida.

    ¡Gracias por leer!

  7. Non-spoiler mini-review of "Hellbound" / Mini recenzja "Hellbound"@herosik1656d

    hb.jpg

    Netflix has released another good series from Koreans, and I feel like we're going to get more of them in the future. I read on the internet (while the hype on "Squid Games" was on) that Koreans create a lot of such series. Those showing life similarly, but slightly differently, are more likely to reach for spiritual and fantasy elements, more often using special effects. Actually, it does not surprise me a bit, a friend from the time of studies said that the Japanese like to create series with such a plot and atmosphere. And since their culture and society are partially permeating (as in the case of Poland-Germany or Poland-England), such borrowings are nothing new. For this reason, I will not reveal much. I mentioned "Squid Game" and these series for a reason - you can spoil the screening easily. Knowing too much can add too much to yourself, instead of focusing on enjoying the discovery of history.

    Imagine that you are sitting with a group of friends in a cafe or bar and talking about new things that you have read about on the internet or seen on YouTube. Some supernatural phenomenon, something like a 3rd degree close encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization, a portal like in the "Dark" series, or the discovery of God, or something like that. Some of you make fun of it, some do not have a firm opinion, some believe it. After a few minutes of talking, you can see this phenomenon with your own eyes. You are eyewitnesses of the beginning of the changes that will take place in people's lives. Hellbound shows how people gradually adapt to their new life - in a bad and in a gray way. I would like to write "good", but unfortunately I can't - this series portrays our negative qualities too well. At first I did not notice it, but from the perspective of the whole, I can see that the creators present to us, above all, evil in the form of cynicism, ignorance, stupidity, greed, greed, power. I do not want to spoil it, because it will be better for you to see it yourself (this way the ideas will take root in you better), so let me put it this - you will see some similarities to the situation with Covid-19 vaccines and how citizens approach them the world. Both those concerning one side, i.e. supporters and opponents. Or a better example - this is a good commentary on various pseudo-religions or sects that use phenomena unknown to mankind (interpreting them in a way that suits them) to thereby make people brain water and subject them to the will of the Guru. Probably this was not the intention of the creators, but nevertheless - great social commentary. It's like "Death Note" met "Squid Game" and made a merger, kind of. Hmm, but after thinking about it, I think I was a bit wrong, because "Hellbound" fortunately shows positive, human qualities.

    As for the actors, none of them attracted my particular attention. I assume this is because this is a regular series that would normally end up on TV. Well, but that SG took it, they bought more of them to stuff the timeline with something. It is similar with the rest of the aspects. The monsters do not look tragic, but it's not a big problem for Netflix to add several thousand dollars to refine them. So all in all, it's a pretty good show that is a bit thought-provoking, but nothing special. Nevertheless, it is worth watching - it is not long and the subject matter is quite interesting.

    Netflix opublikował kolejny dobry serial od Koreańczyków i coś czuję, że w przyszłości dostaniemy ich więcej. Czytałem w internecie (gdy trwał hype na "Squid Games"), że Koreańczycy tworzą mnóstwo takich seriali. Pokazujących życie podobnie, ale nieco inaczej, chętniej sięgają po elementy duchowe, fantasy, częściej korzystające z efektów specjalnych. W sumie to trochę mnie to nie dziwi, koleżanka z czasów studiów opowiadała że Japończycy lubią tworzyć seriale z taką fabułą i klimatem. A że ich kultura i społeczeństwo częściowo się przenika (jak np. w przypadku Polski-Niemiec, czy Polski-Anglii), to takie zapożyczenia nie są niczym nowym. Z tego powodu, nie zdradzę zbyt wiele. Nie bez powodu wspomniałem o "Squid Game" i tych serialach - łatwo można popsuć seans spoilerem. Człowiek znając zbyt wiele, może sobie dopowiedzieć zbyt dużo, zamiast skupić się na czerpaniu przyjemności z odkrywania historii.

    Wyobraźcie sobie, że siedzicie z grupą znajomych w kawiarni lub barze i rozmawiacie na temat nowych rzeczy, o których przeczytaliście w internecie lub zobaczyliście na YouTube. Jakieś nadnaturalne zjawisko, coś jak bliskie spotkanie 3 stopnia z cywilizacją pozaziemską, portalu jak w serialu "Dark" lub odkrycie Boga, względnie - czegoś w tym rodzaju. Część z Was wyśmiewa to, część nie ma zdecydowanej opinii, część w to wierzy. Po kilku minutach rozmowy, widzicie to zjawisko na własne oczy. Jesteście naocznymi świadkami początku zmian, jakie zajdą w ludzkich życiach. "Hellbound" pokazuje jak ludzie stopniowo się adaptują do nowego życia - w zły, jak i szary sposób. Chciałbym napisać "dobry", ale niestety nie mogę - ten serial zbyt dobrze portretuje nasze negatywne cechy. Początkowo mi się to nie rzucało w oczy, ale z perspektywy całości widzę, że twórcy prezentują nam przede wszystkim zło w postaci cynizmu, ignorancji, głupoty, zachłanności, chciwości, władzy. Nie chcę spoilerować, bo lepiej będzie dla Was, jak sami to dostrzeżecie (w ten sposób te idee lepiej zakorzenią się w Was), więc powiem tak - dostrzeżecie kilka podobieństw do sytuacji ze szczepionkami na Covid-19 i tego, jak podchodzą do nich obywatele świata. Zarówno te dotyczące jednej strony, tj. zwolenników, jak i przeciwników. Albo lepszy przykład - jest to dobry komentarz do różnych pseudo-religii lub sekt, które wykorzystują nieznane ludzkości zjawiska (interpretując je na taki sposób, jaki im pasuje), by w ten sposób zrobić ludziom wodę z mózgu i podporządkować ich woli Guru. Pewnie nie to było zamiarem twórców, niemniej - świetny komentarz społeczny. Tak jakby "Death Note" spotkało się ze "Squid Game" i zrobiły fuzję, w pewnym sensie. Hm, jednak po przemyśleniu stwierdzam, że trochę się pomyliłem, bo "Hellbound" na szczęście pokazuje też pozytywne, ludzkie cechy.

    Jeśli chodzi o aktorów, to żaden z nich nie zwrócił mojej szczególnej uwagi. Zakładam, że to wynika z tego, iż jest to zwykły serial, który normalnie trafiłby do telewizji. No ale że SG przyjęło się, to kupili ich więcej, by czymś wypchać timeline. Podobnie jest z resztą aspektów. Potwory co prawda nie wyglądają tragicznie, ale to akurat nie jest duży problem, by Netflix dorzucił kilkanaście tysięcy dolarów, by je dopracować. Zatem reasumując, jest to całkiem niezły serial, który trochę skłania do przemyśleń, ale nie jest niczym wyjątkowym. Niemniej warto obejrzeć - nie jest długi, a tematyka jest dość ciekawa.

  8. Hellbound is an interesting watch@trumpman1678d

    In case you haven't heard about it yet, Hellbound is the latest Korean Netflix hit, with some claiming it is as good as squid games.

    I found the story quite interesting and original while the series touches multiple genres. A bit of horror, a bit of drama, a bit of metaphysical, a bit of detective/police action and plenty of philosophical bs about good,bad, sin etc.

    Similar to all the Korean stuff I have watched on Netflix, the production and the casting are top notch. I didn't like much the CGI that was used for the "angels" but I guess this is more of a personal taste.

    Hellbound is only six episodes long and I binge watched them in one go. I am sure many will love this series, but personally after the third episode I just watched it to get over with it. It's definitely an interesting watch, it just wasn't something that clicked with me. Also, I didn't like how the series didn't answer even a single question, heck the ending creates even more.

    If a second season comes out I will probably watch it...but if it doesn't...well..I won't give a single fuck 😅

    Give it a watch, there's a good chance you will love it!
