HELLBOUND

Hellbound is a cult horror. It depicts how scary it would be if someone who
sinned were instantly punished. Hellbound is set up in a dystopian Korea. Here,
everyone who commits sin is punished by supernatural beings who appear out of
nowhere, called ‘executors of hell’. As the entire nation is in chaos, a cult
named ‘New Truth Society’ starts gaining power.



The element of horror that Hellbound plays with is the fear of the people. And
nobody notices anything fishy besides the despair that they are facing except
for a handful of people. Hellbound is a horror Kdrama which will leave you in a
cold sweat because it is close to reality. Moreover, it was also at the top of
the charts worldwide while it was ongoing on Netflix

KINGDOM

A historical horror Kdrama? Yes, please! Kim Eun Hee, the writer behind amazing
shows such as Signal and Jirisan, takes the tried-and-tested zombie apocalypse
trope and adds a historical twist to it. The main cast includes brilliant actors
like Joo Ji Hoon (Medical Top Team), Ryu Seung Ryong (The Painter of the World),
Bae Doo Na (The Silent Sea), and Kim Sung Gyu (The King of Pigs). Furthermore,
this Kdrama is set up in the Joseon era. It follows Lee Chang, the crown prince,
as he tries to find the truth behind his father’s death.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
