6. HELLBOUND (2021)
Again it is a horrifying one……Frankly speaking, it has a new concept. So the plot is like actors in this series get punished for their sins they have done in the past.
Also this drama shows us what society will look like if we get under the control of religious communities that have violent and suppressing methods to rule and some mishappenings take place- demons from hell beat sin committers until they die.
According to me, it is the most brutal form of death
