Yeon Sang-ho, director of Train to Busan, to direct Netflix drama Hellraiser

According to official news from Netflix, Yeon Sang-ho, the director of "Train to Busan" and its sequel "Peninsula", will direct Netflix's original new drama "Hellbound" (tentative translation).

"Hell Messenger" is based on the Korean webtoon "Hell" written by Choi Kyu-seok. The story tells the story of "when a group of supernatural creatures appear and summon people to hell, everyone tries to survive in the chaos. A new religious group interprets them as the will of God."

Another comic by Choi Kyu-seok was adapted into a TV series "Awl" in 2015, starring Ji Hyun-woo and Kim Ga-eun. It is reported that "Hell Messenger" will also allude to social reality issues like "Awl". In February, there were rumors that Yoo Ah-in recently received the script of Yeon Sang-ho's new work "Hell Messenger" and was considering whether to star in it. Kim Hyun-joo, Park Jung-min, and Yang Ik-joon are also expected to star in it.
