There's a heated moment of her and Yoon Se-ah in a teaser. Looking at that and her character description in the synopsis, I feel like she would be a gray character with a chance of some betrayals.
I'm kinda worried of Hye-yoon because her character seems like the next slandering target of some stupid k-drama watchers who can't differentiate fiction and real life 😭
Honestly, I don't agree if Hellbound is considered average in term of the ideas. The theme and topic are barely brought up on Korean series. However, I do agree that the executions were rather messy.
I think the main problem with Hellbound is that they highlighted about the monsters' execution, but it felt like the thing they actually wanted to emphasize was the topic of religion fascism and totalitarian. I felt that at times both points were disjointed somehow which concluded in people's confusion with the series.
If they really want to emphasize the topic of religion fascism and totalitarian, I think it would be better if they scrap the supernatural elements and apply a more realistic approach like The Handmaid's Tale.
Kyung Yi = The protagonist Yi Kyung/K = The antagonist Grandma = The villain K might be a crazy serial killer, but I personally feel that the grandma seems more sinister and suspicious.
If there's gonna be loveline between the two leads, I'm curious on how it will play out since the teacher is told to be already engaged. Will the teacher's fiance turn out to be a jerk or will she end things with him because she falls for the ML. Hopefully it's not the latter one, because it somehow feels like infidelity which I personally find it's quite uncomfortable to watch.
Tbh, the rating for movies are even more upsetting in this site. A lot of critically acclaimed movies which were nominees or even winners at prestigious awards only got around 7. So basically the rating was based on the popularity and how mass-pleasing it was. That's why I personally don't get affected by the rating. I'm not even a professional after all.
I think it's just a netflix thing yk, you can check on your laptop/tv why is the kdrama rated 16+/18+, i mean…
Yeah I know. They even produced cheap softcores. But many Asians still have prejudice about sex scene, especially if it's done by an actress. Also, most of Korean films which included sex scene barely accessible to other countries, even so they will get censored. For example, the one in Parasite got censored in my country when it was released on cinemas.

Tbh, I like that Netflix has its own aesthetic of K-dramas because it serves something refreshing. But I still have mixed feelings if they start to involve explicit sex scene and nudity. Hopefully, My Name's sex scene isn't true or it's just a subtle one. I'm tired of seeing people in my country dragging Han Sohee as sex scene specialist as if there's no other actress that went more frontal than her.
I changed it into spoiler, but I actually don't understand why it should be tagged as spoiler since it didn't mention any plot point. Also, it could be a warning to the people who might be uncomfortable with it.
It still feels strange to me because so far sex scenes in K-dramas have always been subtle (The farthest they had were the ones like in Nevertheless). This is the first time I saw one that rather explicit and contained nudity. And personally, one of the reasons why I started watching K-dramas because I'm kinda tired with the sex scenes in a lot of Western series.
Why people always expect a drama to be a romance when the main lead is a famous and handsome guy?
I think it's K-drama fans culture, which I personally still don't understand until now. I mean, when a western series announces casting news nobody cares about who will be the couple or if there will be any romance. All they care about are the plot and the casts.
