Zosha Millman · Polygon 84.00/100.00

In adapting seven installments of his own Webtoon comic, Choi is able to build a dynamic world, constantly and cleverly laying out the groundwork for the next step, and in the execution, Yen never lets up.

Nick Allen · RogerEbert.com 70.00/100.00

“Hellbound” is the kind of horror series that visibly grows with each episode, while it becomes apparent how much the storytellers have considered the scenario at hand in a very grounded sense.

Joel Keller · Decider 70.00/100.00

Despite how slow and disjointed the first episode of Hellbound is, it sets up an interesting story that could go just about anywhere.

Ed Power · The Telegraph 60.00/100.00

As a hokey mystery there is lots to enjoy in these six episodes. Squid Game fans will, however, find it all too easy to wriggle free of Hellbound’s squishy grip.

Brian Tallerico · The Playlist 58.00/100.00

Even as “Hellbound” struggles in its second act, one has to admire Yeon Sang-ho’s ambition here, taking his own webtoon and really expanding it into a multi-character, multi-arc story that sometimes almost feels too full of ideas.
