Hellbound, which aired in 2021, is adapted from the Webtoon of the same name and garnered immense popularity among viewers. The drama centers on the character Jung Jin Su, portrayed by Yoo Ah In in Season 1 and set to be played by Kim Sung Cheol in Season 2. Jin Su leads a religious group that bears semblance to a cult, predicting people's deaths based on what they perceive as divine justice. However, the narrative takes a twist when a group of individuals begins to challenge this prophecy, leading to unexpected consequences.

Following the green light for its second season, Physical: 100 is set to undergo a complete transformation from its first season. Season two will introduce a fresh setting: an underground mine. This visual motif symbolizes the convergence of greed, sacrifice, competition, and teamwork, providing the perfect backdrop for the unfolding narrative.

While the first season delved into Ancient Greece, the second season shifts the timeline to the 1950s and 1960s. This era was chosen because it marked a period of intense competition and struggle against injustice. Drawing inspiration from the challenges faced during this time, the producers crafted a strong game for the upcoming season.
