Replacing Yoo Ah In as the main character in part 2 of "The Judgment from Hell", Kim Sung Cheol received positive reactions.

"Hellbound" is a film that revolves around the story of an organization that always spreads fear to people.

In part 2, the plot becomes more complicated when Min Hye Jin (Kim Hyun Joo) - Sodo's lawyer gets entangled with the New Truth Society, the Arrowhead faction and the shocking revival of leader Jung Jin Soo (Kim Sung Cheol) and Park Jung Ja (Kim Shin Rok).

According to the producers, Kim Sung Cheol's character Jung Jin Soo is the founding president of the New Truth Society - who once spread the false belief that sinners will be sent to hell, now returning in a changed form.

As the replacement for "Actor King" Yoo Ah In, Kim Sung Cheol is highly appreciated by the media. According to Sports Donga, the actor has similar charm to his senior and impressive acting ability, so he will not have much difficulty getting into character.

Meanwhile, YTN commented that Kim Sung Cheol completely mastered his role. His plus point was that he focused on deeply expressing the pain and fear inside Jung Jin Soo - who has experienced hell, and is also a chairman who is hiding the truth.

"Kim Sung Cheol gave an impressive performance to open season 2 and vividly portrayed the character Jung Jin Soo with a captivating voice even after his revival" - YTN wrote.

This was proven when Kim Sung Cheol received many positive reviews after the preview of episodes 1-3 of the movie "Hellbound 2" at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, which opened on October 2.

Sharing about the project, the actor said: "Honestly, I don't feel much pressure appearing in a work that was very successful last season.

The script is quite detailed. What I saw in the trailer was in the script. Since the setting is 8 years later, I tried to imagine how painful it would be to stay in hell for that long.

I'm a person who tends to imagine a lot, and I think the hell we describe will be a new kind of hell - a psychological hell."

Along with the 9X star, "Hellbound 2" has the participation of Kim Hyun Joo, Kim Shin Rok, Lee Dong Hee, Yang Ik Joon... Especially, the participation of "national sister" Moon Geun Young - as Sunshine - who always appears with impressive makeup and a fierce appearance that attracts attention.

According to the producer, the film will officially air on October 25.
