SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Yonhap) -- Netflix Korea’s original series “Hellbound” is chosen as the Best Horror Series of 2021 by the American review website, Rotten Tomatoes.

The Korean horror series maintained a critic rating of 97% and won first place for the Best Horror Series category of the Golden Tomato Awards, announced Netflix, Monday.
