Plot Overview

Set in a world still reeling from the hellbound decrees – supernatural judgments condemning individuals to hell at a specific time – Season 2 delves deeper into the chaos. The sudden resurrection of Jeong Jin-soo (played by Kim Sung-cheol) and Park Jeong-ja (Kim Shin-rok) adds to the turmoil. Min Hye-jin (Kim Hyun-joo), a lawyer aligned with the secret organization Sodo, continues her fight against the New Truth Society and its militant faction, the Arrowheads.
