- they both have a supernatural element to it

- Both are a fantasy drama full of mystery & horror.
- Had monsters from hell wreak havoc on earth.
- If Hellbound has mysterious religious group which is The New Truth, in Island we have a group of people in white robe which their main purpose remained mysterious other than redirecting people doing evil things in their stead.

While the plot is very different, they both have very raw violence and the stories are told in a very realistic way. They are both social commentary on various subjects, and you can tell they were written by the same person (original animated movies).

Both series have sociological elements. The topic of death is explored in both series. In "The Killing Vote," a death sentence is given due to a crime committed, and in "Hellbound," it was believed that the individuals who were killed had committed a crime.

If you enjoyed 'Sweet Home,' I recommend diving into 'Hellbound,' as both series share a gripping blend of intense storytelling and supernatural elements that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The trailer of Hellbound has very similar vibes with the Webtoon of Island;
both soon-to-be-dramas webtoon adaptions with supernatural monsters chasing characters

Both explore how evil spirits and evil within oneself can lead to humans attacking each other.
Uncanny Counter is a bit more light and cartoonish in delivery while Hellbound is set up more like a dystopian alternate universe.

It is similar since both dramas story plot is circled in a phenomena which it deals with strange objects and creatures from beyond the earth that will eventually enter earth to deal with humans plus the genre talks about supernatural, thrill and suspense.

Also this two dramas are both similar in terms of the occupations of the characters in the series how it will be interconnected with the evil spirits and mysterious phenomena

Hellbound is not the least bit romantic but the atmosphere is the same..
Dark
Gore
Supernatural
Mystery, fantasy and lore

We werent really sure what was going on but all is slowly revealed.

Both are occult dramas and involve mysterious supernatural beings entering into the mortal world. Occult, mystery, and supernatural.
