The Korean film “Along with the Gods” sparked much discussion upon its release in Taiwan, becoming the hottest movie during the Christmas and New Year holiday season. It surpassed NT$100 million in box office revenue within ten days of its release in Taiwan, with global earnings exceeding 80 billion KRW. In addition to the hell scenes, which garnered attention for their stunning special effects, the real-life filming locations also attracted interest.
 

This blockbuster film, with a budget of 40 billion KRW, was released in Korea on December 20, 2017, two days later in Taiwan, and on January 11, 2018, in Hong Kong. It will also be released in India and Malaysia. The film extensively uses special effects throughout its scenes, with the underworld and hell settings being particularly chilling. Many viewers left the theater more contemplative about the existence and nature of the “afterlife.” The film carries a strong moral message, warning and exhorting viewers to live righteously.

[Hell Scenes]

 
Vacuum Abyss: Judgment on “Violence”
 
Boiling Fire Hell: Judgment on whether one has “killed,” with even thoughts of murder being scrutinized
 
Sword Tree Forest: Hell for judging “lying”
※ The presiding judge in this round is played by Kim Su-an as the Great King Taesan. Kim Su-an, who starred in Train to Busan and The Battleship Island, also makes a cameo here, drawing renewed attention.

Frozen Gorge: Judgment on “injustice,” where the punished are frozen inside blocks of ice

River of the Dead: Judgment on “sloth”
 
Heaven and Earth Mirror: Judgment on “betrayal,” where the only way to pass is through beautiful betrayal
※ The presiding judge in this round is played by popular actress Kim Ha-neul as the Great King Songje. Due to her different makeup style, many viewers initially failed to recognize her.
 

In addition, the human world scene at the opening fire rescue sequence was filmed in front of the CNN building in Busan, located in an office district rather than a bustling area.
