Black Knight, a Korean Dystopian Action Drama Starring Kim Woo-bin, Lands Release Date at Netflix
Netflix’s Black Knight is headed your way soon.
The streamer announced Tuesday that the dystopian action series starring Kim Woo-bin will premiere Friday, May 12. Netflix also released the official poster, which you can check out below.
Adapted from Lee Yoon-gyun’s popular webtoon series Delivery Knight, the show tells the story of the Black Knights, the delivery men “who endanger their lives to transport essentials to people in a polluted and dystopian world, where strict social hierarchy is enforced,” according to the official synopsis.
Kim (Our Blues, White Christmas) leads the project as refugee Sa-wol, aka the legendary deliveryman 5-8, as he “takes on the all-powerful Cheonmyeong Group in a dystopian portrayal of Korea devastated by severe air pollution, making it uninhabitable without an oxygen mask.”
“I felt immense happiness while filming this series,” the South Korean actor and model said of the series, “and I sincerely hope that our collective efforts resonate with the viewers, and they too relish every moment of it, just as I did.”
Black Knight also stars Song Seung-heon (Dinner Mate, The Great Show), Kang You-seok (Payback, Melting Me Softly) and Esom (Taxi Driver, Save Me).
Additionally, Master and Cold Eye’s Cho Ui-seok serves as both the director and writer. The series is produced by PROJECT318.
Does anyone know if this is going to be dark, depressing or disturbing?
Well, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian future where you need oxygen masks to survive outside, so I’m gonna go with… nah, it’ll be light and sunny and cheerful.
How man can ask that? Maybe time to visit doctor asking TRT for becoming alpha male. Sounds like weak minded wussy who can`t even watch tv-serie without crying.
Unless TVLine has started referring to actors by their given names, I think a correction is needed about halfway through the article. Kim Woo-bin’s surname is Kim, so instead of “Woo-bin…leads the project,” it should be “Kim…leads the project.”
The way of telling people your full name is opposite between Eastern and Western nations.
Eastern is last name first and first name last.
But how much better title is Delivery Knight, why the heck would they go for a blander one.
Wait in anticipation – love Kim Woo Bin and any show he is in is usually thought provoking and interesting and entertaining. Have not seen a “bad” Kim Woo Bin show yet
I really enjoy Korean dramas and have liked these actors in previous roles. Looking forward to this series!
