Overthrowing an evil world dominated by Cheonmyeong Group, the hero of Black Knight aspires to create a world of equality.
Taking a futuristic concept, Black Knight threads on the premise of an air-polluted world in 2071, where people depend on respirator masks to breathe. Only one percent of the human race has survived and a strict social stratification has been established in the deserted lands of the Korean Peninsula.
In the set fictional world, delivery drivers aka “black knights” play a crucial role within this system, and for refugees, becoming a delivery driver is their only hope for survival.
Amid such chaos, Black Knight flows to the story of a legendary delivery driver named “5-8” with exceptional battle skills and a refugee “Sawol” who dreams of following in his footsteps.
Starring Kim Woo Bin as the legendary delivery man and knight 5-8, the show has garnered significant enthusiasm from fans worldwide.
Joining Kim Woo Bin in the lead cast are Song Seung Heon, who portrays the lone heir to the Chunmyung Group, Kang You Seok, who plays a young boy idolizing 5-8, and Esom, who stars as a major at the Defense Intelligence Command.

The One Hope To Change The World
Overthrowing an evil world dominated by Cheonmyeong Group, the hero Black Knight aspires to create a world of equality.
The upcoming series, Black Knight, promises to be an action-packed, adrenaline-fueled adventure that will leave you breathless.
Accordingly, the released main trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into a post-apocalyptic universe where the Korean peninsula has become a desert wasteland and only one percent of the population clings to life. The devastated look of Seoul seems outright surreal.
The legendary deliveryman 5-8 (Kim Woo Bin) works as a lifeline to mankind, delivering oxygen and other necessities in the daytime. At nightfall, however, he transforms into a Black Knight with a plot to upend the order created by Cheonmyeong Group, the de facto ruler of the devastated world.
Ryu Seok (Song Seung Heon), the ruthless heir to Cheonmyeong Group, clashes with 5-8 as he defends his vision of a world with no place for the refugees.
Seol-ah (Esom), a major at the Defense Intelligence Command, warns 5-8 that chaos may spiral out of hand, while Sa-wol, a refugee who aspires of becoming a Black Knight, boldly climbs onto 5-8’s truck, eager to join the fight.
On top of all the drama are the exhilarating action sequences, including heart-stopping car chases on sand dunes, intense firefights, and expertly choreographed hand-to-hand combat.
Director Cho Ui-seok aimed to create “more down-to-earth and lively” scenes compared to the original webtoon. While 5-8 plots to overturn the crooked world order, Ryu Seok’s dark ambitions, Sa-wol’s pursuit of becoming a Black Knight, and Seol-ah’s investigation into the sinister secrets of Cheonmyeong’s dirty secrets are all in play.
All eyes are on the expansive universe that Black Knight is set to unveil.
Clear your schedule and prepare to be captivated: Black Knight will be available worldwide on May 12, exclusively on Netflix.
