Netflix has once again delivered as the science fiction series skyrocketed in popularity upon its release. "Black Knight" features prominent stars in Kim WooBin, Song SeungHeon, and Esom, along with rising actor Kang YouSeok.
The Netflix show is based on the webtoon of the same name and is set 40 years into the future, after a comet strikes Earth. This turns the Korean peninsula into an arid desert. The survivors find themselves split into a hierarchy system in which the upper class lives in comfort while the lower class, or refugees, struggle to survive.
In a lawless land of polluted air and scarce resources, couriers are considered heroes as they brave the outside to deliver precious goods like food and oxygen to the people. These couriers must be battle ready, as they face the constant risk of being targeted by bands of raiders and thieves. 5-8 (Kim WooBin) is a legendary courier known for his physical prowess and acts as the central figure in "Black Knight".
