There are so many good Korean dramas up for release soon, and one that's on the top of our list is Black Knight starring our OG crush Kim Woo Bin. You read that right, chingus—he's back for another K-drama, and we are ~screaming~! It's been over a year since his last project (Netflix's Our Blues, also starring his longtime love Shin Min Ah!), so we gathered all the important details just for you. *winks*
Here's what you need to know about Black Knight:
What's the plot of Black Knight?
Black Knight is an action thriller K-drama that is based on Lee Yoon Gyun's webtoon Delivery Knight about a dystopian future and how people fight to survive.
After a meteor crash lands into Earth and destroys everything in its path, the atmosphere is changed irrepareably. Oxygen grew scarce due to extreme air pollution, forcing people to wear masks and rely on deliveries of the precious resource in order to survive. Deliverymen, as the name suggests, deliver oxygen and other necessities that keep people alive. And for many, becoming a deliveryman is their only hope of lifting themselves out of poverty.
Who's part of the Black Knight cast?
Kim Woo Bin leads the stellar cast as 5-8, a legend among deliverymen for his strength and ability to complete his tasks without fail. But hiding behind his cool, sarcastic demeanor is a lot of rage—and only a select few know why.
Fresh off her scene-stealing role as Cha Min Hee in Kill Boksoon, Esom plays Major Seol-ah of the Defense Intelligence Command. Strict and no-nonsense with both her colleagues and loved ones, Seol-ah's loyalty is put to the test when her morals conflict with her duty.
Song Seung Heon portrays Cheonmyeong Group heir Ryu Seok, a charismatic and extremely ambitious businessman. His goal? To have everyone acknowledge Cheonmyeong's power, at all costs.
Don't let his fresh face fool you—Kang Yoo Seok has been acting since 2018, and played his first main role in the 2020 film The Interviewees. In Black Knight, Yoo Seok is Sa-wol, a refugee who dreams of becoming the next legendary deliveryman.
The cast also includes Kim Eui Sung as a quick-witted grandfather and all-around mechanic, Nam Kyung Eup as Chairman Ryu (Ryu Seok's father), Jin Kyung as the nations' president, and Roh Yoon Seo as Seul-ah, Major Seol-ah's younger sister.
