The hero to save mankind is finally here as the most-awaited dystopian Kdrama series Black Knight comes out exclusively on Netflix today, May 12.
Netflix just released the main trailer a few days ago and we're definitely in for a ride as we were given a glimpse on how action-packed and adrenaline-fueled this show will be!
Plot
Black Knight tackles the story of the legendary deliveryman 5-8 (Kim Woo-bin) who 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 is 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.
