Dismantling the Crooked World Crafted by Cheonmyeong Group,
Dreaming of an Equal Society
The upcoming series, Black Knight, promises to be an action– packed, adrenaline- fueled adventure that will leave you breathless. The lately released main caravan offers a tantalizing regard into apost-apocalyptic macrocosm where the Korean promontory has come 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.
“That’s exactly what we’re trying to change.”
On top of all the drama is the exhilarating action sequences, including heart– stopping bus chases on sand heaps, violent firefights, and expertly choreographed hand– to- hand combat. Director Cho Ui- seok aimed to produce “ further 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 intentions, Sa- wol’s pursuit of getting a Black Knight, and Seol- ah’s exploration into the sinister secrets of Cheonmyeong’s dirty secrets are each in play. All eyes are on the expansive creation that Black Knight is set to unveil.
Clear your schedule and prepare to be charmed Black Knight will be available worldwide on May 12, simply on Netflix.
