    The webtoon ‘Delivery Knight,’ created by Lee Yoon Kyun, will serve as the inspiration for the next South Korean original series that will be distributed by Netflix. Cho Ui Seok, who is most known for his work as a screenwriter and director on Cold Eyes and Master, is in charge of directing the series.

    By the year 2071, barely 1% of the world’s population has made it through the ravages caused by the deadly air pollution that has spread throughout the earth. Because of the severe air pollution, those who have survived have been forced into a strict social class and are required to wear oexygen masks whenever they leave their homes. This society has been reorganized. The citizens rely on the Knights, who are a group of specially trained delivery drivers, to provide for their needs and to defend them from potential criminals.

    When the first-look still of Kim Woo-bin portraying the legendary deliveryman ‘5-8’ was released in January, it sparked a wave of excitement among fans. In “a world without air”, the deliverymen, also known as the black knights, deliver oxygen and necessities to the 1% of the population who lived through the extreme desertification.

    The first teaser poster for Black Knight offers a glimpse into the series’s setting, a world completely engulfed in sand. A used oxygen mask lies discarded on a barren landscape, where the ruins of collapsed high-rise buildings loom in the distance with no signs of life. A figure resembling the legendary deliveryman 5-8 walks away from a massive truck, leaving viewers with a sense of intrigue for the story to unfold.

    The bar is set high, as all eyes are on the fantastic ensemble of seasoned actors. Kim Woo-bin plays the legendary deliveryman, a.k.a ‘5-8’, Song Seung-heon as the only heir to the powerful Cheonmyeong Group, Kang You-seok as a boy who dreams of becoming a deliveryman and Esom as the Defense Intelligence Command major. These characters bring depth and complexity to the narrative, each with unique perspectives and motivations.
