Kim Woo-Bin's K-Drama Black Knight: Release date, plot, and everything you need to know

Kim Woo-bin is set to make a comeback with his latest Korean series, 'Black Knight', in which he will portray a character quite unlike any other he has played before. Joining him in this dystopian drama are Song Seung-heon, Kang Yoo-seok, and Esom in leading roles. 'Black Knight' is set in the year 2071, a time where air pollution has ravaged the world, making elite delivery drivers essential for survival, with Kim Woo-bin playing the role of one such driver, known as '5-8'.

The six-episode series will premiere globally on Netflix on May 12th. During an interview with Screen Rant, Kim Woo-bin discussed the extensive work he put into developing his character for 'Black Knight'. He explained how he seeks out hints from the script, discusses his character with the director, and then imagines the aspects of the role that are not explicitly written into the script.

Based on Lee Yoon-gyun's webtoon 'Delivery Knight,' 'Black Knight' is an exploration of a dystopian world where humanity's survival relies heavily on the Black Knights, a group of elite delivery drivers. The series' official synopsis states that they are far from your average deliverymen.


The show has reportedly enlisted the expertise of VFX Studio Westworld, the same visual effects team behind other popular Korean dramas such as 'Sweet Home,' 'All Of Us Are Dead,' and the global hit, 'Squid Game.'
