BLACK KNIGHT, directed by Cho Ui-seok, is a six-episode series based on a webtoon by creator Lee YunGyun. This adaptation is set in a futuristic and oppressive version of Korea in the year 2071.
In this new world, the fate of humanity rests upon the shoulders of a delivery man who transports oxygen amidst severe air pollution. The storyline primarily revolves around a group of former refugees turned deliverymen who rebel against a merciless entity controlling the oxygen supply.
During a recent virtual press conference, Director Cho and the cast members, including Kim Woo-bin, Song Seng-heon, Esom, and Kang You-seok, revealed additional insights about the show.
Director Cho explained that the series title represents the deliverymen who serve as oxygen providers by day, but transform into a clandestine task force by night.
These individuals safeguard and distribute essential resources to fellow refugees.
Director Cho has directed a few successful movies, but Black Knight marks his first venture into a series. He expressed his admiration for the universe created in the webtoon, and particularly enjoyed the storyline’s setups.
