What is Black Knight about?

Black Knight, a 2023 South Korean television series, envisions a grim future set in 2071 where civilization grapples with air pollution and disaster after a comet wreaks havoc on the planet. Amid this dystopian backdrop, a cadre of delivery drivers, referred to as the Black Knights, emerges as humanity's lifeline. These drivers are charged with the perilous task of distributing oxygen tanks, a commodity now vital for survival, while navigating hostile landscapes. The series is narrated through the experiences of '5-8', a legendary knight, Ryu Seok, a magnate leveraging the oxygen crisis, and Yoon Sa-wol, a young refugee inspired by the knights' courage. Their journeys encapsulate a society's struggle with adversity, corporate hegemony, and the hopes of the disenfranchised. With its roots in Lee Yun-kyun's webtoon, Black Knight excels in creating a narrative that is both thrilling and reflective of profound environmental and social themes.
