Actor Kang Yoo-seok and

Netflix announced Kim Woo-bin would star in one of the anticipated K-drama lineups for 2023. The actor will be the male lead in the sci-fi drama Black Knight. Set to release in mid-May, Black Knight is based on a webtoon by Lee Yoon-kyun. While most K-drama adaptations stick to the source material, Black Knight makes a noticeable tweak to the character Sa-wol from the webtoon.

‘Black Knight’ takes place in a dystopian world where deliverymen help humanity stay alive

South Korea is unrecognizable in the K-drama’s official posters, as it became a barren wasteland by 2071. In a dystopian world, air pollution has become extreme and changed humanity’s way of life. The only way for the remaining 1% to survive is by purchasing oxygen and wearing filtration masks outside the safe zone.
