Peering into the world of Netflix’s Black Knight

by missvictrix

Netflix recently dropped stills for their upcoming sci-fi series Black Knight, giving us some great character shots and further cementing the dystopic and dusty tone of this story. How long did I spend staring at that Kim Woo-bin (Our Blues) header image? Don’t ask, because I don’t want to put it in writing.

In the desolate futuristic setting of Black Knight, Kim Woo-bin plays a ~~super sexy black ops agent~~ deliveryman known as 5-8. Except instead of delivering your Amazon package, he’s delivering oxygen tanks, because you know, we humans need that. In the world of Black Knight, oxygen is more valuable than gold, and the people that deliver it have the high-risk, high-reward equation going for them.

But because watching Kim Woo-bin walk around in a gas mask and deliver boxes isn’t enough of a plot (well, I mean, it is for me, but I can’t speak for everyone), he has to go up against the big bad of this story’s universe. That big bad is chaebol heir Song Seung-heon (Voice 4), who can manipulate and wield wrongful power with the best of the baddies.

Joining our hero is the refugee and aspiring deliveryman Kang Yoo-seok (Payback). In the stills below he’s practically unrecognizable as compared to his turn as the righteous young prosecutor in Payback, but I’m excited to see him here, as one of my favorite up-and-comers. And we can’t forget Esom (Taxi Driver) — she plays a high-ranking military officer who helped rescue Kang Yoo-seok’s character and gets caught in the fray.

Written and directed by filmmaker Jo Eui-seok (Golden Slumber, Master), Black Knight drops its 6 episodes on May 12.

There will be dozens of comments rightfully raving and adoring Kim Woo-bin's gorgeous, gorgeous stills (my god, that man is hot). But I just have to add some love for the stunning Esom. I don't know how she managed to have such flawless, dewy skin and perfectly bone-straight hair in an oxygen-less dystopia, but I'm not complaining. I guess hot people can maintain peak hotness even when the Earth is dying.

I am so ready for this! I am so delighted to see Kim Woo-bin back in action and healthy again! And yes to Esom and Song seung-heon. I just hope Woo-bin gets to go without his mask for long periods of time so we can gaze at that handsome face many of us were missing! (Along with his acting mind you)
