Kim Woo-bin dons the role of a legendary deliveryman in Black Knight

Netflix’s upcoming action thriller K-Drama Black Knight is set to stun the world with its intriguing plot featuring Kim Woo-bin in a new light.

The series narrates the story of a legendary deliveryman who goes by the name 5-8. He encounters a refugee, Sa Wol, who dreams of becoming a deliveryman, which is the only bastion of hope for refugees.

Deliverymen are the only force that can reckon with the terrorizing organization Chun Myung Group, which is driven by the solitary agenda of ruling the world by viciously dominating the populace with cruelty and force.

Kim Woo-bin will portray the role of the renowned delivery knight, 5-8, who nobody can defeat. Song Seung-heon will play the role of the antagonist Ryu Seok, the only son of the chairman of Chun Myung Group, Ryu Hae-jin.

Kang You-seok will play the role of Sa Wol, a refugee who longs to join the renowned 5-8 and is driven to be a delivery knight. Esom will portray the role of Seol Ah, a major in military intelligence who treats Sa Wol like a family and is responsible for looking after her.

The latest poster offers a sneak peek at the legendary delivery knight, 5-8, who is seen exiting his van and arriving with a parcel in his hands. The Chun Myung Group emblem is printed on the package.

The text in the poster proclaims, "Oxygen is now out for delivery." This gives some indication as to what may be included within the package.

The remaining one per cent of mankind has been stratified due to desertification in Korea. Deliverymen have developed into positions that play an extraordinarily significant role in society.

It is now up to the delivery knight, who is set against the background of a barren globe coated in sand and dust, to put his life in danger to save his homeland.

Black Knight is written and directed by Director Choi Ui-seok.
