Netflix K-Drama Black Knight Plot
Black Knight is a Korean science fiction drama set in 2071. In this world, the air is already polluted, and respirator masks are necessary for survival. The pollution that has wiped off the majority of the world’s population has reduced the human population to less than 1%. As exemplified by the highly discriminatory systems on the Korean Peninsula, these hard living conditions inevitably led to social stratification and strife.
The entire society relies on delivery drivers to transport all needed commodities, and for the majority of refugees, becoming a delivery driver is their sole means of life. One of these delivery drivers, known only as 5-8, is proficient in combat and self-defense, which inspires young Sawol to become a delivery driver himself.
