Black Knight- Premise

The series began with an intense introduction of the deliverymen and their role set in Korea in 2071 after Korea gets hit by a comet and only 1% of the country’s original population remains. The deliverers of Korea in Black Knight are responsible for delivering oxygen masks and groceries to the remaining population of Korea, as people aren’t allowed to come out of their designated area due to the deteriorating environmental conditions of Korea.

Korea in 2017 had an extremely high-level population that turned the majority of the country into a wasteland, and the remaining population was born, lived, and then died in the area they were designated to after segregation based on their social status. Humans cannot survive without respirators in the outside world thus, they have to always wear them if they plan to go outside, as the sun also only glimmers through dust and haze.

The air core is a technology built by the chairman of the Cheonmyeong group is a technology for manufacturing breathable air, and the areas outside the designated colonies lack this oxygen core. Chairman of Cheonmyeong has complete control over human life, as he was the one behind the idea that saved a small percentage of humans.

The heir of Cheomyeong is suffering from an unknown disease and desperately needs help to survive and prolong his life. He is the one responsible for the segregation of Korean society into General District, which is the surface level, followed by the population allowed to live under a multi layered-city under a dome. The most suppressed people in the remaining society are refugees, and the plot mainly focuses on the legendary knight who is known among the people by the number 5’8; he is also the survivor of the massacre, which took place nine years before Korea today.

Sa-Wol is a refugee who meets 5’8 by accident, and a revelation gets made about her being a rare mutant who can survive injuries due to her parents getting exposed to mine radiation. After the death of 5’7, a deliveryman, Sa-wol, is trained by 5’8 to become a delivery driver after she beats the other competitors in the competition for new deliverymen selection.

Ryu Seok’s truth is revealed to people after it is discovered by 5’8, and he gets killed for his misdeeds. Ryu-Seok would pollute the air to sell manufactured oxygen to the people residing in the general district. It gets revealed that Ryu-seok does experiments on children to find the cure for his illness.
