Dismantling the Crooked World Crafted by Cheonmyeong Group,Dreaming of an Equal Society
The upcoming series, Black Knight, promises to be an action-packed, adrenaline-fueled adventure that will leave you breathless. The recently released main trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into a post-apocalyptic universe where the Korean peninsula has become a desert wasteland and only one percent of the population clings to life. The devastated look of Seoul seems outright surreal.

The legendary deliveryman 5-8 (Kim Woo-bin) works as a lifeline to mankind, delivering oxygen and other necessities in the daytime. At nightfall, however, he transforms into a Black Knight with a plot to upend the order created by Cheonmyeong Group, the de facto ruler of the devastated world. Ryu Seok (Song Seung-heon), the ruthless heir to Cheonmyeong Group, clashes with 5-8 as he defends his vision of a world with no place for the refugees. Seol-ah (Esom), a major at the Defense Intelligence Command, warns 5-8 that chaos may spiral out of hand, while Sa-wol, a refugee who aspires of becoming a Black Knight, boldly climbs onto 5-8’s truck, eager to join the fight.
“That’s exactly what we’re trying to change.”

On top of all the drama is the exhilarating action sequences, including heart-stopping car chases on sand dunes, intense firefights, and expertly choreographed hand-to-hand combat. Director Cho Ui-seok aimed to create “more down-to-earth and lively” scenes compared to the original webtoon. While 5-8 plots to overturn the crooked world order, Ryu Seok’s dark ambitions, Sa-wol’s pursuit of becoming a Black Knight, and Seol-ah’s investigation into the sinister secrets of Cheonmyeong’s dirty secrets are all in play. All eyes are on the expansive universe that Black Knight is set to unveil.
Clear your schedule and prepare to be captivated: Black Knight will be available worldwide on May 12, exclusively on Netflix.

[Yoo In-na]
Many fans will recognize Yoo In-na from her hit dramas including Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Touch Your Heart, The Spies Who Loved Me, and more. After appearing in Snowdrop, there is much excitement at the actress’s return to the rom-com genre. Yoo In-na commented, “Yes, I’m returning after 3 years with a rom-com. I think I tried to show a more human side and less of a loveable and cute side compared to my past roles. My character has more of a bold and rough side. I made an effort to show the real side of Bo-ra.” Yoo In-na has never disappointed with her characters, so we can definitely look forward to another great rom-com from her.
2. Realistic Lessons About Love
[Yoon Hyun-min, Yoo In-na]
With a dating coach as the main character, one can assume this series will provide some lessons on love. Each character has a different dating style and there are realistic lessons we can learn from them. With different keywords such as strategy, sincerity, and freedom, viewers will be able to learn how these factors change for each of the characters. Director Lee Tae-gon shared, “I think everyone is curious about the essence of dating. I think if there was a definite rule about dating, we wouldn’t have so many dramas and films about it. Our drama doesn’t give you the solution but it helps you contemplate what love is and what you should do.”
3. Relatable Characters & Couples
[Yoo In-na, Yoon Hyun-min,]
The relatable characters and couples of True to Love will surely draw you in. Through them, we can empathize and relate to their different situations and relationship stages. Director Lee Tae-gon said, “There are lot of diverse couples portrayed through the series such as a middle-aged couple, a couple in the early stages of their relationship, a married couple who are experiencing marital boredom, as well as a couple who have broken up and are wondering how they can love now. We made it diverse so that whatever kind of couple you are, you can see yourself in these couples.” The varied representation will help anyone be able to relate.
4. It’s Really Funny
[Yoon Hyun-min, Joo Sang-wook, Hwang Chan-sung]
You can’t leave out the comedy from a rom-com. Rest assured, True to Love will be very funny. Yoo In-na herself talked about how funny the series is as well as her 3 co-stars. She commented, “Every moment on set was so fun and Yoon Hyun-min was eager to be even funnier.” Joo Sang-wook added, “Hyun-min is really fun, both his personality and the way he talks. I believe you’ll be able to enjoy the show and laugh.” Yoo In-na also said, “Chan-sung is really funny and he wants to make people laugh.” Hwang Chan-sung shared that the 3 of them had a competition of sorts to be the funniest. We can’t wait to see all of the funny moments throughout the show!
5. It’s Comforting & Uplifting
[Yoo In-na]
With the weight of everyday life and problems on our shoulders, sometimes we just need a comforting show to watch that will uplift our mood. Director Lee Tae-gon commented, “I’ve been doing dramas for over 30 years. The goal of becoming a drama director was I hoped to make my life a bit brighter. This dream of mine started when I was young, but it continues now. The world appears to be going through a dark tunnel, so my heart is heavy. I hope that this drama can make people smile and comfort people.” True to Love will be a show that can soothe and cheer you up after a long day at work or school.
