Awesome show
Everything in this show is so good! The production was just awesome, storyline 10/10 and the actors did incredible. Would recommend for sure.If you like dystopia this is for sure a good watch, it's short but you don't feel like the story is going to quickly.
Loved the acting too, they all did so well. Obviously didn't expect anything else as it had Kim Woo Bin in it as an actor. But everyone did amazingly.
Loved the character of Yoon Sa Wol. It was really well writen character.
Overal an awesome show.

Ineffective dystopian worldbuilding
As much as its attempt on the dystopian worldbuilding, it never comes effective due to the largely sloppy plotlines. A world set in the recovery stage of a worldwide mass destruction after a comet disaster, most of the scenes and situations didn't feel believable as it lacks surrealism, the imagination it has is also pretty vague. The main villain is a resource hogging conglomerate heir, the protagonist is a rebel employee planning to wage a war to change the system for refugees, it's a great source material yet this Netflix adaptation was poorly done, the direction of the story is unconvincing, tension between characters is weak and everything just seems forgettable.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
The Deliveryman delivered but the drama leaves room for improvement
If you look at the drama as a whole package. I think it was good. The VFX , action sequences and the Sci-Fi elements are chef's kiss. But the story never got me going from the start till the very end. And that made me a bit disappointed since netflix kdramas that are airing on a single day have been delivering in the past. But the same could not be said about the same for this drama.Our team of deliveryman were cool. They were like Batman in the gotham city. They were too overwhelming for the villains. They were Superman with no super power to be exact.
The concept of the drama was great. But you just want the drama to just end. Acting was good from the cast. But nobody left a lasting impression in this drama. Even though the cast is pretty good. The story couldn’t get the best from them. Still it is not a bad watch considering you love this genre or don't have anything else to watch.

Delusa è dire poco!
È una serie sci-fi, distopica, apocalittica, ma dimenticabile!un cast stellare che non si è per nulla valorizzaro per una storia banale e a volte sconnessa. A tratti noiosa e insensata.
Sono delusa: aspettavo il lancio da mesi. Kim Woo Bin è tra i miei attori preferiti e il suo personaggio era privo di personalità in questo caso. Dall'altro canto, anche tutti gli altri personaggi erano inconsistenti. Ad un certo punto mi è sembrato che si tentasse di accostare la storia un po' a Squid Game, forzando la trama.
Ho notato anche alcuni buchi di trama.
Sono sinceramente contenta che non siano stati fatti più di 6 episodi. Se dovesse uscire un'altra stagione (che è improbabile da quel che ho visto) non la guarderei di sicuro.

The world without Cheonmyeong or without smoking?
If they had to choose an actor with the most expressive eyes to make us watch him wear a mask, they sure did the right choice casting Kim Woo Bin.🔸That would be weird to expect another Blade Runner from Cho Ui Seok, known for his (boring) "action-only-and-forever" movie Master, and you lose nothing skipping Black Knight as there is nothing you haven't already seen in Master and Alienoid with Kim Woo Bin. The production design might be good, so as the storyline about Yoon Sa Wol - "from zero to hero" type that is always satisfying - but that's it. I honestly don't give a damn about the "villainous villain" who wants to destroy the world for some reason, or looking for a treatment for his who-knows-what disease, or whatever else he does, ending with a huge exhausting action sequence that has no purpose.
🔸I finished this overly extended movie, and it immediately faded away from my mind. There is no memorable OST, no intro. It is soapy.
The story failed in building emotional connections with it's characters, and I wished for all the refugees to die if they remained so naive, faceless, and didn't try to protect themselves. Theoretically, 5-8, Sa Wol and his company are representatives of the refugees, but de facto they are on totally different levels of intelligence and power.
And, seriously, it's so easy to steal a QR code. Where are all the hackers in that town? Or at least people with smartphone cameras?

Catchy to watch but disappointing
This is only selling because its on Netflix...if it was on other platform it wouldn't have sold wellwatched the trailer and had high expectations but on watching the 2 eps i got disappointed considering the fact that i hyped the drama when the trailer was released
The show is draggy, the fighting scene isn't that good..Kim woo bin should have chose a better script than this his acting was good but the show dragged him down......I knew at first that the show will not b best when I read the webtoon could not finish 2 eps tho I expected better from the life action adaption dat was why I tried watching
i will stop here maybe i can come back to make some changes on my review after finishing the show

Took me to a whole new dimension for a brief 6 episodes.
The plot is brief, concise and presents the main points of the story in 6 short episodes. There were no unnecessary plots, it portrayed, the cause, the effect and the final result in the most straightforward manner.I saw some people say the lack of emotions of the characters was a drawback but I think the characters were just perfect. Given their situation in a post-apocalyptic world, if they start crying and bawling at the deaths surrounding them, then that's when they will go out of character. They weren't inhuman, they were just surviving, and no matter what they needed to go ahead with their lives.
I like this fresh idea for a post-apocalyptic drama and a nice change of scenery. The cast was perfect and yes Kim Woo Bin nailed it!

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Black Knight " is a sci fi drama taking place in a dystopian future.The drama is full of action, political manipulation, and, underneath all that, human relationships.
The action scenes, first of all, were pretty enjoyable, with nicely choreographed fighting scenes and interesting twists.
The main plot is also intriguing, with the relationship between the boy and the Knight being the center and heart of it.
However, this drama is one of those series that needed more time to properly develop. Unfortunately, its length meant that the story is rushed and everything happened too quickly and too sudden.
Therefore, the political drama was not fully explored, in addition to being predictable and boring.
On the other hand, the performance were great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Were six episodes enough to pull off this wonderfully imagined SyFy Action Drama?
Black KnightA celestial catastrophe causes Korea to change to a desert where air quality is drastically limited. Only 1% of the population survived and now live in a masked world. To receive goods and services in this dystopia, the population is divided into the general, special, core population members, separated by QR codes encoded into their skin. Those of the population not chosen for either of these special groups receiving special treatment are termed refugees. Humans can disassociate from humanity in times of extreme crisis.
The heroes of this new dystopia are the Deliverymen. They are the ones who fight off brutal Hunters, seeking to confiscate these special delivered goods. The Hunters try to steal from those supply cargo trucks called Relief Supplies Transport Vehicles the Deliverymen drive. The Deliverymen bringing replacement goods to the people in the serviced populations are Rockstars to the public. Out of the shadows of this fighting force of martial arts specialists is the legendary Deliveryman 5-8 (Woo Bin) who is the superhero among super heroes.
This drama had a great ideal premise and could have been a great SyFy drama. I feel that the scriptwriter who transposed the brilliant Webtoon (By the same name) into a drama could have handled his brilliant material better. The writer seemed to have lost his way through this potential hit. Black Knight was reduced to allowing violence to take the place of a well written script, in my opinion. The cast was stellar, led by Woo Bin as the legendary 5-8 Deliveryman and Kang YouSeok as the dreamer and population castaway, seeking to become a Deliveryman like his hero 5-8.
I found myself fast-forwarding past certain violent scenes and I was left a little empty waiting for this potential hit to take off. This drama has six episodes. More episodes could have been used to develop the wonderfully imagined characters living in this wonderfully imagined life-interrupted world in this drama.

Simple life
I was expecting so much and was disappointed instead.The story was too simple it got boring, especially in ep 2 as it never delved into too much detail in how they got there in the first place and wished it went into more detail.
How the boy became a mutant would've lit more interest as they are explored properly only a few snatched of conversation
The acting performance was on point yet was lacking in how the deliveryman came together and how 5-8 became a legend. Glad we got a little of his backstory though as it was interesting. Sa wol was an interesting person but I never fully understood how the mutant was and why he was so important because of this. Wished their was more episodes

This review may contain spoilers
Imagine depending on oxygen to live under the command of greedy human beings, what a life is this!? this is the plot.The CGI, besides being excessive, is horrible. There are some fanservices.
The South Korean series is fairly fast-paced, but isn't particularly interested in whether everything is explained and makes sense. The plot is dyslexic, why would anyone respect the speed limit in the desert transporting rare material in a post apocalyptic world being military!?
Why in a super modern truck the glass is not electric but on the crank!?
Netflix recently signed an investment agreement with South Korea to produce and air more K-dramas. Black Knight is an example of this, people who are familiar with K-dramas know that this is far from being a South Korean production, it is better for Netflix to leave it to those who understand the subject or if it continues to stick its finger in adapting K-dramas in a way Americanized will end up boycotted.

Dystopie d'anticipation spectaculaire...
Black Knight est un coup de cœur grâce à son image, ses personnages puissants et son ambiance vibrante...Dès les premières scènes, Choi Ui Seok m'avait dans ses filets. Visuellement spectaculaire, Black Knight nous régale par sa photographie et ses effets incroyables. On reconnaît certains lieux emblématiques de la capitale sud-coréenne, tandis qu'on se prend de fascination pour l'univers jauni qui prend vie sous nos yeux. Avec une touche de Mad Max, l'image fait illusion.
Son esthétique n'est pas son seul atout. Le drama regorge de scènes d'action aussi poignantes et percutantes les unes que les autres. Plusieurs captent l'attention. Une épreuve passée par Yoon Sa Wol lors d'un recrutement ou encore un flash-back de 5-8 qui se révèle être une scène forte de par son action et par ses non-dits.
Les scènes sont bien menées et lisibles afin de nous plonger que plus loin dans le quotidien de chaque personnage.
En parlant de personnage, le casting est époustouflant. Kim Woo Bin fascine et donne l'impression que rien ne peut l'arrêter. L'acteur dégage un charisme puissant en tant que livreur, mais aussi meneur avec une voix profonde et une assurance brute.
Kang You Seok est la touche d'humilité avec un rôle bien déterminé. L'acteur confirme sa place avec une interprétation touchante et forte, bien que son personnage manque de matière.
Esom se révèle plus intéressante ici qu'en tant que tueuse à gages. Tout comme Song Seung Heon signe un personnage élitiste et détestable (et on aime le haïr). Le reste du casting est tout aussi excellent.
Derrière ses qualités, on regrette cependant un manque. S'il arrive que les dramas soient trop longs, ici on aurait voulu quelques épisodes supplémentaires afin de terminer pleinement ce qui était commencé, notamment sur l'axe des personnages de Sa Wol, Papy ou encore la Présidente Chae. Ainsi qu'un OST principal en anglais (mais sans trop de surprise sur ce point).
Black Knight dénonce également. Les plus aisés vivent, les autres crèvent. Et malgré ses petits défauts, pas de doute qu'on ressent l'envie de rejoindre ces chevaliers noirs qui sont devenus un symbole d'espoir.
