"A World without order. A Knight without law." Netflix has debuted the main official trailer for a new sci-fi series from Korea called Black Knight, adapted from the comic book series known as Delivery Knight. This will be available for streaming in May - and it looks legit. Black Knight is set in the year 2071, when it is impossible to live without a respirator due to extreme air pollution. The Korean peninsula is a wasteland, and delivery drivers play a crucial role in maintaining humanity. The legendary delivery man who goes by the name "5-8" with extraordinary fighting skills meets a refugee who dreams of becoming a delivery driver, the only hope of refugees. "In a world without air, a rebel knight delivers hope. The one hope to overturn the world." Starring Kim Woo-bin as 5-8, Kang Yoo-seok as Sa-wol, Esom, Song Seung-heon, Kim Eui-sung, Jin Kyung, Lee Hak-joo, and Lee Sang-hee.

Queenmaker is a new Korean Netflix series directed by Jin Suk Oh and starring Kim Hee-ae, Luna So-ri and Su-yeong ryu.
Queenmaker is a curious Korean series with a very, very special protagonist played by Kim Hee-ae. A mix of comedy and drama quite, quite interesting and, above all, with a different flavor.
A series that makes the “bad guys” (supposedly) a little more human (just a little).
Plot
An excellent image consultant does the impossible: she cleans up the image of the meanest and cruelest bosses in town. After suffering an accident, she faces her greatest challenge: to make a woman lawyer becomes the mayor.
Is it really possible to give a lawyer a good image?
About the series
A fun and entertaining series that, at least, has a different plot, and that is appreciated among a grid of repetitive series and hackneyed plots.
Yes, South Korea is currently...
