Currently revelling in the success of recently-uploaded Don Lee-starring film “Badland Hunters” and already teasing the second season of “Squid Game,” Netflix has unveiled a major slate of Korean films and series for 2024.
In August last year, Netflix publicly committed to investing $2.5 billion on Korean content over the next four years. That reflected both Netflix’s position as the country’s leading streamer, with an estimated 6.5 million subscribers, and its adopted role as one of the biggest exporters of Korean film and TV content.
“We were able to make this [investment] decision because we have great confidence that the Korean creative industry will continue to tell great stories,” said the streamer’s co-chief Ted Sarandos at the time of the spending commitment.
The Tuesday reveal is a mix of: first-look images and updates for previously announced projects (including the retitled Park Chan-wook-produced film “Uprising” and the second season...

Two-part extravaganzas have always been huge gambles for their creative teams. Hollywood is no stranger to shooting back-to-back sequels, from “The Matrix” to “The Hobbit” to Netflix's recent “Rebel Moon” saga, and Asian cinema has followed a similar path. John Woo split his expansive Han Dynasty battle epic “Red Cliff” in two for much of its worldwide distribution, while Bollywood's “Gangs of Wasseypur”(with its initial 319 minute runtime) has seen many iterations, first as two films, then as eight much shorter episodes for its Netflix distribution. In all of these cases, there is a gravitas that comes with the filmmaker's vision, bursting with ideas and flourishes that cannot be contained in the average one-off cinema experience. Yet with that comes a crucial hope for the goodwill of the audience, that they're willing to come back, buy another ticket and sit back down to see the conclusion of the story.

My opinion regarding K-dramas has always been quite negative. Essentially I considered them glorified soap operas, more of a means to create an exportable star system than to produce content of quality. “Squid Game” however, and its unprecedented success as much as its quality in all aspects had me questioning my previous opinion, and thus “forcing” me to check more K-dramas to see if anything has changed. “Black Night”, with its big budget, impressive cast and the combination of sci-fi, dystopia and action seemed like an excellent option. Alas, it turned out to be another title where impression has taken the place of substance. Let us take things from the beginning though.

There’s nothing drab about Netflix’s Korean action series Black Knight, which released all six Season 1 episodes on Friday. Although set in a dystopia, the show doesn’t feel like a hopeless slug — at least in the first episode — thanks its charismatic leads, who bring much-welcomed humor to the dark story.
The backstory: 40 years prior to the events of Episode 1, a comet struck the earth and sent most continents plunging into the sea. Only one percent of the population survived, and the Korean Peninsula turned into a desert.

Yet another Korean dystopian drama graces our screens, but this time there are no zombies involved. The post-apocalyptic K-drama titled Black Knight or Deliveryman, as it is known in Korean, makes the peninsula a desert land with no oxygen to breathe. There are many red flags right there, but the show goes as far as to create an underground world with sectors that are divided by cast, essentially like the Hunger Games or, if you want to make random ties, the Netflix film The Platform. This time the classes go underground, and the lower you go, the richer they are. In theory, Black Knight sounds wonderful, but in practice, the show doesn’t translate very well specifically because there is so much to cover in much less time.
It is 2071, and around forty years ago, there was a comet that hit the earth and destroyed 99% of the world’s population.

Black Knight is a South Korean series written and directed by Choi Ui-seok. It stars Kim Woo-bin.
Black Knight is a great South Korean series, this time in the apocalyptic sense of the story, gathering all the experience of the industry that, since Train to Busan, has given such good results.
Black Knight (2023-)
Black Knight is full of intrigue and subplots, but the action scenes are the queens of the show, standing out in rhythm and giving agility to each episode, which splashes with fights, chases, car races and so on.
Above all, it stands out in its outdoor setting, with a Korea turned into a desert, and it resorts to brutal photographic contrast.
A production with quality and with clear ideas of what it wants and, above all, with the well-learnt lesson of what works for the public. It knows how to play its cards and give in...

Netflix announced Kim Woo-bin would star in one of the anticipated K-drama lineups for 2023. The actor will be the male lead in the sci-fi drama Black Knight. Set to release in mid-May, Black Knight is based on a webtoon by Lee Yoon-kyun. While most K-drama adaptations stick to the source material, Black Knight makes a noticeable tweak to the character Sa-wol from the webtoon.
Actor Kang Yoo-seok and ‘Black Knight’ webtoon character Sa-wol | via Netflix ‘Black Knight’ takes place in a dystopian world where deliverymen help humanity stay alive
South Korea is unrecognizable in the K-drama’s official posters, as it became a barren wasteland by 2071. In a dystopian world, air pollution has become extreme and changed humanity’s way of life. The only way for the remaining 1% to survive is by purchasing oxygen and wearing filtration masks outside the safe zone.
While humanity stays safe indoors, a select group of people risks their lives.

Cj Enm, which includes Korea’s largest film producer and distributor, is using the Asian Contents & Film Market this week to launch a handful of new titles while basking in its recent box office and festival successes.
“The Boys” gets its premiere as a special screening withing the Busan International Film Festival’s expanded Korean Cinema Today section. This crime drama delves into the lives of three teenage boys, falsely accused and jailed for a brutal robbery-murder case. Fifteen years later, they seek a retrial in a bid to prove their innocence.
