K-Drama School – Ep 126: Black Knight and South Korea’s Air Pollution and Delivery Workers

from K-Drama School · host Grace Jung

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the show Black Knight (2023, Netflix) based on a webtoon by cartoonist Lee Yoon-kyoon, adapted for TV and directed by Cho Ui-seok—a former assistant director to Oscar winner Bong Joon-ho in his film Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000). Black Knight raises awareness around the plight of working-class laborers like delivery workers and environmental issues like air pollution. Grace notes how South Korea is increasingly developing narratives dealing with world crises like water shortage and air pollution to posture itself as a developed nation that partakes in world leadership like it does with Black Knight and The Silent Sea (2021).
