Critics are in love with this twisty thriller series about Kim Mo-mi, an everyday office worker who is deeply insecure about her looks.

In this dystopian vision of the future, only 1% of the population has survived a world devastated by toxic air pollution. A group of delivery men, known as 'Knights', traverse the dangerous wastelands to bring oxygen, masks, and food to the few surviving refugees. Knight 5-8 (played by former model Kim Woo-bin) finds a teenage protegee shortly before uncovering a web of corruption that he knows must be stopped.
Black Knight is a lot of fun, and there seems to have been one upside to the apocalypse – all known survivors are simply GORGEOUS.
