Black Knight Accused of Plagiarism

Kim Woo Bin's Black Knight is accused of plagiarizing a video game.



On May 16, Netflix responded to the reports of the drama plagiarizing the video game Death Stranding, released in 2019.

The streaming giant denied all allegations and stated that the drama was based on a webtoon by Lee Yoon Kyun, released last 2016.

Black Knight is a post-apocalyptic drama which tells of deliverymen risking their lives to deliver much needed oxygen and stars Kim Woo Bin. Meanwhile, Death Stranding is quite similar as it tells of a delivery man which delivers supplies in post-apocalyptic United States.

Some says that the premise of the two is the same, but the webtoon was released 3 years before Tha release of the video game, so the allegations may be put to rest by just that fact.

Hong Hae In has always had a cold, strong demeanor. And she never shows any emotion at all. I don't think she ever shed a tear (well, we're still on episode 2, so who knows?) but her circumstances are so tragic, its quite tearful for our female lead. Her own mother can't stand her and blames her for her sibling's death. I'm pretty sure this death gave her trauma. Her family hates her guts and is quite a stressful bunch. She has an incurable disease. And the biggest sadness of it all? Her husband, who she thought wants her to live, actually hopes for the opposite. It's good to note that the two are from different worlds. Hyunwoo was the one who was forced to join hers (as she is the chaebol h...
