Disney Plus is gearing up to dominate 2025 with its highly anticipated drama Knock-Off, a show promising grand scale and a compelling story.
Knock-Off tells the story of a man whose life is turned upside down by the IMF crisis, transforming him from an ordinary office worker into the king of the global counterfeit market. Set to release in 2025, the series stars Kim Soo Hyun as Kim Sung Joon, the rising emperor of the counterfeit world.
Kim Soo Hyun’s character, Kim Sung Joon, loses his job due to the IMF crisis and subsequently enters the counterfeit world, eventually becoming the vice president of the counterfeit market, Sammul Market. The actor promises to deliver a career-defining performance as he portrays Kim Sung Joon’s rise to power, not just in Korea but across the global counterfeit market. With previous hits like The Queen of Tears, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, and My Love from the Star, Kim Soo Hyun has proven himself as a “box office guarantee,” and fans are eager to see him shine once again as the ultimate boss in the counterfeit world.
Joining him is Jo Bo Ah, an actress known for her versatile charm in dramas like Tale of the Nine-Tailed and Military Prosecutor Doberman. Jo Bo Ah will play Song Hye Jung, Kim Sung Joon’s ex-girlfriend and a special police officer dedicated to cracking down on counterfeit goods. Her character’s intense, cat-and-mouse relationship with Kim Sung Joon, the king of the counterfeit world, is set to bring tension and excitement to the storyline. The fresh visual chemistry and new dynamic between Kim Soo Hyun and Jo Bo Ah in Knock-Off are already building anticipation.
Knock-Off will be directed by Park Hyun Seok, known for his work on Song of the Bandits and Stranger 2, and written by Han Jung Hoon, the writer behind dramas Song of the Bandits, Bad Guys, and Squad 38, adding to the credibility and excitement of the project.
Knock-Off is slated for a global release exclusively on Disney Plus in 2025.
