Disney+’s upcoming drama “Knock Off” has announced its broadcast plans!

“Knock Off” is a story about a man whose life is turned upside down by the 1997 Asian financial crisis (also known in Korea as the IMF crisis), transforming from an ordinary office worker to the king of the global counterfeit market. The drama will be helmed by director Park Hyun Suk of the hit dramas “Forest of Secrets 2” (“Stranger 2”), “Uncontrollably Fond,” and “Song of the Bandits.”
