“Knock Off” Starring Kim Soo Hyun, Jo Bo Ah, And More Confirms Full Cast Lineup

The upcoming drama “Knock Off” has announced its full cast lineup!

“Knock Off” is a story about a man whose life is completely 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 who is known for hit dramas such as “Forest of Secrets 2” (“Stranger 2”), “Uncontrollably Fond,” and “Song of the Bandits.”

Kim Soo Hyun stars as the king of the counterfeit world, Kim Sung Joon, while Jo Bo Ah plays special judicial police officer Song Hye Jung. The full cast of talented actors, set to bring depth to the gripping story, has now been announced.

Yoo Jae Myung plays Kim Man Sik, Kim Sung Joon’s father who introduced him to counterfeiting. He will portray a father-son relationship with Kim Soo Hyun.

Lee Jung Eun will make a special appearance as Park Ae Ja, the retired civil servant and devoted mother of Kim Sung Joon. Kim Eui Sung will also appear as Bae Pil Gu, Bae Nu Ri’s (Bang Hyo Rin’s) uncle and a key figure in the counterfeit market in Busan, adding depth to the story.

Rising star Bang Hyo Rin plays Bae Nu Ri, the chairperson of the counterfeit haven Saemmul Market. Known for her performance in “Hail to Hell,” Bang Hyo Rin will impress as Bae Nu Ri, a young queen of the counterfeit market with a mix of innocence and ruthlessness.

Kwon Nara from “Itaewon Class” will play Moon Yu Bin, a designer of high-end counterfeit bags. Park Se Wan, known for her role in “Victory,” will portray Moon Yu Bin’s younger sister Moon Da Bin, who also makes counterfeit bags. The two actresses who star as sisters are expected to explore intricate relationships with Kim Sung Joon as well as the other characters in Saemmul Market.

Kim Hye Eun plays Jang Ji Soo, Bae Nu Ri’s lawyer and strategist. Go Kyu Pil, known for his unique charm, portrays Tonkatsu, Bae Nu Ri’s right-hand man and the leader of Saemmul Market’s action team.

Kim Moo Yeol will make a special appearance as Baek Jong Min, the leader of the task force investigating counterfeiters Bae Nu Ri and Kim Sung Joon and a prosecutor at the Central District Prosecutor’s Office. Jung Man Sik will play detective Lee Ki Bong, and Kang Mal Geum will portray investigator Jegal Hyun Sook. Their performances are expected to add new dynamic to the show.

“Knock Off” is slated to premiere sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates!
