I don’t think any of this is a surprise but it’s certainly a welcomed confirmation. The K-drama Knock Off set in the late 90’s onward as a period story of the Korean fashion industry and the counterfeit goods world got mega attention due to the casting of Kim Soo Hyun as the male lead. It was never expected to air this year but could conceivably squeeze in a very late 2024 year end airing date if the production was ambition. But streaming platform Disney+ is saving a sure fire thing for next year as it confirmed this weekend with the release of its schedule that Knock Off will air sometime in 2025. The confirmation also put to rest the female lead question and its for sure Jo Boa, and Kwon Nara will be a supporting female lead with rising young actress Kim Shi Eun as her younger sister role. Now that doesn’t mean any of the actresses is the romantic interest for the male lead, just that Jo Boa is likely getting the most substantive role and screentime is all. For once K-netizens aren’t fighting or focusing on billing and just excited about such a star-studded cast and so am I!
