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.
