The upcoming Disney+ drama titled Knock Off has announced its premiere schedule and cast lineup. This drama tells the story of a man's struggle as his life drastically changes due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, also known in Korea as the IMF crisis. This significant change leads him to leave his ordinary life as an office worker to become a king in the global counterfeit goods market.

Directed by Park Hyun Suk, who previously succeeded with the dramas Stranger 2, Uncontrollably Fond, and Song of the Bandits, Knock Off promises a deep story and strong characters. The drama is planned to be an 18-episode series that will be released in two parts: the first nine episodes will air in the first half of 2025, while the next nine episodes will be released in the second half.
