A STAR original K-Drama, currently called Knock Off, revealed on July 13, 2024 (KST) that actor Kim Mu Yeol is the latest to join the cast lineup. With Kim Mu Yeol, Knock Off now has at least 12 confirmed roles cast.

The lineup has K-Drama fans in complete astonishment.

• “Other than the fact it’s streaming on Disney+, I like everything about this show so far.”
• “How exciting!”
• “Whoa, the cast lineup is on fire. But, knowing Disney+, I wouldn’t expect too much. I’ve never liked a single K-Drama from Disney+.”
• “I can’t wait!!!”
• “This cast lineup is insane.”
• “Why Disney+ though?”
• “With a cast lineup like that AND a plot about the IMF era… This is going be big.”

According to casting news reports, Knock Off tells the story of Kim Sung Joon, an ordinary man who, after losing his job during the Asian financial crisis—known as the “IMF era” to Koreans—dives into counterfeit business to emerge as a global “Counterfeit King.”

Set to start filming in August 2024, it was revealed in actress Kwon Nara‘s casting report that Knock Off will be available on Disney+ for global streaming.
