Even if creatives won't admit to it, the K-industry is indubitably chasing the TV ratings success achieved earlier this year by tvN's Queen of Tears , starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won . Who better recreate that onscreen magic than the leading star of the romantic comedy himself! And so, to do just that, Kim Soo Hyun is all set to make his K-drama comeback with upcoming new Disney Plus, Knock Off . The beloved South Korean was initially in talks to join the black comedy in March.
These plans were eventually confirmed, with Destined With You actress Jo Bo Ah also in considerations to star opposite him. On Monday, August 26, Disney Plus officially announced the plans for the series to air in the near future. Fans are already expecting this to be the next big thing, considering the massive fan-following each leading star has.
