After ‘Queen of Tears‘, Kim Soo-hyun is set to star in ‘Knock Off‘ co-starring Jo Bo-ah. The upcoming K-drama follows the story of a man who becomes a counterfeit goods king after losing his job during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
In a recent interview with Esquire, Soo-hyun revealed what was the hardest part of portraying Kim Seong-jun in ‘Knock Off‘. The actor said, “The hardest part of playing Seong-jun is that he has to explain everything, whether to allies or enemies. I’ve put a lot of effort into making those explanations clear and effective.”

The upcoming K-drama will be released in two parts on Disney+Hotstar, with the first nine episodes of season one premiering in early 2025. Directed by Park Hyun-suk, it also stars Lee Jung-eun, Jo Woo-jin, Go Gyu-pil, Kwon Nara, Yoo Jae-myung, and Choi Gyu-ri.
Kim Soo-hyun’s last project ‘Queen of Tears‘ was a global success. The story revolves around Hong Hae-in, a third-generation chaebol heiress of the Queens Group, and Baek Hyun-woo, the son of farmers from Yongdu-ri. The couple’s three-year marriage has reached a breaking point, with Hyun-woo on the verge of divorcing Hae-in. Fans loved Soo-hyun and Ji-won’s chemistry.
QUEEN OF TEARS has won 38 awards so far and is the most awarded Korean drama of 2024. Based on my research, it might also be the most awarded Korean drama in the past 10 years. They have even surpassed Kdramas with 3 seasons. That’s how powerful and mega-hit this Kdrama is. 🪻🍀 pic.twitter.com/yOQ0Y6o2Ww
