The drama, starring Kim Soo-hyun and Jo Bo-ah, is expected to become a new hit on the streaming platform. As planned, the first part of Knock Off is scheduled to have a press conference in April 2025. Meanwhile, the second part of the drama is still being filmed as planned, showing that the producers still have faith in the project. However, according to Kyunghyang Shinmun, if public opinion continues to have negative reactions to Kim Soo-hyun, the drama may face a wave of boycotts or adjustments in its release strategy to avoid unnecessary risks.

Besides Kim Soo-hyun, another name that is also receiving attention is Jo Bo-ah, who plays the female lead in Knock Off. Although not directly involved in the scandal, Jo Bo-ah can still be indirectly affected when the project she is participating in encounters difficulties.

Jo Bo-ah was born on August 22, 1991 in Daejeon, South Korea, and began her acting career in 2011. She graduated from Sungkyunkwan University with a degree in Performing Arts, and quickly proved her ability through a variety of roles. Notable films in her career include Shut Up Flower Boy Band (2012), The Idle Mermaid (2014), Tale of the Nine Tailed (2020), and Military Prosecutor Doberman (2022). This film is expected to help her affirm her name in the international market as Disney is the main distributor. However, with the troubles surrounding her co-star, it is unclear whether the work can be released as planned.

About Jo Bo-ah, after graduating from high school, Jo Bo Ah entered the Department of Aviation Tourism at Hanseo University to fulfill her dream of becoming a flight attendant. But just 1 year later, she realized that she had a strong passion for the job of an actress, so she decided to enter the Department of Performing Arts at Sungkyunkwan University, despite her parents' objections.

Especially in the movie My Boyfriend is a Gumiho, she also received more attention from the audience when she acted with the handsome "uncle" Lee Dong Wook. The actress not only played the role of Ji Ah well, but also had great chemistry with the actor who everyone loves, Lee Dong Wook.

Around 2011, while studying at the Faculty of Aviation Tourism, Jo Bo Ah had the opportunity to appear as an extra in the Korean-Japanese drama Love Maison and the sitcom I Live in Cheongdam-dong of JTBC. Although they were only brief appearances, the process of working with the crew gave Jo Bo Ah inspiration and love for acting.

In 2012, Jo Bo Ah decided to quit her job as a flight attendant and embark on a professional acting career. In the same year, she landed her first starring role in the TV series The Flower Boys, which aired on tvN.

Although Jo Bo Ah has not received much praise for her acting in the role of Im Soo Ah, it was thanks to this role that SidusHQ offered her an official contract. From here, her acting career also had more opportunities and gradually improved.

In addition, in 2012, Jo Bo Ah also participated in the Korean historical drama The Emperor's Physician. However, Jo Bo Ah's acting in the film caused quite a lot of controversy due to her boring expressions and awkward pronunciation.

In April 2014, Jo Bo Ah officially debuted on the big screen in her first movie called Innocence. Although the movie was not a box office success, it helped quell controversies about Jo Bo Ah's acting ability, helping her receive more attention from the audience.

It can be said that 2014 was the year that marked a major turning point in Jo Bo Ah's acting career. Not only did she attract attention with her first movie, she also officially had her first female lead role in the TV series Mermaid.

It was thought that with the favorable momentum from the two previous films, Jo Bo Ah would shine more and more in her career. However, in the following films, despite having the opportunity to pair up with male gods like Lee Soo Hyuk, Kim Jae Wook, Jo Bo Ah still only took on obscure supporting female roles, with a monotonous personality that made viewers feel bored.

In their personal lives, Jo Bo Ah and Oh Jung Hwan were officially dating. Accordingly, the two met after working together in the movie Mermaid (2014), after a period of contact, they gradually became close and decided to date. However, only 2 years after publicly dating, the two decided to go their separate ways due to busy schedules, leaving many fans with regrets.
