Disney+’s new original Korean drama series Light Shop might initially appear as a horror mystery. However, beneath the chilling suspense of its ghostly storyline lies a deeper message about the various relationships of loved ones standing at death’s door.
“I don’t think this series is a type of work that is driven by the actors’ emotions. The message comes first and then the actors,” the drama’s protagonist, Ju Ji-hoon, says.
The eight-part series, based on the webtoon of the same name by Moving creator Kang Full, follows a group of strangers on the brink of the afterlife, who are mysteriously drawn to a light shop situated in an alley.
