Disney+‘s original series ‘The Light Shop’ has caught attention by releasing a main trailer that raises expectations for the ‘The Light Shop’, a key space in the world, and the stories of the customers surrounding it.

The released main trailer begins with the appearance of various characters who experience strange things somewhere in their daily lives, drawing attention. The expressions of these people encountering strange things, such as ‘Hyeon-min’ (Eom Tae-goo) who sees a woman sitting at the same bus stop every night, ‘Seon-hae’ (Kim Min-ha) who stares at the lights that keep going out in their new house, ‘Hyeon-ju’ (Shin Eun-soo) and ‘Ji-woong’ (Kim Ki-hae) who seem to have seen something in a dark alley, give off a cool tension, making us look forward to the fun of the mysterious genre.



Meanwhile, ‘Won-young’ (Ju Ji-hoon), the owner of the ‘Lighting Store’, the only brightly lit store at the end of a dark alley, welcomes a series of unfamiliar customers. ‘Won-young’’s words to them, “How did you end up here? Not here, but here””, imply that the ‘Lighting Store’ is no ordinary store. Also, the mysterious behavior of the people visiting or wandering around the ‘Lighting Store’ makes us curious about their stories and purposes, and how they came to be there. Here, ‘Young-ji’ (Park Bo-young), a nurse in the intensive care unit who sees people on the border between life and death, says, “They say they saw a bright light, a dark tunnel, and that they met their loved ones again,“ raising expectations by foreshadowing that the stories of those surrounding the ‘Lighting Store’ will be conveyed to all of our hearts as warm waves of emotion.

The Disney+ original series ‘Lighting Store’ is a story that unfolds when customers with suspicious secrets visit the ‘Lighting Store’, the only place that lights up a dark alley. This is the fifth work in writer Kang Full‘s ‘Mystery Psychological Slurp’ series, and is based on the webtoon of the same name ‘The Lighting Store’, which has surpassed 150 million cumulative views and has been loved and praised by many readers to this day. Actor Kim Hee-won, who has shown high-density acting and amazing expressiveness in numerous films and dramas, including the role of Jeongwon High School’s homeroom teacher ‘Choi Il-hwan’ in ‘Moving’, will challenge his first series directing. Joo Ji-hoon, Park Bo-young, Kim Seol-hyun, Bae Sung-woo, Um Tae-goo, Lee Jung-eun, Kim Min-ha, Park Hyuk-kwon, Kim Dae-myung, Shin Eun-soo, Kim Sun-hwa, and Kim Ki-hae will join the cast as suspicious characters surrounding ‘The Lighting Store’.
