An adaptation of Kang Full's popular webtoon, Light Shop, has revealed its confirmed cast, featuring Park Bo Young, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Jung Eun, Bae Seong Woo, and more. Kang Full, known for his storytelling prowess, had previously enchanted audiences with his fantasy superhero drama, Moving, which gained global acclaim and garnered high demand for a second season.

Light Shop’s confirmed cast

Light Shop will feature Ju Ji Hoon (known for Kingdom and The Spy Gone North) as Jung Won Young, the proprietor of the light shop; Park Bo Young (from Strong Girl Do Bong Soon and Oh My Ghost) as Kwon Youngji, a nurse with an unusual connection to her patients; Bae Seong Woo (seen in Veteran and The King) as police officer Yang Sung Sik; and Lee Jung Eun (renowned for her role in Parasite) as Jung Yuhee, a distressed mother. The series, adapted for the screen by Kang Full, the creator of Moving, is directed by Kim Hiewon.

Light Shop, an adaptation of Kang Full's popular webtoon, unfolds the stories of a diverse group of strangers, each grappling with traumatic events from their past. As they navigate their daily lives, an enigmatic pull leads each individual to a peculiar light shop situated at the end of a shadowy alley. Watched over by a vigilant shopkeeper, this mysterious place holds the potential to unlock the secrets of the strangers' pasts, presents, and futures. Within its confines, the dead might find a path back to the world of the living, while the living may not come out unscathed.
