After his hit super-powered series “Moving,” screenwriter Kangfull will return later this year with “Light Shop,” a mysterious drama that explores life, death that will stream exclusively on Disney+.
An adaptation of Kangfull’s hit webtoon of the same name, “Light Shop” is about a group of strangers, each struggling to come to terms with a traumatic event in their past.

Going about their daily lives, each individual is mysteriously drawn to a light shop that sits at the end of a seedy alleyway. Guarded by a vigilant shopkeeper, the light shop could hold the key to the strangers’ pasts, presents and futures.
“Light Shop” will star actor Ju Ji-hoon (“Kingdom,” “The Spy Gone North”) as Jung Wonyoung, the owner of the light shop; Park Bo-young, (“Strong Girl Bong-soon,” “Oh My Ghost”) as Kwon Youngji, a nurse with an unusual connection to her patients; Bae Seong-woo (“Veteran,” “The King”) as police officer Yang Sungsik; and Lee Jung-eun (“Parasite”) as Jung Yuhee, a distraught mother.
The series is adapted for the screen by Kangfull and is directed by Kim Hiewon.
“Light Shop” will join an ever-growing array of award-winning Korean entertainment now available on Disney+ including “Moving,” about a group of South Korean special agents working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation at the hands of malicious government agencies, and “Big Bet,” about the rise and fall of a serial entrepreneur who will do anything to get ahead; and “The Worst of Evil” and “Vigilante”
“Light Shop” will stream exclusively in the second half of 2024 on Disney+.
