Summary

“Light Shop” is an adaptation of the popular webtoon by Kang Full, who also penned the drama’s script. The story revolves around a mysterious lighting shop that connects the living and the dead. Its enigmatic owner, played by Ju Ji-hoon, is a central figure as various characters from different walks of life visit the shop, seeking solace, answers, or closure. The series delves into profound themes of human nature, grief, and the afterlife, blending supernatural elements with emotional storytelling.

The narrative contrasts the activities at the lighting shop with events in a nearby hospital, where a nurse (portrayed by Park Bo-young) begins to notice uncanny connections between the shop and the visitors she encounters at her workplace
