This series is an emotional ride. It is dark, creepy, melancholic but also very beautiful. It is basically a love story told in a very unique way. It is a great blend of genres. When finishing the first four episodes, I was counting down days until the next two were released. Despite being a slow-burn at times, it is still very gripping. The acting from the entire cast is top notch, as well as direction, writing and overall visuals. It is one of those series that lingers on and is a food for thought. All of you who like to watch someething a bit more dark and emotional with supernatural elements will be definitely pleased with this one. Sometimes various series can drag a bit towards the end but I wish this one would have been even longer.

It's remarkable to see a concept so unique yet relating being presented in such a flawless and captivating way. The tone shift after the first two episodes is the testimony of how good this series is and how creatively it takes the journey and motivation of the characters for the rest of the episodes. There is no issue ot pacing at all and I think 8 episodes are just perfect to tell the story. No doubt that this is from the same creator/producer who made Moving. The depth in each and every characters emotions and back stories are so well interconnected that it satisfies you by the end. Highly recommended.

It is Dark, Suspensful and Well-crafted drama. This drama oozes quality. From its storyline, acting, cinematography ,you name it ,it delivers perfectly. The show is slow burning, not relying heavily on jump scares but instead building tension through atmosphere, sound, and visuals. It's clever, thrilling, and packed with moments that leave you on the edge of your seat. Every episode keep u asking questions until the very end where everything come together and make sense.

If you have a mind for mystery with a penchant for suspense and horror, Light Shop is a great watch for you. For the next four episodes, we're counting on the complex mind of Kang Full to follow through on needed answers that will give the mystery a perfect ending.

A Very very well-done drama. 10/10.

I went in watching this not knowing anything and almost stopped within the first few episodes because they were creeping me out and I'm not a fan of horror. However, I'm so glad I didn't let my fear get the best of me because this ended up being so good, and I can't remember the last time I cried this much watching a tv show. The mother-daughter duo, lesbian couple and father-daughter pair's stories and endings had me in tears. Excellent storytelling supported by amazing actors. The heterosexual couple's story left a deep impression on me as well because it's so tragic and unfair, and their ending was kind of shocking to me.

Apart from that, it was clear that the writers were hinting at a 2nd season because there were still a few loose ends and unanswered questions, mostly to do with the detective. Or I might be wrong, who knows.

Edit to add: okay so apparently Timing and Moving are connected to Light Shop? I don't know what Timing is but I've watched Moving and enjoyed it a lot.

The story based on a Manga begins by showing various characters in a strange neighbourhood with no knowledge of who or why they are there. In this mysterious drama we are nearly half way through the eight episodes before we become privy to their predicament and why they are this situation. In the back streets of this place there is a strange light shop which has all the answers but they have to request them. A very clever plot with great acting that draws you in as you try to figure out just where they are and although it does move a little slow in the second half it has many poignant moments which hopefully make you grasp the fragility of your life.
