On the morning of the 3rd, a press conference for Disney+ 'Lightning Shop' was held at the Grand Ballroom of the COEX Convention Center in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Actors Joo Ji-hoon, Park Bo-young, Kim Seol-hyun, Um Tae-gu, Lee Jung-eun, Kim Min-ha, Park Hyuk-kwon, Shin Eun-soo, and Kim Sun-hwa, as well as director Kim Hee-won and author Kang Pul, who wrote the script, were present on the day.
'Light Shop' is a drama about secret customers intertwining in the background of a shop that only lights up at the end of a dark alley. The completeness of the work was enhanced by deeply expanding emotions and relationships that were not contained in the original webtoon.
Author Kang Pul, who was in charge of the play, said, `In the original webtoon, we dealt with emotions and relationships that could not be expressed due to the limitations of deadline and time.' `We are happy to be able to unravel stories that have not been shown through the medium of drama.' He then expressed confidence, saying, `Even the original fans will be satisfied enough.'
He also said he admired the cooperation between actors and staff while preparing 'Light Shop'. Writer Kang said "The actors expressed the limitations of the webtoons well. In particular, director Kim Hee-won's directing skills will be added to help you feel more than the original."
Finally, Kang said "'Light Shop' is an emotional and complex piece of fun" and added "I hope it will give viewers a warm resonance."
A total of eight episodes of 'Light Shop' will be pre-released until the fourth episode on the 4th, and the two episodes will be released for each of the following two weeks.
