Park Bo Young, the beloved star of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and Kingdom fame Joo Ji Hoon, are gearing up for their next project: a brand new webtoon adaptation penned by the mind behind the hit series ‘Moving’.

His next drama promises an enthralling fusion of intrigue, romance, and a hint of the paranormal by fusing the charismatic storytelling of renowned author Kang Full with the charm of Park Bo Young.

Joo Ji Hoon, who is well-known for his roles in Hospital Playlist and Kingdom, is starring alongside Park Bo Young in this mystery thriller. A stellar cast will be joining the two. The working title of the K-drama is Light Shop.

On January 19, the streaming service and the production house jointly confirmed the upcoming show while unveiling a star-studded cast including Joo Ji Hoon, Park Bo Young, Bae Sung Woo, Uhm Tae Goo, Seolhyun, Lee Jung Eun, Kim Min Ha, Park Hyuk Kwon, Kim Dae Myung, Shin Eun Soo, Kim Sun Hwa, and Kim Ki Hae.

Light Shop will officially mark its entry as the fifth installment in Kang Full’s flat psychological mystery. The story revolves around the entwined lives of the living and the deceased in a mysterious store specializing in lamp sales. The actors will portray suspicious and dubious characters closely linked to the fascinating world of the light shop.

Do Bong Soon, the star of Strong Girl, was most recently seen on Netflix’s Daily Dose of Sunshine. The program presents a distinct and sincere viewpoint on mental health issues. “Determined to provide a ray of light for those under her care, a young nurse navigates the world of mental health and the diverse stories surrounding it,” said the official show synopsis.
