I know that this show is based on a very popular webtoon and the show creator is the same person who wrote and produced the show "Moving." There is no need to compare the show to the webtoon or another show (Moving). So, judging the show on its own merits, I have some mixed feelings.

To be honest, I had a real difficult time finishing the first three episodes. While the basic premise was quite interesting, the show left the audience in the dark (pun intended) for much of the time, just dropping few hints here and there. It was somewhat frustrating at time, but then, I watched Ep. 4. The reveal in Ep. 4 hit me like a ton of bricks and shed a light on what was happening in Ep 1-3. The show still has much more to explain and carry the main story forward. However, Ep. 4 pretty much changed my mind from giving this show a 3-star rating to an 8-star rating. At the end of the season, perhaps my score will increase or decrease.

For anyone who is not sure about giving this show a chance, watch at least up to Ep. 4. If you decide that it's not your cup of tea at that point, then I doubt you will enjoy the rest of the show.

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.

I just finished watching "Light Shop" and I'm still reeling from the experience! The beginning was super scary - I was literally on the edge of my seat. But as the story went on, I realized it was so much more than just a horror series.

The characters were amazing - so real and relatable. I found myself rooting for them and feeling all the emotions they were going through. The way the show balanced horror, drama, and emotional moments was seriously impressive.

The last episode had me crying like a baby! The ending was perfect - it wrapped everything up nicely and gave me closure. I'm still thinking about the story and the characters, and I know this is a series that'll stay with me for a long time.

If you haven't watched "Light Shop" yet, you need to get on that! It's a wild ride, but it's so worth it.

This genre bending show is surely gonna blow your wig away!

The starting can be a little misleading, mysterious and confusing but it all makes sense as you continue watching. And the patience is absolutely worth it! Never once did I zone of the show or felt bored. It's the kind that captives you so well and that's what I love the most about any show! It's got a little bit of everything- horror, drama, mystery, suspense, melo. And everything blends in just perfectly. Also the performances by all actors and the cinematography is truly remarkable.

Very unique, very well written. Surely needs a sequel. Looking forward to it!

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.
