Review of the korean series " Lightshop"
I haven't had the opportunity to watch any web series for a long time and I rarely watch movies like before because of work commitments, lack of good series and lack of time. However, a few days ago, I came across a promotional video of a series while browsing Facebook and then I found out that it was called Light Shop. Out of curiosity, I decided to watch this series. I finished watching 8 episodes in a few days and I have to say, after a long time, I really saw a web series that not only touches the mind but also makes you think deeply.
When I first watched the first episode of the series, I thought it was a horror story with a touch of the unknown, darkness and fear. But as the episode progressed, I gradually understood that "Light Shop" is not just a horror story. Every scene, every play of light and shadow seems to express the deep truth of life, the conflict between light and darkness, the struggle of the human soul and the message of hope for liberation. At an unknown point in the story, it becomes clear that each person shown here is connected to a special event that keeps them coming back to the Light Shop again and again. The surprising thing is that no one knows why they are stuck in that experience.
This mystery and attraction actually gives more depth to the essence of the series. The story is centered around a small, seemingly ordinary shop, which has a special power hidden inside. The light of the shop is not just an external brightness, but a reflection of the secret pain, scars from the past and hopes of each symbolic character. . At a point in the episodes, it becomes clear that the strange character of the shop owner and other supporting characters also have a secret, tragic event in their lives that keeps them coming back to the Light Shop again and again.
I especially liked that there is a part of the love story of a boy and a girl. Where the girl is always working to maintain her love even after death. Each character subconsciously moves towards that shop, and their every step is guided by a strange attraction that hides the memory of a silent tragedy. It seems that there will be nothing wrong with saying a little spoiler, when it is revealed that the real reason for that incident was an old undisclosed sad incident that has left a deep mark on the lives of each character, but they may feel the impact of this mystery. This unknown mystery is what gives the series a twist that gradually captivates the audience.
The performances of everyone were also extraordinary. The performances of the shop owner and other supporting characters were equally impressive and everyone was able to express their personal pain, hope and shadow of the past, which adds new dimensions to each turn of the story.
Finally, I would like to say that Light Shop is not just a web series, it is a living journey that gradually reveals the depth of the story and the mystery of unknown events and understands that there is an unseen, but powerful hope in every life. If you are looking for a series that not only entertains, but also takes you deep into your own life and introduces you to those unknown mysteries, then Light Shop is the perfect choice for you.
I've loved this show so much also if in some part scared me a bit.
