Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media Apr 21
4/5
The first few episodes of this K-drama will either hook or repel viewers—they focus more on vibes rather than linear storytelling. Hang with Light Shop, though, and the show becomes rewarding, with a dark but emotionally layered tale. Go to Full Review Pierce Conran South China Morning Post 04/11/2025
3/5
Stuffed to bursting with ideas and emotions, Light Shop features a number of strong moments. However, stories need a beginning, a middle and an ending for a reason, and one of those – the midseason build-up – is crucially missing here. Go to Full Review S. Poorvaja The Hindu 01/17/2025
...Light Shop holds potential and promise... Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/06/2024
As atmospheric and plot-free the first episode is, Light Shop is interesting enough to keep watching, mainly because the shop itself is such a unique setting for this kind of story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron L @Aaron007 Jun 29 This is one of those shows that you think you know what’s going on but you couldn’t even begin to understand. This is one of the best dark horrors shows I have seen in a very long time, the characterization from beginning to end was one of the best. You truly get to know each character. Not one detail is overlooked, truly a masterpiece in storytelling, grief sadness, horror within the mondain of everyday. I didn’t give this show I royal flush only because I felt even with the phenomenal storytelling, some of the story lines were pulled out bit to long for me, which may have been the point, but overall didn’t affect the impact of plot very much other than to eat up time.

See more Some Guy F @RT75171520 Nov 18 Starts interesting, overstays it's welcome. See more Duzell T @RT55591356 04/18/2025 I personally did find the first episode a bit long and not that interesting, but I’m the kind of person who generally gives it 2-3 episodes, and I’m glad I did! At times I did find it a bit hard to figure out what the story with every character was since not much is explained. It came beautifully together at around episode 6 and 7. Absolutely love the idea of the series. See more nina n @RT78311591 04/08/2025 A sympathetic and original approach to the subject, with nothing to say about the actors' performances. However, a number of scenes drag on without adding anything to the plot or the feeling. Very nice overall atmosphere, sound and light effects: for all these reasons, I watched it to the end, but no season 2 for me. See more Read all reviews
