On Christmas Eve, Kang Full, the writer of Disney+’s “Light Shop,” discussed his latest series in an interview held in Seoul. As a symbolic gesture, he gifted light bulbs, showcasing his deep attachment to the project. Kang described the series as “a genre challenge” with a unique storytelling approach. “The real story begins in episode five, and I was worried viewers might not stick around until then,” he admitted. “But it was a story I truly wanted to tell, and I’m relieved by the positive response.”
The series stands out with its combination of horror and romance, differentiating it from Kang Full’s previous work, “Moving.” He acknowledged the challenges of adapting horror for TV but expressed gratitude to Disney for supporting the project. “Horror is naturally better suited for films, but their trust made this possible,” he said.
He also praised director Kim Hee Won, who he personally approached for the role. “This is a story about people, and I needed someone who could guide the actors effectively,” Kang Full shared. “His dedication was incredible, and the praise for his direction is well-deserved.”
Kang Full expressed high regard for the cast, especially Seol Hyun, whose performance exceeded his expectations. “She was recommended by the director, and though I initially had doubts, her acting amazed me. She’s truly remarkable.” He also highlighted the contributions of Park Jung Min and Go Yoon Jung, who made special appearances, “They brought so much value to the story.”
Looking to the future, Kang Full hinted at his plans for Moving 2, “While nothing is concrete yet, I’m already envisioning the story. I hope to create something entirely unexpected for viewers.”
