Actor Kim HeeWon embarks on a new challenge as a director with the drama ‘Lighting Store’. This work, presented by Disney Plus, is one of the most anticipated releases of the second half of the year, with many people focusing on what abilities Kim HeeWon will showcase as a director, rather than as an actor.
Set to be released on December 4th KST, ‘Lighting Store’ is based on a webtoon of the same name serialized in 2011, featuring a unique story centered around a lighting store that connects the living world and the afterlife. Written by Kang Full, the script has generated great expectations and is drawing attention as Kim HeeWon’s directorial debut.
Kim HeeWon has taken on the challenge of directing an 8-part drama that requires a different pacing from films. At the production presentation held at Seoul COEX, he stated, “Directing a drama was burdensome, but I focused on creating a happy and fun work.” He also added, “I worked hard to make a drama that moves the hearts of the audience.”
Regarding the competition with works like Netflix’s ‘Squid Game 2’, Kim HeeWon expressed confidence. He revealed his strong ambitions by stating, “I hope ‘Lighting Store’ captivates the hearts of many people worldwide.”
Lead actor Ju JiHoon expressed his trust in director Kim HeeWon, praising him as “the textbook of directing” for executing the promises made during the pre-production stage without any errors.
As anticipation builds for the outcome of Kim HeeWon’s new challenge, attention is on what kind of impact ‘Lighting Store’ will deliver to viewers. Stay tuned for future updates.
