You have to find your light , No matter what !
Every once in a while you come across a show where you have no idea what is going on but you hang in there curious enough ...and oh man ...a lot of disappointments but once in a while you end up in "absolute awe of what you saw" and that my friends brings us to light shop !!Light shop is not just an everyday drama about what happens in the afterlife ...yeah well no one knows but if a speculation as believable as this is put across I wonder do we actually not know ?
okay so I have no idea how am I to convince you for watching a show without giving away about it (I think that's why all the synopsis about the show are just so fucked up) ...and can't you all take my word for it ...COME ON GO WATCH IT ...PLEASE ...!!!
if that didn't work, then you are just being mean ...but let me try again -
Light shop is a show about the dead but also about the living ...it is a show that promises hope ...a light, in the darkness that surrounds ...it gives you a way to believe that you can make it ..that in fact ,if you " will" ...you will make it ! But it's not your happy go lucky show ...and tragedies aren't just one sided ..they mostly do never have "a happy end" so what do we get then ...
what remains is -- the infinite hope ! Hope of the living ...hope of the dead !
Enough of the poetic expression of my love for the show ....
Light shop is the brightest shop in the dark alleyway that is somehow (ask geometry) situated near everyone's home ...you pass by it a lot of times but only if you "will" you shall find your light here...managed by a suspicious enigmatic man this shop is your one stop solution for lighting ....and oh the aesthetics. While the dead look for their own stuff and the living look for their own this shop is not just lights ...it's stories ....stories that are heart wrenching and stories that promise hope ...stories that are lot more than just stories ....
Here you sign up for a tightly packed mystery driven narrative with a horror backdrop garnished with tragedy and chills, you are in for the emotions it promises.
While initial eps might seem a bit difficult to follow if you let curiosity take the better of you ...be prepared with tissues for the finale !
There are a lot of them that will not seem connected initially and you may not be initially interested in any, but give it time ...as the layers unfold you will reach at a point where even if you were not paying a lot of attention you will be able to connect the dots. It will be easy enough to figure out and while you come up with your own conclusions you will deduce that a lot of them were there served to you right from the beginning.
what made me the most interested was the realization that 72 hours ...the 3 day Korean funeral which I think everyone follows in different forms actually relates to the 72 hours post operative care, 72 hours the golden period of making it through (i hope the lil fact check that I did ...had me with the correct facts) ....This show brings this forth so beautifully.
The depth in the narrative where every detail is paid attention to (another example like ...you have to find your light on your own)...all the answers are handed out by the end very subtly ....you still crave for more ...in a way that you didn't know ....this is a must watch !!
....so when are you visiting the ....the light shop !?

Strange School Tales: Karma - What Goes Around Comes Around
1 people found this review helpful
Each cine-drama in the trio is set in a high school, depicting tales of old spirits and secrets that have been long buried in the scene - until now.
The third in the trio - Karma, what goes around comes around !
This is the last one ...and maybe the one I found a bit uninteresting ...tho that might not be the case for you ...maybe you’ve read about me telling you that I liked 8th anniversary the most ...I guess I know why ….it had this constant spree of ghost’s popping up on my screen ….which I really liked ..this one also has it similar ..but I guess my rational brain ( which should be working at all places except dramas but will do quite the opposite ) felt sad when it realized that things could be logically explained ….ahh I wanted them to have some more ghosts and less logic ….if you are confused about what I am talking ...just ignore me ...cuz if you understand ...you’d also be sad …!!
So in short the ghosts here can be logically explained …(does that even make sense …)
Well this one has this school backdrop but is more like a detective drama throughout ...where teachers instead of teaching do all sorts of nuisance ...but well it’s drama land and who said teachers can’t be part time electricians and detectives ?
It’s a good watch if you don’t think of it as a horror and ghost story ...the acting is decent and re-watch value ...quite less …none really ...
This one got a pinch of bullying again …( it’s like salt in the vegetable called school k-drama according to our writers…. how in the world does it fit you without salt )
What goes around comes around ..karma ..the central message is made impactful ...but I would still say this one was my least fav among the three ….but to each its own ...you’ll never know until you try !!
If you are watching it ...I hope you enjoy …
the other reviews for the series can be found on respective pages ...or maybe I'll drop a link in the comment ....(if you wish to read my opinion on them you can check the comment with spoiler tag)
