Disney Plus’s original series Light Shop has taken viewers on an emotional rollercoaster with the release of episodes 5 and 6 on Wednesday. The latest episodes shed light on the secrets and relationships of the show’s enigmatic characters, satisfying viewers’ burning curiosity that had been building since the series debut.
Following the explosive response to episodes 1-4 last week, Light Shop revealed the bus accident that set all the events in motion in episodes 5 and 6.
The episodes reveal the mysterious characters—Hyun Min (Um Tae Goo), Sun Hae (Kim Min Ha), Hye Won (Kim Sun Hwa), Yu Hee (Lee Jung Eun), Hyun Joo (Shin Eun Soo), and Ji Woong (Kim Ki Hae)—all boarding the same bus late at night. The bus driver, Seung Won (Park Hyuk Kwon), realizes there’s a defect in the vehicle but is forced to continue the route with passengers onboard. Tragedy strikes when a wheel comes loose as the bus crosses a bridge. The identities of these seemingly suspicious individuals are finally unveiled, transforming the eerie atmosphere into one of profound sorrow.
One particularly poignant revelation is the story of Hyun Min and the enigmatic Ji Young (Seolhyun), whose nightly encounters at the bus stop concealed a deeper connection. The episodes unveil that the two were once devoted lovers, their romance cut short by tragic circumstances, adding a layer of emotional depth.

Ji Young’s tireless attempts to save her beloved Hyun Min, Sun Hae’s journey to piece together the subconscious fragments of her memories and uncover the true identity of the terrifying presence in her new home, and the real reason behind Yu Hee’s daily errands for her daughter Hyun Joo all come to light, moving viewers to tears.
With its seamless genre switch complete by episodes 5-6, Light Shop concludes with a conversation between the Detective (Bae Sung Woo), who senses the strangeness of the light shop and its world, and the shop’s owner Won Young (Ju Ji Hoon), piquing curiosity once more. The Detective asks, “The night never ends here. Where is this place?” to which Won Young replies, “I asked the same question myself,” hinting at the untold stories yet to unfold.
