Screenshot from video on Disney+ Philippines' YouTube channelSouth Korean actor Ju Ji-hoon piques viewers' curiosity in the new teaser for the upcoming mystery series "Light Shop Keeper," where he plays the enigmatic owner of a mysterious lamp store.

The series, scheduled to drop on Dec. 4, follows a group of strangers who find themselves in a mysterious neighborhood with no memory of how they arrived, all drawn to the titular shop as they search for answers to return to their normal lives.

The teaser, released Monday by Disney+ Philippines, opens with Ji-hoon's character, Jung Won-young, inside the store—the sole bright spot in the otherwise dim neighborhood.

As the teaser unfolds, various individuals enter the establishment, seemingly engaging in conversations with Won-young. Ultimately, a male voice asks, "So where are we?" to which Won-young replies, "The question isn't where we are, but what we are," heightening the intrigue.

Apart from Ji-hoon ("Princess Hours" and "Kingdom"), the cast also includes Park Bo-young ("Strong Woman Do Bong-soon"), Lee Jung-eun ("Parasite" and "Miss Night and Day"), Kim Min-ha ("Pachinko") and Bae Seong-woo ("The 8 Show").

"Light Shop Keeper" is based on a popular webtoon by Kangfull, the same creator behind the webtoon that inspired Disney's hit superhero series "Moving."
