Higashino Keigo's best-selling novel 'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store,' which has sold over 13 million copies worldwide and resonated deeply across generations and genres, is being reborn as a K-series for Disney+.

'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store' is a fantasy drama that transcends time and space, following three petty thieves who hide in the 'Namiya General Store' that closed 40 years ago and begin writing replies to letters from the past. The production officially began filming on the 14th.

With keen attention focused on what kind of synergy the novel's compelling narrative and awe-inspiring world will create when combined with uniquely Korean sensibilities, director Park Young-ju, who received acclaim for his delicate direction in the film 'Citizen Deok-hee,' will handle both the screenplay and direction. Additionally, The Lamp, which has consistently delivered acclaimed and commercially successful works such as 'Salmagi,' 'A Taxi Driver,' 'The Last Ride,' 'Strikeout Group's TOEIC Class,' and 'Escape,' will produce the series, adding to its credibility.

Notably, this production features a large cast of actors with distinct personalities and charms, promising a narrative that captures the original work in greater depth. First, Ryu Seung-ryong, who led global box office successes with the ten-million-viewer films 'Extreme Job,' 'The Admiral: Roaring Currents,' 'Miracle in Cell No. 7,' and 'Chunhyang: The Man Who Became King,' as well as Disney+ original series 'Moving' and 'Fine: The Village Kids,' will take on the role of 'Ko Min-jung,' the owner of the 'Namiya General Store,' anchoring the story and expected to deliver another powerful synergy with Disney+.

The three petty thieves hiding in the 'Namiya General Store' will be played by promising new actors: Kang Yu-seok from 'Resident Doctor' and 'I Was Caught in a Lie,' Park Jeong-woo from 'Brave Citizen' and '20th Century Girl,' and Kim Sung-jeong from 'The Cowardly Hero' and 'Weak Hero Class 2,' injecting fresh energy into the project.

Furthermore, the cast members who will enrich each episode stand out. Kim Hye-yoon, who demonstrated exceptional character versatility in 'Salmagi' and 'Jump to the Sky,' Moon Sang-min, who has emerged as a next-generation lead through 'Pavane' and 'Dear My Robber,' Lee Chae-min, who sparked a global phenomenon with 'The Tyrant's Chef,' and Yoon Kyung-ho, who continues his active work in 'Severe Trauma Center' and 'Zombie Daughter,' have joined, drawing high expectations.

Additionally, Go Ah-sung, who has established herself as a reliable actor through various works including 'Pavane' and 'Strikeout Group's TOEIC Class'; Lee Su-kyung, who delivered vibrant performances in 'I Was Caught in a Lie' and 'Miracle'; Kim Min-ha, who left a strong impression worldwide with 'Typhoon Company' and 'Pachinko'; and Bae In-hyeok, who has solidified her status as a top actress through 'I'll Give You the Universe' and 'The Marriage Contract of Lady Park'; alongside Park Hee-soon, known for her substantial presence in every role from 'Judge Lee Han-young' to 'There's No Way Out'; Oh Na-ra, who built unique characters in 'Tale of the Nine Tailed' and 'SKY Castle'; Moon Woo-jin, who made her mark through 'Black Nuns' and 'I Was Caught in a Lie'; and Park Se-wan, who boasts outstanding acting skills in 'Forced Sale' and 'Six Five,' will join to further elevate the drama's intensity.

The special appearances lineup is also glamorous. Veteran actress Yum Jung-ah, known for her wide-ranging acting spectrum in 'Cross' and 'Smugglers'; Yum Hye-ran, who captivated audiences with her deep performances in 'There's No Way Out' and 'I Was Caught in a Lie'; Jung Chae-yeon, who revealed diverse charms in 'Esquire: Lawyers Who Dream of Being Lawyers' and 'Golden Spoon'; and Jang Dong-yoon, who showed sincere acting in 'The Praying Mantis: The Killer's Outing' and 'Morning Comes Even in the Psych Ward,' will join to further enrich the drama.

'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store' is currently in the midst of intense filming and will be released worldwide exclusively on Disney+ in 2027.
