The Korean adaptation of “The Miracles of the Namiya General Store”is moving up a gear. Disney+ has officially announced production of the drama, while unveiling a particularly impressive cast.
Adapted from the cult novel by Keigo Higashino, the drama will tell the story of three thieves who take refuge in a mysterious grocery store where past and present meet. Answering letters from people seeking advice, they gradually discover a secret deeply linked to their own lives.
A particularly strong main and supporting cast
At the heart of the story, Ryu Seung-ryong will play the role of Go Min-joong, the grocery store owner, a key character who links the various storylines.
Around him, several actors will enrich the story, including Kim Hye-yoon, Moon Sang-min, Lee Chae-min and Yoon Kyung-ho.
The trio of thieves at the heart of the plot will be played by Kang Yoo-seok, Park Jung-woo and Kim Seong-jeong, promising a dynamic storyline.
The cast expands further with Go Ah-sung, Lee Soo-kyung, Kim Min-ha, Bae In-hyuk, Park Hee-soon, Oh Na-ra, Moon Woo-jin and Park Se-wan, confirming the desire to build a universe rich in characters.
Added to this are a number of high-profile special appearances, with Yum Jung-ah, Yum Hye-ran, Jung Chae-yeon and Jang Dong-yoon, which should add even more depth to the story.
An ambitious project already in the works
With such a large cast and an extremely popular original work (the novel having dominated sales in Japan for many years), this remake stands out as one of the most ambitious projects to come.
Filming is currently underway, with broadcasting scheduled for 2027 for international audiences.
