Is it worth it
Eight episodes that pretend to be horror for four and then hand you a grief drama. Kang Full wrote it, Kim Hee Won directed it, and it is the best built eight hours Disney+ has aired in years. The scares before it are thin and the ensemble is too big for the runtime, so the first half feels like homework. The fifth hour makes the other seven worth it. Read nothing about it before you start.
In a mysterious shop that sells lamps, the dead may return to the world of the living, while the living may not walk out alive.

Slow start Episode 5, where the strangers turn out to be one story and the horror framing shows what it has actually been doing.
