A Shop for Killers (Korean킬러들의 쇼핑몰) is a 2024 South Korean action drama television series co-created, co-written and co-directed by Lee Kwon, and starring Lee Dong-wook and Kim Hye-jun. Based on the novel The Murderer's Shopping Mall by Kang Ji-young, the story is about a girl who lost her parents and grew up in the hands of her uncle who runs a suspicious online shop. The first season was released on Disney+ from January 17 to February 7, 2024. It is also available for streaming on Hulu in the United States. The second season is scheduled to be released in late 2026.

The series received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the action sequences and character dynamics, though some noted issues with pacing and narrative logic.

Plot

Jung Ji-an, a college student raised by her mysterious uncle, Jung Jin-man, after the violent deaths of her parents. Jin-man, who operated an online "agricultural equipment" warehouse called Murthehelp, raised Ji-an with unconventional survival training, including combat skills and marksmanship, under the guise of eccentric hobbies.

The story begins in the present when Ji-an receives news of her uncle's apparent suicide. Upon returning home, she is suddenly targeted by highly skilled assassins. She discovers that Murthehelp was actually a sophisticated dark web marketplace for illegal weapons and supplies used by a global criminal community.

The narrative utilizes flashbacks to reveal Jin-man's past as a legendary mercenary for a private military company called Babylon. During his service, Jin-man clashed with the psychopathic Bale, leading to a blood feud that resulted in the massacre of Jin-man's family and forced him into hiding to protect Ji-an.

Back in the present, Ji-an must utilize the codes of the shopping mall and the assistance of Jin-man's former allies, including the Muay Thai master Pasin, the elite assassin So Min-hye, and the mall's hidden underground manager, Brother, to defend the warehouse. Ji-an eventually embraces her role as the new head of Murthehelp, successfully fending off the breach and defeating the primary antagonists.

The series concludes with the revelation that Jin-man faked his death as part of a strategic move to eliminate his enemies and test Ji-an's capabilities. As the conflict ends, a battered Jin-man returns to the warehouse to reunite with Ji-an.

On January 26, 2024, it was announced that music director Primary participated for the scoring of A Shop for Killers. In addition, Primary said that he used instruments that can highlight each character's unique charm in the right place. To express the rough and complete appearance of Jin-man, he used masculine guitar sounds, then for Ji-an, who is not yet fully mature, he used an analog synthesizer to bring out an unrefined feeling, and lastly for Bale, the villain of the series, emphasized the character's extremely evil appearance with the dull tone of the cello.[21]

The soundtrack album of A Shop for Killers was released on February 16, 2024; it contains all of the singles and background tracks from the series.[22]

Release

The first season of A Shop for Killers was released worldwide on Disney+ on January 17, 2024.[1][23] It was also released on Hulu in the United States.[24]

In January 2026, Disney+ confirmed the release window of the series to be in late 2026.[25]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 6 critics' reviews are positive.[26] Joel Keller of Decider found the series' early narrative "straightforward", noting that the simplicity allowed for well-executed action and meaningful character exploration.[27] Sarah Musnicky of But Why Tho? awarded the series a 7.5 out of 10, characterizing it as an "action-packed" experience featuring compelling characters that "lure [the viewer] in".[28] Sayantan Gayen of Comic Book Resources observed that while the plot still had much to uncover, the initial episodes were successful in making viewers "anxious to get their hands on the next installment".[29]

However, critical reception of the overall narrative was more varied. Puah Ziwei of NME called it a "thrilling K-drama", but pointed out "logical inconsistencies and plot holes", specifically citing the protagonist's name change and Jin-man's "peculiar" behaviors as points of confusion.[30] Similarly, Pierce Conran of the South China Morning Post gave the series a 3 out of 5 rating; while he praised the "stylish opening", he suggested the conclusion might leave some viewers with "buyer's remorse".[31]

Viewership

Disney+ announced that the series was the most viewed local original on the platform in the Asia Pacific region[note 1] in 2024,[32] until it was surpassed by Light Shop in December.[33]
