Disney+ added another buzzy K-drama title on Thursday to its steadily expanding slate of originals from East Asia.
The streamer announced the launch of principal photography on The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, a Korean-language series adaptation of Japanese author Keigo Higashino’s 2012 bestseller, which has sold more than 13 million copies worldwide.
