Disney+ has made the first three episodes of the action K-drama “A Shop for Killers” available for free on YouTube. Viewers can stream the opening episodes through the platform’s official YouTube playlist, offering a chance to revisit the start of the series before season 2 arrives on July 22.
The remaining episodes of the first season are available to stream on Disney+.
Based on the novel by Kang Ji-young, “A Shop for Killers” follows Jeong Ji-an, played by Kim Hye-jun, after she inherits a suspicious shopping mall from her uncle, Jeong Jin-man, played by Lee Dong-wook. What initially appears to be an ordinary inheritance soon pulls her into a hidden world of assassins, weapons, and unfinished business connected to her uncle’s past.
The free release serves as a timely refresher for viewers ahead of the show’s return. The first season ended with major revelations surrounding Jin-man, Murthehelp, and the larger network of killers tied to the story. It also set up Ji-an’s next chapter as she faces the consequences of inheriting her uncle’s dangerous legacy.
Season 2 is expected to expand the conflict beyond Murthehelp, with Babylon playing a larger role in the story. Lee Dong-wook and Kim Hye-jun return for the new season, alongside returning cast members Jo Han-sun, Geum Hae-na, Lee Tae-young, and Kim Min. New cast members include Hyunri, Okada Masaki, and Jung Yun-ha.
With the July 22 premiere approaching, the free YouTube drop gives both new viewers and returning fans a chance to revisit the beginning of “A Shop for Killers” before the shop reopens for another deadly round.
