According to the film's developments, Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok) is searching for evidence related to the case of Jeon Sang Ho - a genius scientist who was murdered and whose body has not been found. From here, many mysteries about the case and the real perpetrator are gradually revealed.
Suspecting that his father-in-law was the one who killed him, Sang Ho "incarnated" into I Rang and gradually lost control. The climax occurs when unfavorable evidence appears, causing I Rang to be arrested as a suspect.
After being exonerated, I Rang and lawyer Han Na Hyun (Esom) followed the clues and identified the real culprit as Go Hyo Jung - Sang Ho's colleague, who also had feelings for Sang Ho's wife.
To make the perpetrator confess, I Rang planned and disguised himself as a shaman. As a result, the case closed with a touching ending when the victim fulfilled his wish before leaving - to make a medicine to treat his mother-in-law's illness. After that, the film opens a new case with the appearance of the next soul.
After 6 episodes of screening, "The Ghost Lawyer" shows the attraction of the plot and acting. In addition to the legal element, the work cleverly incorporates humorous details to increase entertainment as well as build warm stories of souls.
Thanks to the impressive acting of the cast, the discussion about "The Ghost Lawyer" is increasingly high on platforms, not only in Korea but also in some Asian countries, including Vietnam.
