The legal fantasy TV series "Phantom Lawyer" (Vietnamese title: Ghost Lawyer) tells the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok) - a lawyer who can see ghosts, and excellent female lawyer Han Na Hyun (Esom) when they resolve the persistent cases of their very unusual clients - ghosts - through law.
The film aired the first 2 episodes on the evenings of March 13 and March 14 with impressive viewership ratings. According to Nielsen Korea, the first episode of "The Ghost Lawyer" topped the broadcast time slot on all channels with a rate of 6.3%. This achievement is almost double compared to the previous work "From Today I Am Human" - ending with a rate of 3.7%. In episode 2, the film's rating reached 8.7% - the highest in the broadcast slot.
In the first 2 episodes, Shin I Rang - who has the ability to see ghosts, begins the first trial to exonerate the soul of Lee Kang Poong (Heo Sung Tae) - a man who died due to medical errors, but because the truth was hidden, his wife almost accepted a meager compensation from the doctor who made the mistake.
During this process, I Rang encountered a series of "cry-laughing" situations mixed with dangers, every time he was possessed by a customer. As a result, after taking the hard drive to record the scene on the day of the surgery, lawyer Shin succeeded in claiming justice for Lee Kang Poong and helping him to be liberated.
However, when I Rang thought that the end of the case would end his seeing ghosts, the next customer appeared - with the background of the soul of an idol intern, promising to increase viewers' expectations about the second case.
Although the film motif is not new to Korean "movie buffs", because works like "The Ghost Shop" or "My Ghost Host"... have exploited similar topics, the movie "The Ghost Lawyer" still scores points thanks to the realistic and charming acting of Yoo Yeon Seok and the story with a legal and humanistic color.
Talking about his first time playing a humorous role, the actor tried to act naturally and comfortably. In addition to observing the unique character traits of the characters appearing in each episode, he also practiced a separate dance when his character was possessed by an idol trainee.
