Yoo Yeon Seok, Esom, And More Kick Off Script Reading For New Fantasy Legal Drama “Phantom Lawyer”
SBS’s upcoming Friday–Saturday drama “Phantom Lawyer” has shared a glimpse of its first script reading session! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows Shin Yi Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law. The script reading brought together director Shin Joong Hoon, writers Kim Ga Young and Kang Chul Gyu, and the main cast including Yoo Yeon Seok, Esom, Kim Kyung Nam, Jeon Seok Ho, Kim Mi Kyung, Son Yeo Eun, Lee Ah Rin, Jung Seung Gil, and Heo Sung Tae. Yoo Yeon Seok, who plays Shin Yi Rang—the lawyer who delivers satisfying justice by resolving the deep-seated grudges of the deceased—led the room with his fluid and versatile acting. From portraying a warm-hearted man who cannot ignore an elderly street vendor selling vegetables to delicately capturing the confusion and emotional turmoil that unfolds when he suddenly begins seeing ghosts, Yoo Yeon Seok showcased a wide emotional range. Notably making his first full-fledged attempt at comedic acting since his debut, he drew laughter throughout the room with his ever-changing speech patterns, facial expressions, and bold reactions whenever he portrayed possession scenes. Esom, who plays Han Na Hyun—the ace attorney of Taebaek Law Firm boasting a 100 percent win rate—instantly dominated the atmosphere with her cold and sharp charisma. She convincingly portrayed a character who feels alive only through winning cases, capturing her relentless drive and fierce ambition through intense eyes and a restrained tone. Kim Kyung Nam, who plays Yang Do Kyung—the representative of Taebaek Law Firm and Shin Yi Rang’s rival—delivered a compelling portrayal of precarious ambition and razor-sharp energy. As a character who has led the firm in the absence of his father, its true owner, he persuasively depicted a man fiercely striving to earn recognition and trust. The supporting characters, including the dependable “Yi Rang Family,” also add warmth to the story. Jeon Seok Ho, who plays Yi Rang’s brother-in-law Yoon Bong Soo, energized the atmosphere with his lively performance and boundless affection for his family. Yoon Bong Soo is a hard-working aspiring actor who works as a staff member at the “Doo Geun Doo Geun Butcher Restaurant,” boasting an eclectic resume filled with various part-time jobs undertaken in pursuit of realistic acting. After becoming the office manager at Shin Yi Rang’s law firm, his everyday survival knowledge shines unexpectedly. Kim Mi Kyung, who plays Yi Rang’s mother Park Kyung Hwa, firmly anchors the story with her commanding presence as the knife-wielding owner of the “Doo Geun Doo Geun Butcher Shop.” Though she raised Yi Rang while cutting meat at the shop, her tough exterior contrasts with her deeply warm and caring nature. Joining her are Son Yeo Eun as Yi Rang’s older sister Shin Sa Rang and Lee A Rin as Sa Rang’s daughter Yoon Da Bong, completing the cheerful and heartwarming family chemistry of the “Yi Rang Family.” Jung Seung Gil, who plays Father Matteo—a mysterious priest and another key pillar of Shin Yi Rang Law Office—adds a gentle warmth to the drama with his spring-like kindness and positive energy. He is set to offer meaningful advice to Shin Yi Rang at crucial moments. Moreover, other renowned actors, such as Heo Sung Tae, are also set to make special appearances in the drama as Shin Yi Rang’s special ghost clients. “Phantom Lawyer” is set to premiere on March 13 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

As misunderstandings are resolved and old wounds begin to heal, the two households gradually come together and are reborn as one family. Spoilers Previously, Gong Joo Ah (Jin Se Yeon) firmly mistook Yang Hyun Bin (Park Ki Woong) for a stalker when, after the two spent a night together at the beach, he followed her all the way to her workplace. Only later did she learn—shocked—that he is actually the new executive director in charge of the fashion division at Taehan Group, and the two found themselves facing an unpredictable shift in their relationship. In the newly released stills, Gong Joo Ah and Yang Hyun Bin create subtle, intriguing tension that draws attention. Gong Joo Ah’s bright facial expression, as if she has set her embarrassment aside, and Yang Hyun Bin looking at her with a meaningful smile show that their reunion is anything but ordinary. Viewers are left wondering what turn their work lives will take from here. Meanwhile, the rivalry between Gong Jeong Han (Kim Seung Soo) and Yang Dong Ik (Kim Hyung Mook), ignited by the Merchants’ Association chairman election, gradually comes into full swing. The sight of the two facing each other across a single road, with facial expressions that trade off between grim resolve and discomfort, creates tension. On top of that, Gong Dae Han (Choi Dae Chul) and Yang Dong Sook (Jo Mi Ryung) join the fray as well, adding fuel to a showdown fought for the pride of their respective families. In this way, the fiery head-on clash between the Gong family and the Yang family is set to shake up Onjeong Market.

Kim Hye Yoon And Lomon Continue Their Good Deeds On Lee Si Woo's Behalf In "No Tail To Tell"
SBS’s “No Tail to Tell” has shared a glimpse of tonight’s new episode! “No Tail to Tell” is a fantasy romance starring Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Z gumiho (magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human, and Lomon as Kang Si Yeol, an overly confident world-class soccer player. The drama follows the chaotic journey of the two as they attempt to save one another. Spoilers In the previous episode, Pal Mi Ho (eight-tailed fox) (Lee Si Woo) proposed a way for everyone to return to their rightful places—suggesting that after she becomes a gumiho and switches fates with Eun Ho, Eun Ho, once she regained her powers, could restore Kang Si Yeol’s destiny. Although Eun Ho initially strongly opposed the idea after being reminded of Geum Ho, she eventually decided to follow Pal Mi Ho’s wishes and began a good-deeds project in her place. The newly released photos show Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol under warm sunlight, shaking out bedding together and hanging laundry to dry. It creates a romantic atmosphere like a scene from a movie, but Eun Ho’s facial expression is actually sulky—like a child forced to do a chore they don’t want to do. In truth, they have gone out to do volunteer work together to rack up good deeds on Pal Mi Ho’s behalf. Attention is now on whether Eun Ho’s efforts and changes—having lived as a gumiho avoiding both even small good deeds and major wrongdoings for fear of accidentally becoming human—can truly help transform Pal Mi Ho into a gumiho. Meanwhile, another set of stills draws the eye with Eun Ho’s terrified facial expression. Above all, the identity of the white-haired old man (played by Jung Dong Hwan) approaching Eun Ho with eyes full of rage seems anything but ordinary. Curiosity is growing over what connection and backstory ties him to Eun Ho. The production team shared, “Mysterious teamwork between Eun Ho, Kang Si Yeol, and Pal Mi Ho has begun. Please stay tuned to see what true good deeds that can build Pal Mi Ho’s spiritual power will be and whether Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol will be able to find the answer,” adding, “As we enter Part 2, the romance between the two will also deepen even further.” The next episode of “No Tail to Tell” will air on February 6 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
