Yoo Yeon Seok And Esom Form An Unconventional Lawyer Duo In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”

Yoo Yeon Seok And Esom Form An Unconventional Lawyer Duo In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”

SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Phantom Lawyer” has teased the dynamic between Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom! “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. In the stills, Shin Yi Rang and Han Na Hyun sit facing each other, creating a tense atmosphere. Shin Yi Rang listens to the words of ghosts and even their grievances, defending truths that cannot be seen. By contrast, Han Na Hyun is a principled attorney who trusts only the facts before her, aiming solely for victories won through evidence and logic. Even when working in the same space and on the same case, the two lawyers’ starkly different interpretations foreshadow a relationship that will never be easy. It remains to be seen how these two will shake each other’s worlds. Yet, just as opposites attract, and differing abilities create synergy, their relationship gradually enters a new phase as they uncover the truth behind a strange case. Han Na Hyun, who once did not believe in ghosts, encounters Shin Yi Rang’s supernatural world with each case, eventually becoming his most reliable ally. The journey from clashes and suspicion to trust and collaboration is a central storyline that drives both the tension and the entertainment of the drama. The production team said, “The premise of a lawyer who sees ghosts and an attorney who does not believe in ghosts is the clearest way to show the contrast between the two characters. As they work to solve cases, clashes, fractures, and unexpected moments of empathy happen at the same time, creating a ‘possessed chemistry’ that will drive the heart of this revenge adventure.” They added, “Since Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom are actors with completely different energies, the tension and rhythm they create together will heighten the drama’s immersion.” “Phantom Lawyer” is set to premiere on March 13 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Upcoming drama “Mad Concrete Dreams” has unveiled the first stills of Kim Jun Han in character! “Mad Concrete Dreams” is a thriller drama that follows a struggling landlord who becomes entangled in crime to protect his family and property.

After repeated failures in investments and business, he gradually becomes virtually invisible within the family. The person Min Hwal Seong feels superior to is his friend, Ki Soo Jong.

Ha Young Confirmed To Join Lee Je Hoon In New Legal Drama

Ha Young will be starring alongside Lee Je Hoon in the upcoming SBS drama “There’s a Winning Chance” (literal translation)! “There’s a Winning Chance” is a lighthearted, comedic legal detective series about an unconventional law office led by Kwon Baek, a former attorney and current office manager, that takes on unwinnable cases and turns them into winnable fights in ways the world has never seen. Lee Je Hoon plays Kwon Baek, a former star attorney and current office manager of Seungsan Law Office.

As an eccentric office manager who is more capable and more entertaining than he was during his days as an attorney, he shakes things up as he sets traps and stages bold schemes to uncover the truth. Ha Young plays Yeo Shim Hee, a rookie attorney who has neither money nor powerful connections but works harder than anyone else. Unaware that her only role model, Kwon Baek, fell from grace in a bribery scandal, Yeo Shim Hee accepts his offer and becomes the lead attorney at Seungsan Law Office. Disappointed by the changed image of her role model, Yeo Shim Hee is later moved when she realizes that the eccentric office manager, Kwon Baek—whom she believed was doing nothing—is actually thinking several steps ahead. Under Kwon Baek’s guidance, she grows into a capable attorney. Lee Je Hoon and Ha Young are expected to deliver strong performances and a layered portrayal of their characters’ relationship. The playful dynamic between the office manager and the attorney, evolving from a mentor-mentee relationship to partners who support each other, is expected to highlight their chemistry. “There’s a Winning Chance” is scheduled to premiere in 2027.
