both have involvement of supernatural clients (ghosts). both dramas are simultaneously humorous and bittersweet and gives us a glimpse into the lives of people from various walks of life and hardships of human life. one of the MC is a lawyer while the other one is a photographer and both of them have the ability to see ghosts. both the MC's are empathetic and kind and thus help the dead to resolve their resentments and unfulfilled wishes. we get to see the life , challenges and aspirations of different people and we learn to be just a little more kind to people and not judge a book by its cover. it shows us that even small acts of kindness can save a life and make someone's day much brighter. all in all both of the dramas have a little bit of everything --- humor, mystery, a touch of romance, bittersweet moments, supernatural elements, courtroom, heartwarming moments etc........ both are an engaging and delightful watch that makes you feel lighter but also helps us to understand this vast and ever changing world a little more deeply.
Both dramas are about a male lead who suddenly starts seeing ghosts and ends up helping them settle their unfinished business before they move on. They’re funny but also meaningful and each ghost’s story usually takes about two episodes to wrap up.
The similar premise. A labor attorney seeks justice for ghosts who died at work and it was cover up etc...
PL = Phantom Lawyer; TD = Taxi Driver
Similarities:
- Approx. 1½ to 2 episodes are spent per "Client".
- Each client has gone through alot of suffering. The leads help them overcome their suffering by taking them in as a client and helping them correct society's decisions through their actions.
- The leads are driven to pursue their work due to a sense of justice and wanting to right.
- The leads character development (past traumas, etc.) takes place as they close each case.
- Esom plays the FL who is a lawyer. Her character's persona is the same.
Differences:
- Esom is a Private Firm Lawyer in PL and a Public Prosecutor in TD
- PL client are ghosts who want to overcome their earthly sufferings to pass on peacefuly. TD clients are living people who want revenge.
- PL is more light-hearted, comparatively less serious and lots of slapstick comedy. TD is more dark-themed with limited comedy.
- ML is a softie in PL while TD's ML is thick-skinned and can fight really well.

He meets the gloomy Tae Gong Shil, who started seeing ghosts after an accident. Their lives take a new turn as they work together to deal with the terror and sadness brought about by the spirits, while delving into a kidnapping incident in Joong Won's past. And unknowingly, they fell in love with each other."

This is MDL description of Hotel Del Luna: "In the heart of Seoul stands a mysterious, ancient hotel, managed by the greedy and resentful Jang Man Wol, who has spent a thousand years running it. Bound by a deity to prevent her from self-destructing due to her anger and thirst for revenge, Man Wol’s only chance of freedom lies in letting go of her hatred and finding love.

I’m not saying the two dramas are similar except for the ghost-seeing element, they have very different vibes. I just want people who haven’t watched Revenant to give it a try.
PL is a hilarious drama where the ML suddenly starts seeing ghosts and helps them resolve their problems.
Revenant, on the other hand follows a much darker story about a FL who becomes possessed. Along with a professor and a detective, she tries to uncover the root of the ghost so they can get rid of it. It’s horror done really well.
Both dramas have excellent casting and great production, so if you’re into horror, give Revenanta try.
