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.
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.

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.
