I love this drama so much I thought it would be an exaggerated one since the plot seems like that, but the way the cases focuses more on the personal lives of the ghosts is impressive for me the comedy is great too one of the things that I learned from this drama is to say what you want when you have the time because you will regret it later in your life ,some scenes made me cry too the one with Lee Gang Pung and lastly the case of Shin -I-Rang's father, Shin-Gi-Jung .The casting is great too it's my first time watching Esom in a drama and I'm amazed ,all the actors didn't disappoint

A Good Watch and an Emotional Rollercoaster
I was a bit reluctant to start this one but finally decided to give it a chance today and was hooked. Binged the first four episodes and looking forward to the next episodes.I won’t say much about the story to avoid spoilers but one minute I’m laughing, the next, I’m bawling my eyes out. And what does that tell you? It is, for sure, a good story. Emotional plot line and I love the concept too.
Ah, also the little romance blooming on the side is really cute to see, so yeah, there’s that too.
Overall, it’s a good show so far, and if just like me you’re also contemplating watching it, you should. I believe you won’t regret it.
I hope the quality stays consistent until the end of the show.
EDIT - it got boring at episode 12 or so but still a good watch

A Perfect Balance of Comedy and Emotion
Phantom Lawyer is a surprisingly refreshing mix of humor, heart, and solid storytelling. What I appreciated most is how naturally it balances comedy with more emotional moments—it never feels forced or overdone.Yoo Yeon Seok truly shines here. His performance carries the drama, showing great range from light, comedic scenes to more intense and emotional moments. He brings depth and charm to his character, making him both entertaining and easy to root for.
What elevates the series further is the emotional core of the story, especially the ghost storyline. It adds a touching layer that stays with you, giving the drama more meaning beyond its legal and comedic elements.
Overall, Phantom Lawyer is an enjoyable and heartfelt watch, with strong acting, well-balanced tone, and a story that knows how to make you laugh while still pulling at your emotions.

A roller coaster ride
This series is so fun and would make you experience a lot of emotions while watching. Comedy is not my type of genre but I laughed so hard at random times while watching.The music is also on point. I just love how it add more flavor to the scene.
The ghosts are also funny but would also make you feel sad. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the stories they would tell, and how they will resolve their grievances and move on.

So boring I couldn’t finish.
This just drags on. For a drama to be interesting you have to care about the characters and I didn’t give a s__t about any of them. Slapstick not remotely funny. The Korean drama writers are talentless hacks. I used to love Korean dramas but they’ve gotten so terrible. It used to be one in 10 were pretty good. Now it’s one in 20 if lucky.Was this review helpful to you?
Handsome lead, same old clichés, predictable script
This is a very light, popcorn-type series clearly aimed at fans of the male lead (the same actor from When the Phone Rings). And the show knows it.Beyond the attractive protagonist, the story offers nothing new. It runs entirely on the familiar supernatural formula these dramas have used many times before:
A ghost with an unresolved injustice.
The protagonist receives privileged information from the spirit.
To everyone else he looks crazy because he talks to the ghost or suddenly acts possessed.
Using that information, he confronts the culprit.
The guilty party panics or exposes themselves.
Moral justice is delivered and the spirit finally moves on.
And that’s the system.
This isn’t really a legal drama, because the protagonist already knows the truth from the beginning. The courtroom simply becomes a stage to reveal what the ghost already told him.
0 out of 5 stars if you’re looking for something original.
5 out of 5 if you just want to watch your favorite actor and don’t care about the story at all.

Engraçado e emocionante
Termjnei o último episódio meio que as lágrimas… que dorama bom galera!E um dorama que te prende desde o começo até o último episódio pq mistura muito bem comédia, drama e histórias emocionantes. A cada episódio, a trama fica mais envolvente e você começa a se apegar aos casos e aos personagens, principalmente porque cada história traz algo diferente: algumas são leves e engraçadas, outras são bem tristes e até revoltantes.
O que mais gostei foi que o dorama consegue ser divertido e emocionante ao mesmo tempo, sem ficar cansativo. Ele aborda situações humanas, injustiças e dores que muitas pessoas passam, mas sempre com aquele toque de humor e esperança que deixa tudo mais gostoso de acompanhar.
Além disso, o ritmo é ótimo: não tem enrolação. Quando você percebe, já está querendo assistir mais um episódio..
No geral, é um dorama muito bom, bem construído e perfeito pra quem gosta de uma história que faz rir, mas também faz pensar e até chorar.
Vale muitooo a pena assistir
10000/10 ✨✨✨

Ça ne réinvente rien… mais ça fonctionne super bien !!!
Franchement, "Phantom Lawyer" m’a fait passer un super moment 😭👻Ici, on suit un avocat qui galère à trouver du travail à cause du nom qu’il porte et du passé de son défunt père, un ancien procureur. Faute d’opportunités, il finit par ouvrir son propre cabinet… sauf qu’avec le peu de moyens qu’il a, il se retrouve à louer l’ancien local d’un chaman décédé 😅
Et forcément… sa vie bascule complètement 🤣
Du jour au lendemain, il commence à voir des fantômes 👻, et ce qui ressemblait à une simple “malédiction” va finalement l’embarquer dans des affaires beaucoup plus profondes que prévu. Il finit par faire équipe avec Han Na Hyeon, une avocate d’élite plutôt cartésienne, et ensemble ils vont s’occuper de clients un peu particuliers… des clients surnaturels 😏
Chaque fantôme traîne derrière lui une histoire inachevée, des regrets, des injustices ou des vérités qu’on a essayé d’enterrer. Et clairement, plus le drama avance, plus on comprend que résoudre ces affaires revient surtout à faire remonter à la surface des choses que certaines personnes auraient préféré laisser dans l’ombre 👀
Déjà, parlons de Yoo Yeon Seok 🔥. Franchement, je l’ai trouvé excellent dans le rôle de Sin I Rang 👌🏻. Les scènes où il est “possédé” étaient un vrai régal à regarder 🤣 Il change complètement d’attitude, de manière de parler, de posture… et il gère ça super bien. Il arrive autant à te faire rire qu’à te toucher dans les moments plus émotionnels 🥹
Et sa dynamique avec Lee Som fonctionne vraiment bien 🫶🏻. Au début, leur relation est assez conflictuelle. Déjà parce qu’ils bossent dans des cabinets rivaux, mais surtout parce qu’elle le prend clairement pour un escroc 😭 et honnêtement… vu son histoire, on peut difficilement lui en vouloir 😅
J’ai beaucoup aimé leur évolution au fil des épisodes. Ils ont des caractères totalement différents, une vision opposée des choses, mais justement ça crée un équilibre super agréable entre les moments plus sérieux et les scènes plus légères.
Et niveau casting secondaire… franchement, quel plaisir 😭🫶🏻. Impossible de citer tout le monde tellement il y a de visages connus, mais Kim Mi Kyung est encore une fois parfaite dans son rôle de mère ❤️ Et Jun Suk Ho, dans le rôle du beau-frère, m’a vraiment fait rire plusieurs fois 🤣
Après, faut être honnête, le drama ne révolutionne pas le genre... 😅. On reste sur quelque chose d’assez prévisible, et il existe déjà plusieurs dramas dans ce style (Oh My Ghost Clients m’est directement venu en tête 👀). Mais malgré ça, le mélange entre humour, émotion et surnaturel fonctionne bien, et le casting aide énormément à rendre le tout attachant.
Il y a certaines affaires qui m’ont plus touchée que d’autres, ce qui est assez classique dans ce type de format. Par contre, j’avoue que le drama commence un peu à s’essouffler sur la longueur 😬. On sent que certaines intrigues tirent un peu trop, surtout vers la fin.
Et évidemment… On est encore sur une fin ouverte... Clairement, ils laissent la porte grande ouverte à une saison 2 👀, après je ne suis pas certaine que la saison 2 fonctionne aussi bien 🤷🏼♀️
Bref, "Phantom Lawyer" ne réinvente rien, mais ça reste un drama super divertissant. Il est porté par un casting vraiment solide et une bonne dynamique équilibré entre humour, émotion et surnaturel ✌🏻

10/10 Legal drama with perfect mix of supernatural stuff
To begin with, the male lead isn't just any attorney-he's basically a walking, talking legal helpline for the afterlife.While normal lawyers deal with paperwork, deadlines, and annoying clients, this guy deals with... dead people who pop up like, "Excuse me, I was murdered 10 years ago, can you reopen my case?" And instead of running away like a norma human being, he goes, "Sure, let me grab my coat and dramatic background music."
The concept itself is already wild. Imagine trying to explain this in court: "Your honor, my client is... technically deceased, but emotionally very present."
The judge: confused.
The jury: concerned.
The audience: absolutely loving it.
Each episode feels like a mix of legal drama, horror, and a bit of emotional therapy-for ghosts. These spirits aren't just floating around saying "boo." No, they come with full backstories, unresolved trauma, and enough emotional baggage to fill an entire courtroom. And our phantom lawyer? He listens patiently and solves their cases like a pro.
What makes it even funnier is how casually he handles the supernatural. Ghost appears behind him? He's like, "Give me a minute, I'm taking a sip of coffee."
And then comes the investigation part. Since the victims are literally telling him what happened, you'd think solving cases would be easy. But no-this is a drama. So somehow, even with ghostly eyewitnesses, things get complicated.
There are twists, secrets, dramatic reveals and they all come at regular intervals when you least expect it. I also firmly believe that the male lead very soon see his own deceased father in ghost form and he might reveal the details behind his unfortunate death and request him to take up his case.
In conclusion, Phantom Lawyer feels like the perfect blend of a courtroom drama and a supernatural thriller, seasoned with an extra dose of over-the-top flair-and surprisingly, it all comes together seamlessly. It manages to be eerie, heartfelt, absurd, and irresistibly engaging at the same time.

c’est ca qu’on veut …
ce que je reproche aux séries françaises et que je trouve dans les séries coréennes et japonaises ou encore Chinoise c’est que lé s productions OSENT les genrés et encore mieux le mélange des genres. là où en france les productions font soit des séries fantastiques, soit des séries policières, soit des comédies romantiques, les séries coréennes et ce drama en particulier mélangent les 3 genres et c’est … PEPITE!c’est une très bonne serie de procès avec des histoires tellement émouvantes, que cela soit la jeunes stat de kpop, le vieux monsieur atteint d’alzeimer ou encore le petit enfant … et tout cela avec une side de fantastique car cet avocat va bien sûr prendre la défense de … fantômes !!!
non vraiment pepite , l’acting est parfait, … tout est parfait, 16 épisodes d’émotions et de rires.

phim hay lắm nên coi thử nha mọi ng ,NHỚ COI ,nhớ coi,nhớ coi ,nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nha ,nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nhớ coi nhơcoi nhớ coiVề mặt hình ảnh, từng góc máy được chăm chút tỉ mỉ như một bức họa, kết hợp cùng dải màu tinh tế giúp dẫn dắt cảm xúc người xem một cách tự nhiên. Nhưng có lẽ, linh hồn của bộ phim chính là phần kịch bản quá đỗi nhân văn. Những câu chuyện tưởng chừng như đơn giản lại chứa đựng những thông điệp sâu sắc về tình yêu, tình bạn và khát vọng sống. Từng nút thắt, mở được sắp đặt thông minh, khiến mình không thể rời mắt khỏi màn hình dù chỉ một giây.
