Not trying to be negative, but my rating for this show keeps dropping every week. Half of Episode 7 was just flashbacks. Why do we need that many flashbacks in a 25 minute episode?
I’m honestly only watching it now because there’s nothing else airing on Wednesdays at the moment.
There haven’t been many Taiwanese BLs this year, so this has been such a disappointment.
I really hope it gets better because we’re already more than halfway through.
I’ve always had a soft spot for tall actors. Drew at 190cm paired with Tee at 188cm, the two tallest GMMTV actors. I seriously cannot wait!
And thank God it’s airing on Tuesdays. I already have 20 ongoing BLs airing from Friday to Sunday, so my weekends are completely taken up trying to catch up. 😂
10/10 Masterpiece From Start to Finish! Just finished all 16 episodes of Phantom Lawyer and wow, this is one of the best K dramas I've ever watched. The blend of mystery, comedy, law, supernatural, and heartfelt storytelling was absolutely perfect. The ghost cases were so emotional and touching that I cried so many times. Yeon Seok was phenomenal, especially during the possession scenes where he completely transformed into different personalities. The chemistry between Sin I Rang and Han Na Hyeon was great, and the entire family cast was outstanding. This drama had me laughing, crying, and completely hooked from beginning to end. Definitely a perfect 10/10 and a drama I will gladly rewatch. ❤️👏🔥
Me too. But luckily I’m watching 22 airing BL atm or else I will be so impatient. Cannot wait for next episode
Finished Journey with You last week so 21 airing now

I was not expecting Barth's life to be this heartbreaking. When he explained what happened to his parents in Episode 4, it completely changed the way I saw his character.
No wonder Barth is so quiet, guarded, and distant. Some wounds are too deep for words.
He grew up watching his mother suffer at the hands of his father. While other children grew up surrounded by love and warmth, Barth grew up witnessing violence, fear, and pain. The person who should have taught him what love looked like instead showed him cruelty.
Then came the night that changed everything.
His homophobic father discovered that he was gay and turned his hatred toward his own son. Faced with the impossible choice between protecting her child or remaining silent, Barth's mother chose her son.
She struck her husband to save Barth.
But years of fear, anger, and suffering had built up inside her. It wasn't just one blow. It was the release of years of pain, years of abuse, years of helplessness.
In a single night, Barth lost both of his parents.
His father died.
His mother went to prison.
No child should ever have to witness something like that.
As if fate hadn't been cruel enough, Barth returned to a world that offered him little comfort. He was bullied by his classmates simply for being gay. Everywhere he turned, he was met with judgment, rejection, and loneliness.
That is why Tanrak means so much to him.
Tanrak isn't just someone he likes.
Tanrak is the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
When Barth said that without Tanrak he would be lonely, those words carried far more weight than people realize. They weren't simply words of affection. They came from someone who had lost everything. After losing both parents, Tanrak became the one person who stayed by his side.
The one person who made the darkness feel a little less overwhelming.
The one person who reminded him that he deserved love.
That is what makes the waterfall scene so beautiful.
The waterfall itself feels symbolic. For years, Barth carried pain, grief, and loneliness in silence. Yet beneath the rushing water, surrounded by nature's beauty, it was as if all that weight finally began to wash away.
The scenery was breathtaking, but what made the scene unforgettable was the emotion behind it.
For one brief moment, Barth wasn't the boy haunted by his past. He wasn't the child who lost both parents. He wasn't the victim of bullying or rejection.
He was simply someone being loved.
The kiss beneath the waterfall felt like more than a romantic moment. It felt like healing. Like hope. Like a promise that despite everything he had endured, happiness was still possible.
After years of storms, Barth finally found a place where he could rest.
And standing beside him was Tanrak, the light that guided him out of the darkness.
Sorry for the long post. I love writing and poetry, so once I start analyzing characters and scenes, I can go on and on. But Episode 4 really touched me.
Wow, I was not expecting that at the end of Episode 3. Tanrak fell for Barth, but Barth was the one who confessed and kissed him first. What a beautiful kiss.
They have improved so much since High School Musical. It doesn't feel like a GMMTV series at all. My only complaint is that there are only 6 episodes, and we are already halfway through. I am not into God or religion, but this series is amazing so far. Fourth and Gemini are absolutely nailing it.

I think Jay is Director Arthur.Right now, Jay seems to think Sun is different and cute. The cheek kiss felt playful…
Maybe he already knew Sun was the Pink Teddy Bear from five years ago after researching him, which is why he seems to know everything about him. Let’s wait for the next few episodes and see.

You’re the one who needs to chill. Stop going on every post telling people to use spoiler tags. Are you the spoiler police? Unless you work for MDL, don’t tell me or anyone else what to do.
I said I think Jay is Director Arthur. That’s just my guess. It hasn’t been confirmed, and I could be completely wrong. How is that a spoiler when it’s only my opinion?
I also think Jay might find out Sun’s identity when the tattoo is revealed. Again, that’s just my prediction. I’ve never read the novel, so I’m only making assumptions.
Those are predictions, not spoilers. If you don’t like reading theories or speculation, then don’t come into the discussion threads. We’re here to talk about the show, share our thoughts, and make guesses, not talk about the weather.
I have a question.Jay still doesn't know that the person he has been searching for over the past five years is…
I think Jay is Director Arthur.
Right now, Jay seems to think Sun is different and cute. The cheek kiss felt playful and affectionate rather than romantic. I kiss my friends on the cheek all the time, so I didn't see it as a big deal.
But once Jay discovers that Sun is actually the guy he had a one-night stand with five years ago, I don't think it'll stay at innocent cheek kisses anymore. His feelings and reactions will probably become much more intense.
My theory is that Jay will recognize Sun as soon as he sees the tattoo. The tattoo feels like the biggest clue connecting their past, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the moment everything finally clicks for him.

This would have worked so much better if they had made it 8 episodes at 25 minutes each instead of 16 episodes at 12 to 13 minutes each.
