Unpopular opinion: This is not a legal drama. It's a ghost possession drama with occasional court scenes. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

That said, Yoo Yeon Seok is the reason to watch. When he's possessed, he completely becomes each ghost client, acting exactly like the deceased person. His transformations are spot on, and my personal favorite was the idol singer case. He really makes every ghost feel different.

The cases are varied every time and involve people from all kinds of backgrounds, but they all add up to explain why their spirits appeared at the former shaman's place which is now Shin Yirang's office. I like how seemingly random spirits have interesting stories.

I have mixed feelings about the many hats our lawyer Yirang wears. For most of the show, he's more of an investigator or therapist or hero. I get that he goes all the way for his ghost clients, but the court scenes and law stuff are minimized.

What annoyed me the most is how easily Shin Yirang gets possessed, especially without his consent. It's even worse when the ghosts are impulsive and reckless, landing him in the hospital, in prison, or making him eat food he's allergic to. The most annoying of all is when the possession happens in court. It was so embarrassing every single time, especially during the grandma's case on division of shares. I physically cringed.

Overall, I enjoyed the creative ghost cases and Yoo Yeon Seok's acting. If you're a fan of his then tune in, just don't expect realistic legal drama and prepare for secondhand embarrassment in the courtroom.
