i have the feeling that i ended up having a déjà vu

i have the feeling that i ended up having a déjà vu 🤔. ah, i know: i watched exactly a k-drama last year with the same plot and the same premise. but i remember that, there, the guy worked almost for free for the ghosts and still managed to make some money 💰 it’s inevitable we work to earn money.
but here, i don’t get it: why isn’t the main character making any money? not even a little? not a single coin? 🤔

on the other hand, that would be bizarre. a ghost doesn’t have a credit card or money saved. unless they left some amount while alive, but then that would basically be theft. the bank would call the police immediately! a stranger withdrawing money from someone else’s account? that would be simply absurd.

i don’t know anything about law or advocacy, because i’ve never needed it, but it’s normal for you to have some money. the guy, from the beginning, was completely broke. he lives with his mother, then “borrows” (without her knowing) her money and, overnight, already has a place to practice his vocation. so far, so good.

now i ask myself:

how is he going to make money?

who is going to pay the bills?

the ghosts, maybe? 🤔

the guy wrote a script and didn’t research a damn thing. “oh, but it’s fiction.” so what? there are limits to fiction. you don’t write something without knowing at least a little bit about how things work.
not to mention the exaggerated and kind of embarrassing acting. yes, embarrassing. i felt sick i laughed. i thought i was laughing at something he did, but in the end i was laughing at the acting.
ah, and not to forget the synchronicity with which the two lawyers take cases. are they working telepathically? 🤔 or are the ghosts bringing the cases to both of them?

because, honestly, it feels like something written by someone who doesn’t even know what they wrote.

i dropped it. and i felt free when i did that. it was a true liberation. i had more things to say, but i’m not having my best day.

even so, i recommend it… for those who don’t mind some weirdness or like something completely outside logic.
