In Episode 8, Shin I-rang (Yoo Yeon-seok) and Han Na-hyun (Esom) dug into the truth behind a school bullying case. They opened up about their deepest scars and grew closer. Han Na-hyun finally confirmed that the spirit possessing Shin I-rang is her older sister, Han So-hyun (Hwang Bo Reum-byeol). The two now share a secret known only to them.
New stills released on the 9th show the two attorneys together at Shin I-rang’s law office, sparking curiosity. After leaving the major firm “Taebaek,” Han Na-hyun looks poised to start fresh as I-rang’s partner.
The person they’re staring at also steals the spotlight. It’s none other than Lee Deok-hwa, exuding an untouchable aura in a sharp suit. As he studies a mysterious photo alongside Shin I-rang, viewers are left wondering: Is he a living client seeking help, or a new ghost only I-rang can see?
The production team shared, “Watch to see if Shin I-rang and Han Na-hyun officially become a team as Act 2 begins and their ‘possessed teamwork’ kicks into gear. A key viewing point will be how Han Na-hyun’s cool-headed legal judgment supports Shin I-rang’s spirit-led lawyering.”
They added, “Above all, the highlight of this week’s broadcast is veteran actor Lee Deok-hwa’s special appearance. Whether he’s living or dead ― and what role he plays ― will be revealed on air. With the gravitas of his name and a standout performance, he’ll bring even more excitement.”
Building hype with Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom’s budding partnership and Lee Deok-hwa’s arrival, "Phantom Lawyer" airs Episode 9 on the 10th at 9:50 p.m.
