Acclaimed Korean actor Yoo Yeon-seok will headline the upcoming legal drama Shin Yi Rang’s Law Firm, as confirmed by his agency, King Kong by Starship Entertainment, earlier today.
The show pairs Yoo Yeon-seok as a supernaturally gifted lawyer with renowned Korean actress Esom, who plays a distinguished attorney.
The series is a courtroom drama with a spooky twist, co-written by Kim Ga‑young and Kang Cheol‑gyu, and directed by Shin Jung‑hoon. The narrative plays out like a courtroom drama mixed with paranormal elements — where the witnesses are literally dead.
Yoo Yeon-seok stars as Shin Yi-rang, a lawyer who expects a clean slate when he opens his own practice— until he learns the office once belonged to a shaman. That tiny detail turns his life inside out. Overnight, he develops an unexpected “skill”: the ability to see ghosts. But these aren’t just any ghosts; they’re heartbroken spirits with unfinished business and a fierce need for justice. Soon, they’re lining up as clients, each carrying grudges, regrets, and stories only Yi-rang can hear.
On the other side of the bench is Esom, portraying the ice‑cold ace Han Na‑hyeon. She’s the top gun at a prestigious law firm, famous for never losing a case and being as ruthless as they come. Yi‑rang’s awkward charm is the exact opposite of Na‑hyeon’s steely precision, and when she finally loses a case to him, the two are forced into an unlikely partnership. Yi‑rang opens up about his ghostly visitors, and Na‑hyeon — initially skeptical — starts seeing the strange things herself. As the weird incidents pile up, she learns to trust him, and together they begin to fight for their most unusual clients.
Soompi reports that the production team shared that Shin Yi‑rang’s abilities, Han Na‑hyeon’s insight and judgment skills, and the ghost clients with their heartfelt stories will create an entertaining mix of laughter, suspense, and emotional moments. They added that while Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom are perfectly suited to bring things to life, Shin Yi Rang’s Law Firm will be much more than just another drama in the list of SBS TV’s upcoming courtroom dramas.
The series is expected to be released in 2026.
