Esom begins a new chapter after resignation as she reunites with Yoo Yeon Seok in “Phantom Lawyer”

“Ghost lawyer” you have a big change in Esom‘s character!

“Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite lawyer Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients – ghosts – through the law.

Han Na Hyun was once Taebaek Law Firm’s cold-blooded ace lawyer, a lawyer who provided everything through results alone. However, after meeting Shin I Rang, cracks began to form in her once solid world. In the previous episode, Han Na Hyun initially tried to strategically use Shin I Rang’s abilities to ensure victory, but was eventually moved by the deceased’s sincerity, leading her to make a decision far removed from Taebaek’s principles. In a moment of crisis, she unlocked a cage directly, allowing watchdogs to tame the real guilt – a cathartic moment for viewers. However, her choice ended up causing significant losses for the research institute, which was the firm’s client.

In the pre-release clip for Episode 7, Han Na Hyun appears as someone who suddenly resigned. This raises curiosity as to what deciding factor – between business wins, losses and her risky collaboration with Shin I Rang – ultimately led to her departure.

The clip opens with a tense battle between Han Na Hyun and Taebaek’s CEO Yang Do Kyung (Kim Kyung Nam). Looking for her after her resignation, Yang Do Kyung tries to persuade her by saying, “There are times you win and times you lose,” and even offers her an overseas training opportunity in New York. However, Han Na Hyun firmly draws the line, saying, “I’ve already taken care of the compensation for the research institute,” and doesn’t show a second of hesitation in rejecting his persistent request to return, repeatedly declaring, “I’m not going back!” before you walk away. All eyes are now on the future path of Han Na Hyun, who left behind Taebaek to become independent.

The newly released photos visually capture this shift in relationships. Shin I Rang, who declared himself “free from ghosts” and began taking on human clients, reunites with Han Na Hyun, who became “free from Taebaek” and now stands outside the court. Han Na Hyun’s cold gaze as she looks down at Shin I Rang sitting on the ground contrasts with Shin I Rang’s resentful expression at her, creating a humorous dynamic. Notably, Yang Do Kyung is also seen watching the two, their expression clearly uncomfortable.

The production team said, “It will be interesting to see how Han Na Hyun, who was once driven solely by cold logic, turns into a more humane lawyer after encountering the hot variable, Shin I Rang.” They added, “Please look forward to the unique partnership between Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun, who push each other away yet gradually become a team, as well as the tension created by Yang Do Kyung as he keeps them in check.”

Episode 7 of “Phantom Lawyer” will air on April 3 at 9:50 PM KST.
