Yoo Yeon Seok is quickly becoming one of the biggest reasons viewers are tuning in to SBS’s Phantom Lawyer.
The actor continues to draw strong attention for his performance in the Friday Saturday drama, and the latest episode is now proving that the buzz is turning into real results.
According to the latest ratings, Phantom Lawyer episode 4 recorded 9.1% nationwide and 9.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, while its peak per minute rating climbed to 11.3%, marking a new personal best for the drama.
The series also ranked No. 1 among Saturday mini series by a wide margin, showing its fast rising popularity. Even more impressively, its key 2049 target audience rating reached 2.6%, with a peak of 3.34%, placing it No. 1 among all Saturday broadcasts.
With those numbers, Phantom Lawyer is clearly building strong momentum as one of SBS’s most talked about dramas right now.
In episode 4, Yoo Yeon Seok’s character Shin Irang once again kept viewers hooked as he pushed deeper into the trainee falling case, uncovering key clues and exposing the darker side of jealousy, greed, and hidden motives.
The episode mixed suspense, emotional moments, and sharp pacing, which many viewers say is becoming one of the drama’s biggest strengths.
Another major point drawing praise is the growing teamwork between Shin Irang and Han Na Hyun, as the two continue to move toward the truth in very different ways. Their tense but effective dynamic is adding even more interest as the story moves forward.
The episode ended by teasing a brand new case, while also showing that Shin Irang is now fully stepping into his role as a lawyer who handles ghost clients. That final setup has already sparked more curiosity about what kind of unusual and intense story the drama will deliver next.
With ratings climbing, strong buzz in the key 2049 demographic, and Yoo Yeon Seok continuing to lead the series with a standout performance, Phantom Lawyer is looking more and more like one of the breakout dramas to watch this season.
