Yoo Yeon Seok is gaining major attention after his intense transformation in “Phantom Lawyer”, as the drama continues to rise in popularity with strong ratings.
In the latest episode, his character Shin I Rang, who was previously arrested as a murder suspect, was released due to lack of evidence and quickly returned to chasing the real killer. His bold actions and emotional performance helped push the drama to new heights.
The drama recorded 10.6% in the capital area, 10% nationwide, and a peak of 12.8%, ranking No.1 in its time slot and across all Friday and Saturday mini series.
It also stayed No.1 among all currently airing mini series and broke its own highest ratings for three weeks in a row. In the key 2049 viewer rating, it reached 3.5% with a peak of 4.22%, taking the top spot across all programs for the week.
With 10% now considered a major success in today’s drama scene, “Phantom Lawyer” has clearly proven its strong popularity by achieving double digit ratings nationwide and leading both overall and target viewer rankings.
Shin I Rang made a strong impression with his firm belief, saying, “Listening to the stories of wronged spirits is more important than money or fame,” showing his commitment to continue as a lawyer who helps ghosts.
The episode also delivered emotional moments when the truth behind the case began to unfold. One key scene showed a heartbreaking confession tied to family and sacrifice, adding depth to the story and drawing strong reactions from viewers.
As the investigation continued, Shin I Rang teamed up with Han Na Hyun, who admitted, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you,” and chose to work with him as an important part of solving the case.
The tension reached its peak when Shin I Rang set a trap and appeared as a shaman, asking, “Do I still look like a lawyer to you?” This led to a shocking confession, followed by an emotional outburst, “I treated you so well, how could you do this to me,” making the scene even more intense.
With its strong ratings, powerful acting, and emotional storytelling, “Phantom Lawyer” continues to prove why it is one of the most talked about dramas right now.
