Phantom Lawyer is the latest K-drama that stands out because of its unique plot. While it remains a legal drama, packed with investigations, courtroom drama and more, what makes it even more interesting to watch is the fantasy elements, especially involving ghosts and supernatural abilities.
It also includes humor and emotional stories, perfectly balancing the overall plot. As of now, five episodes are out, with episode 6 of Phantom Lawyer scheduled to be released today, March 28 on Netflix, Viki and Kocowa for streaming and SBS in South Korea.
At the heart of the K-drama is Shin Yi-rang, a struggling lawyer who finally opens his own small office. Interestingly, the place he rents out turns out to be tied to spirits who have suffered injustice and are now seeking help.
Yi-rang agrees to help them and things become even more unusual when these spirits temporarily take control of his body. During those moments, his personality shifts dramatically which makes the story really engaging.

What happened in Phantom Lawyer episode 5: A quick recap
In episode 5, Yi-rang meets a new ghost, whose initial reaction is disbelief that he’s dead. This ghost is unique because he tries to be logical about his circumstances by applying science to prove that he is not dead and taking over Yi-rang’s body for a few minutes so he can act out his disbelief.
After discovering he cannot touch anything, the truth sets in for him and he becomes despondent. We later find out the ghost, Sang-ho, is a well-known scientist who has a wife and kids. Once Sang-ho remembers who he is, he accuses his wife of having killed him, but also admits he wasn’t a good husband and does not want her to have any punishment.
With the investigation continuing, Na-hyeon questions Sang-ho’s wife, who initially denies involvement but then admits in the courtroom that she acted alone. Meanwhile, Yi-rang continues to look for Sang-ho’s missing body, eventually finding it but causing more problems because a witness places suspicion on him.
The situation gets even worse when Sang-ho possesses Yi-rang again and attacks Yi-rang’s father-in-law. The situation continues to escalate until Yi-rang is taken into police custody.
What to expect from Phantom Lawyer episode 6?
In episode 6, we expect to see the story pick up right from where Yi-rang was arrested, moving both the legal side plot and super-power side plot to a new place. The mystery of Sang-ho’s death could become even more difficult to solve as new evidence emerges.
It’s possible that Yi-rang and Na-hyeon could be at odds with each other again. There could be more moments of possession and the episode will feature more courtroom drama and emotional revelations.
