The story
A timid lawyer who suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts teams up with a cold, elite attorney, and together they take on supernatural clients whose unfinished business reveals buried truths.
What it’s like
Bright, clean courtroom interiors with cool fluorescent light, then warmer, shadowy corners where the dead appear, give this Korean supernatural dramedy a slightly heightened, stylised look that moves between polished legal drama and playful genre texture. Expect brisk, snappy editing in courtroom scenes, quick reaction shots and deadpan comic beats, with the ghostly moments rendered through soft haloes of light, muted palettes and a hushed, eerie score that drops into near silence before the next joke lands. The overall vibe is quirky and wry with a streak of melancholy, comfortable for a weeknight binge or a relaxed evening when you want something that is funny and absorbing without asking much of you. Its pacing is episodic, each case unfolding over a few episodes with a steady rhythm, while the central arc follows a nervous, self-doubting lawyer slowly gaining confidence beside a guarded, prickly partner who warms up little by little. Intensity is mild: some supernatural unease and sad backstories, with grief and wrongful death present but handled without graphic violence, gore or explicit content. It suits viewers who enjoy legal procedurals, ghost stories with a light touch, and character-driven dramedy with an offbeat heart.
