9 K-Dramas Where The Leads Can See Ghosts
There’s something weirdly comforting about a K-drama lead who can see the dead. Maybe it’s because ghosts, with all their unfinished business and lingering regrets, often just want what the living do: to be heard, understood, and remembered. And somehow, the people who can see them become the ones who help them find that closure. From lawyers and cops to magicians and heiresses, K-dramas have given us plenty of characters who cross into the world of the dead and discover that seeing ghosts can be less of a curse and more of a calling. From cult classics to this year’s buzziest releases, here are the K-dramas that make the otherworldly feel surprisingly human.
“The Master’s Sun”
Kong Hyo Jin plays Tae Gong Sil, an insomniac who has been able to see ghosts since a mysterious accident. Her outwardly companions constantly pester her and make her do things for them, from settling scores, bringing justice, and helping them tie up unfinished business. The only time she finds respite from the spirits trailing her is when she touches the cold, aloof CEO Joo Jong Won (So Ji Sub).
What starts as a strange physical necessity turns into one of the genre’s most beloved slow-burn romances, with a ghost-of-the-week structure that never lets the scares outweigh the heart.

“Oh My Ghost”
Na Bong Sun (Park Bo Young) is a timid chef who has this uncanny knack of seeing ghosts, which haunts her and makes her very self-conscious. When she allows the spirit of a young woman who died under mysterious circumstances to possess her body, things get hilariously complicated. This is especially true when Chef Kang Sun Woo (Cho Jung Seok) falls for Bong Sun and the spirit also falls for the chef, making it a strangely tingly triangle.
As chaotic and funny as the premise sounds, it also has a deeply touching and haunting story at its heart, as the spirit tries to uncover the truth behind her death and is helped in seeking justice. Plus Park Bo Young and Cho Jung Seok give us the romance as well as the laughs.

“Sell Your Haunted House”
When your real estate business involves properties where people have died, closing a deal can get a little complicated. Hong Ji Ah (Jang Nara) is a real estate broker who specializes in properties where people have died or where paranormal activity has been reported. She is forced into an uneasy partnership with Oh In Beom (Jung Yong Hwa), a con artist posing as a shaman. Ji Ah soon discovers that In Beom has a psychic ability that can amplify her powers.
This show is a zippy watch, as the two hustle together for their own vested interests while dealing with ghosts who have unfinished business.

“Oh My Ghost Clients”
Noh Mu Jin (Jung Kyung Ho) is a broke, self-absorbed labor attorney who signs away his life to survive a near-death accident, only to find himself representing ghosts with unresolved workplace grievances. Along with his sister-in-law, Na Hee Ju (Seol In Ah), and a YouTuber, Go Hyeon Woo (Cha Hak Yeon), they form “Team Mujins” to represent the grudges of their ghost clients.
“Oh My Ghost Clients” is a socially conscious spin on the ghost-seeing-lawyer trope, with real anger about workplace injustice underneath all the comedy.

“Hotel Del Luna”
IU plays Jang Man Wol, the imperious, immortal owner of a hotel that exists only for spirits passing through on their way to the next world. Man Wol is a thousand-year-old spirit that can only get the window to release herself from the mortal world when she finds a new owner for the hotel. Goo Chan Sung (Yeo Jin Goo), the very human manager, gets roped into running it alongside her. She finally has hope, but love is certainly not part of the memo.
Equal parts fantasy, tragedy, and romance, this drama remains one of the genre’s most visually sumptuous entries.

“Phantom Lawyer”
Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a passionate lawyer, has a heart of gold. But professional success evades him, and he’s had no luck landing a single interview with any law firm. Things change when he rents an office space in a former shaman’s shop and starts attracting ghost clients instead. He’s occasionally possessed by the spirits he represents, borrowing their courage to win cases for the dead—much to the disbelief of his cutthroat rival attorney (Esom).
A feel-good legal drama with a touch of spookiness, “Phantom Lawyer” makes you laugh and shed a few tears as well as give you the thrills and twists, which make this genre so entertaining.

“Spooky in Love”
Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin) is a hotel heiress who has been able to see ghosts all her life. It’s an ability that has made her wary of getting close to people. Ma Kang Wook (Yang Se Jong) is a sharp prosecutor whose life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Yeo Ri. When the two discover that her supernatural ability can help him solve mysterious cases, they form an unlikely partnership, with ghosts, murder investigations, and an unexpected romance thrown into the mix.
The drama blends supernatural mystery, comedy, and romance while the ghost stories add an emotional layer to what begins as an unusual love story.
“The East Palace”
Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk) is a spirit slayer who can cross between the human world and the realm of ghosts, while Saeng Gang (Roh Yoon Seo) is a court lady who has been able to hear the voices of the dead since childhood. When the King summons them to investigate a mysterious curse haunting the East Palace, the unlikely pair are drawn into a dangerous world of restless spirits, royal secrets, and a curse threatening the royal family.
With its atmospheric palace setting, supernatural mystery, and dark fantasy elements, this show is a striking departure from the usual historical drama.
“From Now On, Showtime!“
Cha Cha Woong (Park Hae Jin) is a popular but rather arrogant magician whose spectacular tricks have an unusual secret: he employs a group of ghosts as his assistants. When he crosses paths with passionate police officer Go Seul Hae (Jin Ki Joo), who discovers his supernatural secret, the unlikely pair begin working together to solve crimes with the help of his ghostly crew.
What starts as a quirky supernatural comedy gradually becomes a touching story about unfinished business, justice, and the bonds between the living and the dead.

3 Emotional And Spooky K-Dramas To Watch If You Miss “Phantom Lawyer”
After falling in love with Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a kindhearted and righteous lawyer, who, acquiring the unique ability to see ghosts, decides to help lost souls seek justice, it comes as no surprise that some viewers yearn for that combination of heartfelt stories, comical moments, and thrilling plot twists. If you are one of the many who are addicted to this genre of shows, here are some emotional K-dramas with a touch of spookiness to watch if you miss “Phantom Lawyer”!
1. “Oh My Ghost”
A prickly famous chef, a painfully shy assistant, and a sassy female ghost make the most unconventional yet unforgettable combination. An oldie but goldie show, “Oh My Ghost” follows the story of Na Bong Sun (Park Bo Young), a timid woman who lives haunted by her ability to see ghosts until she meets Shin Soon Ae (Kim Seul Gi), a young woman who died on unknown circumstances and is literally on the run trying to fulfill her last wish before going to the afterlife. Deciding they could help each other achieve their goals, Bong Sun reluctantly allows Soon Ae to possess her body, unaware of the consequences this could bring to both of them, especially after Chef Kang Sun Woo (Jo Jung Suk) starts to fall in love with Bong Sun.
A show that could be considered one of the pioneers of this genre, “Oh My Ghost” remains as one of the fans’ favorites. Displaying her unending natural charm, Park Bo Young makes you fall in love with her as both sweet Bong Sun and cheeky Soon Ae. As the first starts to break out of her shell and confidently finds her own path in life, Kim Seul Gi also steals your heart with her pitiful yet resilient story, which turns into a chilling point of the show. On the other hand, Jo Jung Suk adds to the show with his complex character, who slowly but surely opens up his hesitating heart, going from an unapproachable man to the sweetest lover. If you want to go down the nostalgia line, then make sure to add this K-drama to your must-watch.

2. “From Now On, Showtime!”
Every great magician has some tricks up his sleeve, but for Cha Cha Woong (Park Hae Jin), the key to his success as a showman isn’t exactly in his clothes but in his head, as he has the extraordinary ability to see and speak with ghosts. With three spirits as his faithful assistants, Cha Woong has been able to build a career as an incredible magician. However, when he is closer than ever to reaching his goal of fleeing to a desert island and spending the rest of his life isolated from the world he despises, a simple video recording threatens to reveal to the world his secret. That’s when his path crosses with Go Seul Hae (Jin Ki Joo), a police officer who dreams of becoming a detective to uncover the truth of her father’s death.
After more than a couple of misunderstandings, Cha Woong, Seul Hae, and his group of ghosts start an unlikely team to not only free Cha Woong from the burden of his ancestor’s karma but also to find the culprit behind the death of Seul Hae’s father and to fulfill the rest of the group’s pending matters. As the plot moves forward, what starts as a simple comedy turns into a rollercoaster of emotions between the thriller criminal mysteries and the touching goodbye scenes. Another interesting element in this K-drama is that, while the main couple begins as your typical enemies-to-lovers, their relationship turns out to be even more intricate than you could have expected. If you’re wondering what other secret this story could have in store for you, tune in now!

3. “Hotel Del Luna”
Before reaching heaven, every soul has the chance to rest in one special place with only the best of the best. “Hotel Del Luna” offers the most luxurious experience for ghosts, at least for the ones who can pay for it. That is the rule of its owner, Jang Man Wol (IU), a heartless and frivolous thousand-year spirit who is condemned to atone for her sins until she finds a new owner for the hotel, without any chance of actually doing so. After centuries of running the place smoothly, Man Wol finds her first glimpse of hope when Goo Chan Sung (Yeo Jin Goo) joins her as the new manager to pay for an old debt from his father. Inadvertently, what seems like the beginning of a nightmare ends up as one of the most epic love stories.
Though gruesome to the point of actually making things scary, this K-drama combines the excellent performance from every main and secondary cast member with an intriguing story and electric chemistry to deliver a total banger of a show that became one of the most impactful K-dramas of 2019. The plot follows diverse underlying storylines, but the main focus remains on the unfulfilled connection between Jang Man Wol, her first love Go Chung Myung (Lee Do Hyun), and the mysterious fateful connection with Chan Sung. If you haven’t watched this one or you’re craving for a re-watch, this is your cue to do so.

3 Moments We Loved From The Final Episodes Of “Phantom Lawyer”
Our favorite lawyer is saying goodbye! We might not have seen much action from Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok) in court throughout the show, but he far surpassed the typical office work to ensure every one of his clients got what they deserved, turning him into one of the best lawyers in K-dramaland. And when it came to what could be his most important case ever, he didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line to succeed, giving this story the ending it deserved. Here are the moments we loved the most in the last episodes of “Phantom Lawyer”!
Warning: spoilers from episodes 15-16 ahead.
1. Shin I Rang revealing the truth about his father’s death
After giving his memories back to his father, it was fairly easy for I Rang to confirm that everything he knew about his father was real. He wasn’t the corrupt and evil person everyone had believed him to be. He was the kind, warm, and loving father he always admired. Once he is certain of this, I Rang is determined to find the true culprit. The problem is, the moment he retrieves the only piece of evidence that his father left behind before passing away, they snatch it from his fingers at the last moment.
Though Shin Gi Jung (cameo by Choi Won Young) helps him and Han Na Hyun (Esom) escape unscathed by possessing his son’s body and showing off his kendo abilities, he gets concerned about I Rang’s safety. After all, his fatherly heart is still the same. But what Gi Jung doesn’t know is that his son is more resourceful and clever than he appears to be.
Using all the tricks up his sleeve, he and his team recover the voice recorder from Yang Do Kyung (Kim Kyung Nam) and expose Yang Byeong Il’s (Choi Kwang Il) crimes. And this moment couldn’t have been more satisfying to watch. It’s your typical “the good one always wins” trope, but it still works because the emotions feel real and overflow in a way that makes you cry watching both father and son realizing justice has finally arrived.
2. Shin I Rang and his family bonding with his father
While there’s much action and some thrill in these couple of episodes, there’s also much emotion going on. I Rang not only had the chance to discover the truth about his father’s death, but also to bond with his father in a special way, something he couldn’t do since his childhood. And when his mother and especially his older sister realize that his father is back, that’s when the real waterfall of tears begins. Once his name is cleared, the only thing left to do for Shin Gi Jung is to say one last goodbye to his family. The years they endured living under a shadow of shame and uncertainty are finally clear, and they can share a happy family moment again.
But in the end, not everything is happiness, at least not for everyone. Things turn a little bitter when Shin Gi Jung reunites with his once good friend Yang Byeong Il, who is unashamed about his crimes. However, despite Gi Jung being the one who passed away, it is Byeong Il who ends up more resentful and spiteful about his situation. But in a sense, it is an appropriate ending for this villain. They don’t try to humanize him or make you feel pity for him, since he ultimately reaped what he sowed. Another clear contrast between the good and the bad ones reflects on Yang Do Kyung, who, despite all his struggles to please his father and follow his will, is left behind all alone.
3. Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun confessing their feelings
And throughout it all, Han Na Hyun stays by I Rang’s side. Their bond develops in such a natural way in these couple of episodes that even I Rang’s dad notices how important they are to each other, so it doesn’t feel rushed when they finally have the chance to confess their mutual feelings. Admittedly, it would’ve been great to see more of their chemistry, but their funny and charming kiss under the mistletoe is good enough for those who were longing for that bit of romance between them.
It is kind of funny to see a Christmas scene so near the summer in a K-drama, but that’s one of the best things about this show. It follows a story that fits any time and moment, since it speaks mostly about human emotions, relationships, family, grief, and justice; it can appeal to almost everybody. The hints of humor and romance only add to an already solid plot. It feels like it has so much more that it can give; it wouldn’t be crazy to expect another season of Shin I Rang being the best “Phantom Lawyer”!
