Phantom Lawyer 2026 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Rakuten Viki, the global streaming destination for Asian entertainment, has announced the premiere of its latest Korean fantasy-legal drama: *Phantom Lawyer*, starring Yoo Yeon Seok (*Dr. Romantic*) and Esom (*Taxi Driver*).

Following its premiere on March 13, the drama has gained rapid momentum across Southeast Asia, dominating Viki’s regional charts by holding the number one spot since its very first week of release. Among viewers, the series currently boasts a rating of 9.6/10, based on over 700 reviews.

Stars: Yoo Yeon-seok, Esom, Kim Kyung-Nam

In the drama, Yoo Yeon Seok—known for his charismatic roles in *Hospital Playlist* and *When the Phone Rings*—takes on a surprisingly different persona: Shin Yi Rang, a shy and clumsy lawyer who unexpectedly gains the ability to see ghosts after moving into his new office, which previously belonged to a shaman. Upon discovering a mysterious incense stick that grants him the ability to communicate with—and be possessed by—restless spirits seeking justice, Shin Yi Rang finds himself embroiled in chaotic and comical situations.


Working alongside elite attorney Han Na Hyun (played by Esom)—who is initially skeptical of Yi Rang’s supernatural claims—the pair gradually forge a strong alliance as they take on cases linked to the unresolved grievances of wandering souls. Their evolving dynamic becomes a central element of the story as they combine legal strategy with unconventional methods to unearth hidden truths. Each case they tackle reveals veiled perspectives behind crimes, conflicts, and personal struggles, expanding the drama’s scope beyond a traditional courtroom narrative.


The drama has also garnered attention for Yoo Yeon Seok’s on-screen transformation, including scenes in which the actor appears wearing a female *hanbok* and makeup, and dancing to the beats of K-pop girl group songs; This not only highlights the actor's versatility but also the unpredictable nature of the character. In a recent interview with SBS, Yoo shared his excitement for the audience to discover a new facet of his acting through this role, generating great anticipation surrounding Shin Yi Rang's multiple personalities.


Combining legal drama with supernatural mystery, the series explores themes such as redemption, unfinished stories, and the pursuit of justice from unexpected sources. By fusing a character-driven, emotive narrative with suspense-filled investigations, *Phantom Lawyer* offers a fresh perspective on the legal genre, balancing fantasy, drama, and comedy to resonate with audiences across Southeast Asia. Yoo Yeon Seok's comedic transformation and Esom's charismatic presence are already in full swing, with the latest episodes of *Phantom Lawyer* available on Viki for viewers in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, India, and Southeast Asian countries—including Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect.  The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
