Interview with Yoo Yeon Seok, Willing to Consult a Shaman for PHANTOM LAWYER

Kapanlagi.com - PHANTOM LAWYER has become one of the dramas currently attracting attention. The story is about lawyer Shin Irang who can become possessed and gets ghost clients. Yoo Yeon Seok's performance as this unique lawyer has also received praise from fans and viewers.

KapanLagi has just had the opportunity from Rakuten Viki to interview Yoo Yeon Seok about PHANTOM LAWYER and his character Shin Irang. Let's check it out!

1. Your character Irang can be possessed by a ghost. Has that ever disturbed your sleep or imagination after shooting?

Yoo Yeon Seok: In the drama, Shin Irang regains consciousness from possession when splashed with water. For me, I think I can return to myself by focusing on hobbies that I enjoy, things that can really immerse me and help me concentrate.

2. Irang opens a law firm in a rather reckless way. If you were in his position, would you take that risky path too?

Yoo Yeon Seok: It depends on the situation, but when choosing a project, I think I tend to be quite bold; I’m not afraid to take on new genres or delve into characters I haven’t explored before.

3. If in real life a ghost asked for your help, would you help them right away or run away first?

Yoo Yeon Seok: Since I played Shin Irang, it seems like I will first listen to the ghost's story, then try to help if I can.

4. This drama mixes law, the supernatural, and a bit of romance. Which part is the hardest to balance while acting?

Yoo Yeon Seok: Since I play a lawyer who can see and even be possessed by ghosts, I try to find the right balance. I even met a shaman and watched documentaries about possession to better understand the supernatural side.

5. Handling cases related to ghosts must be intense. Is there a scene or case that left the most emotional impact?

Yoo Yeon Seok: Every ghost has its own story, so every case feels memorable. But especially at the end of each episode, when their stories are resolved and they can find peace, that resonates with me the most.

6. If you had to describe Phantom Lawyer in three words, what would they be and why?

Yoo Yeon Seok: Funny, touching, and emotional. On the surface, it seems light and entertaining, but there are actually many moments that relate to life. The drama is warm and makes the audience reflect.

7. What message or feeling do you hope the audience will take away after watching this drama?
