IU, Byun Woo Seok Hit Double-Digit Ratings

SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin & Law Firm' is receiving love from viewers with its unique premise of a lawyer who handles ghosts and its heartwarming episodes. In particular, actor Yoo Yeon-seok is showcasing a wide acting spectrum by embodying the souls of the deceased in each episode.

In the previous broadcast, Yoo Yeon-seok perfectly recreated the voice and gait of Kang Dong-sik, a deceased person with dementia, and then transformed into Yoon Si-ho, an 8-year-old ghost, performing a dance to the tune of 'Hatchu-ping'. Yoo Yeon-seok's passionate performance, spanning extreme age ranges from the elderly to children, heightened the drama's immersion by warmly conveying the unresolved 'han' (deep-seated resentment) of the deceased and the sincerity towards those left behind. Viewers are showing enthusiastic support for his acting, with comments such as, "The transition from playing an elderly person to suddenly embodying a child is chilling," and "It's like Yoo Yeon-seok is riding a shaman's sword while acting."

The 13th episode, airing this week, is expected to continue Shin Yi-rang's (Yoo Yeon-seok) new challenge, following the shocking cliffhanger where he was shot while trying to save a missing child, became a ghost himself, and watched his own body. Viewers' curiosity is at its peak regarding the fate of Shin Yi-rang, who has gone from a lawyer who sees ghosts to a ghost himself, and the new acting he will display.

The production team stated, "Actor Yoo Yeon-seok's meticulous character analysis and concentration are transforming the fantastical premise into realistic immersion," and added, "We ask for your great anticipation for Shin Yi-rang's struggle and growth as he faces the unprecedented situation of soul separation." 'Shin & Law Firm' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
