Starring Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom, the drama has clearly found a deep connection with viewers who want something more than a conventional courtroom procedural.

Heading into the second half with this kind of momentum? The finale is going to be appointment viewing.

*Phantom Lawyer* is leading the pack, but the rest of the weekly lineup is worth your attention too.
