The male lead being a lawyer is irrelevant to the story. The way he helps ghosts could also be done even if he weren’t a lawyer, which is ironic given the title. They should have added more courtroom scenes to make it more accurate to the title. The only episodes where he’s actually a real “phantom lawyer” are episodes 1 and 2, because that’s when he defended the ghost in court.
While I love them, I still think they fall for each other too quickly. They should have at least bickered until at least 5 episodes. It doesn’t live up to the title Enemies with Benefits, it’s more like Friends with Benefits.
The trope is literally about transmigration but I have to agree your idea sounds way better, and it can be a plot…
I know it's a transmigration story, but I'm worried about what happens to the original soul. Will she be lost forever? Kang Dan-sim's original body is already dead, so she can't return to it. That's why I think it'd be a good twist if Shin Seori turns out to be Kang Dan-sim's reincarnation.
My theory is that she’s actually still Shin Seori, she just regained memories of her past life. It’s strange how the other Joseon character got reincarnated, but she ends up possessing other people’s bodies instead.

the story doesn't suit with the title. Although I love them, they got close too fast.
