Initially, Hannah Hyun's character was firmly rooted in the courtroom genre. Known for her rational and cold demeanor, she was the undisputed number one at the law firm Taebaek. Her sharp skills as an ace and elite lawyer in solving cases explain why she continues to earn the trust of Taebaek's representative, Yang Do-kyung (played by Kim Kyung-nam), even after her resignation.
However, her life takes a comedic turn when she becomes entangled with Shin-Irang (played by Yoo Yeon-seok), a peculiar man who claims to see ghosts. Her antics, such as teasing gangsters with fraudulent documents or getting flustered by Shin-Irang's unintentional mixed signals, reveal her unexpected charm and bring laughter to the audience.
