But then, he starts seeing ghosts who died unjustly.

Reasons To Check Out “Oh My Ghost Clients“
One-of-a-Kind Fantasy Comedy Drama About a Labor Inspector
This drama centers around Chung Kyung Ho’s character, Noh Mu Jin, a man who never expected to become a labor attorney. After losing all his money in cryptocurrency, he hits rock bottom. Hoping to redeem himself and win back his wife, he studies to become a labor inspector — but life doesn’t go according to plan. He can’t find clients until his sister-in-law and her friend, both content creators, offer a questionable but clever idea: visit factories with poor labor practices and “suggest” compensation in exchange for not reporting them to authorities.
Now you might be wondering — where do the ghosts come in? During one of these factory visits, Mu Jin nearly dies in an accident. In that moment, he’s given a choice: live, but help ghosts who were victims of labor exploitation. From then on, every episode introduces a new ghost client and a new case to solve. It’s part comedy, part mystery, and full of heart!
Featuring The Funniest Trio Ever
“Oh My Ghost Clients” gives us one of the funniest trios in recent K-dramas! There’s the unlucky labor attorney Noh Mu Jin, his bold sister-in-law Na Hee Joo (a beauty content creator), and Go Gyeon Woo, another content creator who clearly has a crush on Hee Joo.
This chaotic team brings non-stop laughs. Mu Jin constantly gets bossed around by two people younger than him. Hee Joo delivers serious girl-crush energy, and Gyeon Woo, though a little slow at times, is adorably charming. Together, they make a hilarious yet effective team, pulling off their “blackmail missions” with unexpected teamwork.
And yes, romance is in the air! Hee Joo and Gyeon Woo clearly like each other but keep it unspoken, adding cute romantic tension. Bonus: they look amazing together on screen!
