MBC’s “Oh My Ghost Clients”, lets you know just what happens when a cynical labor lawyer gets haunted by ghosts demanding justice. This show promises to serve up a wild cocktail of supernatural chaos combined with workplace drama, making it the perfect binge for anyone who loves their shows a bit wacky with a side of social commentary that always leads to justice.
Legal Battles Meet Ghostly Grudges
Noh Mu Jin (Jung Kyung Ho) is a barely-scraping-by, down-on-his-luck lawyer who spends his days helping corporations cover up workplace safety violations and his nights worrying about paying the rent. But his circumstances suddenly change when a near-fatal accident leaves him with an unwanted superpower – the ability to see ghosts!
Somehow, he gets forced into a contract with a mystical being to resolve the grievances of spirits who died due to workplace injustices, and with relentless determination, he begins to resolve the lingering regrets of the dead. But can he truly speak for the dead and change the world? Think “Hotel del Luna” or “Master’s Sun”, but with lawyers and industrial safety laws.
The Ghost Team
- Noh Mu Jin (Jung Kyung Ho): a barely-making-it-on-a-good-day lawyer who’s all about survival—until ghosts drag him into their personal afterlife problems. I am excited to see him evolve from a money-hungry cynic to a champion for the dead.
- Na Hee Joo (Seol In Ah): the unemployed brains behind their ragtag team, and also Mu Jin’s fiery sister-in-law, who uses her sharp wit and street-smart skills to strong-arm corporations into accountability.
- Go Gyeon Woo (Cha Hak Yeon): A journalist turned content creator whose quest for clicks sometimes collides with the team’s mission at hand. But he has heart and a hunger for likes, so you’ll love him anyway.
Why You Should Watch
1. Ghosts with Grievances
There might be jump scares, but these spirits are really here to unpack systemic failures that lead to unlawful deaths. Each episode plans to tackle real-world labor issues through clients with stories that blend dark humor with clear critiques of corporate greed, which is enough to make you root for justice both in this life and the next.
2. A Team That Functions on Chaos Chemistry
The “Mujin” team is the heart of the show. Though sometimes you might wonder just how they stay functioning. Mu Jin’s grumpy pragmatism clashes with Hee Joo’s relentless idealism, while Gyeon Woo’s unpredictable antics keep things popping.
3. You Might Be Possessed By Laughter (I couldn’t resist)
From Mu Jin getting body-snatched to Gyeon Woo’s ghost-reporting clickbait, the comedy is sharp, but it’s the quieter moments that’ll sneak up and tug your tears right out.
4. A Director and Writer Dream Team to Watch
Director Yim Soon Rye (“Little Forest”) and writer Kim Bo Tong (“Bel Ami”), are the team tasked with balancing slapstick humor with biting social critique, and if you look at their previous projects, they look like the perfect pair to make that happen.
5. The Perfect Blend of Escapism and Reality
Want to unwind after a long day? This show delivers ghostly shenanigans and workplace takedowns without sacrificing depth. Plus, Jung Kyung Ho’s transformation from selfish lawyer to spectral savior is a masterclass in character growth.
