OMG :)
when its good its goodAfter wayching the first episode , you will know this is going to be a fun and solid story! nothing overly dramatic (except for the love story :) ) or deep but a steady peacing and the actors play their role comfortably with a great sense of understanding the charachter.
The story is fairly simple : this is how modern society works ( or always has been) people are looked down based on their money, status, education or job status , its often a decease that you only notice when you experience it yourself. They show it in the right mix of drama and at the same time they also have the proper dose of humor and cheesy love story with OMG In ah doing it again loved her in TW .

Could Have Been Slightly Better!!
This show was neither phenomenal nor mediocre, it slipped into the depths midway somewhere!I was pretty excited about watching a show starring Jung Kyung Ho. He is one of my favorite actors, and I was expecting something more. Sadly, this show doesn’t live upto the expectations. The main cast do their best but I wasn’t actually looking forward to watching the new episodes every week. It was just that I had nothing to watch on Friday and this show simply filled the gaps. While Jung Kyung Ho lends his hand to some ghost worthy antics, Seol In Ah & Cha Hak Yeon bring up the rear. The storytelling isn’t bad, I actually liked how they try their level best to help ghosts who can’t rest at peace because they died unfairly in workplace related accidents. It was also my first time hearing about labor attorney. Not many countries have lawyers or attorneys working in that field. So, the base concept was fairly unique. But the storyline drags a lot in some places and that takes away the novelty of this show!

Oh My Ghost Clients — A Comedy for the Pro K-Drama Fans
If you're a seasoned K-drama viewer tired of the same old romance-driven stories, Oh My Ghost Clients might just be a breath of fresh air. It’s not a revolutionary ghost story—yes, we've seen ghosts asking for help in plenty of dramas—but this one adds an unexpected twist: a labor attorney helping those ghosts with unresolved legal issues. That alone makes it unique.This drama doesn’t cater to those always seeking swoon-worthy moments or action-packed sequences. There's no typical rom-com formula here. Instead, the heart of the show lies in its character-driven humor and light but thoughtful ghost cases.
Jung Kyung Ho once again proves he's one of the most versatile actors in the industry. Fans of Hospital Playlist will love seeing him here. He delivers a perfect balance of comedy, emotional depth, guilt, and growth. Every time he’s on screen, he commands it—and honestly, he’s the highlight of this drama.
Seol In Ah shines bright in this role. While I’ve seen her previous work, she truly stands out here. Her chemistry with other characters, especially the second male lead, is natural and enjoyable. Her joyful and strong presence brings energy to the story.
Cha Hak Yeon gives a lovable, puppy-boy vibe. He may seem overshadowed by the other leads, but he holds his own. Having seen him in *Twinkling Watermelon*, I knew he could deliver, and he didn’t disappoint.
The show is structured with one case every two episodes, and while the beginning feels like it’s heading toward a serious story with humor mixed in, it soon settles into a repetitive rhythm. But that’s not a bad thing if you’re there for the charm, humor, and unique setting. Just don’t expect high-stakes drama or a tightly woven mystery.
Also, despite the title and ghostly premise, there’s no horror here. The ghosts are victims—not here to scare you, just to be heard.
Lastly, the finale is genuinely satisfying and wraps up the story in a heartwarming and fulfilling way. That ending alone earns it extra points from me.
Overall:
This isn’t a drama for beginners. If you’ve watched many K-dramas, you'll appreciate its genre mix and character-driven charm. If you’re in it for romance or high drama, skip it. But if you enjoy light supernatural comedies with a legal twist and no frills, Oh My Ghost Clients will keep you entertained.

There is a rollercoaster in this show. The first four episodes have somewhat too serious, and may lead you into a question "Is there really any comedy?". Then it becomes funnier and more comical. However it turns more serious and emotional again in the last two episodes. The show has different cases every week, which I always like. You may compare this to Taxi Driver, and find it has weaker storyline on some cases since they mix it up with comedy and slight romance. This show has a really good cast. The trio Jung Kyung Ho, Seol In Ah and Cha Hak Yeon deliver their respective character excellently. Additionally Moon So Ri really kills it. Most of the cases in this show highlight the working environment harrassment awareness that you may be able to relate. However the way it's delivered slightly bothering me.Since it contains several different cases each week, it is possible to explore them separately. All of the cases have a good build up and backstory, but the writer repeatedly bottles the resolution phase. The first case about the construction worker, the resolution is somewhat too easy. Earlier, the workers are afraid of losing their job if they help to uncover the case, but then they have sudden change of heart. Second case at the hospital, again the resolution is dull. The guilty doctor regrets his action, but looks like he is able to get away from further punishments. No one even blows up his name to the public. Third case about the university has better resolution, but it annoys me for such a certified attorney thay he doesn't seem to have a good preparation or strategy while confronting with the opposition. They look clueless when the opposition threaten them, when they are taken into custody, which doesn't look like a professional attorney at all. I also think that this show is somewhat beyond tolerable makjang limit. Ability to see a ghost is unrealistic, but it's fine; Being ressurected multiple times is unrealistic, but it's fine, but all the people able to survive the building debris in the last episode (the first collapse, not the fall)? Whoa, that has crossed the limit
After all, it keeps bothering why they never check back each client's aftermath. There must be some impacts there. For example Nimal from the first case is afraid of getting deported if he speaks up. So what happens next? Is he okay? Because if not, then everything they have done is pointless! Mu Jin's wife is a self-absorbed person and really mean, not only to him but also to her sister. I don't understand why everyone is telling him to get back to her.
To me, the comedy in the first 4 episodes is somewhat a bit forced. Everything begins to flow correctly after the third case. It's still a good-to-watch show when you are looking for a laugh, or a show to raise worker's safety awareness.

A Ghostly guide to workplace justice: Why you should watch Oh my ghost clients!
"Oh My Ghost Clients" is a quirky and humorous drama yet deep and relatable drama that follows a labor attorney who, after a near-death experience, makes a deal with a deity. The contract? He must help settle the grudges of ghosts wronged at work, aiding them in moving on.
While the premise isn't entirely new, echoing shows like "Move to Heaven" and "Hotel Del Luna," the writer masterfully crafts a unique experience.
The show excels in its blend of emotion and depth, the engaging dynamics between the trio of characters, and the impeccable comedic timing. The episodic format and pacing further enhance the viewing experience, complemented by outstanding acting.
"It's refreshing to see a series tackle workplace harassment and abuse head-on. While these issues often appear in subplots, this show dedicates itself entirely to them, with each episode, or sometimes every two, focusing on a new case. The premise is compelling: a labor attorney and his team help ghost employees, haunted by unfair treatment or abuse, find justice and closure.
What really sets this show apart is its incorporation of legal elements. They are well-executed, walking you through the legal processes, and the show's use of different articles adds a unique charm. Each story is emotionally impactful, largely due to the relatable characters and their experiences.
If this is propaganda, then count me in!
This actually has potential for a season two..they wrapped it all up nicely but you could tell there is room to work on more cases...and more fun with the trio and the ghost clients so I hope they consider making one.
I hope more people discover this show. It's not a new concept, but it's undeniably worth watching. The engaging storyline, the moments of humor, and the relatability all contribute to its depth. With compelling characters and excellent character development, it's a show that keeps you hooked. The dialogue is well-crafted, adding another layer of quality. Give this show a chance – you won't regret it."

Last ep was too dragged with too much going onI didn’t like the inconsistent ep themes, 2s then 1 then 2.5
I liked the team and their dynamic but no one reached their full potential and they felt a bit flat
I felt the hyung felt a bit ghostly, and till him going home we thought for one second he died that day then when he went home I was like ah he’s already dead
But mom was like when he thought the building fell and he called out for his hyung, it must’ve meant the bro died that night
there are other dramas like awl and doctor detective that addressed the labor laws and tragedies, and those two were more impactful, even devilish judge had better punishments
this lacked in comedy and in deepness, the actors were great and it was wasted potential

A fairly common concept but still good
The formula used feels familiar, centering on a person trying to resolve the issues of those who have passed away. The comedic elements aren’t overdone and strike a good balance. Each story presents a touching and heartfelt issue. However, the way each case is wrapped up tends to feel underwhelming.Was this review helpful to you?
a legal lawyer whose clients are ghosts ?
finished 8.5/10 🌟A drama that I think deserves more recognition.
A lawyer who sees ghosts and gets justice for those betrayed by the korean labor system.
Overall I really liked it, an excellent combination of comedy and drama... I think Kyung-ho is an excellent actor, especially in hilarious comedy.
The role fit him like a glove, and his chemistry with Seol-in-ah and Cha-hak-yeon was a huge 10/10 for me.
I also liked the stories of the different victims that Mujin helped.
I think perhaps a big problem the drama had for me was the excessive cutting of chapters.
I feel that a plot as general and broad as this one deserved its full 16 chapters
The ending was open to personal interpretation, there were things I would have liked that they had more depth like the reconciliation of Mujin and his wife, I felt that scene was super random or the fact that it seems like I will continue seeing ghosts?
But it's a kdrama that you enjoy and I recommend checking it out ✨

Good combination of humour and meaningful messages
'Oh My Ghost Clients' is about Noh Mujin, a labour consultant who, after going through a near-death experience is able to see ghosts. NMJ signs a contract to escape his death and as a result has to help ghosts who died unfairly in industrial accidents to find peace. The plot has a similar vibe to dramas like 'Hotel Del Luna' and 'Tomorrow', just in the context of workers and follows the story of different ghosts as they explore the problems the workers face in their work.The story does a good job educating people about the role of a labour consultant, at the same time bringing up the drastic safety issues in factories which is the reality for so many people. From what I gathered from interviews, South Korea has a large number of industrial deaths due to lax safety precautions, to the extent of two people dying every day. So, this is a nice way to bring awareness to these issues.
Despite the serious issues, this drama does a good job balancing the dark parts with comedy, so the overall tone is light and it's relatively easy to watch and focus on the messages. The characters also have a good chemistry and interesting dynamic, and their interactions are really fun to watch. The characters themselves are well-written and have potential. NMJ like a lot of Jung Kyungho's characters, is not black or white and JKH did a tremendous job in bringing NMJ to life. He is clumsy, a little slow, a bit selfish and generally flawed, like most people but has some redeeming qualities and his growth is an interesting part of the story as he experiences the hardships of his ghost clients.
Overall, if you like tomorrow, this drama is definitely worth a try.

Could have been a pefect show
The themes in this show were really touching, the lead was impecable as well as the second male lead, but the show really dropped the ball with the wife. Like what was that?! Such a self-absorbed, arrogant and selfish woman yet the show was trying so hard to shove down our throaths that she’s the prize. Added zero to the actual story. Absolutley detestable when show gets hijacked for somebody’s delusional agenda without putting in the work. Clowns. Her sister was bearable in the beginning but then they started with the whole fighter crap without any justification and she turned into annoying little brat as well. Either cast a better actress or put more effort into the writing. Otherwise you just get annoying one dimensional bratz. The last victims were also quite annoying during the case. Shame. Could have been a perfect show!Was this review helpful to you?
Very sad and very funny
This is not a light easy show. it's very good, and i liked it a lot, but the silly fun parts will be balanced by the sad parts, so be prepared to cry, possibly a lot. (ESPECIALLY the last few episodes.) it was well acted and the stories were unfortunately believable. there are basically two romance subplots, neither of which are at all surprising.Ridiculously petty complaint: the names Mu Jin and Mi Ju were too close for fast reading, and i confused myself a couple of times. still, i enjoyed it, though it may not be the sort of show you rewatch.
