Oh My Ghost Clients

Fun but could have been great

Foremost, the cast with the three main leads were great. The series jumped off strong with a fantastic blend of comedy and very heartfelt and relatable victim stories. But other reviewers were accurate in how they could have been more thorough with wrapping up each event. This can still be overlooked to a certain degree but I think they tried too hard to continually increase the scope of the stories to a point where it just loses that initial momentum. It went from wanting to pay attention to every dialogue to it being the first time I've dropped a series with only two episodes to go.

It's honestly still worth watching though even for the stories less the last one, because those were mostly done really well and it provides a great insight on the corruption of corporations who avoid labor laws and safety (with more than one tearjerker moments).

Invisible Hands, Visible Scars

In a sea of sensationalized and heavily promoted K-dramas, Oh My Ghost Client remains a hidden gem—overlooked, yet undeniably potent. It tells stories not merely of spirits and spectral mysteries, but of the invisible labor, silent suffering, and unrecognized sacrifices of the proletariat class. Beneath its supernatural premise lies a searing social commentary: the haunting reality that the empires we admire are built not just on innovation or leadership, but on the unrelenting toil of those we seldom acknowledge.

Each episode serves as a quiet elegy for the forgotten—those who serve, support, and sustain systems often rigged against them. The drama masterfully juxtaposes this somber truth with moments of comic relief, allowing the audience to breathe amid the emotional weight. This delicate balance makes the storytelling both digestible and deeply affecting.

The cast, particularly the younger actors, deliver performances brimming with sincerity and nuance. Their portrayals are not only believable but emotionally resonant, anchoring the drama in a raw, human core. However, the final two episodes veer slightly off course, indulging in melodrama that undermines the subtle power the show had built up until then. Even so, the message remains clear and compelling.

Oh My Ghost Client is more than a genre drama—it’s a mirror held up to society, reminding us of the laboring hands behind luxury, and the unheard voices beneath prosperity. Its themes transcend borders, finding relevance not only in Korea but in countless other societies where class disparities persist beneath the glittering surface.

An underrated yet thought-provoking series, it leaves a lasting imprint—ghostly, yes, but also deeply human.

Heartwarming story of heartbreaking realities that keeps building to a perfect finale

I started watching this for Jung Kyung Ho, Tang Jung Sang and Seol In Ah always welcome on my screen, too. I fully expected this to be 7.5-8 material based on the beginning couple eps, but this thing really does worm its way into your heart, and it is sitting at a very cozy 9/10. It is one of the most solid finales I’ve seen a show have in a long time, and it kept building and building with very real issues handled with compassion for victims and fervor and rage to get something done about it. The cameos in it are absolutely FANTASTIC the whole way through. The veteran cast members featured across different cases really did anchor this, their stories more than just plot points, their characters and struggles critical in the growth of the male lead.

I always appreciate when a show can be both entertaining and actually make people spend some of their moments thinking about and hearing stories of people very much around them that they have mostly ignored. It is an important role of media, after all, as bring people’s collective attention to issues is the first step in bringing positive change to society. The cast of this brought their best to show what not-so-famous everyday workers are going through all around us, and they did it beautifully, especially everyone playing low-wage workers throughout the drama.

I also love stories that bring me new kinds of characters in terms of their jobs in particular (for the same reason, I love when shows do a good job showcasing a lesser known disease/disorder and how it impacts those with it and their loved ones). This is a job people rarely think about existing INCLUDING those who need a labor attorney most! Highlighting it can both make people consider a career in it but bring awareness to struggling victims and their families who desperately need representation when fighting corporations’ foul play. Bringing new jobs gives a fresh perspective and, since this one did a solid job of making it very believable, it gave people more than just dancing hormones and neurotransmitters for its short time on screen.

It ended up being heartwarming, the ending even making me tear up a few times, and the bonds between all the people in it are believable and strong. I was frustrated right alongside the main characters, occasionally frustrated AT the characters, too, saddened for the ones being represented and their loved ones, and relieved and at peace when they were. It ended with hope, the final ingredient needed in telling this kind of story.

It won’t necessarily appeal to all. I bought into the lead’s personality (and the last episode was a chef’s kiss rounding him out in full!), and while the comedy wasn’t always perfectly landing (Cha Hak Yeon doesn’t quite win me over here or elsewhere, dunno why, and his character frustrated me many times which I think was intended only half of them🙃), most of the time the experience of Jung Kyung Ho and Seol In Ah’s charisma really did make the humorous scenes in this work very well. The buildup to the very end is truly worth watching attentively, at least to me! Really glad I didn’t sleep on this one. It left me feeling full of warmth… now I just need something cool to not let summer heat make that warmth overwhelming.

Absolutely Fantastic

From the very beginning of this series right through the conclusion, there was never a mis-step in any episode. The trio of protagonists in this drama/comedy were so fantastic together. Each one fitting perfectly with the other two, creating such great chemistry. Kyung Ho was brilliant for this role, showing us his dramatic side blended with comedic tones. In Ah was also great being the strong support for him in a lot of the situations that Mu Jin would get himself involved in. She could be tough, but also shows a soft side of Hui Ju when it was needed.
Without a doubt, though, Hak Yeon playing the part of Gyeon U was genius. He delivers so many funny moments throughout the episodes, his timing and actions are just perfect with his character. Several scenes makes you laugh out loud from his performance. When you blend these three actors together, they cover every aspect of great entertainment in this series.
The many stories Mu Jin would get himself involved with, as well as the people seeking his help, were so well written, some being quite emotional to watch. There were a few episode endings that definitely brings you to tears, episode 2 was definitely one of them.
The final episode gives a great conclusion to a great story. We take with us so many good lessons we learned along the way. As Mu Jin is told in the end "Only when you face your wounds .... instead of avoiding them ..... can you understand how to heal them"

A heart-wenching tale of workplace truths and real-world injustice

I just finished watching Oh My Ghost Clients , and I must say—it was an incredibly moving experience. The story follows a labor attorney who has the unique ability to see ghosts, each one a victim of unresolved issues at their workplace. As he helps them find peace, he also uncovers and confronts toxic behaviors within different work environments.

The way the drama blends supernatural elements with real-world problems was powerful and emotional. It sheds light on issues that often go unnoticed, making you reflect on how people are treated in their jobs. I shed a lot of tears throughout—it’s the kind of story that stays with you.

Overall, Oh My Ghost Clients is a touching, thought-provoking watch that’s definitely worth your time.

seems decent but not that decent

Oh My Ghost starts with a theme that feels “ordinary,” but you can really feel the mix of sadness, joy, and hardship through Noh Mujin’s journey as a lawyer fighting for workers who are denied their rights by the powerful. I liked that even though the story is fictional, it’s still presented in a realistic way. Kim Botong shows his strength as a writer by giving the story a good ending. It’s just a bit sad that there’s no background story for Tang Junsang’s character. Still, this show is enjoyable to watch thanks to the solid performances and fun banter between Jung Kyungho, Seol Inah, and Cha Hakyeon (and finally, Hakyeon gets the girl!). You won’t feel sleepy watching it—maybe just a little during the early episodes.

Don’t Ghost This Series!!!!

As I’ve stated before, I love series with a supernatural vibe. This was a funny and heartwarming series. This is one of those series that gets better with each episode. My advice is don’t give up after the first episode. Although it does a great job grabbing your attention in the first 3 minutes, the rest of the 1st episode was slow. However, the pacing gets better by episode 2. The whole series had the right amount of comedy, drama, and heartfelt moments mixed together. They did a great job tying everything together, but I was not prepared for the twist in the last episode. The cast was great and did an outstanding job. I also like that it had the right amount of supporting/side characters. The CGI, special effects, and cinematography were amazing.

Random Note:

The Cookie scenes were awesome.

Here's my take.
I really like this show. It had a very new and unexplored concept of a labour attorney which i haven't seen in many law dramas. The dynamics with Na hui-joo his sister in-law and her content creator "friend" Ko gyeon-u were very enjoyable aswell.
It had an intriguing story telling where you really got to dive deep into each experience and were shown how different each case was. Nothing was clean cut good or bad. I also wanna highlight the amazing director and camera crew where scenes were really unique, at some points it was realistic and you were walking alongside them and others felt like a fever dream. I think it is partly due to how they ventured with different filming and camera styles which could've been a hit or a miss but I personally thought it was well-executed(very fun to watch the subtle changes in perspectives and angles ) .

As you get introduced to the characters you realise they have depth to them, rather than just being there to help No mu jin they had more of a life outside of the main character , specifically the female characters. They were likeable and nuanced which personally I feel many shows are lacking in and they didn't force them to be too anything either just normal individuals .

Although it's a lighthearted drama on the surface it really does spotlight ongoing issues within current society and really invokes empathy towards those going through that however since it is a comedy drama, when paired with the comical aspect the message was conveyed in a lighter more digestible way. Furthermore the comedy of the show was genius they so well written and smooth, it wasn't just confined to verbal jokes however, the actors really knew what they were doing and their expressions and body language spoke for them.

Even though I liked this show it wasn't something I'd specifically tune on for every week and I was lucky I didn't have to as I watched it after all episodes had been released. Although it was very good concept there wouldnt have been that hook to make me anticipate the next batch . Furthermore I feel like they could've went deeper into some things like hui-joos and gyeon-us' relationship as I feel like they weren't explored as much and we as the audience weren't shown much of their backstory . Also after they become official they still didn't really come off as a couple as their dynamic stayed basically the same.

But for now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as they did they're best with the 10 episodes they had and I hope in season 2 they can Improve on that.

*I would reccomend this drama for people who want a comedy and slice of life drama that doesn't revole heavily on romance and more on the struggle of everyday people around us.

*For now I appreciate the hard work of the cast and crew and sincerely thank you for creating an entertaining and meaningful show. I can't wait for season 2 :).

it's fun and funny

this dramawas so much fun. I laughed so very hard in parts but it still had enough scare factor at the right moments too.
the actors were all brilliant, I love the ML - he is a favourite of mine from previous dramas and he didn't disappoint me in this one either.
the only disappointing factor would be the relationship between the ML and his wife. this could have progressed much better, i feel her character was way too stiff and unrelenting. although had my man lost our $$ Like that he'd definitely have to prove he was willing to change and show he could behave financially. that being said, I feel his character did more than enough to show this throughout the drama.
