Oh My Ghost Clients

A unique "guided by ghosts" story that showcases worker's rights in a very relatable way

⭐️ Rating: 9/10

Oh My Ghost Clients surprised me in the best way with its unique and refreshing premise. It’s a rare blend of supernatural mystery, workplace drama, and social critique, all wrapped up in an engaging “case-of-the-week” format.

For me, Jung Kyung-ho has always been hit or miss — some of his roles have fallen flat for me, while others have been standouts — and I’m happy to say he delivered a strong, nuanced performance here. He made his character feel grounded and relatable, even in the more fantastical moments.

One thing I particularly appreciated was the show’s focus on its cases. Each episode tackles a new mystery, and every single one kept me invested. The cases are not just “whodunits” — they each reveal something poignant about greed, exploitation, unfair labor practices, and the dignity of the workers who are so often overlooked. The writing doesn’t shy away from showing how companies take advantage of people, but it does so in a way that feels human and not preachy.

There is a secondary couple whose romance turns out to be charming and heartfelt, and while there’s no strong central romance here, it didn’t really detract from my enjoyment because the mystery and social commentary were the real draw.

If you enjoy supernatural shows, mysteries, and series with a slice-of-life look at blue-collar struggles and social justice, this one is absolutely worth your time. I already find myself wanting to rewatch some of the more memorable cases — they’re that well done.

My one gripe is that the shorter episode count left a few threads underdeveloped. This could have easily been a full-length 16-episode series, and I would have gladly watched more. That said, the story as told feels complete.

Spoilers & Critique

One thing that did frustrate me at times was how restrained Jung Kyung-ho’s character was when he could have leaned on the law more. For example, the company forcing workers to come in for unpaid training and testing — clearly illegal — could have been used as leverage to pressure management and recoup some losses for his clients. I understand he was working pro bono at the behest of a deity, but it felt like a missed opportunity to really hammer home the idea of justice. Even a small stipend to keep his office afloat and cover his expenses would have been realistic and added depth to his character’s struggles.

Another weak point was the handling of his relationship with his wife. There just wasn’t enough development to make their reconciliation feel earned. She often came across as cold or unsympathetic, and the show didn’t give us much reason to root for them getting back together. With more episodes, they could have fleshed out her perspective and their shared history, making their reunion more satisfying and believable.

Final Thoughts

Even with those minor flaws, Oh My Ghost Clients is a gem — a smart, emotional, and socially-conscious supernatural mystery that balances its dark themes with heart and humor. I highly recommend it, and I hope more dramas take risks like this one did.

Synopsis

This is 2025 a South Korean legal comedy fantasy and action drama with 10, 70 minute episodes. Also known as Labor Attorney Noh Moo Jin.

Not to be confused with "Oh My Ghost" as I notice a lot of sites twist the two. This is not related to that series. Which is also a very good series. Noh Moo-jin (Jung Kyung-ho) just can't seem to catch a break in life. He quits his nine to five job after buying into an investment strategy. After that spectacularly falls through, his wife separates from him and he is down to his last pennies he takes the advice of a former mentor and uses his legal education as a basis to get a license as a labor lawyer. The mentor who pointed him on the path winds up embroiled in a scandal and the sure prospect of a job goes up in smoke. His sister-in-law Na Hee-joo (Seol In-ah) comes up with a money-making scheme where they go "audit" businesses and determine safety concerns then ask to be paid for identifying the issues without reporting them. During one such venture, Moo-jin has a near death experience and finds himself bargaining for his life. In return for him not dying in the accident the deity strikes a bargain where Moo-jin helps those who were wronged and wound up dying in the labor industry. Seeing ghosts and resolving their grievances by solving and bringing the offenders to justice, transforms Moo-jin into a warrior for labor justice. Go Gyeon-woo (Cha Hak-yeon), who is romantically interested in Hee-joo, utilized his skills as former reporter YouTuber content creator to capture their wild journey and turn it into another revenue stream . "Team Mujins," as they call themselves wind up tackling a variety of cases involving unfair and unsafe labor practices. The three transform into near con men to a legitimate voice for those that would have remained voiceless.

nice drama that will make you cry and laugh

It is a nice watch. I really liked the ghost stories as they were very emotional. It is nice to see how Mi Jin changed working on the cases. Also, the team dynamics is great. I love the trio.

To be honest, Mi Jun and Hui Ju would be better much than his wife. They had great chemistry together. For me, wife's character did not bring everything to the drama, quite the opposite, as the scenes in the last episode just left awkward. I like Gyeon U as he lightened the mood every time you see him.

It is a light drama that will make you cry and laugh, but you will not get stressed out as the good guys always win.

A meaningful, warm, fun and sad story about Service to Humanity, purpose of life, and karma

The official posted summary of this kdrama does not describe it properly imo... you will have to watch 2 episodes at least to understand what it is about.

The story addresses sad and gruesome problems from daily life of poor people, laborers and migrant workers, who work for greedy sharks..... The ML helps remedy it, and in that, he provides Service to humanity and redeems himself, bc ... he didnt start out as a nice enlightened guy :)
But he did NOT start as a money driven guy... He wanted to be happy. He was really bad with money and too nice. He was a clutz. A passive loser. An uninformed, lazy seeker, but still, a seeker. A lost person.... who then stumbled upon the path he was looking for, a meaningful life that made him deeply satisfied. It just so happens that his path does not look very glorious or luxurious so at first he overlooked it and did not fully utilize it - some can say he was a scammer, but his blackmailing safety inspections did manage to save some people here and there - UNTIL the Divine showed him the right way to be useful.

The story talks about very deep social and labor problems, and a person who redeems himself by solving these issues.
The drama shows the issues in a down to earth way, from different angles and with a little bit of black comedy humor when appropriate, which often turns into tragedy and might make you cry,
and also the story contains extreme warmth and meaning.
And real solutions.
It is an enjoyable and engaging watch, and very super realistic.

So far, no scary ghosts, only "nice ones" who came for help.
The story is NOT a ghost story... ghosts are there just to introduce certain problems that we otherwise would not know about.

So do NOT expect to be seeing too much of ghosts :)
And do expect to see solving real-life problems of laborers, migrant workers and poor people in general, working under dangerous inhumane conditions. The person who solves these problems redeems his useless wasted life by being helpful to the wronged people. It is just that the wronged people are dead already :) but our ML also helps their still-alive families and friends and issues.

The story of this kdrama is the same old story of a lost person who is not living what he is supposed to be living and he knows it..... but he tries to solve it in wrong ways..... and he keeps going down.... and then he hits rock bottom .... and then he stumbles upon the right way.

The right way is ALWAYS about doing some kind of Service to "higher principles". He does well.... And it is often the case, falls again.... he tries to escape his service bc it is uncomfortable. Luckily he is given another chance and pulled back in.

The service is uncomfortable because it involves a heart wrenching tour of the world of laborers and migrants working in poor conditions, and related people, all suffering. It is also deeply warm and meaningful as many people come together to make it better.

The only thing that I found off is the look of the ML actor, he is so super skinny :) Very different than beautiful athletic bodies of other MLs. I guess this one must be some kind of fashion model? Well ... it wouldnt hurt to get some more meat on him :)
Just half kidding. He does an ok job acting this role and that is all that matters. In fact, he is very very convincing in his role, there is no actor, just the character, and he is MEMORABLE. Something about his acting is so genuine and natural that he is memorable. His character starts as rather ... lost and slimey LOL and ends as a helping hand hero who saves lives (and deaths LOL)

The two side characters (content creators and scammers ) are interesting.

The idea of working for ghosts to help them ascend is also a very interesting idea that keeps popping up in so many kdramas, I suppose bc it is ... realistic :) Seems that that IS a huge issue, lots of ppl who get stuck down here and need to LEAVE asap. So helping them LEAVE is something we alive must do or else.. they haunt us LOL like in Haunted Palace.... From what I understand, planting comfrey helps with that.

This kdrama is NOT a horror story and does not mention revengeful or scary spirits like Haunted Palace but talks only about those who were unjustly wronged and are "malevolent and nice"

So this kdrama is a little too rosey unrealistic, and Haunted Palace is a little too scary, both address extremes, but there is much in the middle too...

But in this kdrama, the ghosts are not the main topic of discussion, but the ISSUES they bring to be solved, and the issues involve work, education, life and family environments of many people.

The issues are very deep deep deep relevant and meaningful issues..

And the drama is filmed ok and moves ok and it is fun to watch.

I am not sure why "rewatch value" is one of the things we have to rate on... imo it is enough to see this drama once to learn all that you need to know.
Very very very few dramas are worth a rewatch, imo :) So dont mind me on that issue :)

o que você pode fazer para mudar o mundo?

oh my ghost clients contempla temas complexos, como as leis trabalhista e a corrupção por trás de grandes empresas e políticos, de uma forma humorada.

Um homem que não via a dor do próximo é forçado a cultivar simpatia e tentar trazer justiça para aqueles que nunca tiveram voz. Ele acaba envolvido em conflitos que são resolvidos de forma prática e rápida mas sempre com a mesma mensagem.

Se quiser um drama para rir e pensar nos problemas do mundo, esse é o que você procura.

A conclusão me emocionou e fechou o k-drama com chave de ouro.

É preciso encarar a ferida de frente pra poder curá-la.

Que drama incrível e sensível. Apesar de ser uma comédia, traz muitas críticas ao sistema e às leis trabalhistas. Vivemos em um mundo onde o lucro é sempre visado, e onde a dor do outro nunca é considerada ( ainda mais quando se trata de trabalho).
A forma como tudo é retratado e as lições a cada episódio mexeram muito comigo. Acho que chorei em quase todos os episódios, pois a parte rica e bem-sucedida não enxerga a minoria, que é a verdadeira dona de toda a riqueza, já que tudo é ela quem produz. E o plot do protagonista ter passado pela mesma situação com a família me fez chorar demais, porque às vezes passamos por situações semelhantes e simplesmente ignoramos, achando mais conveniente assim. Mas aquela frase dita no início da resenha e dita no drama, faz sentido do começo ao fim: precisamos enfrentar nossas dores e lutas para que possamos transformá-las e curá-las. É necessário abrir a ferida para que ela cicatrize sem inflamações ou dores prolongadas. É engraçado, sim!!! Mas me fez mais chorar do que rir, porque são situações do nosso cotidiano. Muita gente não é valorizada no meio profissional e acaba perdendo a chance de viver, enquanto outros vivem às custas desse sofrimento.

Vale muito a pena assistir. Eu gostei demais.

✨ UM DOS MELHORES DORAMAS DE 2025 – SEM DÚVIDAS! ✨

Essa história me trouxe algo que eu ainda não tinha visto em nenhum outro: a luta real de pessoas que trabalham sem direitos, ou com falsos direitos. É profundo, tocante e necessário.

Confesso que chorei em todos os casos 😭, mas o do jovem sugado pela máquina foi o que mais me marcou. E o último caso… dos trabalhadores que morreram queimados... simplesmente 💔

O trio principal é perfeito!
• No Mo-jin tem uma cara de maluco que combina perfeitamente com o personagem — pegaram a pessoa certa!
•Hui-jo é uma diva! Eu sou fã assumida dela e mais uma vez ela ARRASOU. A personalidade forte e decidida dela conquistou meu coração!
• E o Gyeon-u? Eu não esperava muito dele, mas fui surpreendida de forma positiva.

O elenco inteiro foi um acerto, as atuações foram impecáveis e a mensagem social é necessária e urgente. Me lembrou muito o dorama "Amanhã", pela forma como trata temas sensíveis com tanto cuidado e força.

APENAS ASSISTAM! Um dorama que toca, que grita e que vai ficar marcado no coração. 🌟

Emocionante e engraçado na medida certa

Esse drama merecia mais sucesso, ele tem o equilíbrio certo entre a emoção de um drama e a comicidade, além da história que é construída, pra mim quando assisto dramas que falam sobre temas assim, corrupção e etc conversa muito com os assuntos da própria Coreia, a gente sabe o que acontece lá principalmente no meio do trabalho e apesar de ser um país bem desenvolvido ele tem muitas falhas e peca bastante.
Eu amo o kyung ho e mais uma vez ele de um show de atuação, essa ligação com a família dele pra escolha dele ser quem iria ajudar os fantasmas muito linda e o irmão dele, nossa. Emocionante! Um drama muito apreciado por mim.

Des fantômes, des ouvriers et une étrange leçon d’humanité...

Franchement je m’attendais à un petit drama sympa sans prise de tête, mais j’ai été surprise. C’est fun, décalé, engagé, et ça se regarde avec plaisir du début à la fin. Le spitch est complètement fou, on va pas se mentir 😅, un avocat blasé, un accident, et voilà qu’il se retrouve à voir des fantômes d’ouvriers morts sur leur lieu de travail. J’me suis dit "C’est quoi ce délire encore ?" 😂 Mais étonnamment, ça fonctionne super bien.

J’ai aimé que chaque épisode apporte une histoire différente, une injustice, une âme oubliée... Et derrière le surnaturel, c’est tout le système du monde du travail qui est pointé du doigt, l’exploitation, les contrats abusifs, la hiérarchie déshumanisante... C’est jamais trop lourd, mais ça tape juste, et ça reste 👌🏻

Le trio est vraiment attachant 🫶🏻. Jung Kyung-ho fait le taf avec son côté un peu paumé mais attendrissant, et à ses côtés Na Hui-ju (gros coup de cœur 🥰) apporte la rage, l’intelligence, la réactivité. Elle est brillante, drôle, et elle gère tout dans l’ombre 🫰🏻. Cha Hak-yeon, lui, amène un côtés plus humain, il est un peu perché, mais touchant dans sa manière de regarder les choses et d’interagir avec les fantômes.

Ce qui fait la force du drama, c’est son équilibre 👍🏻. On rit, on est ému, ça interroge... C’est pas révolutionnaire, mais c’est bien mené, c'est original. Les cas sont parfois tristes, parfois absurdes, mais y’a toujours un petit quelque chose qui reste 🥹

Est-ce que c’est le drama de l’année ?!? Non... mais j’ai quand même passé un super moment avec ces clients fantômes ✨👻✌🏻
