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.Was this review helpful to you?
I wish they make a second season, very well done
The show does an amazing job of telling a meaningful story, balanced with good humor so the stories don't overwhelm you and a cast that brings each story to life.Watch if you are looking for a light but touching story, with some good humor, a decent amount of labour law, so corrupt ceos and politicians, with a satisfying ending and good acting. Episode 10 had me crying but in a good way. Worth mentioning ML's character development was done very well.
It really is a good show although its not a new concept it was done well and a good watch.

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.

A unique "guided by ghosts" story that showcases worker's rights in a very relatable way
⭐️ Rating: 9/10Oh 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.

Fun yet showcases the harsh realties faced by S.Koreans
This show is pretty good, the actimg, and the story of the ghosts who had to go through so much while trying earn for a basic life. Its saddening and at times disheartening to see how capitalism sucks for the common people. How unfair it feels to not find justice while being alive.I decided to comment coz I didnt want to forget that on the 7th episode when the lawyer goes on a car ride with the soul. The soul then wears the seat belt, which made me laugh so much. I mean how did the director and the editing team miss out on this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Spooky, Sweet & Supernatural Fun – 'Oh My Ghost Clients' Delivers!" ???
👻 The Plot in a NutshellJung Kyung‑ho plays Noh Mu‑jin, a down‑and‑out labor attorney who suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts after a near‑fatal accident. These aren’t your average ghosts — they’re disgruntled workers seeking justice for unfair deaths at workplaces. His new “clients” drag him into supernatural court battles to right corporate wrongs.
😆 What Makes It Fun
Supernatural law meets comedy: Picture “Hotel del Luna” meets “Suits” — Mu‑jin wrangling bureaucratic bosses by channeling ghostly grievances .
Chaotic trio: Mu‑jin’s grumpy pragmatism contrasts hilariously with Seol In‑ah’s fiery sister‑in‑law brains and Cha Hak‑yeon’s quirky creator sidekick . Their arguments are mess-up-your-popcorn funny, yet their bond grows surprisingly heartwarming.
Sharp social twist: Each ghost’s backstory dives into real-world labor issues — illegal factories, stolen wages, harsh medical environments. It’s funny, spooky, and stirring.
🌟 Standout Moments
One‑off cases carry emotional weight—like the janitor studying while on the job, or a nurse blamed for a tragedy .
Moonlighting content creation: The third musketeer, Go Gyeon‑woo, outfits each ghost story for his vlog — it’s charmingly self‑aware and adds a fun behind‑the‑scenes twist
🤹 Why You Should Watch
Laughs & feely feels: From comedic body‑snatching chaos to quiet tear‑jerker reveals — it balances both sides effortlessly.
Fresh detective vibe: Each episode is like a mini mystery. You’ll want to see how Mu‑jin unravels each ghost’s grievance.
Great cast chemistry: Jung Kyung‑ho’s reluctant hero vibe, Seol In‑ah’s fire, Cha Hak‑yeon’s charm — there’s genuine warmth and fun banter.
In short, Oh My Ghost Clients is a breezy, feel‑good supernatural‑legal romp. If you’re up for a mix of workplace justice, living‑dead clients, and a kooky squad solving ghost mysteries, this is your jam! 🎉

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 :)
