Oh My Ghost Clients

“Oh My Ghost Clients” (Korean: “노무사 노무진”), also known as “Labor Attorney Noh Mu-jin”, is a 2025 South Korean fantasy-action comedy–legal drama that aired on MBC from May 30 to June 28, 2025, with episodes on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:50.

Plot Synopsis

Noh Mu‑jin (Jung Kyung‑ho) is a down-and-out labor lawyer scraping by until a near-fatal factory accident forces him into a supernatural bargain with a Bodhisattva. The deal grants him the ability to see ghosts – each a victim of workplace injustice – who now seek his legal help to settle their unresolved labor disputes.

Each episode features a different ghostly case – from trainee factory workers to overworked nurses – and Mu‑jin's transformation from self-serving survivalist to socially conscious advocate.
