Jung Kyung-Ho Represents The Wrongly Departed In ‘Oh My Ghost Clients'
Agreeing to represent ghosts ensures that Jung Kyung-ho's character will have a lot of clients.
Things are not going well for Mu-jin, the character played by Jung Kyung-ho in Oh My Ghost Clients. In the very first episode of this Korean drama, Mu-jin, quits his job, loses his money, alienates his wife and almost dies. Almost. He's saved at the last minute by an angelic being who needs help sorting out troubled spirits. Mu-jin is a labor lawyer, so he's just the right person to help troubled spirits who die with unresolved issues, especially if those issues pertain to their workplace.
Mu-jin has no choice but to sign on to represent these spirits, even if he never considered working pro bono. Jung (Crash Course In Romance, Hospital Playlist, Resident Playbook) is comical as the ego-centric Mu-jin, a man who rarely considers the needs of others. Although bad things do happen to him, they are often caused by his own careless and impulsive nature. After losing all his money he becomes a labor attorney and opens an office, but it's not the financial success he hoped for. Mu-jin gets some office help from his sister-in-law Hee-joo, played by Seol In-A (Business Proposal, Celebrity, Twinkling Watermelon). Hee-joo may have some helpful ideas but some of her schemes aren't completely legal. However, Mu-jin is desperate to make some money. So, they team up with vlogger Gyeon-woo, played by Cha Hak-yeon (Castaway Diva, Tomorrow, Bad and Crazy) to scam factory bosses who ignore workplace safety measures.
Mu-jin needs to make money but ghostly clients are rarely lucrative. These clients no longer have access to a bank account. Oh My Ghost Clients is paranormal spin on the classic tale of a self-absorbed man forced to confront what's important in life. Mu-jin is egotistical, but he's also amusingly clueless, so perhaps he does deserve another chance. Representing ghosts may be just what he needs to realign his values.
Kyung Soo-jin (Shadow Detective, Mouse, Hush) plays Mu-jin's ex-wife Mi-joo. The drama also stars Jeon Guk-hyang, Choi Hang-il and Yoo Seon-ho. Oh My Ghost Clients is directed by Yim Soon-rye, who directed several films, including The Point Men, Little Forest and The Whistleblower. The screenplay was written by Kim Bo-tong, who wrote D.P. and D.P. 2, and Yoo Seung-hee, who wrote the screenplay for the 2025 film Secret: Untold Melody. In the U.S. the drama airs on
