There is a new spooky Korean drama in town, and you need to watch it! It has soul, it has comedy, it has intrigue, and a good share of tragedy too! The drama is none other than Oh My Ghost Clients starring Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-na, and Cha Hak-yeon. This drama premiered on May 30 on MBC and is also available on Viu and Netflix for global viewers.
What Is The Plot Of Oh My Ghost Clients?
Oh My Ghost Clients follows No Mu-jin (played by Jung Kyung-ho), a labour attorney who is barely making ends meet. One day, he visited an industrial site with his sister-in-law Na Hui-ju (played by Seol In-ah) and a content creator named Ko Gyeon-u (played by Cha Hak-yeon).
At the site, he meets with an accident and signs a deal with a supernatural being to save himself. After signing the agreement, he begins to notice ghosts of dead labourers who lost their lives due to factory mishaps, unfair wages, and substandard security measures. He begins to solve the grievances of the dead and thus uncovers the harsh reality of the labour work.

The drama also packs a good amount of comedy to balance out the harsh realities depicted in the drama. With six episodes aired so far, the drama has steadily gained a loyal fan following.
In addition to the lead trio, the drama also stars Tang Jung Sang (of Crash Landing on You fame) in a guest role. He was seen in the drama as Bodhisattva, a celestial being who helps Mu-jin. Anupam Tripathi, the Indian actor who shot to fame following his supporting role in Squid Game, was also seen in a minor role in the first two episodes of the drama. Kim Dae-myung, who stars in Hospital Playlist alongside Jung Kyung-ho, also appeared in the drama.
