The viewership rating of 'Oh My Ghost Clients' dropped from 4.1% in the first episode to 3.2% in the second. However, the audience's strong response continues.

First aired on May 30, MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Oh My Ghost Clients' (planned by Kwon Sung-chang, directed by Lim Soon-rye and Lee Han-jun, written by Kim Bo-tong and Yoo Seung-hee, produced by Broccoli Pictures) announced the clever appearance of the 'ghost-seeing labor attorney' as it opened. The drama not only depicted the story of a labor attorney who resolves the grievances of ghosts who died from workplace accidents in a lighthearted yet realistic manner, but it also garnered audience responses in its first week by showcasing the actors' immersive performances and social messages.

In the first and second episodes, labor attorney No Mu-jin (played by Jung Kyung-ho) signs a 'special labor attorney appointment contract' risking his life, leading to his ability to see ghosts. No Mu-jin resolved the grudges of a deceased trainee from a factory accident along with his sister-in-law Na Hee-joo (played by Seol In-ah) and video creator Go Gyeon-woo (played by Cha Hak-yeon). The fresh and witty way of solving cases through encounters with ghosts resonated with viewers. Additionally, theories about the identity of the mysterious young client (played by Tang Jun-sang) have added to the enjoyment of watching.

Following its first broadcast, 'Oh My Ghost Clients' gained attention by ranking first in the 'Top 10 Series in Korea' on the global OTT platform Netflix (June 2, according to the viewing ranking site FlixPatrol). Various communities and social media users reacted with comments like, 'It's a drama that captures fun, emotion, and meaning all at once. Everyone should watch it,' 'Jung Kyung-ho's acting is sensational,' 'The chemistry of the three main actors is great,' 'A drama where you can experience both a cheerful comedy and a warm human story,' and 'I've been waiting for a drama like this.'

Most notably, it gained attention for addressing labor issues that are rarely tackled in dramas in an upbeat and lively manner. Jung Kyung-ho, who previously earned the title of 'professional actor' by portraying doctors and top instructors, adeptly navigated the unfamiliar job of a labor attorney and the concept of seeing ghosts, showcasing his strong capabilities in leading the drama. Meanwhile, Seol In-ah exuded fiery charm with her character, who possesses cunning and decisiveness, while Cha Hak-yeon presented a character filled with quirky charm, exceeding expectations with his comedic performance, garnering praise for his rediscovery. The distinctive character portrayals by the actors played a crucial role in adding to the drama's delight. Moreover, the impressive performances of Park Su-o, who played the intern Min-wook, and Anupam, who portrayed the foreign worker Nimal, further contributed to the positive reviews, resulting in a drama praised for its lack of acting holes.

The emergence of ghost clients and the immediate resolution of issues in the next episodes completed a satisfying narrative without filler. Furthermore, since the stories address social labor issues, viewers were even more drawn into the refreshing resolutions by 'Mu-jins.' Especially, resolving the grievances of the ghosts and helping them achieve peace left a sense of comfort and emotion, creating a unique flavor for 'Oh My Ghost Clients.' Therefore, viewers are increasingly curious about what ghost stories will unfold each week and how 'Mu-jins' will solve problems as anticipation grows for the third episode.

'Oh My Ghost Clients' is set to deliver new fun and emotion by tackling additional labor issues in episodes three and four. The appearance of a ghost client dressed as a nurse and the possessed No Mu-jin is anticipated, raising curiosity about how they will attract viewers.

MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Oh My Ghost Clients' episode three will air on June 6 (Friday) at 9:50 p.m.
