In "Oh My Ghost Clients," Jung Kyung-ho has points to savor in each episode's near-death endings.

In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Oh My Ghost Clients" (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, written by Kim Bo-tong, Yoo Seung-hee, directed by Im Soon-rye, Lee Han-jun), Jung Kyung-ho is passionately portraying Noh Mujin, a labor attorney who can see ghosts. In the story, Mujin becomes a labor attorney without significant interest in labor issues, but he encounters the unfair stories of ghosts who died in industrial accidents and becomes a changing character. Jung Kyung-ho depicts Mujin's transformation into a more awakened labor attorney in a multi-dimensional way, creating a character that is both realistic and infused with fantasy, embodying a heroic image.

In particular, Mujin's near-death situations as endings have become a distinguishing feature of the drama. It all started in the first episode, where a mysterious young guardian (played by Tang Jun-sang) appears engulfed in flames, and in exchange for saving Mujin's life, he demands that Mujin resolve the grievances of worker spirits and achieve their salvation by signing a 180-day labor contract. Since then, Mujin has continued to face life-threatening situations and has revived after meeting the guardian.

In the first episode's ending, he was almost crushed under rebar at a factory but revived, and in the second episode's ending, he suffered an electric shock from a downed power line. The fourth episode's ending showcased a tense moment where he faced danger in a bus due to drowsy driving. Viewers reacted, saying, "I hope Mujin is safe in every ending" and "a drama where the protagonist has died and revived three times in four episodes," responding to the unique endings of "Oh My Ghost Clients."

Beneath all these crises lies a reflection of the societal reality related to industrial accidents, drawing attention. The accident in the first episode raised awareness as it occurred in a factory where safety regulations were not followed, embodying the saying, "industrial accidents are human errors." The reason for Mujin's electric shock in the second episode also had a backdrop. The guardian pointed out, "It's absurd that the replacement period for old utility poles is 30 years. Thus, utility poles fall, and people get electrocuted… It's been 50 years since I died, yet nothing has changed."

While Mujin's crises are depicted comically, a heavy message lies behind them. "Oh My Ghost Clients," which prompts viewers to reflect on each episode's endings, captivates audiences with its meticulously crafted storytelling. In this regard, the ending of the fourth episode has heightened curiosity about the start of the fifth episode. The fourth episode's ending featured a near-accident involving Mujin almost getting hit by a drowsy-driving bus. What caused this, and why does the guardian appear whenever Mujin is in danger, are aspects to watch for in the fifth episode.

Meanwhile, the fifth episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Oh My Ghost Clients" will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 13th.
