In the final episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Oh My Ghost Clients', which aired on the 28th, Roh Moo-jin (played by Jung Kyung-ho) said his last greetings to ghosts and started establishing a 'Roh Moo Corporation' with Na Hee-joo (Seol In-ah) and Ko Gyeon-woo (Cha Hak-yeon). The pleasant and heavy message 'Labour Laborjin' drew the reality of the workers with a warm gaze and was evaluated as capturing both meaningful problem consciousness and emotion. The final episode recorded 4.2% nationwide, 3.9% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and 5.6% in instantaneous viewership based on Nielsen Korea.
In the broadcast on this day, the trio of 'Mousins' woke up from the rubble of the building that had collapsed due to poor construction. To Kim Myung-an (Choi Moo-sung), who has not reflected until the end, Bodhisattva (Tang Joon-sang) demanded the signing of the 「Worker Compensation Agreement」 as a condition for survival, and lawmaker Moon Jeong-eun (Moon So-ri) proposed an amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act, hinting at a change in the political world. The ghosts said goodbye to their families and Mujin finally said goodbye to his brother Roh Woo-jin (Jin Sun-kyu).
The labor force now acknowledges that it is the child of ordinary workers, the bereaved family, and the labor force fighting for the workers, and embarks on a journey to protect workers' rights in earnest. Hee-joo and Gyeon-woo decided to walk together as the head of the external business division and the head of the promotional content division, respectively, 'promotion'.
The actor Park Hae-il's surprise voice appearance, which hinted at an open ending, has gone beyond simple fantasy to remain a 'problem work' dealing with the labor reality essential in this era.
#New Horizons in Labor Fantasy
'Roh Moo-jin' solved labor problems easily, entertainingly, but never light with a fresh setting of a ghost-watching labor worker. It broke through real issues head on with different episodes each time, including industrial accidents for high school students, burning nurses, pressure to fire cleaning workers, youth overwork, and fire at a distribution center. As a result, it received enthusiastic responses from viewers with the realistic but comforting 'K-labor drama'.
#No smoke hole... Jung Kyung-ho → Seol In, the lineup is crazy
Jeong Kyung-ho perfectly digested a cynical but friendly labor attorney, and Seol In-ah and Cha Hak-yeon led the response of 'Rediscovering' between comic and emotional acting. Tang Jun-sang's strange presence and cameo corps such as Jin Sun-kyu, Mun So-ri, and Choi Moo-sung were added to show off the true appearance of each episode 'Acting Restaurant'.
#Heavy shot than cider... A line of sincerity left by ghosts
The stories of ghosts who died unfairly, not just a punishment play, resonated deeply. Seongbul was soon a healing, and reality changed little by little through labor and Mujin. It was 'Labour Labor Department' that proved that dramas for workers can be so warm.
