Following a series of poor decisions involving quitting his job, dumping his severance pay into cryptocurrency and then becoming a labour attorney in the belief it would lead to easy paychecks, No Mu-jin (Jung Kyung-ho) comes face-to-face with death due to an industrial accident while trying to scam a steelworks factory.
Bo-sal presents Mu-jin with an employment contract that would not only grant him life, but also the ability to see the ghosts of those who perished due to labour infractions. In order to stave off death, Mu-jin would need to help these ghosts to solve their labour-related problems so that they can move on.
Balancing laughs with labour woesAt 10 episodes long, Oh My Ghost Clients feels very short and too long – the series is at its strongest when directly tackling its rather weighty themes involving labour rights and laws, while it becomes weak whenever either the comedy outstays its welcome or the supernatural aspect strays too much from what is considered acceptable suspension of disbelief.
More importantly, the comedy never eclipses the heart of Oh My Ghost Clients, which is the plight of the working class.
Oh My Ghost Clients writers Kim Bo-tong and Yoo Seung-hee do a bang-up job in highlighting the main problems faced by labourers in different industries, from medical to hard labour.
These “ghosts”, the human characters, the actors playing them, the setting, the culture and the individual stories may be Korean in nature, but the problems they face are universal. Viewers are bound to face or have experienced one or more of what Oh My Ghost Clients episodes depict.
Oh My Ghost Clients is streaming on Netflix.
