Jung Kyung Ho Sees Ghosts and Justice in MBC’s Comic Fantasy Drama “Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin” – kdramadiary
Jung Kyung Ho is back—and this time, he’s bringing ghosts with him!
MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin has confirmed its premiere date for May 30 at 9:50 PM KST, unveiling a quirky and intriguing poster to set the tone for what promises to be a wild ride through labor disputes and the supernatural.
The series, helmed by acclaimed director Im Soon-rye (Little Forest, The Point Men) alongside co-director Lee Han-joon, is a comic fantasy action drama that follows Noh Moo-jin, a money-driven labor attorney who suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts after being struck by lightning. What follows is a chaotic yet heartfelt journey as he begins solving workplace injustices—on behalf of the dead.
Jung Kyung-ho, often dubbed a “trustworthy actor” for his consistently compelling roles, takes on yet another dramatic shift in character following his previous turns as a doctor and lecturer. This time, he plays a cynical, rent-hustling attorney who finds himself tangled up in the unlikeliest of cases from the afterlife—fighting for labor rights while haunted (literally) by his new supernatural clients.
The show penned by D.P. and Badland Hunter writer Kim Bo-tong, alongside Yoo Seung-hee of My Love, My Bride and I Can Speak, promises a sharp blend of humor, emotion, and social commentary.
The newly released “lightning bolt” poster adds to the buzz, featuring Jung Kyung-ho’s bewildered face surrounded by ghosts, paired with the intriguing tagline:
“180-day labor contract period—with life as collateral.”
It’s a striking hint at the ticking clock our reluctant hero faces in order to save his own skin—and possibly his soul.
Fans are already anticipating Jung’s signature charm and versatility as he navigates this surreal tale. With a premise that fuses sharp labor politics, comedic fantasy, and ghostly chaos, Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin might just be the most electrifying drama of the season.
