In 'Oh My Ghost Clients,' a tense atmosphere intensifies as a massive industrial accident occurs, fueled by the anger of worker ghosts.
In the 8th episode aired on the 21st, the story shows Oh My Ghost Clients (played by Jung Kyung-ho), Na Hee-joo (played by Seol In-ah), and Go Gyeon-woo (played by Cha Hak-yeon) receiving the highest number of ghost clients since the opening of the 'Oh My Ghost Clients' law office. The narrative, which was driven by a major fire incident, hinted at a clash with an even larger hidden villain, strongly engaging viewers.
In the 8th episode, Mu-jin encountered ghost workers who had perished in a fire at a logistics warehouse. The fire at Buguk Warehouse, which claimed the lives of 8 people, was an incident that could have been prevented. The lack of functioning fire alarms and the company's policy prohibiting mobile phone entry delayed immediate reporting, while old fire extinguishers and inoperable emergency doors exacerbated the damage. The manager, CEO Choi (played by Lim Cheol-hyung), fled in fear of responsibility. The repeated occurrence of such incidents evoked bitterness. Moreover, despite the establishment of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, there have been only a handful of actual cases resulting in punishment.
The ghosts, perhaps due to their deep-seated resentment, returned without leaving Mu-jin's side, and he was perplexed by the ghostly role he was being forced into. The ghosts expressed their anxiety, saying, "Just being a lawyer doesn't mean there's a magic solution," and "What's the point of punishment only after someone has to die in an incident?" They disturbed Mu-jin's sleep, lingering around him.
As they investigated, the 'Mu-jin Team' discovered that there was a greater force behind the incident. The true owner of Buguk Warehouse was Myung-eum Construction, and its CEO, Kim Myung-an (played by Choi Moo-sung), was a person who would not hesitate to frame CEO Choi for the blame. The 'Mu-jin Team' felt a risk on a level that was different from previous cases. Furthermore, Myung-eum Construction swiftly attempted to reach a settlement with the bereaved families, putting the entire case at risk of becoming muddled. If the real responsible party, Myung-eum Construction, was not punished, it was clear that they would simply change the company name, appoint a new figurehead, and the same incident would occur again.
At this point, the key figure of the incident, the fleeing CEO Choi, contacted the 'Mu-jin Team' after watching 'Gyeonjang TV.' Despite the concerns of Hee-joo and Gyeon-woo, Mu-jin went alone to meet CEO Choi. The ghosts, under a misunderstanding, shouted, "Are you going to join hands with the CEO who killed us?" and attempted to possess Mu-jin to seek revenge. As CEO Choi appeared, the ghosts' resentment and anger intensified. The ghosts charged at CEO Choi in a rage, causing strange phenomena where the ground cracked and shook due to their anger gauge. Mu-jin demanded a heartfelt apology from CEO Choi to the deceased workers, temporarily calming their rage.
In the midst of this, thugs appeared at the meeting place between Mu-jin and CEO Choi, raising the tension. CEO Choi informed Mu-jin of a location that contained evidence proving that Myung-eum Construction was the true owner of Buguk Warehouse and then fled. Following suit, Mu-jin found himself being chased by thugs. The 8th episode concluded with Mu-jin shouting, "Why are you following me!" in a "panic ending," drawing attention to whether Mu-jin would be safe. The following cookie scene depicted a monk (played by Tang Jun-sang) training the 8 worker ghosts, stating, "The power of anger will be important in the future," sparking curiosity about his plan.
With only two episodes left until the final, the struggles of the 'Mu-jin Team' to resolve an even more scaled-up industrial accident have been foreshadowed. To prevent any further repeated incidents and save more people, the 'Mu-jin Team' is expected to act more fiercely than ever. Additionally, actress Moon So-ri is set to make a special appearance as the influential parliamentarian Moon Jeong-eun, adding greater anticipation for the synergy with Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-ah, and Cha Hak-yeon in the 'Mu-jin Team.' Moreover, the long-awaited reason why the monk chose Mu-jin and entered into a "spirits' liberation contract" is set to be revealed, drawing considerable interest.
'Oh My Ghost Clients' episode 9 will air on Friday, the 27th at 9:50 p.m.
