‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-ah, and Cha Hak-yeon are raising expectations by foreshadowing their powerful chemistry through a script reading.

MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ (planned by Kwon Sung-chang/directed by Im Soon-rye, Lee Han-joon/written by Kim Bo-tong, Yoo Seung-hee/produced by Broccoli Pictures), which will be aired for the first time in May, is a comic fantasy action film that contains the story of a labor attorney who sees ghosts and solves labor problems in a twisted and twisted manner. Director Im Soon-rye, the representative director of Chungmuro who directed the movies ‘The Moment of Our Lives’, ‘Little Forest’, ‘Negotiation’, writer Kim Bo-tong of the OTT drama ‘D.P.’ series and ‘The Wilderness’, and writer Yoo Seung-hee of the movies ‘My Love, My Bride’, ‘I Can Speak’ have joined forces to conquer the small screen.

In the meantime, the script reading site announcing the energetic sortie of ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ has been revealed. The site was attended by the main actors Jung Kyung-ho (as Noh Moo-jin), Seol In-ah (as Na Hee-joo), Cha Hak-yeon (as Go Gyeon-woo), Tang Jun-sang (as Bodhisattva), special appearance Kyung Soo-jin (as Na Mi-joo), director Im Soon-rye, writers Kim Bo-tong and Yoo Seung-hee, and the production crew. The actors, who have already immersed themselves in their characters, have raised expectations by giving passionate performances reminiscent of an actual filming set.

First, Jung Kyung-ho showed off the eventful performance of Noh Moo-jin, a ‘ghost-seeing labor attorney’ who returned from the brink of death. Jung Kyung-ho portrayed Mu-jin, who tries to solve labor issues by crying and eating mustard, with his witty lines and sly side. In particular, Jung Kyung-ho, who became ‘one with Mu-jin, jumped up from his seat and performed a ghost-possessed performance, cheerfully coloring the scene.



Seol In-ah, who plays Na Hee-joo, Noh Moo-jin’s sister-in-law, brought energy to the script reading scene with her bubbly presence. Seol In-ah portrayed the charm of Hee-joo, the brain and assault leader of Noh Moo-jin‘s office, with her signature bright energy and colorful expressions. With his quick execution, Hee-joo’s appearance in control of Mu-jin was displayed with fiery acting, raising expectations for his performance in the drama.

Cha Hak-yeon showed a new side as a video creator who started out as a reporter, Go Kyeon-woo. Cha Hak-yeon naturally showed off the charm of Kyeon-woo with his quirky sense of humor with his natural and witty acting. He also showed a pure side that sympathized with the ghosts‘ stories and got angry, making the audience fall into the drama as a character with maximum empathy. Expectations are rising for the character that will bring out Cha Hak-yeon’s hidden charm.

Above all, the chemistry between Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-ah, and Cha Hak-yeon, who formed the team ‘Mu-jins’, stood out. Mu-jins will travel to various labor sites to solve workers‘ problems. Even though it was their first time working together, the three actors perfected the ‘Mu-jins’ teamwork from the start with fantastic tiki-taka chemistry. In ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’, which consists of colorful episodes of workers, Moo-jin will create chemistry with the main characters of each episode, and is expected to give viewers a thrilling catharsis and touching emotions.

In addition, the actors armed with acting skills and individuality will make ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ even richer. Promising star Tang Jun-sang plays the role of Bo-sal, a suspicious person who signs an unfair contract with Moo-jin using his life as collateral, and focuses attention on his secret identity. Kyung Soo-jin plays Na Mi-joo, Moo-jin’s estranged wife and Hee-joo‘s older sister, and shows a presence that goes beyond a special appearance. In addition, the acting party of the main characters of each episode continues to increase the immersion of the drama, raising expectations about what kind of new story will unfold in each episode.

The production team confirmed the actors’ passionate acting and chemistry at the first script reading site. ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ is a drama that contains refreshing twists and emotions in the sad stories of people living in reality. ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ will meet viewers with its own fun and emotions, so please show lots of interest and anticipation,” he said.
