‘Labor Attorney No Mu-jin’ Jung Kyung-ho is possessed by a ghost nurse.

On the 3rd episode of MBC 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)aired on the 6th, Noh Moo-jin(played by Jung Kyung-ho)met his second ghost client.Moo-jin felt the injustice of the new nurse who died after being falsely accused of medical malpractice through ‘possession’ with his whole body, and it made viewers anticipate how much sincerity Moo-jin will put into this case in the future.

The viewership ratings for the third episode of ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ rose compared to the previous episode, recording 4.3% in the metropolitan area and 3.9% nationwide.The highest viewership ratings reached 7.2%.The scene that decorated the best 1 minute was a cookie video showing Go Gyeon-woo(played by Cha Hak-yeon)buying a talisman to remove the ghost attached to Moo-jin’s body, Na Hee-joo(played by Seol In-ah)praying, and Moo-jin secretly using a prayer bead app.(Based on Nielsen Korea)

The third episode began with Mujin finding out that his life-threatening labor contract was not yet over.Mujin, who was electrocuted by an old electric pole, met Bosal(played by Tang Jun-sang)again in a near-death experience.Moojin belatedly confirmed that the contract period was 6 months + 24-hour work, and protested, saying, “This is an unfair contract and a fraud.” Furthermore, he could not even read the small special conditions written in Chinese characters, and Bosal disappeared again, leaving only questions.

The ghost Jo Eun-young(played by Hwang Bo-reum-byeol)wearing a nurse’s uniform visits Mu-jin, who has come back to life.Mu-jin’s eyes, which have become possessed, have completely changed.Mu-jin shows strange behavior, such as raising his eyelashes and pushing his side hair back like a woman, and with a cold face, he says, “Let’s go to the hospital, to get revenge,” creating a creepy feeling.When he sees the hospital, Mu-jin suddenly has a seizure and is carried to the emergency room on his sister-in-law Hee-joo’s back.

The reason why the possessed Mujin wanted to go to the hospital for revenge was because Eunyoung died there unjustly.Mujin grabbed the doctor Park Hyunwoo(played by Shin Joo-hyeop)who came to examine him by the collar and said, “I just did what you told me to do.Why did you do this to me?” Hyunwoo trembled in fear as he recalled Eunyoung’s dead face in Mujin’s face.Every word of Eunyoung, who was burning with revenge, was conveyed through Mujin’s mouth, and Mujin, who caused a ruckus in the hospital, was eventually kicked out.

Hee-ju and Gyeon-woo took Mu-jin, who was freed from his possession, to an ‘exorcism course’.They met a shaman, a priest, and a monk in succession and asked them to get rid of the ghost, but it was no use.Mu-jin’s worries deepened as he felt uneasy.This was because he only had fragmentary memories of when he was possessed, and he had no idea what had happened to Eun-young.

At that time, Bodhisattva appeared and offered a helping hand.Bodhisattva said, “How can you know how it feels if you haven’t experienced it yourself?” and possessed Mujin again, and Mujin felt Eunyoung’s resentment, pain, anger, and sadness.Eunyoung, a new nurse, had a hard time with the relentless, excessive work and the nagging of senior nurse Lee Seo-jeong(played by Ok Ja-yeon), and ended her life after being falsely accused of medical malpractice.Hyunwoo, a doctor, blamed his mistake on Eunyoung, and senior nurse Seo-jeong covered up the truth, telling Eunyoung not to complicate things.

The moment Eun-young fell from the rooftop, Mu-jin also shared the same emotion and shed tears.Mu-jin, who was falling, opened his eyes and was in Bo-sal’s space.Mu-jin talked back to Bo-sal and asked what he should do, and Bo-sal praised him, saying, “You should figure that out yourself.You’re a labor attorney, right? From what I’ve seen, you seem very well-suited for this job.” When Bo-sal, who had been manipulating Mu-jin, tried to tell him something, the space suddenly shook with a strong vibration.Mu-jin’s frightened appearance decorated the ending of Episode 3, heightening the tension.

Above all, what really increased the immersion of this episode was actor Jung Kyung-ho’s possessed acting.Jung Kyung-ho delicately expressed the changes in Mu-jin after his body was taken over by Eun-young, through his eyes, facial expressions, and voice tones.He added to the fun by acting out even the detailed gestures of brushing his eyelashes and flipping his side hair, while also earnestly expressing the feelings of injustice and desperation of Eun-young, who is suffering from an industrial accident at the hospital, and drawing the viewers ‘immersion.Whether Mu-jin, who has come to deeply understand Eun-young’s pain through possessed acting, will be able to resolve Eun-young’s grudge with Hee-joo and Gyeon-woo, and whether episode 4 will deliver emotions and resonance beyond solving the case, is drawing attention.

MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ episode 4 will air today(the 7th)at 9:50 PM.
