‘Labor Attorney No Mu-jin’ ended on the 28th amid rave reviews for being a drama that had fun, emotion, and even a social message.

The final episode of MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’, which aired on the 28th, foreshadowed that Noh Moo-jin(played by Jung Kyung-ho)would deeply accept the profession of a labor attorney and continue his journey to protect the rights of more workers with Na Hee-joo(played by Seol In-ah)and Go Gyeon-woo(played by Cha Hak-yeon).The final episode recorded 4.2% nationwide and 3.9% in the metropolitan area, and the highest viewership rating soared to 5.6%.(based on Nielsen Korea)

In the final episode, the ‘Mujins’ trio opened their eyes in a building that collapsed due to poor construction.Myung-eum Construction CEO Kim Myung-an(Choi Moo-sung)showed no remorse even when he died in the building he had built poorly.Bodhisattva(Tang Jun-sang)demanded that Kim Myung-an sign a contract in exchange for saving his life.It was to resolve the truth about the industrial accident and compensation.After the accident, National Assembly member Moon Jung-eun(Moon So-ri)also showed a change by proposing a revision to the Serious Disaster Punishment Act from the perspective of a worker rather than a company.

The ghosts of the eight warehouse workers who died in the fire left Mujin in charge of keeping an eye on Kim Myeong-an, said their final goodbyes to their families, and passed away.The ghosts hoped that no more workers would die in such a ridiculous way, and let go of the lump in their hearts.After the last ghosts were saved, ‘Mujins’ started running towards the ‘Labor Law Firm’.Hee-joo was promoted to the head of the external business division of ‘No Mujin Labor Attorney Office’, and Gyeon-woo was promoted to the head of the public relations content division.Hee-joo and Gyeon-woo, who grew while working with Mujin, found their aptitudes and began to dream new dreams.

The real reason Bodhisattva appointed Mujin as the ghosts ‘labor attorney was also revealed.Mujin had an older brother, Noh Woojin(Jin Seon-gyu), who died while working as a construction worker.The reason Mujin quit his job and chose the job of labor attorney out of all the other jobs was because the wounds of losing his brother remained deep in his heart.Mujin finally was able to send his brother off in peace after saying goodbye to his brother.Standing in front of Bodhisattva’s statue, Mujin finally realized who he was and why he had chosen him.Mujin realized his path as “the son of an ordinary worker, a bereaved family member who lost a family member in an industrial accident, and a labor attorney who works for workers.” Bodhisattva said, “The world doesn’t seem to change, but it does.If you think that change is happening a little faster thanks to you, isn’t that worth it?” and looked at Mujin with admiration, saying that he has changed the world of workers and will continue to change it in the future.

In the ending, actor Park Hae-il added strength with a special voice appearance.Mu-jin, who ended the ‘contract for the soul to become Buddha’ with Bodhisattva, turned around and was startled by a mysterious voice calling him, “Excuse me.Mr.No Mu-jin, the labor attorney,” and the drama ended with an open ending.
