Only Jung Kyung-ho begins to see ghosts.

MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ (directed by Im Soon-rye, Lee Han-joon, written by Kim Bo-tong, Yoo Seung-hee), which first aired on the 30th, opened with an exciting story starting with the story of labor attorney Noh Moo-jin(played by Jung Kyung-ho)who saved the lives of ghosts on the condition of making them holy.

In the previous episode, Moo-jin, who had nothing going right, opened a labor office.Moo-jin, who was shedding tears over his overdue rent, fell for the tricks of his sister-in-law Na Hee-joo(played by Seol In-ah)and video creator Go Kyeon-woo(played by Cha Hak-yeon)and went to illegal factories to earn money, but had an unexpected accident.At a crossroads of life and death, he signed a ‘labor contract’ without even reading the contract properly, under the condition that his life would be spared, and the appearance of Moo-jin’s resurrection decorated the ending of episode 1.


Meanwhile, the second still cut of ‘Labor Attorney Noh Mu-jin’ released by the production team shows the situation where strange things start to happen to Mu-jin who came back from the dead.Mu-jin has a look of bewilderment at the sudden appearance of a ghost.Mu-jin even tries to make eye contact with the ghost while looking very scared, drawing attention.

In the still cut that follows, Mu-jin gets slapped so hard that his cheeks get cold, causing laughter.When Gyeon-woo sees Mu-jin as if he is possessed by a ghost, he prescribes a remedy to bring him back to his senses.Hee-joo is filming the scene, and it makes us curious to see what kind of surprising scenes are recorded in the footage.Moo-jin’s expression, full of resentment, also raises expectations about what kind of humorous acting Jung Kyung-ho will deliver.

In episode 2 of ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’, Moo-jin receives his first ghost client and the plot unfolds in earnest.The first ghost client to visit Moo-jin is Lee Min-wook(played by Park Soo-oh), a high school student who died in an accident while doing field training at an illegal factory.Min-wook’s sad face, as if he has something to say to Moo-jin, makes us curious about his story.
