In the Oh My Ghost Clients episode 1, things took a sharp turn for Jung Kyung-ho’s character. His journey from a regular office worker to a struggling attorney trying to rebuild his life is finally gaining momentum.
The episode aired on the 30th and showed Noh Moo-jin bringing his sister-in-law Na Hee-joo, played by Seol In-ah, into his small labor office. It wasn’t just a family visit. He actually recruited her to help out. She didn’t come quietly either. She had energy & had a plan.
Na Hee-joo told him firmly, “We can’t just sit around doing nothing. Come on, grab your coat. If clients don’t come to us, we’ll go to them.” Without waiting, she dragged him outside. She was ready to help, even if it meant knocking on doors and talking to strangers. That moment set the tone for what could become a new chapter for both of them.
Hee-joo was clearly struggling too. She hadn’t been getting jobs, and worse, she wasn’t getting paid. She even joked—half-serious—that she’d report herself to the Labor Office. Moo-jin didn’t laugh. He just said, “Leave it to me. I’ll handle it.” That line showed just how far he’s come. From someone who lost everything, he was now stepping up to help someone else.
A few scenes earlier, the story showed how Noh Moo-jin ended up in this situation. It wasn’t just bad luck. He had made a huge mistake. He quit his job because a friend, Jeong-min, convinced him that investing was a better path. Jeong-min had dreams of easy money and fast success. He told Moo-jin that salaries would never beat investments. Moo-jin, tempted and hopeful, followed his lead.
How One Wrong Move Changed Everything
That one decision changed his life. Moo-jin left his stable job. He gave up his severance pay. Then, he put his savings into coins and futures. But the market wasn’t kind. He lost it all. No safety net. No backup plan. Things went from bad to worse when Jeong-min passed away, leaving behind a mess of his own.
At Jeong-min’s funeral, a former colleague revealed that Jeong-min had also lost everything. His wife left him, and his finances were ruined. The dream they both chased had fallen apart. That’s when another friend, Cheol-yong, gave Moo-jin some advice that would shift his direction again.
Cheol-yong said, “Become a labor attorney. It’s a real profession. Companies need people like that. There’s no retirement age, and it’s stable.” His brother added, “If you pass, I’ll help you get into HR.” It sounded better than gambling on stocks. Moo-jin was desperate, and he took the suggestion seriously.
Within a year, he passed the labor attorney certification exam. It was a hard road, but he made it. Just when things started looking better, a new problem hit. His brother, who had offered him help, got caught in a workplace scandal. With no one else to support him, Moo-jin had to figure things out on his own again.
Now, with Na Hee-joo at his side, things are starting to feel a little more hopeful. She’s not just helping him build his business. She’s also pushing him to get back on his feet, even if it means doing things the hard way.
The episode shows how quick success can come at a price. It also highlights how work, failure, and family can all tie into one person’s journey. Noh Moo-jin’s path hasn’t been smooth, but it’s real. His story reminds viewers that starting over is hard, but not impossible.
A Fresh Start With Family and Grit
This drama isn’t just about law or office politics. It’s about personal choices. One moment of confidence, a bit of bad advice, and everything can fall apart. But with effort and the right people around, it’s possible to build something new.
Na Hee-joo’s role is more than just support. She brings life back into Moo-jin’s world. Her actions show that sometimes, moving forward means doing the basics—meeting people, making sales, and keeping energy high. And while Moo-jin is still finding his footing, he’s clearly not alone anymore.
Oh My Ghost Clients episode 1 continues to deliver simple but strong messages. You don’t need high drama or fast twists to make a story interesting. Real problems, smart dialogue, and characters with depth do the job well.
