MBC’s ‘Oh My Ghost Clients’ Hits New Ratings High Amid Controversy
Episode 7 of MBC’s Oh My Ghost Clients aired on June 20, capturing 5.6% nationwide ratings. The episode focused on the struggle of job-seeking youth, featuring Heo Yoon-jae (played by Yoo Seon-ho) on the edge of life and death after a workplace tragedy.
The drama’s "Moojinz" team, including Noh Moo-jin (Jung Kyung-ho), Na Hee-joo (Seol In-ah), and Go Kyun-woo (Cha Hak-yeon), delivered a powerful message about job insecurity, resonating with many viewers. The peak moment hit 6.1% during a tense tunnel scene, where Moo-jin told Yoon-jae, “There’s always an end,” amplified by the emotional OST ‘Run.’
Yoon-jae’s job offer had been abruptly revoked, leading him to take a grueling part-time cart-collecting role. Unable to cope with severe dehydration, he collapsed, later diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. The company denied responsibility, stalling requests for CCTV footage.
The incident sparked criticism online. Viewers slammed comments like, “Kids these days are too soft,” while Moojinz pushed back by exposing the brutal working conditions via Kyun-jjang TV. Yoon-jae, feeling hopeless and weighed down by debt, found his will to live waning.
Moo-jin’s encouragement led Yoon-jae to consider a future as a labor attorney. Thanks to the team’s determination, former coworkers rallied to support him, leading to recognition of his workplace injury and securing compensation.
The episode wrapped with a happier note as Yoon-jae promised Moo-jin to celebrate by sharing fried chicken and beer. Plus, romance bloomed between Hee-joo and Kyun-woo!
Episode 8 teases a major warehouse fire, introducing new challenges for Moojinz. Don’t miss it on June 21 at 9:50 p.m. KST on MBC and Netflix!
