The premiere of Oh My Ghost Clients kicks off with an action-packed opener that blends workplace drama, personal downfall, and a ghostly twist. This Oh My Ghost Clients Episode 1 recap delves into the chaotic chain of events that push labor lawyer Mu-jin into a bizarre deal with the supernatural.

A Factory Visit Turns Fatal

Mu-jin, a recently certified labor attorney, visits a factory where he immediately clashes with management over unsafe working conditions. Amid the confrontation, a crane unexpectedly collapses, sending a pile of heavy metals crashing toward him. In a moment of eerie calm, Mu-jin looks up and seems to accept his fate—just before we flash back two years to uncover how he ended up in this situation.

From Crypto Dreams to Rock Bottom

Two years prior, Mu-jin was a ten-year employee at a law firm. Without warning, he quits his stable job to invest in a crypto business with a friend. Tragedy strikes when his friend dies, leaving Mu-jin broke and aimless. His personal life deteriorates—his wife leaves, and he’s faced with mounting debt. A former colleague suggests becoming a labor attorney, and surprisingly, Mu-jin passes the exams. But luck doesn’t stick: the same colleague who promised him a return to their firm gets fired.

A Desperate Hustle Begins

After a drunken night, Mu-jin accidentally leaves his business card on what he thought was a statue. Later, with help from his sister-in-law Na Hee-joo, he opens a modest practice, struggling to attract clients. As financial stress mounts, Hee-joo introduces a new scheme: teaming up with famous YouTuber Gyeon-woo to expose negligent factories and extort settlements under the guise of legal consulting.

Reluctant at first, Mu-jin caves, and the trio quickly sees financial success. They refurbish their office and pay off overdue rent. Still, Mu-jin begins to worry about their moral slide. Gyeon-woo then targets Taehyeop Steel in Gyeonggi-do—a company with a deadly record. This brings us back to the opening scene at the factory.

A Near-Death Experience with a Ghostly Twist

As Hee-joo distracts the factory director with veiled threats, Mu-jin inspects the plant and narrowly escapes a deadly accident. In this moment of near-death, his life flashes before him. Suddenly, his spirit enters a mystical realm where he meets a burning man—an echo of a dream he had earlier. The man offers him a deal: Mu-jin can return to life, but only if he helps the ghosts of workers who died due to corporate negligence.

Despite hesitation, Mu-jin signs the mysterious contract without reading it in full. The man disappears, and Mu-jin regains consciousness back at the factory. A final flashback reveals that the “statue” he drunkenly apologized to was actually this supernatural entity, setting the stage for what’s to come.

This Oh My Ghost Clients Episode 1 recap introduces an intriguing mix of real-world labor issues and supernatural justice. Mu-jin’s transformation from a disgraced lawyer to a reluctant medium for workplace ghosts promises a unique blend of social commentary and paranormal drama.
