Jung Kyung-ho Stars in New MBC Fantasy Drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’

Set to premiere on May 30 at 9:50 PM KST, MBC’s newest Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ is preparing to deliver a fresh twist on the legal drama genre. Featuring Jung Kyung-ho in his first-ever titular role, this fantasy-comedy centers around a labor attorney with an unusual ability—he sees ghosts.

The story follows Noh Moo-jin, a down-to-earth labor attorney who resolves unresolved workplace issues for ghosts who died from industrial accidents and other labor injustices. This unique narrative merges societal commentary with supernatural humor, marking a bold new approach in K-drama storytelling.

Jung Kyung-ho, known for his versatile portrayals of various professionals such as prison guards, doctors, and instructors, expressed his excitement about taking on this role. He remarked that the script was engaging and emotionally resonant, capturing the heartfelt struggles of his character in a way that felt real and uplifting.

“It’s a story that combines warmth, laughter, and the reality of labor conflicts,” Jung said. “The character felt so human, and I wanted to bring out every side of him.”

To prepare, Jung met with real-life labor attorneys to understand their day-to-day challenges. The drama also required him to master a range of ghostly gestures and spiritual mannerisms as he partners with supernatural entities for the first time on screen.

Fans from Korea and abroad are eagerly awaiting the series not only to see Jung’s transformative performance but also to experience the genre-bending storytelling that blends labor rights, fantasy, and comedy into a compelling primetime drama.
