Mystical Savior Returns: Jung Kyung-ho Faces Tang Jun-sang Again in 'The Labor Lawyer'

Jung Kyung-ho encounters his 'savior' Tang Jun-sang once more in a life-threatening situation.

In the third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Labor Lawyer', airing on the 6th, No Moo-jin (played by Jung Kyung-ho) is summoned again by the mysterious young man, Bosal (played by Tang Jun-sang). The episode draws attention as Moo-jin's frustration over signing a contract without reading it properly reaches a boiling point.

Bosal, a character who has intrigued viewers with his enigmatic presence, first appeared surrounded by flames, knocking on Moo-jin's office and home doors. He reappeared when Moo-jin was about to be crushed by steel bars at a factory. With a youthful face and a mysterious aura, Bosal proposed a labor contract to Moo-jin, offering to save his life in exchange for helping the spirits of unjustly deceased workers find peace.

Moo-jin successfully helped a deceased intern find peace after a factory accident, and when he no longer saw ghosts, he felt liberated. However, just as he celebrated, a severed electric wire whipped towards him, ending the second episode. Viewers expressed their surprise, noting, "It's the first time I've seen a protagonist face death twice in just two episodes," and eagerly anticipated the next encounter with the 'transcendent savior' Bosal, who holds Moo-jin's fate.

In the stills from the third episode of 'The Labor Lawyer', Moo-jin is seen reviewing the contract details with Bosal. Realizing the 'unfair labor contract' he signed, Moo-jin looks as if he's been scammed. He discovers tiny special clauses in the contract, leaving him wide-eyed with curiosity about what he missed.

The 'power dynamic chemistry' between the frustrated Moo-jin and the unflappable Bosal promises laughter. Despite Moo-jin's protests and defiance, Bosal smiles as if unaffected. Once again, Bosal leaves Moo-jin with cryptic words, heightening curiosity about his true identity and intentions. As Bosal continues to both torment and help Moo-jin in a tsundere manner, viewers are eager to see how their interactions will unfold.

'The Labor Lawyer' episode 3 airs on Friday, June 6th, at 9:50 PM.
