One Dollar Lawyer

This show has a number of flaws, which are nicely stated in other reviews. However, in my eyes the charm of the drama is The Mixture of its strengths and faults. As these series are vastly idealistic, it has little relation to the real world behaviours and outcomes, which makes its comedy parts stronger.

The main actors are superb, the script is well written and the story flows nicely, with only a few drops here and there, all the characters stay true to themselves (for me that is always a monumental plus) and the comedy is on point (even the cringey parts).

Could it have been made better? Dropped a bit of cringe, added some more subplot for the second leads? Of course. The problem of Perfection is that it does not have a completeness, a finish line, unlike the real life projects and people's energy levels. At some point someone has to say "it's good enough".

While watching this drama one can feel that it is made with love and care, no feeling of laziness. And I truly appreciate it.

A very funny and lovely series, but with a very simple and uncomplicated story.. What makes this drama interesting, is the very good performing abilities of the first three actors.

Every drama has its flaws and this one is not an exception but the acting of the actors of this series makes the moments of the story sweeter.

Nam Goong Min, Park Jin Woo and Kim Ji Eun make you laugh from the first to the end The story is generally about a young lawyer and his two colleagues in order to execute justice. Don't expect to see romantic scenes in this 12-episode mini-series. There is nothing but special police mysteries, and I give this series a score of 8 out of 10.

One of the best korean drama I have seen so far with heroic, comedy, friendship and love storyline about a small team of 3 members dedicated themselves to help the ordinary people who cannot afford the typical expensive lawyer fee to seek justice.

The producer did a great job in selecting the characters for the storyline like Namkoong Min and Kim Ji-eun as the main actor and actress and Park Jin-woo as the supporting actor. Three of them have such a great chemistry working together and their acting were very on point.

I finished the 10-episodes drama in one weekend and I fell in love with their acting and hoping the 3 of them can make another season of the drama.

The drama had a good and gripping start with the trial and everything surrounding it but it was the only trial in the drama. The rest turned out to be something different. I wish we had more like that trial. Although the silliness and slacking around was fun at first but it got a little tiring later on and padding the drama with 3 full episodes of flashbacks with a serious tone wasn't enough. Despite its shorter runtime there were big inconsistencies rooming around, it's like they had 3 dramas with 3 different ideas shoved into one. However, the drama always felt like there was something missing to formula. I really liked the concept, it had much more to offer than we were shown. The characters and their dynamic had a lot of potential to be expanded upon. The cast also brought up a good performance to the screen. I found the murder case to be the weakest part of the drama and somewhat boring, it also took too much time before moving on to something else. Right just when we started to get real development the drama ended, that was really unfortunate. I don't think this will get season 2 based on what they've done with these 12 episodes.

'One Dollar Lawyer' is an absolutely great storyline about a lawyer whose legal fee is just a 1000 wons. The story comes with some amazing twists and turns. Some aspects of the drama might feel similar to dramas like Vincenzo, but 'One Dollar Lawyer' is a different type of project and is not to be judged by comparing it with other dramas. Min Namkoong really understood the assignment well and his acting was on point in both the phases of the character. Apart from that, even other short roles (criminals, accused, etc.) are very well played by the actors. I give it a 9/10 because I did not much like the way it ends. In my opinion, the story could've been a bit longer and spicier. But overall it is a really good drama and will not fail to entertain you and keep you hooked.
