One Dollar Lawyer

Just chill and enjoy the show as it takes you on a new roller coaster of emotions suspense & comedy

The show started of with a lot of potential but it felt as though some of it was wasted. The acting of the ml was truly amazing, he was the reason I picked the show up to begin with and he really did his job well. The cast really made the story come alive and enjoyable. I do wish however, that something happened between the ml and fl as there was slight tension between them and they really had the potential to become a great couple. :/

Overall the show was very enjoyable to binge and would really recommend anyone to watch it. If you are, sit back , get some snacks and enjoy cuz the show will put you through a roller coaster. ;)

Full of potential but unfortunate execution

This title I honestly had high expectations for, as I do for any production that Namkoong min is a part of , as he is a wonderful actor, picking scripts with emotional flair and fun scenes and is someone I would say this role is perfect for.

The show started off with great promise. But honestly, it required a 16 episode run time. After a while, we stop seeing any episodes of actually legal drama, which is what the show is about, and the product placement is somehow the worst I’ve seen thus far.

Not to mention, the entire past flashback sequence was incredibly out of place and contrived. Post flashback story was rushed, and I didn’t think they’d wrap up the story until half way through the twelfth episode, which is the last. It was handled poorly as well.

Now as for things I liked, namkoong min, obviously. His performance as always was stellar. Baek Ma-ri was a fun character, as was her mother. I really liked prosecutor Na Yejin, and I thought Seo Minhyeok was a good character as well who deserved if not more screen time, then at least more character development.
I also was unreasonably in love with the opening intro song and the accompanying animation. This would have been great as a long running short animation tv show.

Corny and super over the top

Lets start with just how ridiculous is this. So many good law dramas like why her and attorney woo that also had some comedy in it and worked good since the cast is young and cheerful. However since most of the cast especially ml is mature it came off as cringy and I was like what 40+ yr old behaves that way. I don't know what's up with the FLs in all his dramas if his female costars where a type filler with edgy moments and much younger than him. And here is a bit of an unpopular opinion he just really can't act, the way he smug smiles is just off putting. Let's talk about the legal aspect of it, honestly nothing that we haven't seen before and even in a better way. Overall it's a 5 in rating, but since I got particularly annoyed with the leads I give it a 1

Such a waste of time!!!

I started to watch this drama because of Namkoong Min. His previous dramas were very good. But during watching this drama the only thought I had is why they made this drama. The acting of the cast was okay. Music also somehow fine. At least there was a good story in first six episodes. There was a nice story in later six episodes also but screenwriter and director were unable to express that properly. Everything was very instant in last episode. they squeezed lots of scenes for the last episode. There was too much unnecessary comedy in this drama. There is no rewatch value of this drama. Overall this drama is a waste of time

So far, so good...

The dynamics and mind thrilling event playing out have been awesome, the episode 5 got me waiting seriously for 6.

I the comedy part is another one, strange display that will get you wondering and laughing. Let's see how it plays out.
I still don't know why he charges one thousand won for a case, we will see. The murder case in episode 5, the guy seem very untrustworthy, yet I wonder why he accepted to represent him in court.
Who would be the antagonist? Let's see...
Still looking forward to how the romance will evolve in the drama.
Overall, the drama start well, and it is going well, you definitely have to watch it.

It is perfect, because it's imperfect

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 even 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 you can feel that it is made with love and care, no feeling of laziness, and I truly appreciate it.

Something-Something Inflation!

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 – A Legal Drama Masterpiece! ?

One Dollar Lawyer is an absolute gem that kept me hooked from start to finish! Namkoong Min as Chun Ji-hoon was phenomenal, bringing charm, wit, and emotion to the role of a lawyer who charges just 1,000 won yet fights for justice with unshakable determination. Beneath his humor lies a man seeking justice for personal tragedy—a heart-wrenching journey tied to his late wife and father, which adds incredible depth to his character. Kim Ji-eun as Baek Ma-ri was equally impressive, balancing strength and vulnerability as she worked alongside Ji-hoon to tackle corruption.

The supporting cast, including Choi Dae-hoon as Seo Min-hyuk, Lee Deok-hwa as Baek Hyun-moo, and Park Jin-woo as Sa Mu-jang, brought so much personality and life to the story. Every character shone in their own way, including Lee Chung-ah as Lee Joo-young, whose presence added mystery and emotion.

The OST was absolutely brilliant, with songs like "Get in Line" by DinDin and the main theme enhancing the humor and emotional beats perfectly. The blend of comedy, drama, and heartache made this show unforgettable. If you’re looking for a drama that will make you laugh, cry, and cheer, One Dollar Lawyer is a ten-out-of-ten must-watch!
