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: Justice Has Never Been So Affordable (or Entertaining)!

Oh boy, what a delightful rollercoaster! Picture this: a legal comedy that had me in stitches one minute and reaching for tissues the next.

First things first, can we take a moment to appreciate Namkoong Min? This guy is a chameleon, I swear. After seeing him in serious roles, watching him transform into the flamboyant, eccentric Cheon Ji-hoon was like witnessing a magic trick. His permed hair, vibrant suits, and that swagger? Chef's kiss! But don't let the flashy exterior fool you – when Ji-hoon gets serious, it's like watching a shark smell blood in the water. Namkoong Min nails both the comedy and the intensity, and I was here for every second of it.

Now, let's talk about the rollercoaster ride this show took me on. The first half? Pure comedy gold. I was laughing so hard I thought I might pull a muscle. But then BAM! Episodes 7 and 8 hit me with Ji-hoon's backstory, and suddenly I'm ugly crying. Just when I thought I had it figured out, episode 9 comes along and flips the script back to hilarity. Talk about emotional whiplash! But you know what? I loved every second of it.

The main trio? Absolute dynamite! Their chemistry was off the charts, serving up both laughs and heart-warming moments. Namkoong Min and Kim Ji-eun? chef's kiss Comedy perfection! I found myself wishing for more cases just to see them in action. The bickering, the grudging respect, I was living for it.

And can we talk about the supporting cast? Don't even get me started on the prosecutor's team - they were the unsung heroes of this show. Special shoutout to Min-hyung, the perfect blend of humor and smarts. I needed more of their duo.. their bromance.. Seriously, these guys deserve their own spin-off series!

Now, if you're into character development, buckle up because this show delivers. Watching our lead go from his tragic past to cracking jokes had me shook. How does a person change so much? It's a testament to the writing and acting that I could enjoy the humor while still feeling the weight of his history. Ji-hoon's journey from tragedy to comedy is like watching a phoenix rise from the ashes, but instead of flames, he's surrounded by perfectly tailored suits and witty one-liners.

Is it the most realistic legal drama out there? Nah. But is it one of the most entertaining? You bet your last dollar it is! "One Dollar Lawyer" is like if "Legally Blonde" met "The Good Fight" and decided to have a K-drama baby. It's smart, it's funny, and it's got heart in spades.

Bottom line? If "One Dollar Lawyer" gets a season 2, I'll be first in line to watch. Heck, I'd even pay more than a dollar for it

Episode two takes it from a 6 to a solid 8.5

Episode one had me snoring sorry.
And that is after like 5 trial rewatches...
For a beginning episode it personally failed to pick interest which was a bummer because am a huge fan of the lead guy's previous dramas.
So i just left it halfway and went to episode two.
And from the first dialogue...it did exactly what it came to due. Delivered, and topped with a good amount of humour hence redeeming itself. Technically i didn't need the first episode that much.
I love when law shows actually do good focusing on the law part with interesting dialogue of back and forth and episode two put a big smile on my face.
Will be seated to see how it all unfolds further.

not a refreshing plot, but a wholesome comedy nevertheless

With only 2 episodes aired, writing a review may seem premature, but I have plans to edit this as I watch more episodes. It's just easier for me.

Nam Goong Min is Cheon Ji Hoon, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney - but a poor and broke-ass one, because he only charges 1000 won ($1) fee for each case he undertakes. The heroic protagonist that doesn't exist IRL. This stuff is meant for comic books, and it is apt for the production to feature an anime-style opening theme. Although I feel slipping into a character like Ji Hoon is not his forte, his acting is rather good.

My main complaint is the fake tan Nam Goong Min was given by the makeup team. It was horrible. He looked like a roasted almond skin - that tone doesn't blend well with his natural skintone at all. And they forgot to give his hands a tan too - in the last few scenes of Episode 2, you could clearly see the contrast between his original skintone of his hands, his ears, and the fake tan on his face.

Park Jin Woo, a veteran who has appeared in more films than in dramas, is Sa Mu Jang, Cheon Ji Hoon's "litigation office manager" and all-around partner in his cases. Cheon Ji Hoon is eccentric, but Sa Mu Jang is the comic relief. Perplexed by their debt situation due to Ji Hoon's policy of only accepting 1000 won for each case, he tried to resign from his position albeit unsuccessfully - because Ji Hoon wouldn't let him. Of course, being a lawyer, Ji Hoon should know that a resignation letter immediately takes effect once it is submitted. It doesn't matter whether the employer accepts it or not. For the sake of fiction, like 1000 won per case itself, the writers go with "let's tear up the resignation letter and pretend it never happened".

Kim Ji Eun is Baek Ma Ri, granddaughter of a law firm magnate. She is a prosecutor on her probationary term, and meets Ji Hoon in one of her cases. She lost the case to Ji Hoon, and her grandfather sent her off to work for Ji Hoon for two months in hopes she would be able to learn and apply her experiences at the law firm. Baek Ma Ri as a character is not particularly likeable, but we can predict with a degree of certainty that her character will improve as the story moves forward. However, Kim Ji Eun's acting itself needs a lot of work. She has a bad habit of overusing her lips to express a particular emotion, and to me, it's rather distracting. She also did this a lot in Again My Life, but back then I couldn't pin my finger on what's wrong with her acting. Now I know what bugged me so much. Employing a range of facial expressions is vital for any thespian, and I just feel she needs to learn how to do that more than relying on just the exaggerated movements of her lips.

It's probably strange to say this, but with an outrageous premise like this, I don't expect much from the drama - and yet at the same time, I do have expectations for it to continue to entertain with its comedic scenes and character growths. I will edit this review and its score in weeks to come.
