One Dollar Lawyer

As usual Min Nam-koong made this worth watching. His talents are never ending. One minute I am crying my eyes out in sorrow and the next crying with laughter. His acting skills and ability to surprise me with his humour and of course amazing looks make for a great watch.

Loved the cast, they all jelled well together, quirky humour and laugh out loud moments made this another one of my favourite shows.

Without spoiling things, I like the idea of the one dollar lawyer fee, the whole meaning being able to help everyone, no matter their status or wealth, the opportunity to have the aide and help given to everyone not just the rich.

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.

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.

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.

This features some really excellent script writing which pairs well with excellent performances by Min Namkoong and the entire cast. There's a lot packed into this series which works the present and past for all they're worth. Why is the fee only one dollar? That answer is revealed over the course of the series and it's definitely worth the watching wait. Some very serious legal/social issues are embedded making this far more than a comic romp. It's not. For romantics--yes, there's a love story. Pay attention because the shifts from present to past and back are subtle. Some great visual film work too.
