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.

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.

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.

I didn't expect much before I start watching this series but turns out its a comedy with a heartwarming message to the audience. And I felt in love with the main character during the first court case (the pickpocket) I didn't expect to so in such an emotional roller coaster but this is what i get from that story alone.

Of course its not all perfect, there are some of those nonsense comedy scenes as well but I find them very entertaining and I laughed very loud so many times during those nonsense.

Its very hard to find a good comedy series nowadays but if you're looking for some great stuff.. look no more.. this series is "it"

'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.
