One Dollar Lawyer (2022) – WHAT’S THE STORY?
The Kdrama One Dollar Lawyer depicts the story of an eccentric but skilled lawyer, Cheon Jihun, who is always dressed to the nines in tailored three-piece suits and stylish perm. Cheon Jihun only charges only 1,000 won (about $1) for his legal services to fight for poor people who are up against the most expensive lawyers and their wealthy-privileged clients who wanna get away with breaking the law. Jihun’s shameless ways clash with Baek Mari, who works as a prosecutor’s assistant and disagrees with his unorthodox methodology. Baek Mari is sharp and confident. Her grandfather founded the biggest law enterprise in Korea, Baek Law Firm, where she works as a lawyer. Baek Mari receives the shock of her life when she finds out she has to work with Jihun in his small office for two months. As the story unfolds, Cheon Jihun and Baek Mari, forced to work together, will get to learn more from each other as they continue to defend their poor and undereducated clients against big corporations, who have no mercy for crushing them. Their humorous rivalry created great chemistry on screen.
