Watch: Namgoong Min Firmly Refuses To Change His Fee Despite His Fear Of His Angry Landlord In "One Dollar Lawyer" Teaser

Sep 16, 2022

SBS’s upcoming drama “One Dollar Lawyer” has unveiled a new teaser!

“One Dollar Lawyer” is a new drama starring Namgoong Min as Cheon Ji Hoon, a lawyer who only charges an attorney’s fee of 1,000 won (approximately $0.72) despite his renowned skills. A hero who comes to the rescue of clients without money or connections, Cheon Ji Hoon isn’t afraid of facing off against the rich and powerful who use expensive lawyers to escape the law.

Kim Ji Eun will be starring in the drama as Baek Ma Ri, who hails from a “royal family” among judicial circles and is in the final stages of training to become a prosecutor. However, her life turns upside down when her powerful grandfather Baek Hyun Moo (Lee Deok Hwa) orders her to work for Cheon Ji Hoon for two months.

The third teaser highlights Cheon Ji Hoon’s reasonable double standards about money. In the beginning, a client who seems to be well-off requests Cheon Ji Hoon to be his lawyer while handing over a large sum of money. He offers, “I’ll pay you whatever you want.” Cheon Ji Hoon takes a whiff of the money before coolly rejecting him, saying, “Oddly enough, I don’t want to receive this money.”

Baek Ma Ri finds it ridiculous that Cheon Ji Hoon’s attorney’s fee is only 1,000 won, despite the fact that his rent is overdue. He quickly hides when his landlord appears, hilariously leaving Baek Ma Ri to deal with it on her own. Cheon Ji Hoon says, “We could be kicked out anytime,. That’s the kind of situation we’re in.” Beak Ma Ri covers her mouth with her hand as she witnesses him sleeping behind the couch with nothing but a piece of newspaper as a blanket.

Baek Ma Ri states she doesn’t understand why Cheon Ji Hoon is doing this, and Cheon Ji Hoon explains, “People who come here don’t come because they want to know about the law. They come because they need help.” His warm words make drama fans smile, piquing curiosity about his journeys as an attorney who values justice over money.
