Why is Namkoong Min's 'One Dollar Lawyer' a hit? K-drama crosses 12% in global viewership ratings
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: In the world of K-drama, many shows grab the attention of the viewers and become a nationwide sensation. Becoming a fan favorite does not require too long and the shows begin topping the charts almost in the initial weeks of their release. 'Business Proposal' and 'Squid Games' are two of the many to achieve this feat. Namkoong Min's 'One Dollar Lawyer' is a brand new addition to this list. The legal drama has officially garnered an average viewership rating of 12.9% globally after the release of its third episode. This is not all, as the eccentric comedy series recorded a double-digit rating on both regional and international viewership.
SBS's latest K-drama finds Namkoong Min in the lead in the role of a legal hero Chun Ji-hoon. Chun Ji-hoon is a lawyer, who irrespective of his masterclass skills, charges only 1000 won to become an advocate. The first trailer of the show explains Chun Ji-hoon's character vividly. He is seen offering to help a man who is attempting to commit suicide. However, Ji-hoon's way of handling cases is a bit different from most lawyers. The series also features Baek Ma-ri, who works as an intern under Ji-hoon.
