@larus, thank you for the update. I hope Disney+ will eventually make this Drama available for those of us in the USA.
@backstreetboysfan, thank you for the article. I wish Namgoong Min a speedy recovery, and good health...

Namkoong Min takes lead role in comedy series 'One Dollar Lawyer'
Actor Namkoong Min plays the role of lawyer Cheon Ji-hun in SBS' new comedy series "One Dollar Lawyer." Courtesy of SBS
Actor Namkoong Min, who made his debut in 2001, had his major breakthrough with KBS' 2017 hit comedy series, "Good Manager," which earned him the second-highest honor at the network's year-end award.
About five years later, the actor has returned to comedy with SBS' new series "One Dollar Lawyer," taking the lead role as a peculiar lawyer, Cheon Ji-hun.
The new comedy series revolves around the stylish lawyer who only charges his client 1,000 won ($0.7) for his fee, despite being one of the best attorneys around.
A soon-to-be graduate of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, Baek Ma-ri (Kim Ji-eun), who comes from a family with a legal background, comes to finish her training at Ji-hun's office. Joining hands, they fight against the privileged and their high-priced, fancy lawyers from getting away with crimes.
The series kicked off on Friday with an 8.1 percent viewership rating, and had 8.5 percent on Saturday.
"When I first read the script last year, I didn't know that there would be this many series featuring lawyers. So I tried to put focus on how I can make it interesting when I built the character of Ji-hun," the actor said in a written interview through the network.
He added that he created a stylish, fancy look for the character to make him more mysterious and interesting.
"At first (in the script), Ji-hun had the look that fits the title 'One Dollar Lawyer.' But, I wanted the viewers to get curious about Ji-hun from just looking at him. So I came up with checkered pattern suits and curly hair. And I even went on a diet to give a slimmer look for the character than my previous work," he said.
"That's how I created the appearance. And in acting-wise, I tried to keep a fine balance between the comedy and serious drama."
This is the second time the actor is working with actress Kim, since they co-starred in the MBC's action series "The Veil" last year.
He shared that being united with her again has allowed them to create better chemistry between their characters.
"We know each other's passion for acting and what we are good at very well so we have been hitting it off really well on set," he said. "The chemistry between the characters is especially important for this series. And the actors and staff have been doing a great job discussing the script and characters with each other on the set. So I'm pleased and excited to be working on this."
"One Dollar Lawyer" airs Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m.

@backstreetboysfan, @larus, Thank you for the good news
I have not seen "The First Wives Club." I looked up Moon Yeong-nam filmography.
The only Drama by her I have seen and liked was "Revolutionary Sisters."
I'd love to see her older Drama "Terms of Endearment" with Chae Shi Ra and Ji Sung.
I have liked Seo Ji-Hye ever since seeing her in "Punch."
Looking forward to more news...-

~~~~~~~~~~~Namgoong Min intrigues as a cost-effective lawyer in upcoming legal drama
SBS has revealed the first look at Namgoong Min’s character Cheon Ji Hoon from ‘One Dollar Lawyer’.
Namgoong Min : courtesy of News1
Slated to air in the fall after ‘Today’s Webtoon’, we have our first look at Namgoong Min as Cheon Ji Hoon from the upcoming drama ‘One Dollar Lawyer’! The legal drama is set to follow Namgoong Min as a particularly cost-effective lawyer, who only charges a fee of 1,000 South Korean Won (approximately 60 Indian Rupees).
Despite his proven skills, Cheon Ji Hoon sides with those in need, unafraid of standing up against those who abuse and manipulate the system with the help of their power and money. The new stills offer a look at Cheon Ji Hoon’s different quirks. Although fashionably dressed with permed hair and a true force to be reckoned with, the character teases a comical side with his expressions and mannerisms.
Check out the new stills, below:
https://www.instagram.com/p/ChbHEjrL-8W/
SBS has also released its ‘Title Teaser’ for ‘One Dollar Lawyer’, teasing its release in September. Watch the clip, below:
https://www.instagram.com/p/ChYb6mpgi4d‘One Dollar Lawyer’ will also star Kim Ji Eun, Choi Dae Hoon, Lee Deok Hwa, Park Jin Woo, and Gong Min Jung. Joining Namgoong Min’s character Cheon Ji Hoon, Kim Ji Eun takes on the role of Baek Ma Ri. From a “royal family” in judicial circles, she is in the last leg of her training to become a prosecutor. Meanwhile, Choi Dae Hoon stars as Seo Min Hyuk, who dreams of marrying Baek Ma Ri. Also a prosecutor from a “royal” judicial family, he returns to South Korea after two years spent in training in Brooklyn.
Namgoong Min had previously shared his thoughts about the upcoming drama, sharing, “This is a project that I’m really looking forward to.” Stay tuned for more updates!

Namgoong Min Is A Uniquely Affordable Attorney For Hire In New Drama “One Dollar Lawyer”
SBS’s upcoming drama “One Dollar Lawyer” has unveiled its first stills of Namgoong Min in his leading role!
“One Dollar Lawyer” will star Namgoong Min as Cheon Ji Hoon, a lawyer who only charges an attorney’s fee of 1,000 won (approximately $0.75) 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."
In newly released photos from the upcoming drama, Namgoong Min puts his character’s oddball charms on full display, showing off Cheon Ji Hoon’s flashy fashion sense and quirky personality. Although his gaze is sharp and intimidating in the courtroom, there is something undeniably comic about the way Cheon Ji Hoon crouches down in his expensive suit to film something with his cell phone.
Spoiler
“One Dollar Lawyer” will premiere this fall, following the conclusion of SBS’s currently airing drama “Today’s Webtoon.”

On July 20, the producers of the new ENA drama “Good Job” officially announced that Ryu Seung Jin would no longer be directing the production—and that he had been replaced by director Kang Min Goo.
@backstreetboysfan, thank you for the article.
Actually, it seems that Kang Mi-Goo has had a little more experience directing than Ryu Seung Jin, so maybe it is a move in the right direction.
Kang Mi-Goo was one of the Directors on Itaewon Class. He also directed "The Goddess of Revenge" and "Pumpkin Time". I have not seen them. Have you?
Well, it looks like "Good Job" will come next after "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
Is there a thread for the Drama 'Good Job?' I am not seeing one

This is the actor's first public appearance since the controversy involving his ex-girlfriend.
On this day, Kim Seon Ho appeared with a handwritten letter ahead of the conference meeting. He said, "I thought it was the right thing to do, so I came out alone first. I am a little nervous so I thought I would talk incoherently so I wrote this down. I hope you can understand with open hearts."
After a moment of silence, he began reading his letter. He read, "I am really sorry and apologize for sharing this at the press call event. Many people worked hard from this spring to summer to make this play. I feel like I have caused a hindrance to everyone so once again apologize to the team and everyone" and shed tears.
He continued to say, "I am truly sorry for causing concern to many people with bad news. Looking back, I have reflected a lot on my shortcomings. All I can say is that I will put forth the effort to become a better actor and a better person. I am sorry."

Kim Seon-ho Tops Poll of Which Celebrity to Spend a Humid Summer With
The mathematics-based cram school corporation Seven Edu recently released the results of an online poll which had been taken from June 19th the July 12th. Some 4,914 respondents were asked which celebrity they wished to spend a humid summer with. Of those respondents, 4,101, or 83.5% of the total, stated that their celebrity of choice for this query was Kim Seon-ho. Kang Daniel was second place 640 respondents for 13%, while Kim Jong-gook was third place with 57 respondents for 1.2%.While international fans tend to know Kim Seon-ho best for his acting work, with his having a breakout role as the second lead in "Start Up" followed by a leading role in "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" last year, the respondents to the poll were most likely thinking of his work in variety shows. Kim Seon-ho has been on hiatus the last nine months. The cause has been a scandal where an ex-girlfriend accused Kim Seon-ho of bullying her into having an abortion.
Kim Seon-ho acknowledged the substance of the complaints and apologized to the ex-girlfriend. Purportedly, she accepted his apology. Kim Seon-ho is making his return via stage with Touching the Void, a play about mountaineering that's based on the book of the same title. The play started this past July 8th, with Kim Seon-ho first appearing in the July 9th performance at the Art One Theater in Seoul. It is not known if or when Kim Seon-ho will return to screen acting.
