I thought everything went on smoothly though. That nosebleed was really needed😂😉. But with the plot points you've listed out, I'm hoping the finale isn't stretched too thin everything is concluded without a one scene resolve for some.

@missvictrix thank you for the weecap and raising those questions. This was a weird episode because it tried to do too much without doing enough to save next week from being too rushed.

I felt episode 11 was needed as we had a few pieces of the corruption plot missing and now we know how the pieces fit together. Where things go wrong is the marrying of comedy and serious, which just isn’t done smoothly in this show. Because, I am watching this alongside Chief Kim, I see the writer trying to put Chief Kim in a new profession. I think whilst they got the straight/comedy balance right in Chief Kim they haven’t in One dollar and have literally written two distinct dramas. The show started out as a comedy with Mujang always playing the counterbalance and it went serious whenever Yejin was part of the plot. The writers then tried to make the two distinct cakes into a Victoria sandwich by adding Mari and Minhyeok as the buttercream and jam because they have been part of both Jihun’s worlds. The artist case had those two playing key roles to try to mix the serious with some of the unusual strategies, however, it was too abrupt a change. Once they had got the audience into accepting that Jihun could handle high stakes cases it made no sense to go back to a straight comedy low stakes case with the van fiasco. Then just as abruptly go back into a hybrid episode with the posh party arrival in the low grade van.

Personally, I preferred the serious episodes after the artist story and feel that is where the show could have started and shown his transition from dark serious clothes and straight hair to perm and zany outfits and unusual strategies to solve cases. It would have felt smoother and a more authentic portrayal of a man who wanted to make his fiancée’s business model work so that all people could get top lawyer benefits.

I hope they wrap up all the corruption well next week. I do think Mari’s grandfather is aware the rich do dodgy things and he is making money keeping them from facing the consequences but I think he would draw the line at murder. Minhyeok’s dad, however is like the JC group chairman he doesn’t care as long as he gets paid and can maintain his lifestyle.

I don’t know if season two is needed and I am not sure if I would watch it unless it was one genre. It works best when Jihun does the Columbo style bumbling idiot persona and helps defeat the powerful in the low stakes cases.

This episode was so boring... We already knew who was the murder of his fiancee, so as a viewer this episode brought nothing new.

Mari was pretty disapointing. She just worked in her grandfather law firm without any second thought.

The French speaking scene was funny. They just gave him a new voice. But I don't know why on my subtitles they translated Chloé in Corinne.

After I watched the episode, all I think was "I don't think I've ever seen a drama do such a hard reset in the middle of the drama" haha
And given that joke letter was all they read, I can definitely see why they were so hurt and angry.

This show is indescrible to me because nothing happens as I thought it would. I don't want to say I have/had expectations between the title sequence and the first week's episodes, I did think there was going to more bickering, more out of the box thinking, and Mari begrudingly coming to respect Jihoon. That's not what I got and it's just leaving me in confusion each week.

I know there are people who are/were into the dark, serious backstory but I wasn't; that's not why I thought the show looked fun and interesting. If he had only been an eccentric guy who chose to charge 1000 won for his services, I would've been okay with that (even if I'm the only one who would've been).
Now those elements that I signed up for just seem like a record scratch before moving on to something else for example the episode that had the car scam. Sure, it had some chuckle worthy moments (Jihoon's weird leap & him being creeped out by Mari's behavior) but overall, it added nothing to anything. At least not to me.
Yeah, he helped the prosecution team but it just feels... odd to me.

What an interesting case study this drama is gonna make!

So ... the writers had a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. They got the frame and some of the bigger, more recognizable sections of the picture assembled. They stuck together some other bits - a painted wall here, a bouquet of flowers there - and placed them roughly where they belonged in the overall tableau. They sorted all the light-colored pieces to one side and all the dark pieces to the other.

Then they picked up a big handful of fifty or so remaining pieces, scattered them randomly on the table, wedged them into each other by force, and called it done.

An episode that ended as it began, with nothing happening in the middle to show any progression. I really don't know how they will wrap this up satisfactorily.
The reunion scenes were sad, not funny, and JH won back his crew too easily I think considering what he put them through.
Dissatisfied on many levels.

I thought I was the only one who wasn't satisfied by the episode. Nothing much weny on that I couldn't understand what was the main theme of the episode. I am really disappointed with the show. It started on a good note but went downhill since episode 8

Oh that was--not good. Like so frustrating and boring. The whole "France" scene was a complete waste of time. Didn't this script win some kind of writing competition? Or am I confusing that with THE VEIL?

Namgoong Min, the things I go through to watch you act. I just wish your projects weren't so hit or miss, because I do love to watch you act.

At 01:01:56, JiHun/ Namgoong Min shows his social media, goes to the friend, chuckles and says, "Isn't she pretty?". Does anyone know if that is someone random, or is it his wife, Jin A-reum?
