'One Dollar Lawyer' Slammed For Plagiarism
Issue after issue, Namgoong Min's comeback series "One Dollar Lawyer" is in hot water for plagiarizing the 2016 series "Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho."
Supposedly, "One Dollar Lawyer" was scheduled to air six years ago but was canceled due to the plagiarism issue as the two works share the same plot and script.
Screenwriter Choi Soo Jin denies all accusations, stating that his work has nothing to do with the other six-year-old series, and that any similarities from the other work was purely coincidental.
