One Dollar Lawyer Breaks 15% Ratings with Episode 8 as Lee Chung Ah Guest Stars and Fans Clamor for a Future Third Time Pairing with Namgoong Min

There weren’t a lot of people that watched tvN drama Awaken (Night and Day) but I was hella hooked thanks to the initially very intriguing sci-fi plus procedural mystery. Then it was the Namgoong Min and Lee Chung Ah show as the two riffed off one another and build this simmering incredible chemistry that works as police partners and as potential romantic interests. Then they turned out to be fraternal twins ahahaha in the big birth secret plot twist and admittedly was central and crucial to the story but it basically shivved everyone of us shipping them. Now she’s back onscreen in a true romantic plot with Namgoong Min in his currently airing hit drama One Dollar Lawyer, and this past weekend she appeared in flashbacks as a guest star to explain the titular lawyer’s reason for his eccentric ways. Fans LOVED IT as the two validated the reason why viewers ship them, still so much chemistry and cuteness nnnngggg. But since it’s a flashback and also she’s only a guest star one can figure out what happened to her character. Fans are crying foul and demand a THIRD reunion. Yup, don’t do the do-si-do dance K-drama land unless you deliver the goods in the end.
