‘Beyond the Bar’ Release Date

Beyond the Bar starring Jung Chaeyeon and Lee Jin Wook is slated to begin airing on August 2, 2025. New episodes will be broadcast on JTBC every weekend at 10:40 p.m. KST. The show will also be released on Netflix, with two episodes available each weekend.

The show will run for six weeks, wrapping up with its final episode on September 7, 2025. Each episode will run approximately 60 minutes, and the drama consists of 12 episodes in total.

Plot Overview

It tells the story of Yoon Seok Hoon (Lee Jin Wook), a top lawyer at Yullim Law Firm known for his sharp mind and cold, no-nonsense attitude. He keeps his distance from others and focuses solely on winning cases. Things start to shift when Kang Hyo Min (Jung Chaeyeon), a rookie lawyer with strong ideals but poor social skills, joins his team.

From the start, their approaches clash, Seok Hoon relies on logic and control, while Hyo Min believes in emotion and fairness. Despite the friction, they are forced to work together on tough cases, and over time, their relationship changes. Seok Hoon begins to mentor Hyo Min, helping her become more confident and skilled, while she slowly challenges his way of thinking.

Beyond the Bar Trailer

In the Beyond the Bar trailer, Lee Jin Wook’s character is described by colleagues as “all business” who has no time for “‘chit-chat”.

JTBC has released a trailer showing courtroom drama, power struggles, and early tension between Seok Hoon and Hyo Min. Character posters also reveal a clear contrast between Seok Hoon’s calm, controlled personality and Hyo Min’s nervous but determined expression.
