JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama “Beyond the Bar” has hinted at an unexpected chemistry between its two contrasting leads!
“Beyond the Bar” follows the story of Kang Hyo Min (Jung Chaeyeon), an upstanding and confident yet inexperienced rookie attorney at the law firm Yullim. Under the mentorship of Yoon Seok Hoon (Lee Jin Uk), a cold but exceptionally skilled partner attorney, Hyo Min gradually grows into a true lawyer as she navigates the challenges of the legal world.
Yoon Seok Hoon is the epitome of a perfectionist—cool-headed, precise, and even creatively strategic when needed. In contrast, Kang Hyo Min is driven by passion and sharp instincts, but her unpredictable charm often throws others off.
These two opposites end up working together on Yullim’s high-stakes litigation team, setting the stage for a work life that’s anything but ordinary. As viewers grow curious about the chaos their partnership might stir up, newly released stills offer a sneak peek into their contrasting daily routines.
True to his “by-the-book” image, Yoon Seok Hoon is seen arriving in a perfectly tailored suit and fully immersed in case documents at his desk—an ideal picture of a no-nonsense professional. With his arms crossed and brow furrowed, his strict demeanor exudes not only authority but also a powerful sense of professionalism.
Meanwhile, Kang Hyo Min is spotted carrying belongings nearly as big as herself, hinting at the hectic reality of a rookie attorney’s life. Yet even amidst the chaos, she’s poring over documents with unwavering enthusiasm, hinting at her potential for growth and resilience in the legal field.
As the litigation team handles everything from paperwork to field investigations, the fast-paced work environment promises plenty of action. All eyes are on how this intense setting will bring out the dynamic between the tiger-like team leader Yoon Seok Hoon and the eager newcomer Kang Hyo Min, whose polar-opposite styles spark a compelling office chemistry.
“Beyond the Bar” will premiere on August 2 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
