Beyond the Bar soundtrack: Every song from the Netflix's legal K-drama

Beyond the Bar is a 2025 legal-themed K-drama that began airing on JTBC on August 2, with episodes released every Saturday and Sunday. The series is written by Park Mi-hyun, directed by Kim Jae-hong, and consists of 12 episodes, each running roughly 70 minutes.

The drama centers on Kang Hyo-min (played by Jung Chae-yeon), an idealistic and socially awkward rookie lawyer who joins Yullim Law Firm. She is quickly paired with Yoon Seok-hoon (portrayed by Lee Jin-wook), a partner lawyer known for his brilliant legal skills and intimidating presence.

The narrative unfolds through a series of weekly legal cases that test their ethics, courtroom savviness, and personal growth. Though they clash frequently, Hyo-min and Seok-hoon learn from each other and evolve, both professionally and personally.

Beyond the Bar concluded on September 7, bringing its intense legal conspiracy to a dramatic end. The final episode resolved the high-stakes corporate case, exposing fraud and leading to the expulsion of corrupt executives from Yullim Law Firm. However, while the legal battles were resolved, the series left audiences stunned by its unfinished romantic subplot.
