The JTBC weekend drama ‘Beyond the Bar’ (Esquire), written by Park Mi Hyeon and directed by Kim Jae-hong, is back with episode 11 airing on the 6th at 10:40 PM.
This week’s story brings Yoon Seok-hun (Lee Jin-wook) into focus—not as a lawyer, but as a client of the Yullim Litigation Team. Unlike his sharp, flawless image in public, Seok-hun hides the scars of a failed marriage. He’s been quietly co-parenting a dog named Hash with his ex-wife, struggling with the gap in their values on love.
His ex-wife, Seol Yeon-a (Ji Yi-soo), has since remarried his high school friend Jung Won-joon (Lee Sang-yeob). That setup has left Seok-hun stuck watching his old friend build a new family with his former partner, and it’s drawn sympathy from viewers as his personal life suddenly moves into the spotlight.

Released stills show Seok-hun facing Won-joon inside the Yullim office. Sitting there as a client rather than a lawyer, his look is described as even more resolute than before, sparking curiosity about what pushed him into this position.

Standing by him are his team members—Lee Jin-U (Lee Hak-joo) and newcomer Kang Hyo-min (Jung Chae-yeon). The two lawyers show their loyalty by backing up their team leader in heated exchanges that even leave Jung Won-joon speechless.
The dynamic between Lee Jin-wook and Lee Sang-yeob, along with the growing tension in Yullim, makes episode 11 of ‘Beyond the Bar’ one of the more anticipated broadcasts for fans of Korean dramas.
