Beyond the Bar

Episode 7 : Love in all it’s colors.

The concept that ‘Love is like a Rainbow’ was unique. Red for passion which then cools to Warmth i.e. Orange. Later it is sharing & caring. Naturally, one assumes that now, the love earlier is all gone in our routine. But actually, we become more settled, mature & hence confident in our relationship.

With 7.044 % viewership, it showed that people like it.

A teacher develops Alzheimer’s disease. She forgets her favorite students & many things at home. On medication, when she watches a hit & run from her balcony, as a lawyer Yoon Seok hoon, shows that her witness statement is not dependable.

When her husband is arrested for assisting her suicide, Yoon Seok hoon takes it on himself to rescue him. The husband is unwilling, yet he represents him. The court sentences him to an year of imprisonment.

She had requested it. She wanted to have quality time when alive. But the court cannot make exceptions & the ruling was against him. Instead of three years he got one.

Her brother wanted him to be punished for having an affair & assisting her suicide. So he had filed the case.

Episode 8: Wonder Woman. The viewership saw a rise. At 8.681% it is the highest till date. With four more episodes.

Kang Hyo min ‘s room mate & her friend since high school, finds her sister in jail. She has assaulted her husband. He is admitted to the hospital. She is a famous TV anchor & the press is relentless. The doctors have prescribed her with medicines for her depression. It is a scene from ‘One Spring Night’. Han Ji min ‘s famous sister is a TV anchor. Married to a dentist, gets abused frequently. She has pictures in her locker at home.

Domestic abuse or domestic violence is again addressed with Heo Min jeong. Her ex husband & his mother come to her in office. But the way she handles them is proper & without losing her composure.

To assist their defense the doctor & the lawyers watch her & take note of the violent behavior she displays. Hyo min believes she can use the doctor as her witness & have her way.

But she tells Hyo min that she feels like a ‘wonder woman’ when she has the medicine. She also reveals that she has cameras installed to watch what happens when she takes the medicine.

Her senior, Yoon Seok asks her to use her own judgement. They have entered the profession to protect the weak. Her husband is a habitual abuser. His wife never raising her voice has found a way to silence him.

She says she has watched the video again & again . The three friends also watch it. Her sister finds it sad & starts crying.

In court, she helps the ‘wonder woman’ to get the verdict of ‘not guilty’! She believed he deserved the beating, once in his life.

Earlier I gathered that they are close enough to exchange stories & discuss their families. Also Hyo min is sitting in the back seat with her boss. Remember she was sitting with the driver in an earlier episode.

The final scene where Yoon Seok & Kang Hyo min sit on the chairs on the rooftop, it is straight out of ‘Boston Legal’. Only the exchanges would be more amusing.
