Beyond the Bar

Law drama
Instead of adult cases, focuses on juvenile cases

The shows mix serious moments with humor and heart, and both feature strong support from friends and coworkers. They also show how love and connection help the main characters grow. Both stories inspire us to see the value in people who are different.

While LOVE SCOUT is very romance-centric, BEYOND THE BAR takes a romantic direction with two people who know what they want in life. We find the circle of legal work, family trauma on both sides, and a slow-burn romance. The overall aesthetic is the same as well.

Law and accounting are similar office settings. Even if the court isn't omnipresent like in BEYOND THE BAR, the atmosphere and the new young employees within the structure can give some similarities. There is also a very light romance side that is almost nonexistent, even if in BEYOND THE BAR the romance seems more present.

A profession close to the law, with a team of young people and a mentor, we can find similarities for the two dramas with different cases to resolve.
