Seok-hoon, taking the case, left his colleagues shocked, including Hyo-min. In episode 4 of Beyond the Bar, Hyo-min is sent to meet the housekeeper to learn about her side of the story.

However, she later finds out that Yeong-suk has police cases for fraudulent activities and theft, which makes her question whether Yeong-suk was telling the truth.

Beyond The Bar Episode 4 recap: Seok-hoon finds a way to punish Cheol-min

Before, he condemned Yeong-suk for troubling Cheol-min, Seok-hoon went to meet his daughter, and was sure that the young girl was being abused. However, as he tells Hyo-min that it is difficult to get Cheol-min punished with the help of the law, as it would end up harming the child more, he was also plotting an elaborate plan to make the monstrous man pay.

He was trying to build a case against him by proving that he was embezzling money from his boss, Tae-seong. While he informs Tae-seong about it and promises to help him get his money back, Cheol-min calls him, telling him to save him from the cops, as his daughter might have run away.

However, Seok-hoon finds the child, In-yeong, hiding in her closet, hiding. He takes her with him, telling Cheol-min that he will take care of the evidence to save him. In the hospital, Seok-hoon learns that In-yeong would need surgery. This enrages Seok-hoon, and he goes back to Cheol-min’s house and beats him black and blue. Later, he helps Tae-seong get all his money back from Cheol-min, leaving him bankrupt, while In-yeong goes to live with his mother.

Taking care of In-yeong brings back Seok-hoon’s longing for a child, which he could not have as his ex-wife was not ready to have a child. However, at the end of episode 5 of Beyond the Bar, Seok-hoon finds out that his ex-wife, now married to his high-school friend, is expecting a child with him, which leaves him more devastated.
