Flex X Cop

Flex X Cop is that rare breed of k-drama that strikes the right balance between action hero drama, intelligent plotting and the feelgood payoff of the positive relationships depicted in the police team. Our rich, shallow playboy transforms into an effective lawman with only a few hiccups along the way in convincing fashion.

The cast is inspired - Ahn Bo Hyun's star is clearly on the rise and deservedly so, his ability to convey drama, hilarity and moving emotion is impressive. He's clearly having a ball playing Jin Isoo and a second season has been confirmed.

Park Ji Hyun is as reliable as ever as the calm, dedicated detective and the adorable maknae + secondary romance works ok.

All round restraint for the mad stepmother storyline and the brother's arc is compelling viewing.

Re-watch value/10.

I was a bit concerned when this series first started that it was going to be a bit silly, but so glad I was proven wrong. Ahn Bo-Hyun is a truly excellent and accomplished actor, and he really does show different sides to his character very convincingly. There were 2 good mysteries too which ran throughout the entire series, as well as the more procedural mysteries, which kept it all very intriguing. A really good series and I hope the rumours of a series 2 are true.

Ahn Bo-Hyun has truly shown how versatile he is. He has such good comic timing, is great at action and is very easy on the eye too! Whilst there was no romance in this series, if there is a series 2 then let's see if anything happens with the female lead!

This detective drama does a lot of what I've not seen much of - it blends the working class with the chaebol world convincingly and with heart.

It gets you going from the start with action, and the sense that you're dealing with your typical spoiled chaebol, but wait...that's actually not the case. At all. A series of events leads this rich young man to a rare opportunity as a working detective.

A police badge opens many doors. Money opens even more. I'm sure you can imagine that the combination is both blessing and at times a curse (lack of respect from colleagues).

Each episode has a case to be solved, but there is a thread of background story that also eventually is also resolved. So now we have lots of emotional yet satisfying resolution, but we also have beloved characters and their methods of working together as a foundation for season 2 - which is already confirmed, and which I'm absolutely looking forward to.

Four episodes in and am hooked by this lighter detective series with excellent comic tones. Part of the appeal is that this doesn't take the darker sides of the genre too seriously. Even so, as of episode four clearly there's some unpleasant family history for the "not real silver spoon" who fears small rodents despite his considerable size. Don't let the opening mall raid put you off. Quickly becomes obvious what that's all about. The lead's face is wonderfully expressive for comedy. Such a handsome "ham" is he. Very nice cinematography. Interesting collection of supporting and side characters. Social class issues definitely in play. If the DARK side is what you're after, this doesn't appear to be it. But if a mix of fun, some thrills, nice visuals and solid acting for entertainment without smacking the grey matter hard is what you're after then this might be the ticket.

How is my day? It's not going well as it my new fav k-drama flex x cop just ended without no romance interaction between the main leads im sad but the mystery and thriller kinda paid for it i'm not complaining and ik it is exactly known for the romance genre but i would like some!! Other than that it is a perfect combination of mystery + thriller k-drama ever! All the cases investigated were all different and unique.

It's better than most of the so-called thriller dramas , it really is the underdog and most underrated dramas of all time because of the small details and banter around the characters yet serious at times and emotional so it's a solid 9/10.
