Flex x Cop

I was delaying watching this series because of it's rating and I thought it would be boring or has a dump ending or something but surprisingly it was so exciting and it's end was a bit dramatic but so well written I loved everything about the series the cases were pretty interesting good acting , good directing and very good script I had so much fun watching this . The first two cases were a bit less interesting but later it got better and better with a little bit of comedy that made the drama really fun to watch seriously one of the best series to watch in 2024 highly recommended for someone that doesn't want to watch a typical kdrama can't wait for season two hope they still have good ideas for the cases.

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.

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.

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.

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!
