Great Show - Contrary to expectations.
Ok, I really liked this show!!!So while I do like most every genre of K-Drama, I prefer 사극 (historical k-dramas). That being said, the title and poster for this show in particular looked very "teen Disney-esque" and I hesitated watching it for a while. However, because I liked Ahn Bo Hyun in "Military Prosecutor Dobermann", and the ratings for this show seemed to be going up every week, I finally gave it a shot.
I wasn't convinced at first. The whole over the top rich guy act, the mall SWAT Team scene and a few other things had me very skeptical. But then it started to pick up steam and got better and better and better and - WOW!
The story was fleshed out nicely and you don't see the twist coming until the end. The acting was great and the character development was awesome. I really enjoyed how the team struggled initially but grew as a whole.
Can't wait for season 2

Typical but Refreshing plot
First of all The Casting of this drama was amazing, Ahn Bo hyun as the rich, spoilt yet kind brat was the best thing you’ll get to watch.I know the story is very typical classic crime/action comic drama plot and I am sure like me everyone will have correctly guessed the main culprit at the very beginning of the drama but guess what its still an enjoyable drama.
When I was watching the second week I wasn't sure if the wanted to continue if the plot hadn't evolved. And yes, thankfully the plot and minor character developments were already visible.
And from 5th episode onwards, there was no turning back, the drama really covered very interesting criminal cases which made each ep exciting.
I was gonna give an 8.5 coz I think they could've done better in the 1st 4 eps BUT I'm giving this drama story a solid 9 just for how beautiful the character developments were.
Overall its a VERY typical kdrama plot but due to different cases covered and how mischievous Ahn Bohyun acted, this drama became really Refreshing.

An amazing show with amazing Leads!!
I loved this show so much. everything about it is perfect. literally zero flaws. our main lead character is amazing. he is rich yet he is not arrogant. he knows what he is capable and not insecure. our female lead who is little bit cold but as the plot goes on you will find her so wholesome. i would rate this plot 10/10. each week there was a new case which kept me interested and wanting to watch more and more. comedy aspect of this show is really good too. our main leads gave us a good laugh. 🫶🏻🫶🏻many people did not liked female lead in the beginning. but as you watch it you will understand more about her and trust me by the end you’ll love her!!
i’m so glad there is a season where we can expect to see more cases and romance between two leads 💕
for me this is a 10/10 drama. i had so much fun watching. definitely in my top 10 list.

Could've Had a Better Ending with Different Villain
I really enjoyed this show and I'm looking forward to another season. I will say I was a bit disappointed with the ending. Please stop here if you don't want any spoilers...I was really disappointed who ended up being the villain and that his father was also killed. Just when it looked like the relationship between the ML and his father was finally coming around, the father is murdered. So the ML had no real family by his side anymore, just the crazy, lost-her-mind stepmother who treated the ML like crap his whole life. So the ML, Jin Isoo, lost his mother at a young age, then his father. It's kind of disappointing that the writers didn't leave him with any good familial relationships, except his secretary. I would've liked it better with a different villain (like the step-mother), and at least leaving the ML with his father and step brother. Also, I didn't like the way the father let his wife treat his son like crap, knowing what he knew.
Other than that, I loved the way that his involvement as part of the Violent Crimes Division evolved as well as the funny, comedic bromance and I actually liked that there was no romance involved. It is definitely rewatchable if you're a fan of Bo Hyun!

Interesting mix of genre
Flex X Cop is a drama that has an interesting mix of crime, action and comedy.The story plot focus on Kang Ha Police Station's Team 1 (consisting of FL Lee Kang Hyun, Park Joon Young, Choi Kyung Jin and the new addition chaebol ML Jin Yisoo) solving a series of crimes together. Yisoo, despite being a newly appointed detective, tried his best to solve crimes with the rest of the Team 1 using his connections and power as a Chaebol.
What I enjoyed about this drama was how some of the crime cases were cleverly weaved together as the stepping stone for the subsequent episodes. There are also plot twists within the drama, which makes Flex X Cop interesting to watch. I also liked how the drama show both the FL and ML personal backstory.
Acting wise, I personally enjoyed the synergy between the FL (Park Ji Hyun) and ML (Ahn Bo Hyun) and their skills were great.
I am excited to see what Flex X Cop 2 would be able to showcase in the future.

S1 tanked at the end
As late as ep 11/12 of 16 it was heading for 8-8.25 but I'm punishing it for the AWFUL final quarter. 12 eps of entertaining OTT buddy-cop fun with a nicely nuanced growth in the lead characters' relationships and perceptions of each other, then makjang madness meltdown.Paradoxically , the risible final quarter has made me MORE interested in checking to S2. If the makjang is all done, S2 MIGHT return to what S1 did best. S!'s final 4 it abandoned any pretence of the merest shred of credibility or internal coherence. It's very sad that it's opted for a traditional makjang "resolve" and utterly abandoned the entertaning OTT buddy-cop formula that worked so well for the first 12 eps. The finale is the stuff of weekenders or even worse, dailies. BUT, with the makjang family bakvaas out of the way, S2 might save it. Especially if there is NO romance between the leads

Let's just say the detective in me was awoken.....
I started this for Ahn Bo hyun and to be honest I stayed for the plot and how it was being told.This is a comedy mystery action drama about a rich chaebol who becomes a detective and meets with the other detectives on a certain team and then the rest is how they over come their differences and how they solve the various cases.
I think what grabbed me the most about this drama was how it involved solving different cases....and all those cases were written in an interesting manner so let's say it arroused the detective in me each time their was a case to solve...it was fun and Intriguing.
The story telling is good the brilliant mixture of comedy and mystery as well as thrill....was particularly interesting.
The characterisation was good too I couldn't picture any one as the characters and I love how all these characters especially the ones on the main team had different personalities so seeing them over come their differences and become close felt really satisfying plus the cast had amazing chemistry.
The acting was good...I enjoyed the suprise cameos that sort of had a relation to the casts previous projects.
This was an unexpected treat and I enjoyed every minute of it well let's say Iam still enjoying more considering I heard that it was also confirmed for a second season which I think is a good idea... considering the way the story is told feels continuous and I could watch multiple seasons of this drama.

WOW….Just WOW!!!
Been in a kdrama slump for a year now and this show brought me out of it!The pacing and way everything just unfolds is so satisfying and consistent. I’ve seen so many shows that start out this way and just fumble it all halfway into the show. But this drama is just consistent.
Each of the characters are intriguing and captivating. They’re basically onions😅. They all have depth to them and are written so well. Just when you think you have the km figured out another thing comes along and your like “wait what!?” I didn’t expect that.
In a show like this having a 1 dimensional character works against it. Even characters that only show up for 1-2 episodes also have a certain level of depth to them. This just shows how good of a show it is
Jin Isoo at first glance seems like those rich chaebols we always see who have so much money no personality or common sense. As we get to know him, we realize his recklessness and nonchalant attitude is cause by many things.
1. his mothers death
2. life with his father & stepmom
3. knowing he’s an illegitimate child and having to compensate for that.
A character like his is so easy to write off and make him the same way we’ve grown accustomed to but they kept showing us who he truly is underneath that façade.
GangHyun she is a character! At first I hated her and the way she treated Isoo but soon realized she rarely trusted people because of what her dad experienced. She was just scarred and it didn’t help Isoo was also the way he was
***will update this when the show ends***

Simply Perfect
This drama has everything you need to keep you glued to your seat. I enjoyed every single episode as it gives you enough scenes to cry, laugh, get excited, and feel intrigued. The cast and the stories/police cases perfectly fit, like an ensemble moving naturally just like life as it goes on, there was never a dull moment. Entertaining yet Ahn Bohyun's personal crisis cuts through your heart that you tear up ugly just like I did. The show's producers signified that a second season is coming soon and that would be something to look forward to. Give it a watch, I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I did.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Comedy, action, drama, mystery. A mix of everything.
Watching this series gave me a bit of everything. At first, it was a comedy with Ahn Bo Hyun being the rich guy trying to be a cop. All the investigations and action scenes were interesting and could engage me to keep waiting for next episode everytime. Later on, the drama got more intensed and again, Ahn Bo Hyun killed it. From funny and overdoing type of guy, he turned into a sad and misfortunated person. All the crying scenes really convinced me to feel pity for him. Cannot wait for season 2 which I hope there could be more romantic scene between the leads.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Solid Action/Crime Drama that captivates you from beginning to End
If you are thinking of watching this then please do! It is a solid watch with lots of different cases. A lot of 16 episodes kdrama seem to lose its steam around ep 10-12 but this one keeps the momentum the whole way through. The character growth between all the main characters was also very good to see.Recommend!
