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.

A Thrilling Blend of Action, Mystery, and Character-Driven Drama
Flex X Cop quickly became one of my favorite K-dramas of 2024. The story hooked me from the beginning, focusing on Jin Yi Soo, a chaebol who unexpectedly joins the police force. Each episode brought new cases and developments, ensuring there was never a dull moment. I loved how the show balanced its fast-paced narrative with deeper emotional moments.Ahn Bo Hyun's portrayal of Jin Yi Soo was phenomenal. He managed to capture the essence of a privileged chaebol transitioning into a competent and dedicated police officer. His character's growth throughout the series felt genuine and compelling. The chemistry between Ahn Bo Hyun and Park Ji Hyun, who plays the female lead, was another highlight. Their evolving relationship from initial disdain to mutual respect and partnership added a rich layer to the story without relying on romance, which I found refreshing.
The direction and cinematography were also top-notch. The action scenes were exciting and well-executed, and the emotional scenes were handled with sensitivity, making the show visually and emotionally engaging. I appreciated the balance of light-hearted and serious moments, which kept the tone fresh and engaging throughout the series.
The soundtrack complemented the drama perfectly, enhancing the atmosphere without overpowering the scenes. Although the music wasn't the standout element for me, it definitely supported the overall experience and helped maintain the show's tone.
What impressed me most was the show's ability to stay unpredictable. Each episode brought something new and exciting, and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat. The character development was thorough, and each supporting character had their own story, which added depth to the narrative.
Overall, Flex X Cop is a must-watch. It's a perfect blend of action, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. I found myself eagerly anticipating each episode, and now I'm hoping for a second season to see more of these characters and their stories. If you're a fan of K-dramas that offer a bit of everything; action, humor, emotional depth. This series is definitely worth your time.

A Match Made in Crime: The Unexpected Pairs That Stole Our Hearts
Okay, so let me just start by saying that I didn’t expect to get so hooked on *Flex X Cop*. Honestly, I started watching it thinking I might drop it after a few episodes—like, "Okay, this is probably just another typical crime drama, right?" Well, WRONG. This show completely snuck up on me.First things first, if you’re someone who needs a bit of romance to stay invested in a show, let me give you a little tip: make sure you get through at least the first four episodes. I know, I know—it might seem slow at first, especially if you’re waiting for that spark between the leads. But trust me, it’s worth the wait. The chemistry between Jin Yi Soo (our chaebol-turned-cop) and Detective Lee Kang Hyun doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s more of a “we don’t like each other at all” to “hey, maybe you’re not so bad” vibe, which is refreshing because it feels so natural and unforced.
And speaking of Jin Yi Soo, let’s talk about how much of a gem this character is. He’s got everything—he’s funny, witty, a bit of a show-off, and somehow manages to be both smart and adorably clueless at the same time. Ahn Bo Hyun was absolutely the perfect choice for this role. Seriously, every time he pulls out one of his fancy moves or just flashes that smile, I’m like, “Yep, this guy is killing it.” Oh, and his hair? Immaculate. I’ve never seen gelled hair look so good episode after episode.
Now, about the cases—they’re not the super complex, mind-bending type that leaves you questioning everything. They’re more like, “Oh, I didn’t see that coming!” and then you find yourself completely drawn into solving it alongside Yi Soo. What’s cool is how the show plays with the idea of how a rich guy would tackle these cases versus how a regular detective would. It’s a fun dynamic that keeps things fresh.
And then there’s the slow-burn romance. Let me tell you, I am HERE for it. At first, Kang Hyun (the female lead) can be a bit annoying, and I was like, “Girl, why are you so difficult?” But as the episodes roll on, she starts to open up, and I found myself really rooting for her. The whole enemies-to-friends trope is done so well—it doesn’t feel rushed or forced. Every little moment between them feels earned, you’re totally invested.
As for the story overall, it’s been super engaging. The drama does a great job of building tension and keeping you guessing, especially when it comes to Yi Soo’s mysterious past. The cases might be simple, but they’re never boring, and the way the leads’ relationship develops alongside these cases is just spot on.
So yeah, Flex X Cop isn’t perfect—there are definitely a few moments that made me raise an eyebrow (like, how did Yi Soo manage to hypnotize a specialist?), but honestly, I’m willing to overlook those because the show is just so much fun. Plus, the cast is fantastic, from the main leads to the supporting characters. Everyone just fits, and that makes the whole experience that much better.
In short, if you’re looking for something that’s entertaining, has a bit of everything—comedy, action, mystery, and a dash of romance—then give Flex X Cop a go. You won’t regret it. And if you do, well, at least you’ll get to see Ahn Bo Hyun looking ridiculously handsome while solving crimes. I call that a win-win!

Unexpectedly Fun
I went into Flex x Cop without high expectations, thinking it might be just another action-comedy drama but I ended up genuinely enjoying it. It’s not filled with mind-blowing twists or intense suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Instead, it offers a blend of lighthearted comedy, mild action, and a dash of mystery that makes it a fun watch overall.The cases aren’t particularly thrilling or complex, but they’re enjoyable in a casual, entertaining way. What surprised me most was the romance. Usually, I’m not big on romantic subplots, but in this drama, I actually found myself rooting for the main leads to end up together. Even though that didn’t happen, the ending still felt good and satisfying.
The casting was spot-on, especially the male lead his performance stood out and carried much of the show for me. He brought so much charm and energy that it made the whole drama more engaging. If you're looking for something light, fun, and easy to watch with likable characters and decent chemistry, Flex x Cop is worth checking out.

Refreshing and emotional
Very refreshing! I normally watch romance so I wasn't initially gonna watch this but when I started it was so addictive. Its hard to pinpoint exactly why it was well done but here are a few things: character development of the ML and FL relationship was smooth and the conflict didnt last long (they have great chemistry), no one is made purely evil to fit the villian they all have their reasons, a fresh take on detective series, ML is a fun character but with realistic emotions, even tho it has a closed ending it proves how gud it was that people want a season 2 based on the characters, lastly I barely finish dramas to the 16th epsiode so I'm telling u this is special, the episodes flew by.The only slight criticism I would give it would be the editing initially can be a bit choppy on scenes but it improves.
Would seriously recommend it!

It’s so good but underrated
I love this drama. I watched it when it first came out and the first ep just hooked me onto the drama. I just love the main character’s show off nature - idk how else to describe it but yet he is an emotional and unstable character who just needed his parents :((I rewatch it 24/7. It has a thrill of an ongoing case and defo amusement from the way he solves the cases using his powers / money and brains.
highly recommend to watch - I watched it on Disney and enjoy watching it cause you’ll defo like it

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Flex x Cop '' is a remake of the Russian series '' Silver Spoon '', with a Korean twist of course.The drama offers a lot of cases that the investigation team is called to solve, in their delightfully whimsical way. That way the main plot doesn't get stuffy, and the drama does indeed focus on the police enforcement, and doesn't simply give a few at the start only to excite the audience and then try to keep things interesting with unnecessary melodrama for the second half.
The main mystery case was also interesting and twisty and enhanced the drama of the characters more.
The characters, moreover, where all interesting and had smooth chemistry.
The performances, therefore, were all great and everyone did a great job with their characters.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

In my opinion, this drama is light, good acting, and really like the actors, very good for family viewing, doesn't have scenes that are too mature, this is really recommended in my opinion,This is a drama that tells the story of a rich man's son who was involved with a victim of a wrongful arrest which resulted in him being jailed for 1 day, after which an argument occurred between him and his father.after that he was appointed as a policeman and he carried it out well and The plot twist is also there and that's enoughWas this review helpful to you?
THE BEST DRAMA OF 2024 SO FAR!
A new insight to South Korea's conglomerate family. I am glad that it didnot have any complexity like other conglomerate family dramas. For the first time, I watched a drama which showed a different side of an so-called illegitimate child. Most of the dramas show them spoiled and so on. But this drama was something different. Acting skills were par excellence. Ahn bo hyun did an amazing job of carrying on the whole drama just by his spectacular acting. The chemistry between Park ji hyun and Ahn bo hyun was something else. It didnot need romance honestly. The last episode made me cry. There is a big plot twist at the end. I hope the same cast will carry on the season 2.Was this review helpful to you?
One of my new favs
I must say, this drama positively surprised me. I didn't think it would be this good, but it is. It has become one of my new favorite shows, and I am so glad it is getting a season 2.The beginning of the show started with little investigation stories and evolved into a bigger plot. I love all the characters, especially Jin Isoo. I love his personality, and the actor is portraying it so well! In general, the acting is amazing, but I must say that Jin Isoo/Ahn Bo-hyun stood out to me. When he cried, I had to cry. He made me laugh often, and I never really got mad or annoyed at him.
There was some romance, which I enjoyed and am glad was there because it made the show even better.
I like how there were many different cases we could discover that were connected to some characters. And it really rose from smaller cases to bigger cases. Already excited for season 2. Can't wait!
