The best outcome of watching Flex X Cop is that I finally got over my aversion to Ahn Bo Hyun. His character was so despicable in Itaewon Class, that I stopped watching Yumi's Cells when he appeared as the love interest! I was like, no way, no how. He'd sneak up on me in supporting roles, and that helped, somewhat, to desensitize me, but I think this drama has erased the visceral reaction I've had to him. Chalk it up to good acting; I have nothing against the actor. He was perfect in this role (he was perfect in Itaewon Class, too, but eww!).

The initial fish-out-of-water scenes with ML as a pseudo-police officer were crazy and chaotic. I loved the brashness and sheer bravado of the ML. Then, it became predictable. I kept saying to myself, "Please don't let XXX be the baddie!" It would have been refreshing if it hadn't turned out that way, but the drama fell into an old cliche. Very disappointing. It was fun until then. I'm thinking season two, with all the childhood trauma behind him, could allow the zany, fun side of the character to return.

I must make mention of ML's stylist. His ensembles were amazing. Even great coats, watches, shoes... the whole look was sharp and perfectly chaebol.
