BEYOND pleasantly surprised!
The trailers looked silly, and Ahn Bo Hyun has never been one of my favorites. He's always been that support character that I've enjoyed well enough, but he hasn't wowed me when he's been the lead. All of that has changed with Flexx Cop. But let's back up a little to initial thoughts.STORY: A chaebol that is used to playing RPG, suddenly finds himself as a cop. This could have gone quickly bad if he had been made out to be stupid. I loved how he was able to look at cases from a different perspective that the cops hadn't thought of. I also loved how he seemed to throw money at almost every case, providing help/resources that only his massive wealth could bring. I'm a big fan of having a case take just a little over an episode. This keeps it from being drawn out needlessly and keeps things moving.
Friendships: I loved to watch the development with the four main characters. Impatience/mistrust/dislike turn to caring and trust. I was halfway through the drama when it struck me how organically the friendships developed. With each case, the other cops grew to like Yi Soo. I love how they came to appreciate/like Yi Soo and were there to support him and keep him safe when he was struggling.
Romance: Hmmm. Okay, so I'll admit I'm a dyed-in-the-wool romantic. I thought the story line of the cop and the medical examiner was cute. However, I wasn't feeling it between Yi Soo and Kang Hyun. I think the writers purposely didn't develop in, knowing that they would have a season 2. I just really enjoyed them getting to know one another and coming to depend on each other.
ACTING: Excellent. Ahn Bo Hyun owned this role. He could have come off as obnoxious, but he played it so innocent that you couldn't help but like him from the get-go. He really had to run the gamut of emotions in this role, and he nailed every one of them. The scene toward the end with Yi Soo and Kang Hyun's mother just about broke my heart. Everyone was excellent in their roles, Kwak Shi Yang as Seung Joo kept me guessing for quite some time. I was disappointed in the direction he took, but I realize that's the only way it could go. I really liked the casting of Kim Shin Bi as Hyung Jin, the youngest cop of the group. He had the sweet innocence that played nicely against the more seasoned and jaded cops. The hero worship he had for Yi Soo was so fun.
MUSIC: There were some nice songs that faded into the background.
REWATCH VALUE: Usually, the only shows I rewatch are the good romantic scenes from shows I've watched. However, this was so good I'm going to watch it again right away!
WISH LIST FOR SEASON TWO: I'm not normally a fan of a show having a second season, because it's all been done in season one. Going from dislike to working together as a team - that was a big part of this season, and one of the things that made it so enjoyable. I don't know how the writers plan to do this, but I hope that they keep the format of a case an episode. And if you can't give us a good, hot, chemistry-filled, believable romance, just leave the romance out. They are great as friends.
Honestly, I can't get over how much I enjoyed this show!

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***

This Korean Drama has a little bite to it.
This is an interesting drama. How do you categorize it? This is the story about the youngest son of the richest chaebol. He is pampered and a social media darling, but his greatest passion is to be a SWAT team member. This dismays his dad. It stars Ahn Bohyun. He is famous for his sculpted body and it is on display in the drama. That is just the gravy. What I really like about Flex X Cop is the actual Police drama part. Everything looks so realistic and orchestrated to have a real crime scene feel. In addition, the drama has some of the cleanest “fight” action I have seen in a drama. Ahn Bohyun must be a real AMA fighter. His “fight” movement is so authentic and crisp. It did not look forced and pretentious, like regular drama fight scenes do.The drama also has a strong female lead, Park Ji-Hyun. Please, really pay attention to the fight scenes! At first, I was going to pass up Flex X Cop, but this drama really has a little teeth to it. I am going to go with this one. Flex X Cop is interestingly entertaining.
Ahn Bohyun—See You In My 19th Life, Yummy Cells, Military Prosecutor Doberman, and Descendants of the Sun.
Park Ji-Hyun—I love this actress from Reborn Rich, Rookie Historian,The King In Love and Do You Like Brahms?

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.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
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!

It was a perfect blend of emotional, funny, action, detective work. I really enjoyed Ahn Bo Hyun's character. I also enjoyed the way all the characters developed. It was fun to see them becoming a team and working so well together.
The cases they worked on were interesting and that plot twist at the end was oooof! I would absolutely watch it again and am hoping they follow through with a second season!

Pleasantly Surprised
First of all, this drama gives strong Taxi Driver (which I loved) vibes in that there’s a new case each episode, and unique approaches and devices are utilized in the solving of them. It differs significantly, though, in that these are actual detectives and an actual chaebol/detective working actual crimes. I enjoyed immensely that it didn’t copy a formula, it took elements from it and made a whole new formula of its own.I appreciated that the backstory from childhood was doled out intermittently between case solving. So you were getting regular closure on the one hand, with periodic clues about the ongoing questions about the past and present. This was smart directing and when the big culmination of truth is revealed, the timing and energy felt exactly right.
I enjoyed the duality of the leads, and several of the supporting cast as well. Being driven in your work but still capable of reflection and altering one’s opinions and biases. Learning to see oneself through an accumulation of small successes, not chance of birth or survived trauma. Coming to appreciate that different approaches can still lead to shared goals. Shedding a predatory career path for one of integrity. There was just a lot of well written character development here.
The romantic innuendo was beautifully subtle, and the friendships were naturally built and strong. Every cast member brought their A game, but Ahn BoHyun’s character arc was masterful. You could always see that his heart was good from the beginning, but the level to which he took what could have been a justifiable descent into a vengeful rage and instead just became an even better person was an inspiration.
Lastly, it’s rare to see a drama this well tied up promise a 2nd season. It’s definitely primed for one, and I love that it’s not based on loose ends; it’s based on a solid premise with characters we’ve come to care about continuing the story.

Anh Bo Hyun nailed it!
The only regret I had is to not wait till the show is finish first before watching, because the weekly wait was killing me!I really love the characters in this show, especially the nice uncle who stayed by In Soo all this while. It's sweet seeing such dedication and sincerity in these days.
The storyline is pretty predictable in a way, but it doesn't mean it's boring. In Soo basically brings comedy, action, and excitement into this otherwise average plot.
I really enjoy every episode, the pacing is right, it keeps me excited and wanting for more.
I also love how loose ends up are all tied up with a solid ending, and potential for S2?
Anh Bo Hyun definitely did it again. His acting was so good especially in the last episode. I could really feel his heart sank, it's heartbreaking. Also, he is hot af, which is a big bonus!!
I can't wait for S2 and more of his show!!!

interesting and fun to watch
i loved it. give it a try and find out for yourself. a different plot from the usual ordinary police trying to catch evil cheabols. now we have a cheabol assisting with his weird ways. I loved his relationship with his brother. it was refreshing to see that they did not fight over the company like most other dramas. I thought he really cared about his little brother, but you know. tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttt iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeerreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ssssssssssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyEsta resenha foi útil para você?
