Flex X Cop

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.

How is my day? It's not going well as it my new fav k-drama flex x cop just ended without no romance interaction between the main leads im sad but the mystery and thriller kinda paid for it i'm not complaining and ik it is exactly known for the romance genre but i would like some!! Other than that it is a perfect combination of mystery + thriller k-drama ever! All the cases investigated were all different and unique.

It's better than most of the so-called thriller dramas , it really is the underdog and most underrated dramas of all time because of the small details and banter around the characters yet serious at times and emotional so it's a solid 9/10.

Based on a format created by Sreda production company and a remake of the Russian television-series, 'Silver Spoon.' Flex x Cop is a South Korean adaption which follows an immature third-generation chaebol named Jin Isoo (Ahn Bo-hyun) who spends his evenings having fun and living without a cause. When he is falsely convicted for a felony that he did not commit by the team leader of the violent crime division, Lee Gang-hyun (Park Ji-hyun). The police department works to make amends by stationing him as a police detective. Jin Isoo is berated by his colleagues for having a privileged background yet he ultimately proves his competency once he utilizes his intellect and his resources towards solving investigations.

Ahn Bo-hyun was the perfect choice to anchor this series as the leading man. His portrayal as Jin Isoo carries this season with much needed charisma since the narrative structure is quite clichéd and predictable in certain areas. Although, the comedic delivery is well executed as there are numerous laugh-out-loud moments that keep the viewer entertained and the minimal action sequences are sharply choreographed infused with sleek editing. The character-development is lacking which is why I didn't feel as attached to the characters as I should have in the beginning. But all of the performances from the supporting cast members manage to uplift the roles that they are given and make them their own. Particularly Kwak Siyang as Jin Seung-ju, who is a shoulder to lean on as the older sibling of the family. Sharing solid on-screen chemistry with Ahn Bo-hyun.

The "whodunit" cases keep the viewer engaged on who the culprit may be throughout the entirety of the season and this provides the audience with much to look forward to in the second season since director Kim Jae-hong and writer Kim Ba-da will be returning.

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.
