4 Key Points to Watch as 'Flex X Cop 2' Premieres Today

SBS Friday-Saturday 'cider' universe icon "Flex X Cop 2" is finally making its refreshing return with cool-headed investigations starting today (August 7).

Premiering tonight, August 7, at 9:50 PM KST, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Flex X Cop 2" (written by Kim Ba-da, directed by Kim Jae-hong) is a delightful, exhilarating, and satisfying 'cider' cooperative investigative drama starring Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), a chaebol detective who turns the tables with his immense wealth whenever investigations hit a wall, alongside new team leader Joo Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae).

Even before its broadcast, the show has entered Good Data Corporation's TV drama buzz TOP 10 ranking, generating high anticipation. Here are four core points to watch highlighted by the production team.

# Unleashing True Wealth: High-End 'Cider' Cooperative Investigation

Starting from the very first episode with a homemade bomb terror incident, spectacular cases spanning action, horror, and noir unfold. Whenever an investigation stalls, Jin Yi-soo deploys private jets and mobilizes real estate transactions, delivering an unprecedented level of flex-driven investigation that will blast away the summer heat.

# The Return of Jin Yi-soo: A Master of Madness and Wealth

Jin Yi-soo, the chaebol detective who previously wiped out criminals by using his massive wealth, connections, brilliant mind, and various skills mastered as hobbies as cheat keys, returns with even stronger charms. Having completed formal police academy training, Jin Yi-soo is set to deliver a sharp and polished performance, combining his signature lovable nuisance charm with professional investigative skills.

# Completed "Tight Discipline Chemistry" with the Addition of Jung Eun-chae

In this season, Jung Eun-chae joins the cast, breathing fresh energy into Violent Crime Team 1. Stepping up as Joo Hye-ra, the "devil team leader" and former counter-terrorism team ace, Jung Eun-chae creates a strangely opposing and synergistic dynamic with Jin Yi-soo, her former police academy student and attention-seeking detective, adding vibrant energy to the series.

# An "Ultra-Luxurious Special Appearance Lineup" Reminiscent of an Awards Ceremony

Led by Yoo Seung-ho transforming into a mysterious chaebol character, a massive lineup of popular actors including Kim Eui-sung, Lee Hak-joo, Heo Sung-tae, Jung Chae-yeon, Jeon Hye-bin, and Joo Hyun-young step up, heightening unpredictable immersion in every episode.

The production team shared, "We have prepared everything richly, from even more cunning villains and more extravagant flexing by Yi-soo to a larger scale and the fun of watching the special appearance actors. Unconventional and fascinating cases that cannot be seen in other dramas will unfold. It is a work you can enjoy refreshingly on a hot summer night, so we ask that you tune in live."

"Flex X Cop 2" premieres tonight (the 7th) at 9:50 PM KST, following "Agent Kim Reactivated".
