Flex X Cop Episode 3 Review

The episode is super fun to watch and highly intriguing. Apart from the interesting crime cases and the way they’re solved, I-soo character makes the investigation cool. He uses his influence to find hints quickly and how his mind works in jotting the pieces is extraordinary. Moreover, the other three cops especially Gang-hyun’s skills are also top-notch as she also quickly realises the true scenario and finds the killer.

It’s nice to see Ahn Bo-hyun in such a bratty spoiled rich guy character however he is kind and is internally sad. The scene where he arranges a funeral for Ina shows that he understands how hard it is to live a lonely life. He yearns for true people but he hardly has them around. Hopefully, this cop team will show him that he is no longer alone and his love life will spark with the best woman, Gang-hyun.
