In 'Flex x Cop 2', Ahn Bo-hyun provided thrilling catharsis as he cleared the stigma of being a 'criminal who used drugs and committed murder' with the help of Violent Crimes Team 1.

In the 11th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Flex x Cop 2' (produced by Studio S, Big Ocean ENM, BA Entertainment), which aired on the 11th (Friday), an unprecedented crisis unfolded where Jin I-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) was framed for murdering his friend Kim Young-hwan (played by Choi Dong-gu) and imprisoned, alongside the desperate struggle of Joo Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae) and Violent Crimes Team 1 to prove his innocence. Along with this, 'Flex x Cop 2' recorded a peak viewership rating of 7.6%, a metropolitan area rating of 6.7%, and a 2049 rating peak of 2.7%. (Based on Nielsen Korea)

On this day, after waking up in the morning, Jin I-soo fell into shock upon finding Kim Young-hwan lying dead and covered in blood in his living room. However, his memories of the previous night were not clear. All Jin I-soo remembered was that he had an argument with Kim Young-hwan, who had entered his house without permission, and that he lost consciousness immediately after a handshake following Kim Young-hwan's last suggestion before leaving the house. Since the murder occurred in a house where only the two were present, Jin I-soo instantly became a murder suspect. Furthermore, Team Leader Kang of the Criminal Investigation Unit (played by Lim Hyun-sung), who usually viewed Jin I-soo unfavorably, urgently arrested Jin I-soo, and the situation worsened before Violent Crimes Team 1 could intervene.

Circumstances pointing to Jin I-soo as the culprit continued to pour in. Drug substances were detected in Jin I-soo's body, and even a recording was secured where he reportedly reported to the police, "I killed a person." Additionally, psychiatric treatment records became an issue, and as the incident was widely reported, Jin I-soo fell from a star detective to a murder suspect overnight. Jin I-soo suspected that Kim Young-hwan had administered drugs to him through contact via the handshake, but there was no proper way to prove this. The aftermath of the incident was also intense. Members of Violent Crimes Team 1 underwent intense audits, and Chairman Choi (played by Kim Myung-soo) also faced intense questioning at the Hansu Group board meeting and was under pressure to resign.

To make matters worse, Yoo Seong-won (played by Yoo Seung-ho) further fueled Jin I-soo's confusion. Visiting the holding cell's visitation room, Yoo Seong-won told Jin I-soo, who was denying the murder charges, "I somehow felt this day would come. Think about how good it felt when you stabbed Young-hwan hyung. That is who you are." Yoo Seong-won's mad obsession, identifying himself with Jin I-soo and digging into his inner self as a serial killer, created a sense of dread.

Moreover, Yoo Seong-won's words accurately struck Jin I-soo's weakest point. While trying to ignore his sophistry, Jin I-soo began to doubt himself, wondering if his latent violence had surfaced while under the influence of drugs and caused him to kill Kim Young-hwan. The sight of Jin I-soo, who had always broken through cases with confidence, being unable to trust even himself for the first time maximized the sense of crisis.

However, Violent Crimes Team 1 believed in Jin I-soo until the end. While investigating the neighbors of Jin I-soo, Joo Hye-ra met popular singer Go Dan-bi (played by Min Kyoung Ah) and secured decisive testimony that a suspicious man had entered Jin I-soo's house on the day of the incident. Sensing that Jin I-soo had fallen into someone's meticulous trap, Joo Hye-ra even suspected Yoo Seong-won's scheme, but she could not find an immediate link between the two.

Then, the refreshing counterattack of Violent Crimes Team 1 began. They overturned the evidence used by the Criminal Investigation Unit to point to Jin I-soo one by one. While presenting new suspects, they also revealed the fact that the drug substances detected in Jin I-soo were administered through Kim Young-hwan. The deciding blow was Jin I-soo's 'confession call.' Violent Crimes Team 1 finally broke the seemingly flawless trap by revealing that even the report call made in Jin I-soo's voice was fabricated.

Finally, released from the holding cell, Jin I-soo headed to the crisis-stricken Hansu Group with a dignified appearance. Attending the board meeting as the largest shareholder, Jin I-soo blocked the movements of the forces trying to oust Chairman Choi and even protected the management rights, adding a sense of refreshing pleasure as Jin I-soo regained his confident self.

However, there was no time to breathe. The fully assembled Violent Crimes Team 1 immediately pursued the new suspect, Jo Pil-gu (played by Park Do-uk), who framed Jin I-soo for murder. After locating the residence of Jo Pil-gu, a professional criminal with multiple counts of violent crime, Violent Crimes Team 1 immediately entered an arrest operation, raising the tension again. Ultimately, an unpredictable situation unfolded once more when Jo Pil-gu resisted by wielding a weapon and took a passing student hostage. Along with this, the cookie video at the end of the episode increased the tension by revealing that Jo Pil-gu is connected to Yoo Seong-won. Attention is focused on whether Violent Crimes Team 1 can uncover the full truth of the Jin I-soo framing case and whether they can stop the clutches of Yoo Seong-won, who is slowly tightening around Jin I-soo.

Following the broadcast of 'Flex x Cop 2', which displayed a 'time-vanishing' development, various reactions followed on online communities and SNS, such as "Now Violent Crimes Team 1 is a real family. I loved how Violent Crimes Team 1 saved I-soo," "Joo Hye-ra believing in Jin I-soo and digging until the end is a true team leader. Their relationship is so good," "The process of overturning the trap was totally thrilling. As expected, 'Flex x Cop' is most fun when the board is flipped," "The tension is no joke just by having I-soo and Seong-won together," "I can't even imagine how crazy of a human Yoo Seong-won is," "Today's episode just flew by. The development speed became crazy entering the latter half," "Is it finally going to be Jin I-soo vs. Yoo Seong-won? Please give us episode 12 quickly," etc.

The SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Flex x Cop 2' is a refreshing and exhilarating soda-like cooperative investigation drama about chaebol detective Jin I-soo, who flips the board with wealth when investigations are blocked, and new team leader Joo Hye-ra. Episode 12 will air tonight (12th) at 9:50 PM.
