Ahn Bo-hyun, Jung Eun-Chae's group poster for 'Flex x Cop 2' heightened viewers' expectations.
SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Flex x Cop 2' abruptly released a group poster announcing the full-scale start of investigations by Kang Ha-seo's violent crimes unit 1.
Following Manager Kim, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Flex x Cop 2', which premieres on Fri., Aug. 7 (produced by Studio S, Big Ocean E&M, BA Entertainment), is a refreshing, upbeat and thrilling collaborative investigative drama about billionaire detective Jin Yi-soo, who flips the board with wealth when investigations hit a dead end, and the new team leader Ju Hye-ra's money-powered antics; it forms one pillar of SBS's soda-pop universe along with Taxi Driver, The Fiery Priest and The Judge from Hell, and is being noticed as a promising title to briskly kick off SBS's must-watch seasonal drama lineup in 2026.
Meanwhile, the Flex x Cop 2 team released a poster that lets viewers glimpse the synergy of Ahn Bo-hyun, Jung Eun-Chae, Kang Sang Jun and Kim Shin-bi, drawing attention. The released poster, set against the Kang Ha-seo violent crimes unit 1 office, captures the four people's edgy chemistry and a mood full of cheerfulness, piquing interest.
First, Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), who confidently takes center stage and freely flaunts his attention-seeking power, steals the scene. True to his reputation as a "superstar of the detective world," he wears an eye-catching bright mint shirt and a headset, exuding his characteristic playful charm with a mischievous smile. Added to this is Jin Yi-soo's trademark finger gesture wishing good luck, the finishing touch. Even after becoming a full-fledged detective, his still-slightly-unpolished billionaire manner brings a welcome smile and clearly announces the return of Jin Yi-soo, the "superstar of the detective world."
Also, the varied expressions of the violent crimes unit 1 members looking at him convey the sentiment "there's a lot to say but I won't say it," eliciting laughter. The new team leader Ju Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-Chae), who seems to be restraining the urge to scold Jin Yi-soo while calling him "a lunatic!"; Park Jun-young (played by Kang Sang Jun), who has become so close that they communicate with just a look but still has eye-shaking reactions whenever Jin Yi-soo emits his attention-seeking power; and the MZ generation youngest member Choi Kyung-jin (played by Kim Shin-bi), who, as a fervent fan of Jin Yi-soo, closely watches his every move with a different manner—all send sharp looks at Jin Yi-soo yet cannot hate him, and the violent crimes unit 1's wholehearted devotion to him provides amusement.
Added to this is the English copy 'DIFFERENT CLASS. SAME JUSTICE.' which foretells the high-end exploits of billionaire detective Jin Yi-soo and violent crimes unit 1, who may have extraordinary class and wealth but share the same belief in justice. With the charismatic new team leader Ju Hye-ra, the steadfast principled Park Jun-young and the completely charming, savvy youngest member Choi Kyung-jin, the upgraded investigative skill of violent crimes unit 1 combined with Jin Yi-soo's fully charged wealth promises an exhilarating single blow aimed at villains trying to escape the law that will deliver a thrilling catharsis.
The Flex x Cop 2 production team said, "In season 2, the bickering yet more tightly bonded violent crimes unit 1 will display flawless chemistry and lead the story with even more variety," and added, "Please look forward to the high-end collaborative investigation that will bring soda-pop dopamine to living rooms this summer."
The returning idol of the SBS Friday-Saturday soda-pop universe, Flex x Cop 2, premieres on Fri., Aug. 7 at 9:50 p.m.
Meanwhile, Ahn Bo-hyun, Jung Eun-Chae and others from Flex x Cop 2 recently attended a recording of the variety show Running Man. Having paired for the first time in the drama, curiosity is growing about what kind of chemistry the two will show on a variety show.
