Flex x Cop’ follows the story of Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), an immature third-generation chaebol, who ends up becoming a detective because of his privileged upbringing, and Lee Kang-hyun (portrayed by Park Ji-hyun), a determined, no-nonsense veteran detective who also holds the distinction of being the first female team leader in the Homicide Department. While she doesn’t like Yi-soo, their relationship evolves through a significant turning point, and they wound up becoming partners.
