Two years after Season 1 became a sleeper hit, [Flex x Cop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_X_Cop) is back — and its writer, Kim Ba Da, is finally opening up about why she couldn’t imagine anyone else in these roles. Ahead of the August 7 premiere, she shared her thoughts on Ahn Bo Hyun, Jung Eun Chae, and newcomer Yoo Seung Ho.

### Why Season 2 Almost Didn’t Feel Possible

Kim Ba Da called returning after two years an incredible honor, crediting the show’s loyal fanbase for making Season 2 happen at all. Season 1 peaked at 11% in ratings and earned an early renewal — a rare vote of confidence in Korean television.

### Flex x Cop 2: Cast That Made It Work

| Actor | Character | Writer’s Take |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ahn Bo Hyun | Jin Yi Soo, chaebol-turned-detective | Said he “became” the character, contributing memorable ad-libbed lines |
| Jung Eun Chae | Joo Hye Ra, veteran detective | Called irreplaceable for blending charisma with quiet strength |
| Yoo Seung Ho | Yoo Sung Won, sculptor and chaebol heir | Was her first and only choice for the demanding new role |

Kim explained that writing Jin Yi Soo — a wealthy heir who solves murders using his money and connections like cheat codes — was always a tricky balancing act between flashy and likable, shameless and charming. She credited Ahn Bo Hyun’s trustworthiness on set for letting her write the character’s boldest, most playful beats.

### What’s New in Season 2

The upcoming season kicks off with terrorists targeting Jin Yi Soo, pulling him into his signature over-the-top investigations. Expect cases involving gangsters, magicians, and traditional Korean dancers, plus a teased storyline connected to Jin Yi Soo’s ownership of a film production company — one Kim hinted will be a major “flex” moment without giving away spoilers.

The dynamic between Jin Yi Soo and Joo Hye Ra also gets a spotlight, with Hye Ra consistently staying a step ahead while Yi Soo playfully resists following her lead.
