SBS’s upcoming drama Flex x Cop 2 has shared a new highlight trailer. In Season 2 of Flex x Cop, Ahn Bo-hyun will reprise his starring role as Jin Yi Soo, a third-generation chaebol heir and detective who uses his wealth and connections like cheat codes whenever an investigation reaches a dead end. Jung Eun-chae will play veteran detective Joo Hye Ra, Jin Yi Soo’s new partner.
The highlight video opens with Jin Yi Soo (Ahn Bo-hyun) aboard a flight. He declares in voice-over, “I’ve tried everything and had all the fun I could, but this is my true calling.” He is then seen going all out to catch criminals, using everything from private jets and supercars to real estate transactions as he takes his lavish, money-powered investigations to the next level.
The trailer then introduces Yi Soo’s new team leader, Joo Hye Ra (Jung Eun-chae), a former police academy instructor. In one scene, she warns him, “I told you not to cause any trouble, didn’t I?” Jin Yi Soo timidly tries to push back, but his resistance is quickly shut down.
Although the relationship between the two detectives starts out rocky, they gradually build camaraderie as they solve various cases together. After Jin Yi Soo manages to solve even the toughest investigations in a flash, Joo Hye Ra beams as she tells him, “I’ll admit you’re a cheat code.” Meanwhile, Jin Yi Soo grows into a dependable partner, telling Joo Hye Ra, “Just use me however you need to, Team Leader Joo. I’ll do whatever it takes.”
The highlight trailer also offers a first look at the new villains that Violent Crimes Team 1 will face. In one scene, Joo Hye Ra says, “There’s someone we need to catch,” as she keeps a close eye on the mysterious chaebol heir Yoo Sung Won (Yoo Seung-ho). As Violent Crimes Team 1 finds itself pushed into a corner by the cunning villains, Yoo Sung Won confidently taunts, “Do you really think you can catch me?” However, Joo Hye Ra remains just as confident as she declares, “There’s no such thing as a perfect crime.” The video ends with Jin Yi Soo boldly proclaiming, “Just watch how far I can go.
Jin Yi Soo continues to operate with the same flashy style that defined the first season, but the scale of his methods has expanded considerably. Private jets, high-end vehicles, and complex financial maneuvers now form a regular part of the team’s toolkit as they pursue more sophisticated criminals. Joo Hye Ra’s strict approach and sharp instincts create constant tension with Yi Soo’s freewheeling tactics, yet the trailer shows clear signs that the pair can complement each other when the pressure rises.
Yoo Sung Won emerges as a particularly elusive opponent whose background and resources appear to match or even exceed those of the detective team. The brief glimpses of his interactions suggest a calculated personality who enjoys testing the limits of the law. Violent Crimes Team 1 must adapt quickly if it hopes to close in on him and the other new threats introduced in the footage.
The trailer underscores the heightened stakes of the new season while preserving the blend of action, comedy, and investigative flair that characterized the original run. Viewers can expect larger set pieces, tighter partnership dynamics between the leads, and a more formidable roster of antagonists as the cases unfold. The chemistry between Ahn Bo-hyun and Jung Eun-chae forms the core of the preview, shifting from early friction toward mutual reliance.
Flex x Cop 2 premieres on August 7 at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS, airing on Fridays and Saturdays. The series will also stream on Disney+ beginning the same day, allowing international audiences to follow the new cases as they air.
