The lead male character is a little silly in the beginning but he has more depth as the series continues. (It’s kind of the point of his character.) I think you could say the story was about finding your place and your people. The characters are well written and performed. The pace was steady action and adventure with heart. I give this series a high 7 (entertaining) out of 10.

Didn't have high expectations for this crime solver yet I was blown away by both writing and acting quality, a duality of sorts that is all so rare in dramas nowadays. Really happy for season 2 and for all the success this one had here and at home in terms of ratings, well deserved. Something that I wanted to point out is that sure, things got quite dark in the last few eps, but I've seen many underwhelmed by the final culprit being [spoiler] his brother and not someone else [/spoiler], and I'm actually on the opposite side of things. The way the writer managed the whole series regarding Isoo's main plotline is to neither put us, the audience, as omniscient spectators nor leave us clueless until a big, revealing, who-did-it resolution. Instead she decided to let us be Isoo just a step before him, so that we have suspects and confirmations only slightly before he does, and I loved such a choice: you don't feel like a moron because you can't grasp the answers yet you're also not bored because you knew all from the start. That's why the big shocker that is the end of episode 15 works wonders, because we themselves couldn't believe such a gnarly rationale as we, and Isoo himself, did make ourselves an idea, an image about who could have done what, and as he did in the end, we also had to come to terms with the reality of facts. In his search for the truth we have been Isoo all along and when we connected the dots, remember for example that glance at the bath in the early eps?, it all made sense, terribly so. I don't like to be made a fool, to be spun around in different directions just for the sake of drama, and that's why I can't help but to praise the writer: it may have been linear, even boring for some and predictable, but I do love me a solid, honest, well written mystery, and Flex X Cop might be the most well written mystery drama I've seen in a while. It surely is nice to have a drama overperform his potential for once! I would have been happy if [spoiler] Isoo hadn't come back to the force [/spoiler] but since the show has been renewed for second season i would be happy to watch even the content is episodic crime solvers as long as they bloom the romance between the leads and provide a closure.

this was so good I'd binge watch a second season even if all they did was solve cases

Unexpected and so much fun! Excited to watch season 2, hoping for even a drop of romance tbh...
