Ironic daddy is going to die like all the people he has killed lol.

What a fantastic tale of revenge, I will not give away the ending but have your tissues handy, it is a doozy.

****My take on this drama.  Go watch it!  You will not be disappointed.  The storyline was well thought out, the acting was superb even by the child actors.  It was very well cast and just the right length.  I watched it on Netflix. 9/10 only because I wanted more of the ending.

    I Loved this series so much!  It reminds me of the other series Ahn Bo Hyeon recently did called Military Prosecutor Doberman.  They solve mysteries and cases that ultimately lead back to their own stories. 

    This series centers around the mystery of his mother’s “suicide”, his relationship with his father as he is illegitimate, his half-brother who loves him and step mother who always treated him poorly.  He is a rich kid who never grew up.  He is suddenly kicked out of the family because his extra-curricular activities and forced to work for the police force violent crimes division.

    He learns to be a team player and care about the people he works with.  There is a lot of humor in this series as well as tears.  The story line develops at a nice pace and the people he surrounds himself with are wonderful for his healing process.

    The female lead Lee Na Yoon does a great job of being a no-nonsense cop and highly respects her team mates.  Her own story revolves around her father who is a disgraced police captain that was falsely accused of taking a bribe.  All their histories interconnect later as you dive deeper into the story.  The leads chemistry is fantastic and their relationship grows at a gradual pace.  

 

He has just saved her life.

    Her father was the officer that found the male leads mother and showed him kindness while in distress.  The female leads mother shows him so much of a mother’s love that by the end she is the only one who can give him solace.  It was such a lovely, touching scene.

In fact, rewatching it for the screen shots made me cry all over again!

    There is so much I could say about this drama but am afraid of giving anything away.  I heard there will be a second season so I will be waiting for that for sure. 

****I highly recommend this drama.  The cases they solved were interesting, the acting was top notch, the buildup in all the different relationships was a natural progression.  I give it a 10/10 for sure and will rewatch this later!  Here is the link if you want to watch it: https://asianc.sh/drama-detail/flexxcop
