Ahn Bo Hyun’s chaebol-detective charm in Flex X Cop didn’t come out of nowhere. Long before Flex X Cop, he played smug villains, dashing military soldiers, and soft-hearted romantics. It’s easy to forget that the actor charming audiences as Flex X Cop’s Jin Yi-soo is the same one who made viewers despise him in Itaewon Class just a few years earlier.
