Flex X Cop 2 wrapped up its 14-episode run on September 19, 2026, and it did so in the biggest way possible. The SBS Friday-Saturday drama, starring Ahn Bo-hyun and Jung Eun-chae, closed its season with an average nationwide rating of 11.8 percent, according to Nielsen Korea. That number is not just the show’s personal best — it also beat the 11.0 percent all-time high set by the first season back in 2024. The finale took first place in its time slot and marked the first time Season 2 crossed into double-digit territory.

How Did the Finale Ratings Compare to Season 1?
Season 1 of Flex X Cop finished its run in March 2024 with a peak nationwide rating of 11.0 percent. That number stood as the drama’s highest ever — until now. The Season 2 finale didn’t just edge past it; it cleared it by a comfortable margin. The jump from the penultimate episode’s 9.4 percent to the finale’s 11.8 percent was a rise of 2.4 percentage points in a single night. The Seoul metropolitan area rating also climbed, and the show dominated its time slot against competing dramas like tvN’s Four Hands, Two Sonatas and JTBC’s Salon De Nabi.
What Happened in the Flex X Cop 2 Finale?
The final episode brought the season’s main villain arc to a close. Jin I-soo (Ahn Bo-hyun) and the Violent Crimes Unit 1 team, led by Joo Hye-ra (Jung Eun-chae), finally captured the serial killer Yoo Sung-won (played by Yoo Seung-ho). The breakthrough came when Hye-ra wore a tiny camera on her clothing and broadcast Sung-won’s confession live, exposing his crimes to the public. After the arrest, the team took a well-earned luxury vacation as a reward. But the story didn’t end on a purely happy note. In the final scene, a mysterious man covered in blood — played by Kim Ji Hoon in a special cameo — was shown in a room filled with photos of the team, throwing a knife at a picture of I-soo. That cliffhanger has sparked widespread speculation about a possible Season 3.
