On the August 8 broadcast of the SBS Fri-Sat drama "Flex X Cop Season 2" (hereafter "Flex X Cop 2"), Jin I-su and Joo Hyera were shown solving a bomb terror case.
On this day, Jin I-su took refuge at Joo Hyera's home. The bomber, watching him, lured him by sending a photo showing Choi Jung-hoon being held hostage.
Jin I-su went to his family home, the location seen in the photo, to find Choi Jung-hoon. Just then, documentary assistant director Jang Hyun-woo appeared, saying he had received a photo from the bomber showing his mother being held hostage.
The two of them entered the house together and searched for the held hostages. However, there were no hostages anywhere; instead, only a bomb awaited the two of them.
Jin I-su took cover with Jang Hyun-woo in the evacuation shelter. But a bomb was planted there as well, and the explosion blew a hole through the floor of the shelter.
Realizing he had been targeted with deepfakes, Jin I-su subsequently hid out at Choi Jung-hoon's house, while Jang Hyun-woo took shelter in a nearby motel.
Joo Hyera, chasing the suspect, noted the fact that there had been three explosions yet zero casualties, realizing that the perpetrator was not targeting Jin I-su. Jin I-su also came to realize that the incident was not aimed at him and set out to solve the case.
Then, Jin I-su and Joo Hyera met in front of Jin I-su's family home, having anticipated that the perpetrator's target was right there.
Jin I-su said, "Our mister told me that a tremendously wealthy person used to live in this house. After their business went under, they sold this house to my father, and starting two years ago, someone from that family kept contacting us asking to buy it back." When Joo Hyera asked what was there, Jin I-su took the lead, saying, "Shall we go and see what's there?"
After tracking the fingerprints left on the bomb revealed that the owner of the fingerprints was Jang Hyun-woo's older brother, Jang Hyunsuk, the two pursued the Jang brothers. They immediately encountered the brothers in the evacuation shelter of Jin I-su's family home.
The two had perpetrated this incident to find a treasure chest rumored to be buried in the house where they used to live. However, the treasure chest they found contained the shameful secrets their ancestors wanted to hide. Their great-grandfather, known as a torture doctor, had accumulated wealth through pro-Japanese activities, and the family had managed to survive until now on that wealth.
After the case was resolved, Joo Hyera met with the head of the detective division. When the division head asked what she thought of Jin I-su, Joo Hyera left a candid impression, saying, "He's a bit foolish and unpredictable. But he has a sense for things, you know? He seemed more sincere than he looks." She then asked if anyone had been slated to be the leader of Team 1.
The detective division head met with Jin I-su and told him to look forward to the team leader arriving on Monday. Excited, Jin I-su prepared a grand inauguration ceremony. However, contrary to his expectations, the team leader who appeared at the ceremony was Joo Hyera.
Joo Hyera greeted Jin I-su, who was in denial of reality, by saying, "It's reality. Get used to it. Nice working with you, you lunatic," raising curiosity about what kind of appearance the two will show as they solve cases together moving forward.
