Ahn Bo-hyun is back as the chaebol heir turned detective in the only major August Korean drama streaming on Disney+. Four more arrived on Netflix and tvN, with Song Kang’s return closing the month on August 29.
Disney+ has one of the biggest Korean dramas of the summer.
Flex X Cop Season 2 premiered August 7 with 14 episodes. Ahn Bo-hyun returns as the chaebol heir who joined the police force, with Jung Eun-chae and Yoo Seung-ho joining the cast.
It is the only major August K-drama on Disney+, and it lands in a month crowded with Netflix and tvN releases.
What Flex X Cop Season 2 is about
The premise is the same fish-out-of-water setup that made the first season work.
Jin Yi-soo is the heir to a conglomerate who ends up in the violent crimes unit, bringing money and no discipline to a job that requires the opposite. The comedy comes from the collision, and the cases keep it moving.
Season 1 aired in 2024 and built a following well beyond Korea, which is why a second season landing on Disney+.
What else is streaming in Korean drama right now
Four other titles arrived this month across Netflix, tvN, and HBO Max.
Mousetrap premiered on Netflix on August 18. Ryu Jun-yeol plays a novelist whose identity is stolen by a figure known only as The Rat, with Sul Kyung-gu as the loan shark he partners with. Kim Hong-sun of Money Heist: Korea directs, adapted from the webtoon Field Mouse.
Our Sticky Love dropped all episodes at once on Netflix on August 7, starring Jung Hae-in.
My Bias, My Boss premiered August 3 on tvN, streaming internationally on HBO Max. It adapts a webtoon about an idol superfan who takes a job at her bias’s company.
Song Kang returns August 29
The month closes with the release most watched by that fanbase.
Four Hands, Two Sonatas premieres August 29 on tvN and Netflix, a musical youth drama marking Song Kang‘s first project after completing military service.

Ten days out.
Where to watch Korean dramas right now
The platform split is worth knowing before subscribing to anything.
Disney+ carries Flex X Cop Season 2 and has been building a Korean originals slate rather than licensing broadly.
Netflix has the largest catalog and the most simultaneous releases, and it splits between weekly drops and full-season releases without a consistent pattern.
HBO Max picks up select tvN titles internationally, which is where My Bias, My Boss landed.
Amazon Prime offers K-drama.
Viki is a paid service specializing in K-drama, along with shows from China, Japan, Taiwan, and more.
