Ben Sherman is about to complete Phase 2 of his rookie year. During Phase 3, he will be allowed to patrol solo. Detective Adams and Officer Brown are assigned new partners. Rene Cordero, Adams's new partner, is obsessed with receiving glory and press coverage. Their first case involves the search for an elderly man who left his home accompanied by an unknown black man. Brown's new partner, "Slug" Ferguson, quickly demonstrates how he earned that nickname when he starts a riot during a traffic stop. Meanwhile, Detectives Moretta and Bryant investigate a "Sonora shootout" involving a young Mexican man shot dead while driving an unregistered Bentley.

《南城警事第二季》是一部不折不扣的本土生活剧，有职场生存法则，有家庭生活智慧，但又处处彰显着韩式偶像风。该剧以上世纪六七十年代为背景，讲述了一个养父三十年来含辛茹苦养大四个非亲生孩子的真情故事。影片色调被用到了极致，里面冷暖色调的对比能让人立即捕捉到电影要传达的情绪，这是看了一遍还想再看几遍的影片。
