What × first drama that comes to mind when I hear that the police are buddy? Although there are various titles such as "Miu404" (TBS series), which is cut into social problems, "Galileo" (Fuji TV series) of physicist and female detective, and "Funny Detective" (TV Asahi) set by parents and children, it is difficult to recall the police drama in which buddy between women plays an active part. In recent years, it is not about 'Unsolved woman Metropolitan Police Department document investigator' (TV Asahi) that Haru and Kyoka Suzuki united.
Speaking of "Police × Duo", what tv series comes to mind first? The more classics are "Sobuki" (TV Asahi), "MIU404" (TBS TV) that directly attacks social problems, "Galileo" (Fuji TV) where physicists and female criminal police are paired, and "Strange Cop" (TV Asahi), which is handled by father and daughter, although there are many TV series set by this "police × duo", but the episodes of female and female partners are rare. Looking at the TV dramas in recent years, there is only one film starring Haru and Kyoka Suzuki, "The Unresolved Daughter of the Metropolitan Police Agency Clerical Search Officer" (TV Asahi Tv).
Meanwhile, the drama that was not likely actually that it was buddy of the woman uniform policeman is spreading support. It is "Hakozume - Fight! Police Box Girls ~" which is broadcasting in the Nippon Television Network.
In this context, a TV series with the theme of female criminal police partners handling cases (in fact, there is basically no such situation) has hit the screen, which is "Secret Insider ~ Policewoman's Counterattack" produced and broadcast by Japanese television.
Seiko Fuji (Erika Toda), a former ace in the criminal section who makes her name as Miss Perfect, and Mayi Kawai (Meiku Nagano), a new police officer who works with Wisteria at the Machiyama Police Box. There is a sense of buddy of these two, a pull that can be seen forever.
Former Criminal Division ace Seiko Fuji (EiriKa Toda), known as an elite beauty, and Mayi Kawakawa (Nagano Yayu), a newcomer police officer who also works at the Machiyama police station, team up to form a police flower combination that fits the aura.
Fuji and Kawai work stoutly though complaining in the police organization which is a complete man society. But what they're facing is not a serial murder or a crime using a major trick in a flashy police drama, but a case right next to life such as theft, attempted suicide, or forced obscenity. However, the reason why the eye cannot be taken off might be that all factors such as the viewpoint of the scenario (Nemoto Nonji) who snuggles up thoroughly to the one-of-a-kind buddy feeling of wisteria and Kawai and the crime victim, the source (Shohei Miura), Yamada (Yuki Yamada), and Igazaki (Murotsyoshi) and the Machiyama police station member's thick faces have caused a chemical reaction well.
In a police force that is completely dominated by men, despite many complaints about it, the two have done every job beautifully. However, they are not dealing with the serial murder cases or hidden conspiracies that often appear in gorgeous criminal investigation dramas, but cases that disrupt daily life such as theft, suicide attempts, and indecency. The highlight of this drama is not the thrill of solving the case, the unique sense of fit between the two heroines, the plot arrangement that is closer to the victim's perspective (negen ノンジ screenplay), and other distinctive machiyama police stations in the play (Shohei Miura), Yamada (Yuki Yamada), and Igazaki (Yuki Igasaki), these elements are fused to burst into sparks to make the drama popular with the audience.
What is interesting about the buddy feeling of Wisteria and Kawai is that the A side where the wisteria leads the junior Kawai and the B side where Kawai's actions have a positive influence on the wisteria proceed at the same rate.
The sense of fit between Fuji and Kawawai is very intriguing, the two are complementary to each other's growth, Fuji as a predecessor to the younger generation of Kawahe care guidance and Kawawai's every move also positively affects Fuji.
For example, it was Kawai who opened the hearts of high school girls who were affected by molestation in episodes 3 and 4, and kawai took care of a woman who knew that her believed lover was a thief in the theft case in Episode 2. Wisteria is better in his career as a police officer, but it is not a relationship in which one side is always at a high level.
In episodes 3 and 4, Kawawai succeeds in helping the molested female high school student out of the haze with his efforts, and in episode 2, the thief's girlfriend Risha has been kept in the dark by her boyfriend, and when the truth comes out, it is Kawawai who comforts the devastated Risha. As a policeman, both in terms of rank and ability, Fuji undoubtedly has more advantages, but she is not an image of a person who is always in a position.
It is a common denominator between Erika Toda and Mei Nagano that confirms the buddy feeling of this wisteria and Kawai.
It is precisely because of the tacit understanding between Toda Eirika and Nagano Yasumi that fuji and Kawakawa in the play have a sympathetic relationship.
As you know, both of them have experience in nhk morning dora heroine. Toda starred in Scarlett in late 2019 and Nagano starred in the first half of 2018's Half, Blue. For six months, he has participated in the filming of the drama with the highest audience rating in Japan, and the pressure to play a leading role in the daily audience rating and related articles of his own is considerable. I feel that this hard situation experienced by Toda and Nagano is linked to the relationship between Fuji and Kawai, who are graduates of a severe police school and senior juniors. Although the period (work) is different, there is a sense of solidarity that only those who have passed through the same shambles know each other. The relationship of trust between the actors has created a sense of persuasiveness in fuji and Kawai's buddy feeling.
Fans are well aware that both actresses have starred in NHK morning dramas. Toda starred in "Crimson" in the second half of 2019, and Nagano starred in "Half, Blue" in the first half of 2018. Both of them were filmed for six months, starring in Japan's most rated and highly regarded morning drama, and the pressure on the actors was undoubtedly huge due to the daily ratings and great exposure. Toda and Nagano's acting experience is hard not to think of Fuji and Kawakazu, who graduated from the heavily managed police academy. Although it is not the same level (the same work), it has the same sense of connection, which is the empathy that only people who have experienced the same dilemma will have. It is precisely because of the mutual trust between the actors that the fit between Fuji and Kawai in the play is more infectious.
In addition, the source that exists like a pair of wisteria and kawai and the standing position of Yamada are also interesting. The source, which is in sync with the wisteria and the police school, never looks down on the wisteria because she is a woman, while poisoning her with "mountain mez gorilla" and "gorilla with dropped eyebrows". Rather, it touches her as a rival which cannot be exceeded even if leaving until when. In a male-dominated police society, the flexibility of the source is a salvation.
In addition, the other pair of police partners in the play, Gen and Yamada, are also quite interesting. Yuan is a classmate of Fuji's classmates at the police academy, and he often ridicules Her as a "mountain female orangutan" and "a gorilla without eyebrows", but never discriminates against Fuji because she is "female". Instead, Genji sees Vine as an unrivaled competitor in his career. In a male-dominated police society, Yuan's respect for female police officers is rare.
Yamada, who is a junior to wisteria and gen, also shows Kawai his words and behavior as a correct senior. In particular, in the molesting case to a female high school student that occurred in episodes 3 and 4, Yamada told Kawai that "it is always a terrible way to be treated" to the verification doll used as a victim role, and I felt that the scene of gently hanging a blanket on the doll represented how to face the weak things in this work.
Yamada is the descendant of Fuji and Gen, but he also plays his rightful role as an example in front of Kawayo. In particular, in the case of the molestation of a female high school student in episodes 3 and 4, Yamada says to Kawayo when placing a police mannequin used to act as a victim, "It is always treated violently", and carefully wraps the mannequin with a blanket, which makes the audience deeply appreciate some of the attitudes that the show wants to convey towards the weak.
Up to this point, fuji and Kawai's light tempo feeling and unique buddy feeling that can be seen as an entertainer duo with 10 years of experience, and the nice assist of Source and Yamada were on the front "Hakozume ~ Fight! Police Box Girls~", but in the sixth episode, it seems that the focus is also on the past of the synchronization sakura (Eri Tokunaga) in the days of wisteria and police school. In the notice, Kawai also hit his feelings against Wisteria.
The tacit understanding between Fuji and Kawayo is comparable to that of a 10-year-old comedy artist duo, and the cheerful and humorous pace of progress and unique fit between them, as well as the divine assists of Gen and Yamada, are the consistent highlights of the first 5 episodes of "Policewoman's Strikes Back", but in episode 6, Fuji's classmate at the police academy, Sakura (Tokunaga Eiri), becomes the focus of the plot. In the trailer, there is also a scene of Kawawai revealing his heart to Fuji.
In this comedy, which always has a gentle perspective on the weak, including the victim, I would like to pay attention to how the wounds that Fuji himself carries are depicted, and how Kawai relates to the wisteria.
Although this is a light-hearted comedy, it also embodies the theme of a gentle perspective on vulnerable groups, including victims, and the pain borne by Fuji himself and Kawawai's attitude towards Fuji will be the next point of view.
