Every autumn, "Xiangba" returned as promised, and the Xiangba series ushered in the 20th anniversary of the opening this year, and now it has been broadcast to the 18th season, and the first episode began to air this week, which got a high rating of 16.7%, which is as stable as ever.
This criminal reasoning drama tells the story of Sugishita Ukyo, an old police officer of the "Special Department" of the Special Department of the Metropolitan Police Agency of Japan, and his partner to solve difficult cases.
In the past, the meaning of "match stick" was two car drivers carrying a car bar together, but now it has evolved into: colleague, partner, partner, and the latest season of "Match stick" is still played by Takashi Inomachi.
The protagonist of the new season, Ukyo, is unaccounted for from the beginning and comes to Tenri Island in order to find him, but there are serial murders on the island, there is an ulterior conspiracy, and the first episode also invited Kimura Kano to make a cameo.
One of the highlights of the first episode is that the bhikshuni "Myoharu", played by Kana Kimura, the former parliamentarian Katayama Chiko, reappeared after last year's special episode, and Kimura Kano's bald-headed image appeared, and the ambitious politician's goal this time is to return to the parliamentarian seat, and she will once again resort to tricks.
The regular supporting cast is also outstanding, with Yuki Nakama continuing to star in the role of Miko Samiko, director of the Metropolitan Police Department Publicity Division known as the "Iron Lady", as well as old drama bones such as Akira Shōmoto, Koji Ishizaka, and Tetsuta Sugimoto.
It can attract the audience to watch for 20 years, which is enough to show the quality of "Xiang stick", and we can see different visual feelings in each season of "Xiang Stick", different styles of criminal means and diversified criminal investigation ideas.
And as a longevity drama, a major feature of the script is "the times", it never attracts the audience with a thrilling and bizarre plot, but takes the road of social reasoning in a down-to-earth manner, selects themes that fit the characteristics of the times, reflects the current hot issues in society, and deeply explores the background of the reasons after social phenomena, such as killing motives and psychological changes.
