Kyoso no Bannin means guardians of the market competition. In other worse, this show is about an underdog group from the Fair Trade Commission who's job is to investigate and uncover unfair competition practices but have limited powers and resources.
Watanabe Anne is a detective who is sent to the Fair Trade Commission after she loses a suspect and has to work with Sakaguchi Kentaro who is a Todai graduate but choses to work for the lowly Fair Trade Commission.
Kyoso no Bannin sounds like a WOWOW dorama but I am glad that it is a Fuji TV one so that its kind of different. I am just glad it is not a TBS show.
The first episode is about 3 hotels who collude to keep prices high in an area because they have monopoly power and Yamamoto Koji makes a great villain especially after watching him in so many hero roles especially Kagero no Tsuji. His villain is such a fresh air from the overacting Kagawa Teruyuki style that plague so many jdoramas.
For me I found the subject matter of anti competition law interesting because its not very black and white and is difficult to prove. Plus you have a group of lovable underdogs as the protagonists for this show.
Big thanks to edwardwong for subbing the first two episodes. I am not sure why the subs are not at d-addicts. Watchable.
