Partner Season 8

If you say that the best detective drama in the golden decade is Ancient Field Jinsaburo, then these years, if we have to pick the best one, it's undoubtedly this ace detective drama from TV Asahi. It has finally reached its eighth season. Although one of the main actors, Terai Yasuhiko, has left for various reasons, the addition of Kouri Mitsuharu and the consistently good stories at the beginning of the year have given loyal fans of "Partner" a reason to continue watching. The eighth season of the popular Japanese drama "Partner," starring Mizutani Hidetoshi, will start airing every Wednesday night at 9 PM starting from the first month with the first episode being a two-hour special. This year marks the anniversary of the show where the protagonist, Sugashita Yukiji, played by Mizutani Hidetoshi, smiled and said he hopes the luck from Season 7 will carry over to Season 8. Also, Kouri Mitsuharu, who replaced Mizutani Hidetoshi as the new partner from the end of last season, enthusiastically stated, "I want to work hard to become a partner like Mizutani Hidetoshi." The show originally aired as part of the Saturday Theater lineup from October 2000 and has already been running for an anniversary. The previous season had an average viewership rating with a peak of . According to surveys, it has become the unrivaled champion of domestic criminal dramas in Japan. In the eighth season, besides Sugashita's famous reasoning scenes, the true identity of the new partner, Kobe, ordered by the upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department to join the Special Order Group, gradually comes to light. His personality and demeanor are completely different from those of Kuramae, played by Terai. He keeps his personal privacy completely confidential and is under secret orders to investigate Yukiji's conduct, but instead gets tricked and sometimes even confronts Yukiji. He is very different from the irritable Kuramae. The two work together to solve difficult cases. The eighth season of Partner is scheduled to begin in October.
