The press conference for Koshonin ~ The Negotiator was held on 9 January. Actors Kakei Toshio, Yonekura Ryoko, Jinnai Takanori, Takahashi Katsumi, Suzuki Kousuke, Shirota Yuu, Takaoka Sousuke and Takachi Noboru attended the event.
The drama depicts Usagi Reiko, who desired a posting to the metropolitan police's Special Investigation Team (SIT), dealing with crime and her organisation while isolated in the male-dominated world of the SIT. Jinnai Takanori and Takahashi Katsumi, act in supporting roles as Ryoko's superiors. Also, Hayashi Tantan, who won the grand prix at the 11th All-Japan Beauty Contest in 2006 stars as Ryoko's sister, Usagi Mio.
Commenting on a scene that left an impression on her in her first role as a police detective, Ryoko smiled wryly as she said, "There's a scene in Ep 2 in which the criminal demands that I undress. I thought no way would there be an undressing scene in a police drama ..." "This is a production with a good script, good producer and good female lead. I've always been together with Muroi Shigeru-san at TV Asahi but this time it's with Yonekura-san. My heart pounded." Jinnai Takanori, who acts as Kirisawa Keigo, who strongly dislikes Reiko, commented. "Besides Yonekura-san, there're the bitter faces of Ibu Masato-san, Osugi Ren-san, Sasano Takashi-san and others. It felt like 'bitter men paradise'." Takachi Noboru made everyone laugh when he spoke of his thoughts on Ep 1, "I watched Ep 1 with my wife (actress Takahashi Reiko) and she saw Yonekura-san's style. 'It's annoying because it's terrific. Ask how that sort of great style can be achieved.' I was told."
The drama premiered on 10 January and will be shown every Thursday from 9.00 p.m to 9.54 p.m.
