1990–1991 · 1 season

Overview
A detective drama that tries to charm you with its story rather than flashy action. The focus was on the guests in each episode, and each time a gorgeous lineup appeared and became a hot topic at the time. The title has the meaning that "a detective who protects citizens is the same as a representative director who protects employees in a company."
