This Spring, a prosecutor will find himself at his wit’s end when a judicial trainee brings him nothing but problems in Suspicious Partner, a new Japanese romcom coming May 14, exclusively to Disney+.
A Japanese remake of the 2017 Korean drama of the same name, Suspicious Partner follows Haruto Tateishi, a cool-headed prosecutor whose life changes dramatically when he meets an eccentric woman who mistakenly accuses him of molesting someone on a bus. From the moment he meets her everything seems to go wrong, but despite trying to cut ties, he can’t seem to get her out of his life. A romantic comedy with elements of suspense, this new series promises something both new and familiar for fans of the original series.
Suspicious Partner stars FANTASTICS from EXILE Tribe performer Yusei Yagi (My Beautiful Man, Host Inherited) as brilliant prosecutor Haruto Tateishi, and former Hinatazaka46 member Kyoko Saito (Mudtable, Sudden Marriage) as Sakura Miyashita, a judicial trainee with aspirations of becoming a lawyer. The series is directed by Yuka Yasukawa (The Nighthawk’s First Love) and written by Japan Academy Prize winner Yosuke Maisike (Haken Anime!).
Stream Suspicious Partner starting May 14, exclusively on Disney+.
