In the 60s of the last century, the American drama "The Fugitive" was remade as a 93 movie of the same name starring Harrison Ford, and now Japan has also remade a Japanese drama SP "Fugitive", starring Ken Watanabe and Etsuji Toyokawa, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of TV Asahi's founding. The story is set in modern Japan, with Watanabe playing Kazuki Kakurai, an elite surgeon who is wrongfully murdered by his wife and chasing down the real murderer while on the run, and Toyokawa plays Masashi Hosaka, a criminal policeman who tracks him down. The work is directed by "Xiangba" director Izumi Seiji, and written by Masahiro Yoshimoto, and will be broadcast for two consecutive nights this year, and the specific broadcast time is to be reported.
