I finished watching "Iron Bone" (5 episodes) on WOWOW on-demand.

It is a drama version of Jun Ikeido's novel of the same name, which has been made into a drama in WOWOW.

Heita Miyajima (Ryunosuke Kamiki), a young employee who joined the mid-sized construction company "Ikematsu-gumi" for the fourth year, was a "on-site" person, but one day he moved to the business department.

Heita witnesses the "collusion" that prevails in the construction industry when dealing with large-scale projects such as public works projects, which are completely different from the past.

If one big company collapses, all the small and medium-sized companies that undertake it will also collapse ..., thus collusion is necessary evil ... Manzou Mihashi (Kyohei Shibata), an industry fixer He tells us, but the rigging is crowded with politicians who suck sweet juice by speaking, suspicious consulting companies, and major construction companies who are accustomed to rigging and do not try to change the industry.

Ichirota), Soji Ogata (Seiyo Uchino), managing director of who hired Hirata for an interview.

Even if it is ideal to carry out at a reasonable price without collusion, in reality, government offices try to carry out public works projects at prices that are impossible, and each company is forced to reduce costs unreasonably in order to make a successful bid for it. Or ...

The activities of everyone, including Hajime Naito (Kanji Ishimaru) of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, who worked hard to detect the collusion, were reliable.

Even in reality, I really wanted the prosecutors to do their best to resist the Abe administration.
