Synopsis

Two men with the same name work for the same company and are involved with the same girl. One is her husband and the other is her superior. Best Partner focuses on the life of Japan's corporate 30-somethings and the rivalry for success that encompasses their lives. Unbeknownst to each other, Suzuki Ichiro and Suzuki Ichiro both work for the same publishing firm in Tokyo. The only difference in their names is two strokes in the kanji character of their first names. Ichiro #1 marries his coworker, Hayama Asuka. Ichiro #2, who is Asuka's superior, attends the wedding reception and the two Ichiros meet for the very first time. But seeing how close his new wife and her superior seem to be, Ichiro #1 begins to feel anxious about the future.

This drama is sweet but it is every thing turns out the way you would think it would turn out. This drama can be funny and it isnt a bad drama to watch at all. I cant give it at 9 or a 10 but it is realy good the acting was good and the story line was good to it is a very simple story and it kept me watching. The characters are good.

Not too bad as a little comedy dorama. Pretty cute how the two Ichiro's interact, not the greatest dorama every but can be pretty funny at times.
