The Servant Prince has an interesting premise: although their social positions have completely reversed, the relationship between the "prince" and his "servant" has not. That's what makes this story so compelling. Seto Toshiki feels perfectly cast as Takaaki, while Ogawa Fuminori leaves me wanting to see a little more before making a judgment. I personally imagined Naoya as someone with an even more striking princely aura, but acting matters more than appearance alone. I also enjoyed the original manga, and I'm looking forward to seeing how faithfully the drama captures the dynamic between these two characters.
