A Master/Servant Relationship that is more than meets the eye
"The Servant Prince" is a very quick and easy binge. It's not what I expected, not in a bad way, but in a different way. The main romance is still there but there's a strong focus on character growth and family dynamic.
Given the title and the subject, I thought it would not be such a chaste drama (Ok, probably coz I am a pervert). The romance is actually very sweet and there's more than just Takaaki obeying Naoya's demands. I just wish they add a few more intimate scenes, esp when Takaaki releases his controlled emotions. They keep on repeating the same flashbacks, and I still don't know why Takaaki is so obsessed with Naoya. I need to know how this master/servant relationship starts from the very beginning.
Since this is an adaptation of a manga, the acting could have been overly dramatic and thank goodness, it isn't. A couple characters are cartoonish but overall, the acting is OK. There are a bunch of lovely co-workers.
In the end, I'm glad to have followed Naoya's journey of healing and growth. It's an interesting way to witness his growth through the development of this master/servant relationship into something beautiful and mature.
