The drama will premiere on TOKYO MX1 on July 3, 2026, airing every Friday from 23:00 to 23:30. The story follows Naoya Goto, a former school prince who loses everything after a business failure, and Takaaki Sato, the gloomy underclassman he once bossed around who later becomes a successful venture company president. Despite their reversed social positions, Takaaki continues to serve Naoya like a servant. Ogawa plays Naoya, marking his first lead role in a TV drama. Seto plays Takaaki, a character described as deeply obsessive and devoted. The script is by Hiroko Kanasugi, who wrote \"Cosmetic Play Lover,\" and the directors are Takehiro Shindo and Daisuke Matsuo. The original manga is serialized on Cmoa Comics' Ficus label. A special site on Cmoa Comics and a drama official channel offering member-only content have launched.","why_it_matters":"The drama adapts a BL manga with a role-reversal premise that inverts the typical power dynamic, giving the formerly dominant character a fall and the subservient character success, while keeping the servant dynamic intact.","published_at":"2026-05-24T22:15:35.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Eiga Natalie","Comic Natalie"],"citations":[{"source":"Eiga Natalie","title":"BUDDiiS's Shiki Ogawa and Toshiki Seto Star in Romance Drama \"Shimobe no Ouji-sama\" About a 10-Year Master-Servant Relationship (with Comments)","url":"https://natalie.mu/eiga/news/673210"},{"source":"Comic Natalie","title":"Tatsumoto Mio's \"Shimobe no Ouji-sama\" Gets Live-Action Drama, Starring BUDDiiS' Shiki Ogawa and Toshiki Seto as Dual Leads (with Comments)","url":"https://natalie.mu/comic/news/673280"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":["しもべの王子様"],"studios":[],"people":["たつもとみお","小川史記","瀬戸利樹"],"type":"announcement","domain":"manga","is_roundup":false}}}
