Netflix has granted the go-ahead for "Boyfriend On Demand" (working title), an enchanting new romantic comedy series headlined by BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Seo In-guk, who previously captivated audiences in "Doom at Your Service" and "Café Minamdang". Production has officially commenced on this intriguing tale, which centers around Mi-rae (played by Jisoo), an overworked webtoon producer who seeks refuge from reality through an innovative subscription-based virtual dating simulation program. Within this digital realm, she encounters her dream boyfriends, setting the stage for a revolution in dating dynamics.
"Boyfriend on Demand" (WT) weaves together the relatable struggles of everyday working life with an unprecedented virtual reality dating subscription service, promising to redefine romance. Jisoo embodies Seo Mi-rae, a woman yearning for a second chance at love within the confines of virtual reality. Amidst her hectic schedule, Mi-rae's dating life is virtually nonexistent until she stumbles upon a 'Monthly Boyfriend' device. Stepping into this virtual world, she is introduced to an array of impeccably perfect boyfriends, reigniting her long-dormant romantic yearnings.
Seo In-guk stars as Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae's rival and fellow webtoon producer. While he is adept and efficient at work, Mi-rae finds his presence unsettling. Beneath his indifferent and aloof exterior lies a character brimming with unexpected secrets, destined to stir deep emotions within Mi-rae.
Directed by Kim Jung-sik, renowned for his work on web series such as "Work Later, Drink Now" and "No Gain No Love," "Boyfriend on Demand" (WT) promises to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally charged narrative. Jisoo recently made waves in the South Korean drama "Snowdrop" on Disney+ and can currently be seen in the Prime Video zombie comedy "Newtopia." Additionally, she released her debut solo mini album, "Amortage," on February 14th, further showcasing her versatility and talent.
