AI Generated Summary
BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is set to make her TV comeback with Netflix’s romantic comedy Boyfriend on Demand, marking her first K-drama role since the zombie thriller Newtopia.
The series pairs Jisoo with singer-actor Seo In-guk and is slated for a global Netflix debut on March 6, with the streamer dropping a teaser on February 5 that opens with the line: “Worked to the bone, sick of dating, but still want romance?”
Jisoo takes on the role of Seo Mi-rae, an overworked webtoon producer worn down by job pressures and relationship fatigue. Seo In-guk plays Park Kyeong-nam, a colleague and rival whose constant competitiveness heightens tensions between them. Exhausted by real life, Mi-rae turns to a futuristic option: a subscription service called Monthly Boyfriend, an AI dating simulation that lets users design ideal partners without the messiness of real emotions.
The programme offers a string of tailored virtual dates, from yacht trips and beach escapes to traditional Korean settings and K-pop concert experiences, but the series explores how thin the line can be between artificial companionship and genuine feeling.
Netflix summed up the show as: “An exhausted webtoon producer escapes reality through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation program, where she gets to experience the dates of her dreams.”
The question of whether an algorithm can create real love sits at the heart of the 10-episode drama. Directed by Kim Jung-sik, Boyfriend on Demand was filmed in the Philippines and features a supporting ensemble that includes Gong Min-jeung, Kim Ah-young, Seo Kang-joon, Lee Soo-hyuk, Kim Young-dae and Lee Jae-wook.
Initially intended for broadcast on MBC, the series ultimately secured a global release through Netflix. Early reactions to the teaser were swift, with fans expressing excitement over Jisoo’s return to romantic drama and interest in the show’s mix of workplace rivalry, modern dating anxieties and tech-driven romance.
