BLACKPINK's Jisoo and actor Seo In-guk are set to charm audiences in the upcoming Korean romantic comedy series "Boyfriend on Demand," slated to stream on Netflix.
The series revolves around Seo Mi-rae, played by Jisoo, a dedicated webtoon producer who finds herself immersed in an unusual romance after subscribing to a virtual reality dating service called "Monthly Boyfriend." This high-concept premise promises to blend technology with heartfelt storytelling as Mi-rae navigates her career and newfound romantic adventures.
Seo In-guk takes on the role of Park Kyeong-nam, a rival webtoon producer known for his icy demeanor but harboring deeper complexities. His dynamic with Mi-rae is expected to inject both rivalry and romantic tension into the plot.
Director Kim Jung-sik, known for his adept handling of comedy-dramas like "Work Later, Drink Now" (2021) and romance "No Gain No Love" (2024), leads the production. His track record suggests a blend of wit and emotional depth, ensuring "Boyfriend on Demand" delivers on both its high-tech premise and character-driven narratives.
The series marks another strategic move by Netflix to expand its Korean content portfolio, following a series of successful romances. With a slate unveiled for 2025, Netflix continues to bolster its offerings in the genre, catering to global audiences with captivating storytelling and diverse talent.
