Netflix has promised viewers the romantic journey of a lifetime through the eyes of Mirae in Boyfriend on Demand. With such a superb lineup and quirky storyline, the series is already building up anticipation, but there are some points you won’t want to miss before watching.
BLACKPINK Jisoo stars as the lead of this romantic comedy and is thrust into a universe where she encounters all of her ideal types. From steamy dates after school to romancing by the beach and getting caught in the rain, Boyfriend on Demand lets K-Drama fans vicariously indulge in their fantasies with an extraordinary lineup of actors. Before you join Jisoo on her dream dates, check out these three takeaways that will further cement your interest in the series.
A Mysterious Virtual Dating Service
Online dating is the new norm, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a drag. Like anyone, Mirae is exhausted from her work life and even more tired when it comes to romance. Boyfriend on Demand takes modern dating to a seriously new level. Just like the webtoon of the same name, simply wearing a virtual dating device allows anyone to enjoy 900 themed dates in a virtual world. This captivating story with endless possibilities resonates with modern people’s romantic desires and doesn’t make romance seem like a chore. However, the ending is what really draws empathy from viewers as Mirae, who has been hurt by past relationships, finds the courage to embrace love through a realistic conclusion and offers hope to the audience.
The Unexpected Love Antics of Seo In Guk and Jisoo
Seo In Guk plays the role of Kyungnam and appears to be a cynical character who often overshadows Mirae with his brilliance. The meeting between Jisoo and Seo In Guk’s characters is the highlight of the drama, as Kyungnam is considered the ace of the show, but to Mirae, he’s an indecipherable person. His manners can be infuriating, but he proves to be an endearing character as the story progresses. The two webtoon producers become “overtime workmates” and realize they have more mutual interests than expected. Despite Mirae venturing into virtual space to find her love, their two narratives begin to sync, and she becomes troubled by her romantic impasse. The classic love-hate scenarios of the main characters build towards a fulfilling ending worth waiting for.
900 Dates and Endless K-Drama Fantasies
Most K-Drama viewers have dreamed of a lavish date where their partner buys designer clothes, splurges on expensive dinners at fancy restaurants, and drives away into the sunset. Jisoo lives out these exact scenarios and more! In a virtual world where anything can happen, the multiple dates with irresistible bachelors captivate viewers. Seo Kang Joon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Ong Seong Wu, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Young Dae and Jay Park are all set to create swoon-worthy moments with her character, each bringing their own distinct charm. From a boy-next-door crush, Joseon warrior, and a secret agent to a total rich prince with intellectual charm and a firefighter filled with unbridled passion and strength, the second-hand satisfaction will keep viewers glued to the screen.
