Dropping March 6 (Friday) on Netflix, "Boyfriend on Demand" is a romantic comedy about Mirae (JISOO), a webtoon PD worn out by real life who turns to a virtual dating simulation to “subscribe to love” and test-drive her dream romance.
"Boyfriend on Demand" is also the name of the in-story virtual dating subscription service. On top of a relatable office-life backdrop, the unique “love-by-subscription in a virtual world” setup promises a thrilling flutter. JISOO brings her signature lovable, down-to-earth energy to Mirae, while her pairing with Seo In-guk―known for standout romance chemistry―has viewers buzzing.
In the main trailer, the “virtual partners” who will make tired-from-reality Mirae’s heart race drew major attention. Special appearances by Seo Kang-jun, Lee Soo-hyuk, Ong Seong-wu, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Young-dae, and Jay Park set the stage for romantic moments with JISOO, each with a different vibe. Fresh stills released on the 24th showcase their many charms as Mirae’s virtual lovers―and even tease Kim Sung-cheol as the “ex-boyfriend” from her real life, raising anticipation.
First up, Eun-ho (Seo Kang-jun) faces Mirae under a shower of cherry blossoms on campus. Their meet-cute feels straight out of a youthful romance―sparking curiosity about where their story goes. Then Siu (Lee Soo-hyuk) captivates Mirae with a completely different appeal. As a third-generation chaebol, he treats her to glittering, high-end dates. He seems cool and flawless, but the way he looks at Mirae practically burns.
There’s more: a secret agent (Ong Seong-wu) who appears before flight attendant Mirae, a take-charge senior doctor (Lee Jae-wook), a charming judge (Lee Hyun-wook), and even a top star (Jay Park). Each promises a different kind of heart-fluttering date.
Meanwhile, the arrival of Mirae’s ex, Se-jun (Kim Sung-cheol), cranks up curiosity about how her real-life romance will unfold―apart from the virtual world.
Featuring Seo In-guk and Kim Sung-cheol in reality―and Seo Kang-jun, Lee Soo-hyuk, Ong Seong-wu, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Young-dae, and Jay Park in the virtual lineup―"Boyfriend on Demand" premieres March 6 (Friday) on Netflix.
