Netflix Korea has unveiled a fresh batch of stills from the highly anticipated romantic comedy Boyfriend on Demand, offering fans a glimpse into the virtual and real-world dynamics between leads Jisoo and Seo In-guk. Released via the platform's official accounts, these images highlight the series' blend of futuristic romance and everyday workplace tension, building anticipation for what promises to be a light-hearted yet thought-provoking K-drama.
The new stills capture Jisoo as Seo Mi-rae, a burnt-out webtoon producer navigating the highs and lows of her demanding career. One particularly striking image shows her bundled up in cozy winter attire, complete with fluffy earmuffs and mittens, gazing thoughtfully into a snowy landscape. The soft snowfall and blurred urban backdrop evoke a sense of quiet introspection, hinting at Mi-rae's yearning for escape from her routine.
Another still depicts Seo In-guk as Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae's colleague and rival, in a more professional setting, his expression a mix of focus and subtle intrigue. The photos also tease moments of interaction between the two, where their on-screen chemistry shines through in subtle glances and shared spaces, suggesting the entanglement that unfolds as virtual fantasies spill into reality.
What is Boyfriend on Demand about?
Boyfriend on Demand, also known by its Korean title Monthly Boyfriend, centers on Seo Mi-rae, an exhausted webtoon producer who has little time or energy for real-life romance. Seeking solace, she subscribes to a cutting-edge virtual dating service called "Monthly Boyfriend," which allows users to experience idealized dates in a simulated reality. Through this app, Mi-rae encounters perfect virtual partners that awaken her long-dormant desires for love and excitement. However, the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur when her experiences start influencing her interactions with Park Kyeong-nam, her competent but distant coworker. As she tries to avoid him, their paths become increasingly intertwined, introducing unexpected variables into her everyday life.
The series delves into themes of emotional burnout, the impact of technology on human connections, and personal growth. It's described as a bubbly romantic comedy that offers a fresh take on love in the digital age, with Mi-rae's journey highlighting the contrast between hassle-free virtual romances and the messy, rewarding nature of real relationships. The narrative promises plenty of visual flair, moving seamlessly between vibrant virtual worlds—like cherry blossom campuses and sunny beaches—and the more grounded office environments. Jisoo has shared that the drama portrays Mi-rae's gradual evolution amid real-world challenges, making it both entertaining and relatable. Seo In-guk emphasizes the unique premise, noting how it juxtaposes romances in both realms for an appealing storytelling experience.
