The trailer for Netflix’s Korean rom-com series ‘Boyfriend on Demand’, starring Blackpink’s Jisoo, has dropped, teasing a whimsical mix of virtual escapades and real-world romance.

Jisoo plays Mi-rae, a hardworking webtoon producer who feels trapped in her daily routine. To escape, she signs up for a subscription-based virtual dating simulation, where each date is crafted to match her ideal fantasy. The show’s title comes directly from this in-story service, offering tailored romantic scenarios that bring Mi-rae’s dreams to life.

Set against the backdrop of office life, the series highlights the tension between the perfect virtual world and the unpredictability of real-life connections. As Mi-rae navigates one imaginative date after another, she repeatedly crosses paths with Kyeong-nam (played by Seo In-guk), her officemate, leading to a slow-burn romance that challenges her ideas of the “perfect” partner.
