Boyfriend on Demand (WT) will be set in virtual reality
Netflix announces the production of Boyfriend on Demand (working title), starring Blackpink’s Jisoo and Seo In-guk. In this new romantic comedy series, exhausted webtoon producer Mi-rae escapes reality through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation program, where she meets the boyfriends of her dreams. Blending the relatable challenges of daily work life and a never-before-seen virtual reality dating subscription program, Boyfriend on Demand (WT) promises to revolutionize dating.
Jisoo takes on the role of Seo Mi-rae, who longs for a second chance at love in virtual reality. Accustomed to a nonexistent dating life due to her hectic schedule, Mi-rae receives a Monthly Boyfriend device by chance. Entering this virtual reality, she encounters unrealistically perfect boyfriends, awakening her dormant desires for romance.
Seo In-guk (Doom at Your Service, Café Minamdang) plays Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae’s colleague and rival webtoon producer. He’s capable and competent at work, but Mi-rae feels uneasy around him. Despite his indifferent and cold demeanor, he’s a character with surprising secrets, sure to stir emotions in Mi-rae.
Directed by Kim Jung-sik (Work Later, Drink Now, No Gain No Love), who skillfully balances romance and comedy, Boyfriend on Demand (WT) is set to deliver heart-fluttering moments and laughter.
