unnecessary hate on boyfriend on demand

boyfriend on demand is fictional but at the same time realistic story , for me, i could relate to so mi rae in lot of ways, like how she cringes at cheesy stuff, how she doesn't have time for anything and if she does she prefers to spend it on her self. I really liked this rom-com since it was really fun to watch, it made me want to try this device. as for people saying jisoo's acting was weird and not "professional" I absolutely disagree, I feel like her acting was realistic and same as I would react in real life. the casting was indeed crazy, never seen this many stars in the same drama before. overall it was really fun, relatable, kinda cheesy and enjoyable drama. 10\10

!! A drama to break free from stress !!

Before I watched, I was worried that what if it becomes flat with just famous actors’ cameo because I didn't like the drama like 7 first kisses. But luckily it was not. I like the way Female Lead always turned back to reality and the plot which makes her turn to it.

I really like how they portrayed a love story between the leads. Some scenes are just simple but romantic. I especially enjoyed the confession scene. Even thought the story is somehow fantasize about AI, I really like they did not take it too far. Because some drama took it too far and include so much plots which they end up badly.

I have seen many comments about Female Lead’s acting. But the actress did an amazing job and I feel this character is exactly for her. But there are also some weakness but I can pass. I enjoied the Male Lead's character here. The Male Lead did a great job to portray his character.

I would say this is a good drama to watch in 2026 compared to other dramas we got so far in similar genere. It might have weakness but those are just minors.

The past can hold you back from better things.

Lately I haven’t been watching any new kdramas since I haven’t seen anything that had caught my attention but when I saw the trailer for this drama. I was very excited to see a something different and not the same concept as other shows.

In the show the FL had given up on dating because of a heart break. Through the boyfriend on demand VR experience she started to feel feelings she thought she had once lost but even though she had realized that she knew that at the end it wasn’t real. Once the VR experience and reality started to become similar and her feelings became complicated. She had to make a choice between starting something new with someone who was real and at the end maybe get hurt or be in the VR world where she knows there doesn’t need to be an end but it won’t be real. When she made her choice to be with the ML she was afraid at first and she knows that everything won’t be perfect but she wanted to do her best with someone who she likes.

Our lives are based on every choice we make and we shouldn’t let past experiences hold us back from greater things from happening.

I honestly really enjoyed this drama it was something different and even unique in my own opinion. I really loved the acting and the cast.

Boyfriend on Demand: A Perfect Blend of Romance, Chemistry, and Cinematic Beauty.

I genuinely enjoyed this drama from beginning to end. What impressed me the most was the chemistry between all the characters. The relationship between the main leads felt very natural and effortless, and their interactions never looked forced. Jisoo and Seo In Guk portrayed their characters with such comfortable and realistic romantic acting that it made the emotional moments feel very genuine and romantic moments were🤭🤭🤭☺️☺️ I felt like I am intruding them😁.

Another thing I really loved about the drama was how even the cameo appearances blended so well with the storyline. The interactions between the female lead and the cameo characters added freshness to the narrative and made the story feel more lively and interesting.

Visually, the drama is absolutely beautiful. The locations were stunning and added a dreamy atmosphere to the story. The cinematography captured these settings perfectly, making many scenes feel almost cinematic. The direction was also very smooth, and the pacing of the story was well balanced. The editing kept the flow of the episodes engaging without feeling rushed or dragged.

The production quality deserves special mention as well. The VFX were used subtly but effectively, enhancing certain scenes without looking exaggerated. Everything felt polished and carefully put together.

I also really loved the OST. The music complemented the emotional tone of the drama perfectly and made many scenes even more memorable.

Overall, Boyfriend on Demand is a very enjoyable drama with a charming storyline, beautiful visuals, and great performances. The chemistry between the actors, especially Jisoo and Seo In Guk, is one of its strongest points, and it makes the romance feel warm and believable. It is definitely a drama I would happily recommend to anyone who enjoys romantic K-dramas with strong character connections and beautiful production quality.

Trust Me: Keep Watching! 100% chemistry

Boyfriend on Demand really surprised me. I started it with high expectations, but the first three episodes honestly made me feel like I had misplaced my hopes. I didn’t enjoy them much, they felt a bit tiring, and at one point I thought about dropping the drama.
But then came the switch. Starting from episode 4, it kept getting better and better, and the final episodes completely won me over. I loved the cast. The drama includes many well-known actors that I already appreciate, and the two leads are actors I like individually, but together they completely stole my heart. Their chemistry was amazing, and I adored all their sweet scenes full of little kisses and cuddles.
What impressed me the most is how something that initially felt like a poorly executed plot turned into such an enjoyable and even fun rom-com by the end.
My advice: don’t get discouraged by the mixed opinions or the very first episodes, keep watching. You might end up loving it and discovering a really great rom-com.

Swipe Right on AI, Left on the Plot

Boyfriend on Demand is built on a premise that feels both futuristic and alarmingly believable. The series follows Seo Mi-rae, a webtoon producer whose life runs on a relentless loop of deadlines, caffeine, and quiet existential dread. She is overworked, emotionally drained, and so buried in her job that dating an actual human being probably feels like signing up for a second full-time position. So when she is offered the chance to test a subscription platform that allows users to experience romantic relationships with AI-generated boyfriends inside immersive fantasy scenarios, she does what any exhausted modern person would do. She clicks “yes” immediately.

And honestly, the first half of the drama is genuinely fun.

The concept taps directly into a very modern fantasy. Romance without inconvenience. These virtual partners are attractive, attentive, emotionally articulate, and perfectly tailored to the user’s preferences. They never forget anniversaries, never say something so baffling that it makes you question their entire personality, and never send those mysterious one-word text replies that somehow carry the emotional weight of a slammed door. The show understands exactly why this fantasy is appealing, and it leans into it with a playful energy that makes the early episodes entertaining.

Part of that charm comes from the rotating parade of AI “boyfriends” Mi-rae encounters inside the platform. Each scenario drops her into a carefully engineered love story designed to feel like the ideal romantic experience. The series even has fun with cameo appearances from actors like Seo Kang-joon and Lee Jae-wook, who pop up as various fantasy partners generated by the system. It is playful, a little ridiculous, and exactly the kind of premise that could spiral into something wonderfully strange if the show fully committed to exploring it.

Meanwhile, Mi-rae’s real life is far less dreamy. Her most consistent interaction with actual humans seems to involve arguing with her coworker Park Gyeong-nam, played by Seo In-guk. He is competent, calm, and irritatingly composed. He is the type of person who somehow manages to handle everything perfectly while everyone else around him looks like they are slowly unraveling. Their dynamic practically shouts that this will become the real romance. The show telegraphs it so loudly that it might as well flash it across the screen in neon.

What makes the premise intriguing is the uncomfortable question lurking underneath it. If someone could experience a perfectly curated romantic relationship in a digital environment, why would they willingly return to the messy unpredictability of real people? Real relationships involve misunderstandings, emotional baggage, awkward silences, and the occasional moment when you look at someone you supposedly love and wonder why they chew food like that.

For a brief moment, the series seems interested in exploring those ideas. It hints at becoming a story about how seductive engineered intimacy could be and how easily someone might drift into a world where romance is always satisfying and never complicated.

Unfortunately, the drama never pushes that idea nearly as far as it should.

Around the midpoint, the story begins repeating itself. Mi-rae cycles through different virtual boyfriends and fantasy scenarios, but the narrative does not evolve much beyond that pattern. The show seems oddly reluctant to dig into the psychological or ethical implications of the platform, which is ironic because that is the most compelling part of the entire concept. Instead of examining why someone might genuinely prefer a flawless digital partner to a real human being, the story gradually drifts away from the technology altogether.

Before long, the virtual dating premise fades into the background, and the series transforms into something far more familiar. It becomes a workplace romantic comedy about two coworkers who argue constantly but are clearly destined to fall in love. It is not a terrible shift, but it does make the original concept feel less like the engine of the story and more like decorative window dressing.

Mi-rae herself is also a somewhat uneven protagonist. She is clearly meant to be relatable, a hardworking professional who stumbles into an escapist fantasy. However, the writing occasionally nudges her behavior into territory that feels immature or oddly unprofessional. Watching her become increasingly absorbed in the platform makes emotional sense at times, but there are moments when you cannot help thinking that someone with her career responsibilities should probably have a little more self-control.

Performance-wise, the cast delivers solid work across the board. Jisoo brings a likable warmth to Mi-rae, while Seo In-guk has the kind of effortless screen presence that can make even a restrained character interesting. The issue is not the actors. The problem is that the script does not give them enough material to build a truly compelling relationship. Their chemistry flickers occasionally, but the story never digs deeply enough into their emotional dynamic to make the romance especially memorable.

In the end, Boyfriend on Demand is an enjoyable drama that never quite reaches the potential of its premise. It begins with a clever idea about digital intimacy and the seductive promise of perfectly engineered romance, but eventually retreats into the comfortable territory of a conventional romantic comedy.

And that is a little disappointing, because the concept had the potential to be strange, unsettling, and unexpectedly insightful about the way technology shapes modern relationships. Instead, the series settles for something lighter and far more familiar.

It is still pleasant to watch, but it just feels a bit like ordering a bold experimental dish, only to realize halfway through that it is basically comfort food wearing a futuristic costume.

I almost forgot how i liked watchig this drama after readjng all those hate comment.

I really hate the fact that all you do is hate Jisoo. They say that they don't like her acting at all, looks stiff, no emotion at all. If the haters were asked to point out where they don't like her acting,can they really do it? I cringed when she acted cringe . I laughed when she acted happy . When she cried ,I also cried . I sincerely felt the story through their acting . I know the chemistry didn't show from the start and started a little late but that's because of the storyline and overall the drama was short. But i would say I could feel the chemistry despite that . And overall i like the story

I would love if the couple showed more screentime but the story focuses on 'boyfriend on demand'

Lets discuss the topic 'boyfriend on demand'
It helped Seo mi rae in healing from the wounds her ex boyfriend gave. I would say it played a major role on her until the end.
- Eun ho sunbae (character in boyfriend on demand) made her think of her ex and actually help in healing her
- her ideal boyfriend (the character she made) helped her in realising her feelings for park kyeong nam and at a bit point giving her tips on getting her better when her boyfriend (park kyeong nam ) found out she used 'boyfriend on demand' and overall when he saw his face being a character on it.
What i really liked about fl is that her character.
-i catch on her competent nature from her little habit on walking ahead of people. Esp in front of ml. That made me giggle as i see the chemistry beneath all those enemies troupe or should i say (hating each other acts).
-She hates cheaters and she is not herself. I catch on that even virtual characters count. Her attachment on one charater points out that she wants true love and know the meaning of it.
She analysed her true feelings when she started to like ml using the virtual ideal bf.
-and to those haters yelling on the character that she doesn't fit that genius producer (she won't have to need on the 'bod' guys please she was wounded and was in the phase she thought she was better alone . She forget all those romantic moments . How could she get the ideas when she was dull herself? She got those ideas from the fling moment. And webtoon ...that's all about puting your feelings into . With no emotions ,how could one ? Huh .
I like the ending when she said goodbye to the virtual character
I was on my toes how would the story of the couple would end but i was satisfied when she said
Now it's 'us'
So i was rest assured they would last long and endure together . Let me say this 'I love HAPPY ENDINGS.
And one thing why I like this drama is they tried to show how different individuals use the 'bod'
The webtoon artist and her freind.
Let's end this . If you stayed reading this upto the end I really appreciate it. This is my first review on drama. That's the dedication pulled out when one truly loves the drama and the cast and haters went on hating
ONCE AGAIN HAPPY ENDING!!

Great idea, terrible execution

I waited for this kdrama for a good while, and was really expecting a good story but it did not deliver.
It's almost the same as the anime "Rent a Girlfriend", but better. Has similar aspects such as going on dates with a pretty person.

I didn't have any feels for the main character Seo Mi-rae. Jisoo is beautiful, her visuals are good, but her acting skills in this show are like watching cardboard try to cry. I didn't have one spark of feels for the character. Every time the character is supposed to be heartbroken, in love, and so on, she just has the same look. It's hard to have feels for the character when the actress looks like she's just thinking about nothing inside her head.

The chemistry between the two main leads were non-existent. Seo In-guk was doing all the heavy lifting, but you can't have fire without two matches. Their romance was so forced.

At first I thought the idea of an AI Boyfriend IRL was interesting. But the whole thing with the AI Boyfriend started getting old after episode 3. We get it, he's perfect, he's fake let's move on please?? The drama spent way too much time on virtual dates instead of actually making the real life characters likable.

And don't get me wrong, all the comedy aspects in this drama was great, and actually funny. But it really just got boring after a while and I wanted it this drama to just end.

LIKES:

- The Cameos: Honestly, the only reason to watch. Lee Soo-hyuk and Lee Jae-wook actually looked like they wanted to be there.

- The Music: The OST's are great. The songs managed to deliver more than the script itself.

- The Aesthetics: It looked expensive, it looked nice. Shame they spent all that money on lights and none on a better script (guess one of the reasons why they didn't put the screenwriter).

DISLIKES:

- Jisoo's Acting: I'm sorry, but she just was just mediocre. She's too stiff. No range, just vibes. She's better of than just being an idol instead of trying to force into being an actress. But she still did manage to pull of some scenes though. Tbh, she should've just left it at Newtopia and focused on singing and dancing.

- Zero Logic: Why is she a "genius" producer if she can't solve a single basic problem without her VR boyfriend? She was written to be “strong” but came off as totally helpless.

- The Ending: After all that waiting, the payoff was so weak. It felt like as if I was robbed of my time.

OVERALL:

Boyfriend on Demand is what happens when you have a huge budget, big stars, but no soul. The drama is really not wow worthy but just, fine. It's pretty to look at, but it's garbage on inside. If you want to see Jisoo look pretty, watch her music videos. If you want to watch a good drama, skip this.

Hating to hate

Some people here have some unbiased opinions on the show, but most people here are just trying to jump on the idol actress hate bandwagon which is really sad. This drama is light hearted, fun and unserious, but y’all want Oscar acting and and insane performances. This drama wasn’t made for that and yes rom coms can be serious but this one isn’t about that. The whole atmosphere is fun and I think all the actors did a great job. Jisoo is obviously the most talked about but i genuinely don’t see how her acting is bad ??? And don’t get me wrong im not saying she is the best actress ever but is she bad ? No! I feel like y’all should give this a go, and see for yourself if you like it or not. Don’t let the haters make you think this is bad in any way.

I Expected a Romcom Popcorn Flix and that's what I got.

It's a typical Romcom, nothing special.
The VR(AI like Dating sim) is definitely a timely topic. I mean South Korea and Japan birth rate is all time low and this is one of the many reason( If you dont have much money and you dont want to get stressed out then u do this.

For example Dating Sims, Visual Novels, even the gaaaccha ones. Wether you like men or women.

As for the story its simple and relatable.
Its something I could watch on the get go as theres not much thinking to do.

POPCORN ROMCOM FLIX. 🍿
Biased opinion from a romcom lover like me.
Watched all the Harem or Romance Anime. Prob one of the reason I liked this.

Boyfriend on Demand: When Virtual Romance Meets Reality

This is my humble review of the drama Boyfriend on Demand. In short, I liked it. But I will elaborate a bit.

The drama introduces a problem in our modern society. People spend so much time working that only a few hours are left for their own enjoyment. Many people like dating, getting into relationships and falling in love but because their time is precious, they become more and more afraid of commitment. What if they waste their time on the wrong person? What if they never find their soulmate?

Because of this, there has been a rise in romance simulation games. In those games, you can date multiple people without being afraid that something will go wrong or that you will get hurt. The drama handled this aspect very beautifully. It didn’t judge people for playing these kinds of “superficial” games but instead explored the reasons behind them.
It also showed how easily people can fall in love with fictional characters—from games, dramas, idols, or anime—but also how important it is to stay connected with reality.

The only thing I didn’t really like was how little screen time the male lead had in the first half and how jumpy the female lead became whenever she was embarrassed. Sometimes that made me cringe a bit. I can’t guarantee that this drama is a masterpiece, but it is a good binge-watch. It’s enjoyable, light, and might even make you think about the messages it tries to convey to the audience.
