It’s been a while since I actually enjoyed a drama this much. I finished the whole thing in one sitting. Didn’t get the middle, no skipping scenes, didn’t continue like I do with many other series. It was just genuinely fun to watch from beginning to end.
I would honestly recommend everyone to give Boyfriend on Demand a chance without any prejudice, especially because there is an idol actress in it. Sometimes people decide beforehand that idol actors can’t act well, but this drama proves otherwise. Jisoo’s acting was honestly the best part of the show for me. She felt natural, charming and very easy to connect with. Her expressions, comedic timing and the way she carried emotional moments were all really good. Romcom suits her a lot, and after watching this I genuinely hope she does more projects in this genre.
The cameos were also a fun. Among them, Lee Soohyuk’s appearance was definitely my favorite. He looked so dreamy, almost unreal, which made him perfect for the whole “virtual boyfriend” concept. Honestly he fit the vibe of that role perfectly.
As for the story itself, I liked the main idea behind it. The drama tries to show how people sometimes get lost in unrealistic romance fantasies and forget the value of real relationships. It contrasts the perfect, dreamy virtual romance with something more genuine.
But I ended up feeling that the main male lead Kyungnam was also a bit unrealistic in his own way. He is such a green flag..... kind, warm, patient, supportive almost too perfect. Partners like that feel a bit rare in real life. So while the drama tries to remind us that real relationships matter more than fantasy ones, Kyungnam himself still feels like a bit of a fantasy boyfriend.
Still, overall it was a really enjoyable watch. Light, entertaining, relatable, refreshing, definitely re watchable
