Rom-coms aren't really my favorite genre but I've watched a ton of them and for me "Boyfriend on Demand" is basically what a rom-com should be. The real challenge with rom-coms is keeping that romantic spark alive without the comedy falling flat. Lately, I don't think we've had any rom-coms that really hit the mark like the ones from early last decade (2010-2019). Back then they were legit amazing with solid original plots like "The Legend of the Blue Sea", "Kill Me Heal Me", "You're Beautiful", "I'm Not a Robot", "Fated to Love You"... They probably wouldn't be 10/10 now since they've aged a bit but back then they went all in on the humor and the love stories were incredible. These days rom-coms try to be all realistic and grounded but I end up getting bored, especially once the main couple gets together that spark just isn't there like it used to be. That's why I think "Boyfriend on Demand" pulled off something crazy in 2026 by giving us an actual original rom-com with a plot that makes sense. When we got that trainwreck "Dynamite Kiss" in late 2025, I'm honestly surprised anyone would call "Boyfriend on Demand" a bad drama

Yeah I feel you, his old stuff isn't really my thing either, honestly it's kinda surprising I ended up liking her latest drama this much. For his next drama, that cast it's basically Russian roulette since JJH used to be like the queen of comedy before her break, so maybe she's trying to get back into something lighter?

We'll see who's right, then :) Sorry for being so harsh earlier, but when it comes to boyfriend on demand there are just as many bad reviews as there are good ones. And I don't see why your dissatisfaction should hold more weight or be more factual in claiming this drama is bad

This director is insane and his last romcom was literally perfect. I’ve got a feeling this drama’s gonna be fire with that cast and him directing, I trust him completely. He knows how to pull off serious and light without it being cringe or shallow as hell. Don’t get too full of yourself, by the way

After I finished the first episode I went straight to check the reactions and yeah, people don’t seem that bothered. I was kinda hoping we’d all be outraged together bc if we let this slide now, we’re gonna end up with some crazy stuff in the future. From what I’ve read Koreans don’t really seem bothered by the use of AI at all so there’s not much hope that our opposition to it will be heard. Guess all that’s left is to just sit back and watch 💀

Using AI in it really pulled me out of the drama. I even started wondering if the script was written with AI too... Where I’m from, AI is heavily criticized especially in artistic spaces and for a drama where the male lead is literally an animator, it honestly hurts to see AI-generated drawings. I’m sure they have the budget to hire skilled artists. At this point I genuinely feel like the drama is low quality, and I couldn’t even enjoy the rest of the episode because I was so annoyed. I’d be really disappointed if the future of dramas becomes fully AI, bc when I watch something I’m here for art and humanity, not a soulless product. For the writing my critical thinking is kind of clouded right now. I can’t even tell if it’s good or bad, I just know I’m bitter and unable to appreciate it anymore

cadre marocain ?

I’m so hyped!!

I had such a good time watching this drama. I thought I was over rom-coms because of Would You Marry Me but this one proved me wrong

tout ça pour mettre 6,5

thank you 🫶🏻

Hi, do you know when the next episodes will be released?

I hope Yeong Rye and Jeong Hyeon end up as the final couple 😩

Uh 💀 chill, it’s a light and funny drama. If you already hate the actors, of course you’re not gonna enjoy it..

I just need to detach myself from the webtoon to enjoy it 🥲 they basically just took the concept, but it's still fun to watch!!

I can’t believe how into it I am!! I've only seen 4 episodes so far, but I’m already hooked and keep imagining all kinds of things that might happen next!

I'm also a huge fan of LJS, and I'm planning to start this drama even though the reviews are kinda mixed :/ Legal dramas aren't really my thing, and I'm a bit confused by his choice to take on this project, but I’m gonna try to watch the whole thing to see where it goes!!

Killed it, thanks for the hard work 🙌🏻

I’d say he’s underrated... People only focus on his looks. Lately all I’ve seen is people calling him ugly, and he’s not really at the top anymore like he was back in 2016… His peak was more like 2013 to 2020. Saying he’s overrated now just feels dishonest, he’s barely even in the spotlight these days. And I’d like to add his filmography is amazing. He picks his roles really well and you can tell he puts in serious work

I'm waiting for Lee Jong Suk to star in a romantic historical drama 🫣. Do you think that's possible? I've never seen him in any historical drama throughout his career. It's my dream 😔
