Tried my best but couldn’t finish it
really wanted to like Boyfriend on Demand. The premise is fun and modern — a virtual boyfriend service that explores loneliness, relationships, and emotional vulnerability in the digital age. Unfortunately, after eight episodes my patience simply ran out and I had to drop it.
My biggest issue with the drama is the female lead. I struggled to understand her motivations throughout the episodes I watched. The story repeatedly tells us that she is resistant to relationships, but it never meaningfully shows us why. We’re given hints that there may be deeper reasons for her hesitation, yet the narrative doesn’t explore her backstory in enough detail to make her behaviour feel grounded or emotionally believable.
Because of this, I found it almost impossible to empathize with her. Her actions often felt frustrating rather than relatable, and the writing didn’t provide enough insight into her inner world to bridge that gap.
