Boyfriend on demand
Warning after reading everything I have written - it is chaotic review (sorry not sorry) and it contains spoilers (sadly also for some other dramas) - have a nice read :D
Short summary would be - typical, light romcom, perfect to relax. Personally I feel like if you liked Business Proporsal then you will like this. Of course I can be a little biased since I love Seo In Guk and Jisoo but I really believe that it was perfect drama in this genre. Plot is like a mix of: 7 first kisses, Love alarm and Drama stage Love spoiler. Just the same vibe. Although I am a little curious why this app was only for girls, it could be just "dating app" - although I do not know if people would like it if it was "Girlfriend on demand".
Before I will go to characters I want to point out two missed opportunities - Of course I know that in both cases there would be probably copyright issues but they could make it work:
1. since there were so many cameos and they actually were some horror/ bloody scenes I hardly believe that they should make two a little longer scenarios: one for Snowdrop with Jung Hae In since so many people love Jisoo's chemistry with him and one for Newtopia with Park Jeong Min since I love it so much and need more of them.
2. since SIG's character was drawing some couples I believe that it was perfect to draw his previous drama couples.
Now about cameos: there were so many and they were perfect.
Seo Kang Jun was more like a second lead and their storyline was cute - also he had amazing eyes color in it. Chemistry was on point. Their story was nice and cute.
I only wished we got a little more a storyline with bodyguard and enemies to lovers - simply I like this vibe.
I was also happy for some reunions:
SIG and Lee Soo Hyuk.
Netwopia between Jisoo and Lee Hak Joo (he was really fun characters, wished a little that it was a scenario with him, cause their chemistry in Newtopia was nice),
Snowdrop with Yoo In Na and Jisoo,
YG's family between Jisoo, LSH and Yoo In Na.
Moving on to actors/characters:
Jisoo - no, her acting was not bad, neither here neither in her previous roles, she was cute female lead. Her chemistry with everyone was great. She did really amazing. It was so relatable when she was cringing in too cute moments.
Seo In Guk - his character was so cute, near the end I felt that he was giving a vibe of Doom from Doom at your service (which makes me happy since it is my favourite drama) - I mean as hairstyle and some behaviors. Him in red hair, I repeat RED HAIR!!!! He looked great.
I really liked them in "real life" and in the app. In both cases their chemistry was so good and natural. I was happy that there was no unnecessary break up.
Lee Ji Yeon - was amazing friend, she was badass and crazy in good way - also her chemistry with cameos was on point.
Side note: the only other actresses which I can imagine as main female would be Park Bo Young (with SIG as main male character) or Kim Se Jeong (with I do not know who).
Talking about missed opportunities - I found some easter eggs (maybe the ones I only see but whatever):
1. When they were watching horror movie in cinema, when she said she would protect him - it reminded me about her saying that she would protect Park Jeong Min in Newtopia since she killed more zombies
2. Scene where they were reading comics and Jisoo layed her head on his laps and he gave her tangerine- it reminded me when he was reading with Park Bo Young in DAYS.
3. All in all scenes in the meadow reminded me a little of DAYS, when PBY's characters was talking with Deity.
To sum up this too long and chaotic review with too much spoilers for more than one drama XD - I believe that it deserves a chance, if you like romcoms then it is a must have, especially when episodes are not too long and there is only 10. It really is an easy and relaxing watch with cute chemistry and very likeable characters.
