Yall saying this is not.... you're wrong.
Listen, I will always respect erroneous opinions. But this drama brought me (and thousands of X users) back to the binge-watching K-drama life!For the first time in years, I finished a drama in less than three days. I don't know what y’all watched, or why you're saying the acting was bad or that there was no chemistry, because OMG my soul left my body several times watching this. I laughed out loud, I felt nervous, and I even felt pretty myself—if that makes any sense. Let me tell you, I was the first to feel disappointed when I found out what this drama was about. What do you mean AI-created boys you date in a virtual game?
I also wasn't sure about the Seo In‑guk and Jisoo pairing, but I found myself hyping them up as if my life depended on it.
I'm 27 years old—why am I crying over this beautiful tall man who yearns every time he breathes?
Seo In‑guk redefines longing—the waiting, the hope. I've never felt more desperate for a character to be loved. Jisoo's acting felt so natural that some of y’all are calling her weird and plain. Girl can act, and she has this drama to prove it. Their chemistry was overwhelming. At times I literally paused the show just to thank myself for giving this a chance.
After I finished Boyfriend on Demand, I remembered why it's so hard for me to find a boyfriend in real life: the standards, baby.
-Rom-coms are back.
-Longing, yearning, one-sided beef.
-He fell first. He fell harder.
-Not your typical boring clichés.
And more objectively speaking, Boyfriend on Demand is a fantasy rom-com. Don’t come here expecting an incredible storyline—there’s nothing life-changing about it. It’s simply an enjoyable drama: funny, romantic, and full of cameos that, honestly, are the least important part.

Had potential but it failed.
Good things first :Ji Chan Wook. This man can act. I think that's what kept me going with this drama.
The "documentary" format they tried to follow was interesting, it didn't affect the story thou. Could've been better.
The three couples storyline was fun because they were different and "realistic" .
Ok. Now the review. I never write reviews but honestly I just finished the drama and I have a lot to say.
I understand what they tried to do. Yes, it's not the typical series, the time jumps keep you with your eyes open, there's a good chemistry between the leads and JCW's extremely awesome histrionic abilities. But there's no more.
It had all the potential to become an amazing romcom but it failed. The leads' story started to go in circles and then suddenly they were just together. They built all this tension and angst for a two minute conversation at the end.
The Rin-in and Kyeong-jun couple was cute and it seemed like it would develop with an interesting plot but WHY they did them dirty at the end. Srsly???!!
And the other two characters were SO interesting but SO wasted.
Plus WTF was that final episode? I mean, I love Cho Minho but what about the other characters?
I don't know. There's a lot of things in this drama that were just meh.
If you wanna watch it, do it. It's not for everyone but it's entertaining.
Note:
- I hated the female lead so much, I'm sorry.
-I appreciate the 30 min. Episodes
