Who Hasn't Wished for The Perfect Boyfriend
A relationship angst tale with a twist. A webtoon producer is asked to try a new virtual reality world where she can find and date her dream boyfriend and then write some reviews on the platform. Jisoo plays the webtoon producer. She is good in the part, depressed and full of angst as she just broke up with her long-time love, she agrees to try this dating app because she really isn't ready to date yet.
The Boyfriend on Demand platform steals the show. She gets to date one after another perfect men, who are played by Korea's leading male actors, and go on amazing dates. In one fantasy date, the writers recreated the scene from Singles Inferno where Dex single-handedly pulls his competitors with him as he gets to the flag first. The writers had great fun with the scenes surrounding using this platform, and it was very entertaining for the audience. If you are a fan of Kdramas, and reality shows, you will appreciate the BOD scenes.
Enter the male lead, done well by Seo In Guk who gets the award for playing the most stoic character. It was at least halfway through the drama before he cracked a smile. He is attracted to the FL from afar, but you can hardly tell.
Once the two begin to attract the attention of each other, the drama begins to slow down. I still stuck with it, but the last half, after Mi Rae decides not to spend so much time on the BOD app, the storyline definitely dulls a little. Still, all in all, it is a feel good drama with a nice ending that I can recommend. For anything else, go check out the BOD platform scenes. They are hilarious and well done!
