A Short Review
On LETTERBOXD, I gave it a 4 out 5 stars = on MYDRAMALIST, 8 out of 10
The reason why I gave it that many stars is simple, I thought overall the show was well written and I guess I believe it's important right now, as we fight against AI. I mean I'm surprised it took this long to write a show or a movie about this premise.
About Jisoo - I've watched Snowdrop and Newtopia, because I was curious, and WAS a big Blackpink fan, and wanted to support Jisoo, however I felt conflicted. I didn't know if I liked Jisoo's acting or If I was just bias. But after watching Boyfriend on Demand, the answer is official; she can clearly act. I mean sure she'll have a few that didn't hit home for me, but still impressive for someone who started acting professionally in 2021 so there's that.
I don't need to really say anything about the ML, I think we all know he can act, but I'll simply say this: He's a big Green Flag, who I thought his character was funny and sort of a slow-burn on itself. I felt like I could simply tell who this character was just by the way he stood in the background or how he looked at other people.
Generally, I thought this show was fun. It was really funny at times and knew when to take it's self serious. Though I wish they went more in depth with what AI does or the real cons of AI, but it might not be a ROM-COM if they truly dove into it all. Characters felt seen and real. And overall I thought the show was super well paced.
