So I was hyped for this one K-drama ever since I watched the trailer. It didn't disappoint me at all. The story was a breath of fresh; it was fun, easygoing and had just the right amout of quirks to keep you watching. The cast was fun to watch. I really loved the office scenes. I persomally loved the rivalry between Mirae and Kyeongnam. It was really funny and cute. That being said, I do wish there were more scenes between the two because they were so cute together. Now with that being said, this brings us to a few issues that could have handled better.

The pacing threw me off guard sometimes. The first few episodes focused on the VR boyfriends and it was fun to see all these different cameos. But it sort of dragged on for longer than it should have when all this time could have been used to develop the relationship with the leads. The Seo Eun Ho storyline should have ended in college as soon as she accepted the breakup for what it was. But I did like the way Mirae got the ick from Eunho. It could have ended earlier to explore more of the actual relationship instead. The reality aspect was far more charming than the fantasy one although I loved the dating manager. But since it's a rom-com fantasy drama, I should not complain much about how they focused more on the fantasy aspect when the reality aspect was their strength.

Boyfriend on Demand is a fun drama to binge watch but it was let down by the pacing and not untapping the full potential of the leads.
