Reviews

It’s been a while since I actually enjoyed a drama this much. I finished the whole thing in one sitting. Didn’t get the middle, no skipping scenes, didn’t continue like I do with many other series. It was just genuinely fun to watch from beginning to end.

I would honestly recommend everyone to give Boyfriend on Demand a chance without any prejudice, especially because there is an idol actress in it. Sometimes people decide beforehand that idol actors can’t act well, but this drama proves otherwise. Jisoo’s acting was honestly the best part of the show for me. She felt natural, charming and very easy to connect with. Her expressions, comedic timing and the way she carried emotional moments were all really good. Romcom suits her a lot, and after watching this I genuinely hope she does more projects in this genre.

The cameos were also a fun. Among them, Lee Soohyuk’s appearance was definitely my favorite. He looked so dreamy, almost unreal, which made him perfect for the whole “virtual boyfriend” concept. Honestly he fit the vibe of that role perfectly.

As for the story itself, I liked the main idea behind it. The drama tries to show how people sometimes get lost in unrealistic romance fantasies and forget the value of real relationships. It contrasts the perfect, dreamy virtual romance with something more genuine.

But I ended up feeling that the main male lead Kyungnam was also a bit unrealistic in his own way. He is such a green flag..... kind, warm, patient, supportive almost too perfect. Partners like that feel a bit rare in real life. So while the drama tries to remind us that real relationships matter more than fantasy ones, Kyungnam himself still feels like a bit of a fantasy boyfriend.

Still, overall it was a really enjoyable watch. Light, entertaining, relatable, refreshing, definitely re watchable

Don’t Judge It Too Early! A Lovely Drama ?

Honestly, I don’t understand why some people are judging this drama after watching only the first one or two episodes.At first it may seem slow, but once the story starts developing, it becomes really interesting and emotional. If you stop early, you’ll completely miss the charm of this drama.
Jisoo did a great job with her role.Finished watching bod it was so good 😭
Every episode is exciting the chemistry of jisoo and inguk is through the roof Cute romcom moments and
If you’re looking for a cute, bingeable K-drama with a fresh twist on romance, this is definitely for you. You will laugh,
you will smile, you will swoon, and you also get to see some of your faves.

Why surfjava Series is peak and u should watch it

Ok can we talk about how underrated surfjava acting is? So before I start, DONT hate on me but I lowk forgot their characters names so ima call them by their real name. This show is lowk giving bad Buddy but in a different way. Ok now back to this damn peak show: there is 2 gangs and they lowk hate each other like they are rivals and the thing about these gangs is that they have a leader in their gangs. What surf group doesnt know is that he prayed to the goddesses that if he gets the power to be the leader then he will repay by visiting 9 temples. Next thing yk the time comes where he starts to get bad luck and realize he hasn’t visited the temples. On his first temple he meet Java,Java to gotta visit 9 temples so they lowk tag along. Ima lowk leave it at that but let’s just say u WILL cry (maybe)

A Drama Worth Watching Despite the Unfair Criticism

I just finished watching this drama, and honestly the low ratings and negative comments feel unfair. A lot of the criticism seems to focus on the female lead because she’s from a big K-pop group instead of judging the story itself.

The drama is actually well written and reflects real-life situations many women go through—especially the fear of falling in love again after a failed relationship. With the help of AI, the story slowly uncovers the emotions she buried deep inside while meeting different people, each with their own stories and lessons.

My favorite pairing is with seo kang joon—they really have great chemistry. But more than that, the scene where she remembers her ex while she’s with him was so emotional. It felt like the moment she finally started accepting what happened in her past relationship, and it honestly made me teary. The actress portrayed that scene so well—you could really feel all the emotions.

I really hope they get another drama together. I also hope people give this drama a fair chance and focus on the story, not on who the actress is, especially when some feedback clearly comes from people who already dislike her or her group.

PS: I’m not really into K-pop groups—I’m more into good TV series and movies. I rarely post reviews, but this drama truly deserves fair feedback and better ratings.

A nostalgic 9/10 that prioritizes "Comfort" over "Complexity"

If you’ve been struggling to finish K-dramas lately because they feel "too serious" or "too Western," you need to watch this. It’s a total throwback to the 2017–2018 era of dramas like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and Legend of the Blue Sea.
1.Why I loved it:
It was so comforting.It’s not trying to be a complex masterpiece. It’s just fun, silly, and full of butterflies.
2.Relatable Lead: People are pressed about the "AI dating" aspect, but the FL just perfectly captures that feeling of being too tired for real-life dating. It hit home for me.
3.The Vibes: It reminded me why I fell in love with K-dramas in the first place the tropes, the warmth, and that "stay up all night" excitement.
4.Final Thoughts:
It’s nostalgic, charming, and genuinely happy. It feels like a warm hug after a long day. If you miss the classic rom-com formula without the crazy plot twists every five minutes, don’t skip this one!

Mediocre at best.

This drama commits the gravest sin a mystery can possibly commit: it insults the audience’s intelligence. The identity of the killer is painfully obvious from the very first episode, to the point that the supposed suspense feels almost comical. Instead of constructing a layered narrative that invites speculation, the story telegraphs its answer so loudly that one wonders whether subtlety was ever considered.
The pacing does not help its case either. Scenes drag on with little narrative momentum, stretching simple developments into tedious sequences that feel far longer than they need to be. What should have been tension instead becomes monotony. At several points the drama feels less like a thriller and more like a slow march toward a conclusion the viewer already reached hours earlier.
By the time the story finally arrives at its intended revelations, there is no shock left to deliver, only a sense of exhausted confirmation. In the end, The Art of Sarah is not offensively bad, but perhaps something worse: profoundly dull. A mystery that cannot sustain intrigue is a hollow one, and this series unfortunately proves that point with remarkable consistency.

ML: 9; Woo Joo: 10; everthing else 0

what a frustrating story!!!! FL is just the worst, both the character and the actress. I hate how she is so selfish and idiot to believe herself so much just because two people confessed to her. she is never thinking about the kid for god sakes! how does she dare to put another man into the kids life! even if you want to date him don’t bring just anybody to the kid!

the 2ML is controlling, nosy and mean to the top. I can’t believe the things he said to ML about his family being at fault if he was adopted too. he more than everyone should know that you don’t pick your family. it’s just too much to bear.

I think ML character was very well portrayed and written it’s a shame they wasted such a good story.

I literally just gave 7 because of the baby and ML, but I’m being very benevolent.

Started out good, ended up flat or subpar.

it isn't a brilliant work but its an okay series. love is complicated kinda show. (the heart wants what it wants)
the pilot ep was actually interesting and good, but rest of the show felt flat. (mehhh)

Summary:
I don't think there's a single one to blame here but all of them have their own flaws, i mean nobody's perfect although they're red flags and jerks here, can't deny it. I go to that later to shorten my summary.

I personally don't understand the hate of jim-toh.
I personally feel jim-toh's story more complex, intriguing and meet with scenarios that fit with people their age & reality. (school settings, we all see before rl school drama LIVE in your schools and gossips from the neighboring schools- all kinds of absurdity) The couple actually reflect some real life couples more if you think about it. Can't say that for older and more mature people, but if u focus on the school settings, many fluffy drama actually are fairytale, this is the kind of story that is always around campus somewhere. it might not be your life story but still possibly a friend's friend situation somewhere because i heard similar stories multiple times irl. fr. (or even someone once close to you)

The starting plot was actually really well done i think, i just felt the story started to go plain after, it was kinda draggy (ok sorry supporters of 2nd cp) it focuses on teh and fah which both had its fault, i can't get fah at all, is he trying to play hard to get or is he just playing with him. felt like their relationship was build on playful-body-compatibility instead, not that i have any opinions, it just lack complexity and no difference from FWB to LOVERS kinda couple, which other show provides. so i felt more lowly interested and wish to see more of the 1st CP/jim-toh. I also felt the redemption ark felt flat and was going real slow on the flow and mostly not much happening during the period other than new love interest /self destructive mode etc.

overall, i felt that some parts were really slow pacing, and could be shorten or cut, and some scenes are not long enough like the last episode finale. the start i would actually felt the story WAS a 7-7.5, BUT as i watch felt pretty FLAT like a 5-6/10 overall, nothing exciting. Okay series to watch to kill time or just for the nice NCs but thats all. skippable.
______________________________
So, anyway
flaws, oh flaws. i have some rants.
I see some people saying how much they like the teh-fah couple, i mean they HAVE their GOOD points BUT!! I also want to point out the toxic traits too that people seems to oversee. Since everyone is already writing and we ALL KNOW the toxic of 1st CP jimmytoh I'll focus more on the 2nd CP Teh&Saifah. I would say ALL of them are toxic in different levels.
Like, Fah knew his love interest's friend is interested in him but show no consideration before starting out with Teh.
Teh hides that he is also getting interested in Fah. (no wonder these 2 toxics r friends) I can ignore the early parts but when they woke up and seemingly his attraction is stronger he still lied to his friend who was honest to him.
I have more to say but im tired for now, feel free to pm or comment if you want to rant with me xD i mean discuss HAHHAA
Also they are actually similar plot shows of this in hetro romance like SO MUCH of it, but people criticize this more harshly idk why haha . thats also the one of the reason i felt the show was pretty mehhh, as its recycled plot, just in BL instead of hetro haha but still comparing some of those executed them more intriguingly.

Where can I find a Sima Jiao for myself

March 6, 2026

OH MY GOD, another Wuxia drama done from my ever growing list. I love this drama at all. After riding the highs of How Dare You?, When Destiny Brings the Demon hits the spot.

We have another down bad male lead Sima Jiao who's love story transcends over 4 lifetimes. Isn't that motherfucking diabolically so green flag coded? I feel like the ending could have been expanded, but I also know that there are censorship regarding transmigration Chinese dramas. As such, I can't help but feel like the ending falls a bit average. I do must say, I enjoy watching this series, for a 33 episode series, I do am loving the prognosis of the story.

I just find it endearing how multiple lifetimes were covered and it really just puts that status of eternal love and that I will find you in every lifetime.

Such joy and admiration I have for Sima Jiao and Ting Yan, this show is definitely that Cdrama that is worth your time to watch!

Letter to the fans

When I first heard the reunion between two main lead, it really throw back to when I was watching Addicted back in the days.
Personally, the script had ton of potential but is drawn back by weird decisions and ultimately budget. Unfortunately each episode is only 20 minutes with major plots that feel like fever dream or skimped over. Scripwriting felt like old bl shows in 2015 or 2016, but at least is nice to look at. This also might be controversial take but this series DID NOT need a second couple. I seriously skipped them or roll over my eyes when it come to their scene. They barely added much entertainment or move the plot point. The scene-time with them could have used for main couple and plot point. Yoki and Yang are on point when it come to chemistry, their scene at the boat was sparkfly.
My favorite part when it come to series is setting, cinematography, and town people themselves. The location scouter deserve a raise. This by far one of the mostly beautiful town ever. The location really gave the series a refreshing and editing of the show give it a refreshing feels. The blue hues of the series give a mood of a morning before the sunrise.
I really think the productions team, Chen And Feng Song did their best to give us this productions. I want to thank Chen and Feng Song who put their own money and time into this projects. I am really grateful, even though there is some draw back but I am very happy.
This is my first review, sorry for any confusion.

The Bromance

The best relationship in this show was Gyuhyun and Hajun, and Gyuhyun and Jiuk. I would have loved a spin off entirely about these three. I gotta say Gyuhyun was my favorite to watch during the whole show, Lee Sangyi is very charming to watch on screen, even when he’s being an idiot. The main romance was okay, they dragged on the conflicts between them a bit much, and I hate that the conclusion at the end was literally in the last 10 minutes of the show. Like wow you couldn’t have given them a whole episode of happiness? The side couple was also very cute, but again I think it’s because of how charming Sangyi is, you can’t help but root for him.

Suddenly having an AI boyfriend doesn't seem so crazy

This is my first drama of jisoo's. I didn't watch snowdrop nor that other one she did. So I came in with no expectations nor bias. Her acting was good. Honestly some crying scenes were a bit tough on her but she protrayed her character's charm and immaturity quite well.
A lot of the characters were funny and relatable. If a IRL boyfriend on demand vr comes out. I would be first in line. I volunteer as tribute!!!

My main issue with the drama was her character Seo Mi Rae. She was a coward and at times annoyed me with her refusal to face her feelings and evolve. But when she eventually did, the payoff was so good. Seo In guk was amazing as usual. The chemistry was great especially towards the end and i like as they didn't waste time on the conflict that arose with goo yeong il

My second issue was the choi siwon jumpscare. I dont want to see his MAGA thick skinned face in my shows again

All in all an easy drama to digest, has a lot of gorgeous men and fun times
