Jisoo and
Seo In-guk (
"Doom at Your Service",
"Café Minamdang") are set to star in Netflix's recently greenlit romantic comedy series
"Boyfriend On Demand" (working title). Production is already underway.
Directed by
Kim Jung-sik (
"Work Later",
"Drink Now",
"No Gain No Love"), the show focuses on exhausted webtoon producer Mi-rae (Jisoo) who escapes reality through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation program, where she meets the boyfriends of her dreams. Blending the relatable challenges of daily work life and a never-before-seen virtual reality dating subscription program, it promises to revolutionize dating.
Jisoo stars as Seo Mi-rae, who longs for a second chance at love in virtual reality. Accustomed to a nonexistent dating life due to her hectic schedule, Mi-rae receives a ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ device by chance. Entering this virtual reality, she encounters unrealistically perfect boyfriends, awakening her dormant desires for romance.
Seo In-guk plays Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae's colleague and rival webtoon producer. He's capable and competent at work, but Mi-rae feels uneasy around him. Despite his indifferent and cold demeanor, he’s a character with surprising secrets, sure to stir emotions in Mi-rae.
Jisso can also be seen in the South Korean drama series
"Snowdrop" on Disney+, and the Prime Video zombie comedy series
"Newtopia". Meanwhile, her debut solo mini album
"Amortage" was released on February 14th.
