BLACKPINK's beloved member Jisoo has delighted her global fanbase, known as BLINKS, with the release of an adorable and humorous trailer for her upcoming romantic comedy series, 'Boyfriend on Demand'. The actress, who stars alongside acclaimed actor Seo In-guk, shared the new preview online, offering audiences a tantalizing glimpse into a narrative that masterfully blends fantasy elements with stark reality.
Premiere Date and Central Concept
Scheduled to premiere on March 6, this highly anticipated romantic comedy revolves around a unique virtual dating subscription service. This innovative platform allows users to immerse themselves in dream dates within a meticulously crafted virtual world, pushing the boundaries of modern romance storytelling.
Jisoo and Seo In-guk Introduce the Series
In her introduction to the show, Jisoo enthusiastically endorsed 'Boyfriend on Demand' as a 'fun watch' for viewers. She elaborated, stating, "Boyfriend on Demand is a bouncy romantic comedy that tells the story of Mirae, who wants love but faces realistic problems and struggles as she grows up."
Her co-star, Seo In-guk, added his perspective, highlighting the series' originality. "It is a unique work given by the subject matter. It is very appealing because it shows romance in virtual reality and in real life at once," he remarked, emphasizing the dual narrative structure.
Official Synopsis and Character Dynamics
According to the official synopsis, the series follows Seo Mi-rae, portrayed by Jisoo, a webtoon PD whose demanding and exhausting work schedule has led her to become accustomed to a life without a boyfriend. Her predictable routine takes a dramatic and unexpected turn when she ventures into the world of virtual dating.
Within this digital realm, Mi-rae experiences romantic encounters with unrealistically perfect men, rekindling emotions and desires she believed were permanently buried. The trailer showcases Jisoo in a variety of enchanting virtual scenarios:
- Engaging in a playful doctor-patient role-play
- Gracefully dancing at an elegant ball
- Enjoying a serene and romantic seaside date
A particularly captivating moment in the clip features Mi-rae puckering up for a kiss, a blink-and-you-miss-it scene that has sparked intense speculation and excitement among fans, leaving them eagerly guessing about the context and outcome.
Contrasting Real-World Tensions
In stark contrast to the idealized virtual world, the real-life narrative introduces Park Kyeong-nam, played by Seo In-guk. He is a fellow webtoon PD and Mi-rae's workplace rival, who initially appears distant, selfish, and constantly at odds with her. However, the character is hinted to harbor his own deep-seated secrets, adding layers of complexity to their relationship.
Jisoo's Expanding Career and Fan Reactions
Jisoo, revered as K-Pop royalty through her role in the global phenomenon BLACKPINK, has been steadily building a formidable reputation in the acting industry. Her journey began with a cameo appearance in the 2015 series 'The Producers', followed by a leading role in the drama 'Snowdrop', which showcased her dramatic range.
Fans have reacted with overwhelming positivity to the new trailer, praising Jisoo's comedic timing, chemistry with Seo In-guk, and the show's fresh premise. The fusion of virtual reality romance with real-world professional rivalry has generated significant buzz and anticipation.
