Boyfriend on Demand (Kim Jung-sik, 2026)
Boyfriend on Demand, Netflix’s latest romantic limited series, tells the story of webtoon producer Seo Mi-rae, who is completely nonchalant about romance in her life. After sweating day in and day out at work, whatever little time she is left with is spent recharging herself for the next day. While she barely has time to make room for a little self-care, let alone opting for something as unrewarding as dating, she has a complete change of heart when she comes across Boyfriend on Demand.
Boyfriend on Demand is a virtual-dating subscription app that’s more real-like than any game she has played online. She goes on many fantasy dates, which remind her of the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. On the contrary, in real-life, her work commitment has her spending long office hours with the self-centred producer Park Kyeong-nam, who might just reserve a softer side, ultimately making Mi-rae confront the limitations of reality vs make-believe romance.
