Jisoo is ready to redefine modern romance as she returns to the screen in the upcoming Netflix original series Boyfriend on Demand. The drama, which is officially scheduled to launch on March 6, 2026, features the global star as a webtoon producer who decides to outsource her love life to a high-tech subscription service. As the premiere date approaches, new details have surfaced regarding the incredible lineup of actors playing her virtual partners. While the series focuses on the daily grind and emotional burnout of its lead character, the show is gaining massive attention for its “premium boyfriend” lineup, featuring major cameos from some of the biggest names in the industry.
Jisoo Navigates A Virtual Love Life In Boyfriend On Demand
The story follows Seo Mi-rae, played by Jisoo, a woman who is completely exhausted by her professional life. As a webtoon producer, she spends her days working overtime and dealing with the pressure of the industry, leaving her with zero energy for real-world dating. To fill the emotional void without the stress of a real relationship, she subscribes to a virtual dating service called Boyfriend on Demand. This service allows her to experience tailored romantic scenarios with “perfect” partners in digital worlds.
Seo In-guk stars alongside her as Park Kyeong-nam, her office rival and colleague. While Mi-rae is busy exploring digital romances, she find herself constantly bumping into Kyeong-nam in reality. Their relationship starts as a competitive “work buddy” dynamic, but as they spend more time together during late-night shifts, a slow-burn connection begins to form. The drama explores the tension between the flawless, controlled world of virtual dating and the messy, unpredictable nature of real human connection.
A Star Studded Lineup Of Virtual Boyfriends Revealed
The most discussed aspect of the series is the “Monthly Boyfriend” roster. Because the virtual dating service promises to deliver a user’s “ideal type,” the production team cast a group of top-tier actors to play these digital partners. Each actor represents a popular romance trope, giving Jisoo the chance to act out various fantasy scenarios.
- Seo Kang-jun plays Eun-ho, a sweet and youthful campus student. Recent stills show him meeting Mi-rae under falling cherry blossoms, capturing a classic first-love vibe.
- Lee Soo-hyuk takes on the role of Siu, a third-generation chaebol (wealthy heir). He provides Mi-rae with high-end, glittering dates, playing the “cool and perfect” archetype with an intense gaze.
- Lee Jae-wook appears as a reliable and charismatic senior doctor, offering a “grown-up” romance scenario.
- Ong Seong-wu portrays a secret agent who meets Mi-rae while she is in the role of a flight attendant.
- Lee Hyun-wook features as a handsome and sophisticated judge.
- Jay Park makes a special appearance as a top-tier celebrity star, adding a meta-layer to the virtual dating experience.
- Kim Young-dae and Lee Sang-yi also join the cast to provide unique romantic flavors to Mi-rae’s simulated life.
“I focused most on portraying the many charms Jisoo has in the most versatile way possible,” said Director Kim Jung-sik. “By using different occupations and virtual settings, her acting style feels distinct from the real-world Mi-rae.”

Global Release Details For Boyfriend On Demand
Netflix has confirmed that Boyfriend on Demand will consist of 10 episodes. The series is set for a simultaneous global release, ensuring that audiences in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and India can watch at the same time. The official premiere date is March 6, 2026. This project marks a significant step for Jisoo in the romantic comedy genre, following her previous roles in Snowdrop and the zombie-themed Newtopia.
The show was filmed partly on location in Cebu, Philippines, last year, which provided the backdrop for some of the exotic virtual date locations. While the virtual world offers perfection, the presence of Kim Sung-cheol as Mi-raeโs real-life ex-boyfriend, Se-jun, suggests that her past will play a role in how she views her new digital hobby. Fans are particularly curious to see how the “subscription love” concept handles the inevitable clash when Mi-rae has to choose between her digital fantasies and her real-life feelings for Kyeong-nam.
