Netflix is gearing up for its next highly anticipated and conceptually intriguing Korean drama. Global K-pop idol Jisoo, a member of the internationally acclaimed group Blackpink, is set to take on the lead role in Boyfriend on Demand.
A romantic drama series centred on a young, overworked Korean woman who turns to a virtual reality dating programme as an escape—where she encounters the ideal boyfriends she has always dreamed of. Jisoo will portray Mi-rae, a webtoon producer whose relentless work schedule has left her with no time for romance. Though she longs for a fresh start in love, her busy lifestyle has led her to accept her non-existent dating life.
With “Boyfriend on Demand”, Netflix continues to expand its already extensive lineup of Korean content for 2025. The platform has announced an ambitious slate that includes 22 scripted dramas, eight reality series, and eight original films. Among the most anticipated releases are the third and final season of “Squid Game”, set to premiere on June 27, and a new season of the dating show “Single’s Inferno”.
