Lisa isn’t the only member of Blackpink to be showing off her acting chops! Jisoo is following suit, having been cast in Netflix’s upcoming K-drama Boyfriend on Demand.
The rom-com will follow exhausted webtoon producer Mi-rae (Jisoo), who escapes reality through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation program. Soon enough, she meets her dream boyfriend… but is everything really that straightforward?
As Netflix puts it, Mi-rae “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.”
Jisoo stars opposite Seo In-guk, who’s taking on the role of Park Kyeong-nam. He’s 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.”
