Jisoo as Mi-rae in Boyfriend on Demand
BlackPink Jisoo will play the character of Mi-rae, an exhausted webtoon producer who finds escape through a mysterious app that delivers her a custom fit and heart-throb boyfriends, each month, which tend to calm her emotional needs. The virtual dating subscription in the show delivers nine hundred themed dates at the slip of a simple device, letting anyone dive into risk-free romance, hitting home for today’s burned-out people, where even dating feels like another grind to the person.
She stated, “As a total homebody, when I saw the device, I immediately thought, ‘You could travel through all kinds of worlds without ever leaving your house,’ and that felt incredibly appealing. I remember thinking ‘I’m jealous — Mi-rae is so lucky,” further she goes, “It didn’t feel wildly unrealistic, but more like, ‘This could really exist someday,’ which made the premise hit closer to home and feel even more fun.”

No matter what advice I give, people already have their answer. They’ve already made their choice.”
On the other hand, Jisoo commented that she hardly consults anyone regarding her problem, especially not about dating. “I don’t really consult people about my problems, especially not about dating. Even when we have big fights and don’t talk for days and then make up, people around me don’t even notice.” She added, “I don’t consult because they won’t listen anyway.”
