\n\tImagine coming home from a long day of work to immerse yourself in the virtual reality world with the boyfriend of your dreams. That\u2019s the (virtual) reality that Mi-rae, the overworked webtoon producer played by Blackpink<\/a>\u2019s Jisoo<\/a>, finds herself living in the new Netflix<\/a> K-drama<\/a>, Boyfriend on Demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series, which dropped globally on March 6, stars Jisoo and actor In-guk Seo, who plays Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae\u2019s colleague and rival webtoon producer. The show is described as \u201cblending the relatable challenges of daily work life and a never-before-seen virtual reality dating subscription program\u201d to form a truly quirky and endearing limited series. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThrough this character, Mi-rae, I was able to show multiple sides of myself,\u201d Jisoo, sitting alongside Seo, tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom ahead of the show\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, the pair breakdown Boyfriend on Demand, share their ideal virtual reality setting and how they see their characters. <\/p>\n

\n\tHow are you feeling about the show? Are you excited for people to finally see it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tJISOO<\/strong> We wrapped production last year, and I\u2019ve been nervous and excited ever since. I\u2019m becoming more nervous as the release is just around the corner now. We had a lot of fun shooting it, so I think that the viewers will enjoy it a lot.<\/p>\n

\n\tSEO<\/strong> Yeah, we did have a lot of fun shooting this show. As I was watching the final product, I thought it was a very grounded show \u2014 it can be universally relatable. I hope this show is therapeutic for a lot of people and can be a source of personal growth. I hope it gives people a lot of food for thought.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis show has a lot of intersting things to say about young working people. What do you think of the show\u2019s main message?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tJISOO<\/strong> My character, Mi-rae, used to be very much afraid of trying new things and change. She sort of uses the VR service to escape from her reality, but it actually helped heal her. The things that she\u2019s done in her past, she came to terms with it finally. She uses the epiphanies and takeaways from the virtual reality world and leverages it in the real world. While a lot of people nowadays use AI and VR as just an escape, I think they could take new ideas and new experiences from VR and AI and use it in their real life. Mi-rae goes through immense personal growth throughout the series. I guess the main message [of the show] is putting yourself in her shoes and making sure you feel that therapeutic touch.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhere would you want to go in this virtual reality world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tJISOO<\/strong> If I am in a VR setting, I would definitely want to go to places that I would not be able to go in real life because I think that\u2019s the perk of virtual reality. I would like to go for a dinosaur tour or go to outer space, and very boldly and courageously do that.<\/p>\n

\n\tSEO<\/strong> The date would be stealing an egg from the dinosaurs or winning your fight with a T-rex.<\/p>\n

\n\tJISOO<\/strong> (Laughs.)<\/p>\n

\n\tA real Jurassic Park. You play very different characters. Jisoo, you\u2019re playing many versions of Mi-rae. In-guk your character is quite serious. What challenges did you find with these characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tJISOO<\/strong> I think it was actually easier for me to immerse myself into the different personas of Mi-rae, because everything around her would change. If she\u2019s the same person and she\u2019s in the same setup, then it would be difficult to portray new facets of her. You\u2019re in a different theme, in a different world, in a different costume, different profession. It was actually really fun to immerse myself into that world.<\/p>\n

\n\tSEO<\/strong> Kyeong-nam is a very poker faced character. To play a frosty character like that, I think the actor playing opposite is really important because when you\u2019re always so cold and poker faced, people might not even recognize you and find you boring. But when there\u2019s Mi-rae, who is very expressive, she\u2019s bold about doing everything and she makes these big emotional changes and everything, then there\u2019s that contrast that makes them stand out. I want to thank Jisoo and Mi-rae. I think they were the perfect match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
