Yara Sameh Netflix has greenlit a new Korean romantic comedy series 'Boyfriend on Demand' (working title), with Blackpink member Jisoo and Seo In-guk ('Doom at Your Service,' 'Café Minamdang') in lead roles. The high-concept drama centers on an overworked webtoon producer who discovers romance through a subscription-based virtual reality dating program.

At the helm is director Kim Jung-sik, known for his deft touch in series like the comedy-drama 'Work Later, Drink Now' and comedy-romance 'No Gain No Love.' The helmer's track record suggests the show will balance its high-tech premise with grounded emotional storytelling.

In the series, Park Jeon-min plays Lee Jae-yoon, a man completing his mandatory military service, while Jisoo takes on the role of Kang Young-joo, his girlfriend navigating early career challenges.
