Jisoo is entering romantic comedy films through her upcoming Netflix project which has generated excitement among her fanbase, with fans saying “this ain’t boyfriend on demand this is face on demand”. The musician who also acts leads the upcoming series Boyfriend on Demand where she stars with Seo In Guk, whose partnership Netflix has been promoting since the start of their March 2023 release. The series protagonist who operates as a burnt-out webtoon producer discovers escape through a subscription-based virtual dating platform which leads her to experience work-related disruptions from her imaginary life. The show uses its main concept which combines webtoon publishing with virtual romance to create official summaries and press materials for its promotional activities.

The production credits two main actors which are accompanied by multiple cameo roles and supporting actors who help increase the show's promotional appeal through their performances. The promotional materials showcase the entire cast of actors who appear in the protagonist's simulated dates throughout the show. Director Kim Jung-sik is credited for shaping the show’s glossy, story-within-a-story look, and trailers emphasize the contrast between the heroine’s ordinary life and the stylized worlds of the app.

The combination of promotional posters and teasers together with the press push has created greater audience interest in the project. Social platforms became active with discussions about the project after press event images and the trailer released, as fans and entertainment outlets identified lead actor chemistry and shared video clips and photo stills. The series received extensive media attention because its pre-release buzz included multiple entertainment articles, which began after Netflix announced its addition to the 2026 lineup, the trailer was out on February 19, 2026.

The show cast members have created new market interest through their publicity activities which extend beyond their work on the show. The show leads promoted their work while discussing their upcoming film projects, which created an instant news story that expanded public interest in their show. The audience attraction to the film comes from two main elements which include a well-known celebrity face who appears in a premium rom-com movie and a contemporary storytelling element that uses virtual dating to present the film's romantic relationship developments.

The show displays three main elements which include a sequence of fantasy dates that connect to the real life of the main character and a marketing strategy which uses the on-screen couple's chemistry and the show's visual appeal. Fans watching for Jisoo's next acting chapter have plenty of things to discuss because the series includes promotional photos and trailers and cameos which all contributed to its status as one of Netflix's most popular K-drama releases for this season.
