Netflix’s ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ has been drawing strong attention since its release, and while much of the early buzz centered on BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, many viewers are now turning their focus to Seo In Guk for his unexpectedly standout performance.
The series quickly became a hot topic thanks to its fun and unusual concept, following a webtoon producer who signs up for a virtual boyfriend subscription service and ends up meeting a variety of male characters in a fantasy-like dating world.
With a cast that includes Seo In Guk, Seo Kang Joon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Ong Seong Wu, Kim Young Dae, Mu Jin Sung, and Park Jae Beom, the drama naturally sparked major curiosity even before release.
Although early reactions were mixed over Jisoo’s acting, many viewers have since praised the series for being an easy and entertaining watch.
The drama’s mix of virtual romance, relatable work struggles, and modern dating emotions has helped it connect with audiences looking for light but engaging content.
Among the many male leads, Seo In Guk has been receiving particular attention for bringing both warmth and surprise to his role.
His performance as Park Kyung Nam has been praised for adding emotional stability to the story, with viewers noting that his calm and reliable “boyfriend” energy helps ground the drama and makes the romantic moments feel more natural.
What especially caught attention is the contrast in his character image. Seo In Guk first appears as a more ordinary and realistic “glasses guy”, but later delivers a striking transformation with a much bolder and tougher side, creating one of the drama’s most talked-about moments.
That unexpected dual charm has become a major reason many viewers say he stands out even in a cast full of attractive male stars.
While ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ continues to gain attention as another notable acting project for Jisoo, the drama is also shaping up to be a memorable one for Seo In Guk, whose relatable presence and surprising character switch are leaving a strong impression on viewers.
