Netflix has confirmed the production of the new series ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ and the casting of Jisoo and Seo In-guk, drawing attention.

The Netflix series ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ is a romantic comedy about webtoon PD ‘Mirae’, who is tired of real life, subscribing to boyfriends through a virtual dating simulation and experiencing dating. It heralds a ‘revolution in dating’ through the unique setting of subscribing to dating in a virtual world, added to the realistic background of office workers that we can all relate to.

First, Jisoo transforms into webtoon PD ‘Seo Mi-rae’, who dreams of a second round of dating in virtual reality. Seo Mi-rae, who has become accustomed to a life without dating in the midst of her busy and tiring real life, enters the virtual world through the ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ device that she received by chance. A super strong dopamine comes to him who is tired of social life, and he awakens his forgotten romantic cells through romances with unrealistically perfect men in the virtual world. Jisoo, who has been showing a new side of herself through various works, presents a story that any modern person can relate to through ‘Seo Mi-rae’.

Seo In-guk plays Seo Mi-rae‘s (Jisoo) co-worker and rival webtoon PD ‘Park Kyung-nam’. To Seo Mi-rae, he is an uncomfortable person that no one wants to meet, but everyone in the company recognizes him as a ‘hard worker’. He is indifferent and a little selfish, and he stimulates curiosity as a character with a surprising secret. Seo In-guk’s performance, which will show the various sides of ‘Park Kyung-nam’, who will bring about a super strong storm for Seo Mi-rae, is drawing attention.

‘Monthly Boyfriend’​ will be directed by Director Kim Jung-sik, who has humorously captured realistic empathy in works such as ‘Women of the Drunk City’’‘I Don‘t Want to Lose Money’. Director Kim Jung-sik has presented realistic and unique romantic comedies that flexibly cross between romance and comedy. Attention is focused on the romantic comedy ‘Monthly Boyfriend’, which will showcase the synergy of director Kim Jung-sik and the actors who have captured empathy, excitement, and even laughter.

The romantic comedy ‘Monthly Boyfriend’, which heralds a revolution in love through the collaboration of the optimized ‘romantic comedy’production team and actors, will be released exclusively through Netflix.
