Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy Monthly Boyfriend is already generating buzz thanks to newly released images capturing a dreamy, Disney-style date between Jisoo and Lee Soo-hyuk.
The series, which premieres March 6, follows Mirae (played by Jisoo), a webtoon producer exhausted by the demands of real life. Seeking an escape, he signs up for a virtual dating simulation service called “Monthly Boyfriend,” where users can experience personalized romantic scenarios. The concept of “subscribing to love” in a digital world offers fantasy-driven thrills, while Mirae’s daily office struggles offer relatable realism.
The newly revealed images provide a tantalizing preview of Mirae’s first virtual date. As she enters the world of the simulation, she is greeted by a series of romantic themes straight out of a fantasy webtoon. From intimate moments of first love to heart-pounding close encounters, the chemistry between Jisoo and Lee Soo Hyuk heightens anticipation for the show’s release.
Viewers are wondering what kind of dates will take place in the “Monthly Boyfriend” universe and how these virtual experiences will begin to impact Mirae’s real-world relationships.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. After the already talked about couple of Jisoo and Seo In-guk, the series boasts an impressive line-up of special appearances. Actors including Seo Kang-joon, Ong Seong-wu, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Young-dae, Park Jae-beom and Lee Sang-yi transform into various “virtual boyfriends”, adding star power and variety to the simulated love stories.
The supporting cast further enriches both the virtual and real worlds. Gong Min-jung plays star webtoon writer Yoon Song, while Jo Han-chul plays Byunghak, a powerful figure within Mirae’s studio. Ha Young appears as Mirae’s best friend Jiyun, and Lee Hak-joo takes on the role of team leader Min, who introduces her to the dating subscription service.
In the virtual world, Yoo In-na stands out as the charming “dating match manager”, bringing warmth and guidance to Mirae’s romantic journey. Meanwhile, Kim Ah-young and Go Gyu-pil add comic relief through their different roles in the simulation.
Blending high-concept fantasy with down-to-earth struggles in office life, Monthly Boyfriend promises a dopamine-fueled romantic escape that still resonates with modern viewers. With its unique premise, star-studded cameos, and Jisoo’s highly anticipated rom-com return, the series is poised to become Netflix’s next gripping love story this spring.
