For these roles, the production has enlisted a lineup of K-drama and K-pop stars guaranteed to make fans swoon — and, yes, probably a little jealous (Though let’s be honest: landing a role opposite Jisoo is a win, too). </p><p>Below, we round up the actors set to sweep Jisoo (or Mi-rae, to be more exact) off her feet in “Boyfriend on Demand,” based on the teasers we’ve seen so far.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771998165613SIG.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Seo In-guk. <em>Photo courtesy of Netflix</em></span></span></span></div><div><strong>SEO IN-GUK</strong></div><p>In “Boyfriend on Demand,” Seo In-guk plays Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae’s colleague in the real world and a rival webtoon producer. His cold demeanor makes Mi-rae uneasy, but he harbors surprising secrets that are sure to stir the heroine’s emotions, according to a press release. The trailer presents Kyeong-nam as serious, yet shows him prying into Mi-rae’s romantic life.</p><p>In-guk entered the entertainment industry as a singer after winning the reality show “Superstar K” in 2009, and later gained wider recognition through his lead role in the 2012 coming-of-age drama “Reply 1997.” The 38-year old’s other notable series include “Doom at Your Service” (2021), “Café Minamdang” (2022) and “Death&#x27;s Game” (2023).</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771997084630so ready to see who seo mi-rae’s matches with. and with so many possibilities, maybe i’ll find m.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">(From top) Seo Kang-joon and Lee Soo-hyuk. <em>Photo from Netflix Philippines on Instagram</em></span></span></span></div><div><strong>SEO KANG-JOON</strong></div><p>The dashing Seo Kang-joon displays a striking duality in the teasers: in one, his character sports a pink varsity jacket; in another, he appears in a martial arts uniform, wielding a wooden sword.</p><p>Kang-joon, 32, is known for starring in “Cheese in the Trap (2016),” “Are You Human?” (2018), and “When the Weather Is Fine” (2020). In 2025, he starred in the action-comedy series “Undercover High School,” playing a spy who goes undercover as a high school student — marking his first project since completing his mandatory military service.</p><div><strong>LEE SOO-HYUK</strong></div><p>Model-actor Lee Soo-hyuk appears as a corporate executive. In one teaser photo, he is shown in a suit, poring over papers at his desk; in another, he appears cozy with Mi-rae as they share champagne.</p><p>Soo-hyuk is known for the dramas “Sweet Stranger and Me” and “Doom at Your Service.” Last year, he starred in the thriller series “S Line” — set in a world where people’s sexual relationships are visible as red lines above their heads — which gained traction among K-drama fans online.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771997189069so ready to see who seo mi-rae’s matches with. and with so many possibilities, maybe i’ll find m (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Ong Seong-wu and Lee Jae-wook. <em>Photo from Netflix Philippines on Instagram</em></span></span></span></div><div><strong>ONG SEONG-WU<br/></strong></div><p>K-pop star-turned-actor Ong Seong-wu appears in the teasers as a sort of detective, showing Mi-rae his badge in one photo and holding a gun in another.</p><p>The 30-year-old rose to fame as a contestant on the second season of the K-pop survival show “Produce 101” in 2017, finishing fifth to join the boy band Wanna One.
