Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy Monthly Boyfriend is already generating buzz thanks to newly released stills that capture a dreamy, Disney-like date between Jisoo and Lee Soo-hyuk.
Set to premiere on March 6, the series follows Mirae (played by Jisoo), a webtoon producer exhausted by the demands of real life. Seeking an escape, she subscribes to a virtual dating simulation service called “Monthly Boyfriend,” where users can experience customized romantic scenarios. The concept of “subscribing to love” in a digital world delivers fantasy-driven thrills, while Mirae’s everyday office struggles offer relatable realism.
The newly unveiled images provide a tantalizing preview of Mirae’s first virtual date. As she steps into the simulation world, she is greeted by a series of romantic themes that look straight out of a fantasy webtoon. From intimate first-love moments to heart-racing close encounters, the chemistry between Jisoo and Lee Soo Hyuk heightens anticipation for the show’s release.
Viewers are left wondering what kinds of dates will unfold inside the “Monthly Boyfriend” universe — and how these virtual experiences will begin to impact Mirae’s real-world relationships.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Following the already buzzed-about pairing of Jisoo and Seo In-guk, the series boasts an impressive lineup 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 romances.
The supporting cast further enriches both the virtual and real worlds. Gong Min-jung plays star webtoon writer Yoon Song, while Jo Han-chul portrays 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.
Inside the virtual world, Yoo In-na stands out as the charming “date-matching manager,” bringing warmth and guidance to Mirae’s romantic journey. Meanwhile, Kim Ah-young and Go Gyu-pil add comic relief through their diverse in-simulation roles.
Blending high-concept fantasy with grounded office-life struggles, Monthly Boyfriend promises a dopamine-charged romantic escape that still resonates with modern viewers. With its unique premise, star-studded cameos, and Jisoo’s much-anticipated rom-com return, the series is poised to become Netflix’s next addictive love story this spring.
