The singer-actress will portray Seo Mi-rae, an exhausted webtoon producer who finds escape in a mysterious app that delivers a custom-fit heartthrob boyfriend each month to tend to her emotional needs.
“Virtual reality didn’t feel like a distant future, and my character, Mi-rae, is about my age,” Jisoo says. “I chose this project because I could really relate to the way Mi-rae wrestles with her worries and works through them.”
The virtual dating subscription in the show delivers 900 themed dates at the slip of a simple device, letting anyone dive into risk-free romance, hitting home for today’s burned-out people, where even dating feels like just another grind.
“As a total homebody, when I saw the device, I immediately thought, ‘You could travel through all kinds of worlds without ever leaving your house,’ and that felt incredibly appealing. I remember thinking, ‘I’m jealous – Mi-rae is so lucky,’” she says, adding, “It didn’t feel wildly unrealistic, but more like, ‘This could really exist someday,’ which made the premise hit closer to home and feel even more fun.”
