Boyfriend on Demand - Boyfriend Encyclopedia - Netflix [ENG SUB]

Hello I'm Ji-su playing the role of Seo Mi-rae in the monthly drama "Monthly Boyfriend " Monthly boyfriend is a romantic comedy about a webtoon producer named Mirae exhausted by real-life struggles who fulfills her dream of experiencing love by subscribing to a virtual dating simulation to live out a fictional romance Today I'd like to share some thoughts and stories with you about the men Soo Mi-rae met through her monthly boyfriend project Although the monthly boyfriend list features 900 characters today I'll introduce only those whose hearts will beat the fastest in the future due to time constraints So shall we begin with Monthly Boyfriend 100 now I can't help but wonder how happy our future will be with a monthly boyfriend Shall we start with the first guy right away Isn't the future depicted in this photo looking awfully happy The man standing beside the future his hair and attire perfectly styled in a manner unlike anything usual was none other than Future is the main character Choi Si-woo from the webtoon that the monthly boyfriend first encountered The character Choi Si-woo being the first male lead embodies the quintessential archetype of a wealthy third-generation heir — the perfect cliché of a man in every sense The most popular character in Monthly Boyfriend consistently holding the top spot with their striking appearance and sharp conversational flair far surpassing even webtoon expectations Since the Siu character has a slightly cheesy vibe taking her to a rose-themed event or a popular food spot and delivering those overly sentimental lines gave me the perfect opportunity to roll my eyes in that sarcastic biting way That was also quite unexpectedly funny It's hard on the listener but it's just as tough on the one who has to keep saying those insincere things Watching Shiou's body writhing in pain with each cut only made me grow bolder and more shamelessly pleasure-seeking It really felt like Si-woo suddenly popped out It was so windy and the sunlight was so blinding back then This is such a moving confession scene and I'm completely overwhelmed unable to open my eyes as if truly touched but Shiwoo just happens to open his eyes way too easily Your eyes are big Let's get engaged like this I'm like this So every time we cut how do you open your eyes like that Just asked and I'm really looking forward to it—it turned out even better than expected What do you think Like it Although the first man seemed like the ultimate prize there are still plenty of other men with their own unique charms yet to come The biggest feature and advantage of Monthly Boyfriend is how your personality shifts and adapts depending on the man you're with This time just looking at it feels like spring has arrived with a fresh youthful campus couple vibe Who is the man standing before the future so perfectly matched by that pink overcoat He's none other than Seo Eun-ho the most popular guy on campus The character Seo Eun-ho is the kind of first love everyone has ever dreamed of—the college senior Her look is innocent yet the difficulty is high The strategy is quite challenging and you get to enjoy two different versions Because he’s a friend with a story that’s solidly crafted from the innocent freshness of youth to the meaningful reunion of adulthood making it feel as real as life itself We were shooting right during the real cherry blossom season so it felt exciting and captured a wonderfully pink dreamy atmosphere The most fun scene for me was when they had the swordfight duel In virtual reality unlike in real life it sounds like a crisp sharp scratch like this— I'm not usually the type to do this but I was winning so completely it must have felt incredible like something out of the future That's why we're constantly learning on the spot while shooting it Later on I got so absorbed that I was actually practicing hard all by myself in a corner The date went to the aquarium is the one I remember most we also visited a restaurant that was truly delicious and I ended up eating everything I ordered one more and I think I skated even better than before I was shocked by how well I actually performed Shooting date scenes while moving between various locations gave me the real sense of finally doing the same kinds of dates that everyone else has tried There's something else a different kind of charm about Shiou If Seo-woo had just been dreaming of a date this one felt like it could actually be real It felt so real I could barely tell the difference between reality and illusion Am I still just a senior to you Then who is the next man Future is now a flight attendant Who is the man in a suit showing something to Future who has become a flight attendant What could have possibly happened The man showing a classified document ahead of the future resembles a National Intelligence Service agent with many secrets Actor Oh Seong-woo played the role of Baek Hyun-woo Given that his character is an intelligence agent his profession naturally dictates He’s a man with a dangerously captivating charm—someone whose very presence seems to promise spectacular heart-pounding situations The future is somewhat cautious too The future has been through a lot Now that the future has suddenly scaled up after its first paid subscription it's become much bigger than expected Although it may not suit those who prefer a more future-oriented approach it might just be perfect for those who enjoy thrilling romances National Intelligence Service boyfriend It might be hard in real life but it's possible in a monthly boyfriend scenario This time the future has become a doctor The man standing across from him Doesn't he look incredibly strong and impressive The handsome doctor exuding a strong aura of seniority was none other than actor Lee Jae-wook The future senior doctor now realized Normally the tiger senior is too scary but now that he likes me How could I possibly not feel a little flutter If the future makes a mistake I scold it in front but secretly ache for it behind my back—and still I love it He was the kind of character who sent future heartbeats soaring with his blunt no-nonsense lines Originally there were scenes with wall winds and full-body shots like that and quite a few different versions were filmed It feels like were having fun and making it lighthearted while shooting The world has turned upside down—this time the future has traveled back to the past A assin gripping the wrist of a future figure dressed in nobleman's attire It looks like there's a deep story behind it The handsome assin is none other than actor Kim Hyun-dae Could you really enjoy a date in the Joseon era instead of the modern age That’s actually a major plus Even the cliché of falling in love with an enemy The distinctive features hidden beneath the mask It was a truly captivating episode that drew everyone in After spending so much time filming things that felt grounded in reality suddenly jumping to the Joseon era was quite a shift It felt so novel I couldn't help but think how popular this device might have been during the Joseon era if real people had used it I think I'd love to experience life in the Joseon Dynasty Even enemies can fall in love Shall we take a look at the next character A man resembling Park Jae-beom is reaching out toward Mireu and Mireu is taking the man's hand Could your monthly boyfriend actually go on a date with a real celebrity Yes it's really Park Jae-beom folks This time I tried portraying a romantic fantasy character pairing singer and Seong-dok From concerts to listening parties showing off the kind of romance I've probably daydreamed about at least once—me and my favorite celebrity together How thrilling would it be if this were real Suddenly I'm in a scene where I have to start dancing—what should I do now You suddenly started dancing Here's how you do it all of a sudden Improvising like it's real life— if you over-rehearse it just feels staged I lead naturally and that's how I do it That was fun I enjoyed it too This time seems to have a courtroom theme From a futuristic image of someone wearing glasses looking intelligent There's a hint of elitism in it This character is the handsome actor Lee Hyeon-wook known for his cool demeanor as a judge In court he remains calm and composed But when they're alone together their affectionate twist has irresistible charm —definitely recommended for anyone dreaming of a romance with an elite judge There's no need to be calm right now What are you doing tonight Just looking at everyone who's shown up so far It seems the future's heart may have vanished Who will be the next man Future transformed into a flower shop owner and A man in firefighter attire stands ahead representing the firefighter of order arriving in the future—actor Sang-hee Jeong I extinguish every fire I come across but there's one flame I can't put out— the fire of hope burning toward the future Future was a bit overwhelming—a bulldozer-like character the flame in my heart toward you Mirae In addition the future also appeared on Solojok and enjoyed dating scenarios with celebrities and bodyguards offering a diverse range of settings Besides the man from the future whom she met in person there were also several noticeable boyfriends She met them during a blind date she went on Actor Nam Woo-young with his charming presence also appeared and as we talk like this it really makes me realize just how many wonderful people there truly were Our future feels like we've already gone on countless dates not just a monthly boyfriend I mean things that never actually happen in real life It might be more fun to try something less realistic and focus on characters with stronger personalities It feels like real virtual reality—never thought I could do something like this That's probably what made it more immersive and fun This time it's not a monthly boyfriend simulation character but I'd like to introduce a character with a unique connection to the future Shall we see the photos first Photos sharing everyday moments together and Did you sense something off That's right it's your future ex-boyfriend Kim Se-jun That's why I'm taking a break from dating right now In a way I think I was kind of an important character To Mirae I was We would have been an officially recognized couple since university with everyone knowing about us waiting for each other through military service and even watching each other's first day at work Because we used to share so much of our daily lives I can't forget you and I find myself thinking ahead to the distant future I couldn't help but wonder what if I hadn't met this person The more I felt excited and drawn to Seo Eun-ho the more overwhelmed I became whenever our paths crossed and this is how it turned out What kind of staircase can help you mature one step further in how you see the future There's a genuinely funny scene We called him Pong and after he was discharged he rushed over and hugged us like this going all around But I got way too absorbed Holding it tight So caught up in it that the sound was spinning too fast It flew out of the frame Too fast—literally a blur This isn't a competition where things are supposed to spin this quickly Next comes turning around really slowly in real slow motion the character Sejun based on a real person made even more like the ordinary everyday people around us I've been in that situation too—I think I tried really hard to include a lot of those things Then instead of me introducing you it might better if you introduced yourself Ta-da Hello I'm from Monthly Boyfriend Seo In-guk who plays Park Kyung -nam is pleased to meet you Could you please introduce Mr Park Kyung-nam's character for us Yes first of all he works at the same company as Seo Mi-rae You're the webtoon PD of my rival Extremely FM-like and cynical in personality a perfectly competent professional Why Because Kyungnam always makes whatever she touches a success That’s what really gets under my skin But if you look closer Gyeongnam is really looking out for the future so I thought it kind of embodies the archetypal tsundere character Yes that's right But he's also someone whose future makes you want to take care of him a little And Gyeongnam Province seemed to get a bit more attention lately The warm moment Gisu remembers from Gyeongnam is What do you think When you look into it there's actually a lot more than you'd think things that might have only been visible to our viewers like the late nights I worked I went down to buy coffee and once again I only buy what's mine But they just don't understand Want two cups when we ride the elevator together Like this—though now viewers probably already know don't they Hey that's meant for you—still I have to say Gyeongnam seems a bit tedious honestly If you bought two coffees wouldn't you just say " Have another " and then realize "Oh this one's mine " That’s what two cups of coffee were supposed to be about but the future was already holding his own coffee again Caught in the thought of not wanting to be noticed I'm just grabbing something to eat after work It's a bit awkward now and the intention behind it feels a little off Isn't it hard to keep track of Since I had two coffees I bought one more on the way home to drink This will taste bad if the ice melts Yes I’ll be off work before the ice melts so But then women tend to get all fluttery in those kinds of moments right Kyungnam hang in there—after all the future doesn’t notice your hesitation I don't know what the future holds For example even when I'm drunk I won't be drinking alone I'm worried since I can't reach you so I washed my whole body but now I'm putting on clothes again That' s love you know But now the future Why did you come out That's why I'm worried about Kyungnam—it must be so hard for her You washed up put on clothes and ran around the beach Trembling to tremble That's right But then again with Gyeongnam being so affectionate the future sees some aspect of Gyeongnam At first you might have found it a bit hard to accept mightn't you Not at all I assure you So I just wanted to go a little higher and Kyungnam is doing well no matter what kind of in a similar spot as me Inside the company you end up being compared to everyone else all the time and before you know it you're constantly trying to outdo others almost like a competitive instinct and as a result you lose sight of what's ahead It seemed like my attention kept going back to Kyungnam Kyungnam in fact at first struggled to express his own emotions A little awkward so unless you look closely you might wonder if I'm actually interested in the future—there's a feeling like that and I myself in that aspect I really struggled with the decision If it's obvious from the very beginning just by looking that they're into each other and they already know it about each other then it would just be boring A little bit you should give it to her That's why we say it's a relationship built on resentment I think we started thinking about it from that point It was fun Slightly new I suppose But now Mr Park Kyung-nam though he could never have imagined it in his wildest dreams in reality Seo Mi-rae is In Monthly Tampjin I'm having an incredibly spectacular and diverse range of romantic experiences That's just how it is What was the kind of romance that made you feel most excited intrigued or envious when you saw it What did you envy the most Well not that The campus was a bit but still did you envy it No I didn't envy it I didn't envy it at all But when they were filming on campus they came over just to hang out That's right It's really just a guise for rivalry To be clear that 's correct—there was a glare a sharp piercing stare the corner of the mouth lifting a few millimeters higher I went there to clearly distinguish the laughter I shared with Gyeongnam from the laughter I had with the other Namsuk-ners That's right I struggled a lot adjusting my mouth like this But later when you weren 't there the director and I There was complete chaos but I silently cheered from within Wait—comic café That’s good isn’t it The comic café itself— It was my first time there and it was an amazing place—so much fun It was enjoyable there and capturing that life-changing moment was unforgettable It's genuinely hilarious and from our warehouse it's barely concealed—so obvious Gyeongnam was secretly dying to show off couldn't help it was absolutely frantic and I felt the same burning anxiety too heart pounding with worry Oh but now that I'm speaking a thought just came to mind— when I first greeted you earlier with Monthly Boyfriend I— They said there were 900 characters but actually there's one more isn't there Yeah the 901st character It's Goo Young-il Standing in a place that looks like a field in Gwanyangji radiating a majestic mysterious aura—just who is that person Yes Who is that This system called Ji Young-il is really interesting Subscribers to the monthly boyfriend service are Whether they've experienced it or not when seeking something new the 901st subscriber Exactly 100% aligned the character of Gu Young -il is created and remarkably Gu Young-il is A character with an appearance nearly identical to Park Kyung-nam yet subtly different appeared causing Ms Seo Mi-rae to initially He's so ridiculously charming That guy I've always hated turns out he's exactly my type That's how it happened What's interesting is that their personalities are completely different Goo Young-il has a somewhat free- spirited wild charm while being calm and deeply passionate about art A pure soul possesses a dangerously captivating charm unpredictablespontaneity and yet at the same time Something mildly sweet and salty this one's so much like Park Kyung-nam yet I can't help getting drawn in—what's going on with my heart Loving like this— Shoves it in That moment when I saw the character named Seo Mi-rae from the script any girlfriend would truly A friend who believing love is everything in life and that it 's extremely important is very hesitant to start love lightly Over time whenever something began we'd think a lot about what would come after were done and those thoughts lingered Now while shooting together I've come to understand the character so deeply and now my role is to convey Gyeongnam through my performance The things that mattered most were starting to stabilize somehow despite the confusion fear and difficulty of the future When it actually came down to it once all those things had been resolved and the two of them became a couple everything felt so genuinely straightforward —more than anyone else could ever understand She's a character with nothing but love and that 's exactly what made me think she 's an incredibly endearing girlfriend archetype Zhara So
