Jisoo’s rom-com Boyfriend on Demand Tops Netflix Global Chart

Jisoo’s rom-com Boyfriend on Demand has officially ascended to the No. 1 position on Netflix’s global weekly chart for non-English television series. According to the latest data from the streaming giant, the 10-part Korean series garnered a staggering 4.8 million views for the week ending March 15, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the BLACKPINK member’s first foray into the romantic comedy genre.

A Global Phenomenon Across 47 Countries

The series, which premiered on March 6, has seen a meteoric rise in viewership. After debuting at No. 4 just three days after its release, it climbed to the top spot in its second week. Jisoo’s rom-com Boyfriend on Demand has not only dominated the South Korean market but also entered the Top 10 lists in 47 countries, including Japan, Brazil, Mexico, and France.

The show’s success is a testament to the global star power of Kim Ji-soo. Playing the role of Mi-rae, a burnt-out webtoon producer who seeks solace in a virtual dating subscription service, Jisoo has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Despite mixed reviews regarding her performance, the high engagement levels and “popcorn score” on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes indicate a strong resonance with the audience.

Star-Studded Cast and Virtual Romance

One of the key drivers behind the massive buzz for Jisoo’s rom-com Boyfriend on Demand is its unique premise and star-studded lineup. Starring alongside Jisoo is Seo In-guk, who plays her office rival and real-world romantic interest, Park Kyeong-nam.

The “subscription dating” concept allows for a variety of “ideal boyfriends” to appear throughout the series. High-profile actors such as Seo Kang-joon, Lee Jae-wook, and Kim Young-dae make special appearances as virtual partners, offering viewers a diverse “menu” of romantic fantasies. This innovative storytelling, combined with the relatable theme of workplace burnout, has solidified the show’s position as a must-watch title in 2026.

Leading the K-Content Wave on Netflix

The dominance of this series further proves the enduring popularity of Korean romantic comedies. Alongside this hit, other Korean titles like the legal fantasy drama Phantom Lawyer and the romance Still Shining also maintained spots in the Top 10, showing a robust appetite for K-content.

As Jisoo’s rom-com Boyfriend on Demand continues its reign at the top, industry experts are watching closely to see if it will break further records for total viewing hours in the coming weeks. For now, Jisoo has successfully transitioned into her role as a “rom-com goddess,” proving her influence extends far beyond the music stage.
