Jisoo (Blackpink) has just returned to the screen with the Netflix movie "Boyfriend on Demand".
The work tells the story of Mi Rae (played by Jisoo) - a webtoon producer who is tired of real life. She starts "registering and experiencing love" through a virtual dating simulation application, thereby fulfilling her romantic dreams.
Just Jisoo's participation alone has made the film highly anticipated globally. This is the first Netflix series of a member of the girl group Blackpink.
The appearance of the leading Kpop idol is enough to attract attention. Moreover, this is also a Korean comedy-romantic genre that is loved by many audiences, so "Boyfriend on Demand" is predicted to achieve impressive results.
However, according to JTBC News, in her role as the main actress, Jisoo still continues to reveal the limitations seen in previous works. Although she has entered her 6th year as an actress, her acting ability has not changed much clearly.
The issue of pronunciation and voice, which is Jisoo's inherent weakness, has not improved this time. The somewhat clumsy pronunciation and mixed nose voice make it difficult for her to connect the rhythm of the film scene naturally.
At the same time, it is difficult to find a strong enough acting performance in Jisoo to compensate for this limitation. In the comedy - romance genre, she has not handled the lines quickly and flexibly, and is also not really comfortable when expressing humorous elements in body language.
Finally, the gap due to unstable acting was filled with a beautiful appearance.
Boyfriend on Demand" is a movie in which Jisoo takes up most of the time. Along with her "monthly boyfriends", she has to lead all 10 episodes. Therefore, the limitations in Jisoo's acting ability can become decisive factors for the work.
Jisoo started her acting career in 2021 through the psychological-romantic film "Snowdrop". Last year, she tried her hand at another genre through the TV series "Newtopia" on Coupang Play, and "Boyfriend on Demand" was the 3rd film she starred in.
Amidst concerns about acting, Jisoo continues to meet global audiences through her new work.
Director Kim Jung Sik, who directed "Boyfriend on Demand", said about Jisoo: "She really tried very hard. Jisoo has shown many sets and many different types of characters well.
In the film, the audience can see the character Mi Rae grow up, and at the same time see the maturity of actress Jisoo. I believe that effort can overcome innate talent”.
For her part, Jisoo shared: "Because I have to perform many different roles, this time I also met and exchanged a lot with the director to be able to bring a better image.
When playing a character of my age, I researched to find a better way to express myself. I hope the audience will feel that I am really suitable for this character”.
