In March, the Korean screen had 10 new movies aired. Prominent among them is the movie "Boyfriend on demand", with a 22.39% interest rate, according to Soompi statistics.
Belonging to the romantic comedy genre, the film tells the story of Seo Mi Rae (Jisoo) - a webtoon (online comic) producer who is always spinning in the work cycle.
One day, Mi Rae accidentally receives the Monthly Issue Boyfriend device - the door that takes her into the virtual reality world. Here, she experiences dreamy dates.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the love affair with colleague Park Kyeong Nam (Seo In Guk) is also gradually blooming.
Airing on March 6, the work received expectations, not only because of the topic, but also because of Jisoo's performance.
As an idol encroaching on acting, the actress has been involved in acting controversies many times. So with the movie "Boyfriend on Request", this is considered a proof, to see if she is suitable for the "heavyweight" of the main role in a movie or not.
Regarding this, Jisoo answered cautiously: "Because I took on many different roles in "Boyfriend on demand", I met the director many times and had extensive discussions so that this time I could express a better aspect of myself.
When playing Mi Rae - a character almost as old as me, I feel like I am acting in a costume that fits me. When the audience watches this project, I think they will feel that I have found a character that really suits me.
Meanwhile, director Kim Jung Sik highly appreciated the efforts of the Blackpink member.
“Jisoo has handled many different scenes and characters very well. The audience will not only see the maturity of the character but also the maturity of Jisoo as an actress” - the director said.
Also airing on March 6th is the romantic psychological film "Still Shining".
The work tells the story of Yeon Tae Seo (Jinyoung) and Mo Eun Ah (Kim Min Ju) - two people who loved each other from childhood but broke up. 10 years later, they reunite and face pain, maturity and new challenges as they gradually become a source of light for each other in life.
Receiving 11.68% of audience interest (according to Soompi), the movie "Light of Ours" is expected to be a "healing" work for March, when the story, setting, and color of the film bring viewers nostalgia and warmth.
Director Kim Yoon Jin - who was successful with the movie "Our Dear Summer" believes that this project will leave a special impression on viewers thanks to portraying the lasting love of the main couple throughout all 4 seasons.
Meanwhile, male lead Jinyoung emphasized that this is a work depicting love in a classic way, focusing on familiar and realistic details. He hopes everyone will sympathize with the movie "Light of Our Love" as his own story.
Kim Min Ju also agreed with this opinion, and added, "the filming is so beautiful that just watching it can see healing".
