Jisoo is amazing, but honestly, the cast of virtual boyfriends is what's got me excited. Seo Kang-jun and Lee Jae-wook? That's some serious eye candy. Netflix India, please promote this well! The trailer already has great vibes.

Interesting theme. In our culture, there's so much pressure to find the "perfect" match through arranged marriage setups or apps. This show exploring fantasy vs. reality in love is very timely, even if it's a K-drama.

As a huge BLINK, I'm so proud of Jisoo! Her acting looks great. The premise is fun but also makes you think. We all curate perfect lives on social media, so a dating simulation is just the next step. March 6 is marked on my calendar!

While the show looks entertaining, I hope it doesn't just glorify escapism. In real India, with our hectic jobs and family expectations, finding love is complicated. A show should balance fantasy with a meaningful message about real relationships.

Yay, another K-drama to binge with my friends! The "overtime work buddies" turning into something more is such a classic trope, but I love it. Perfect for a weekend watch with some popcorn. The production value looks top-notch as always.
