So catch me up. What's new since we last saw each other?
I graduated,
and my friends and I opened our own firm.
Ooh.
How about kumdo? Do you still practice?
Not since you crushed me that one day.
I was brutal, I guess.
I was worried when you dropped out like that.
I dropped out?
Without any warning.
Oh, so that's my backstory?
Oh, I had a…
Things were a little complicated.
I wish you'd kept in touch at least.
So do I.
And you? What have you been up to?
Well,
I've been a webtoon producer for a while now.
SEO MI-RAE WEBTOON PD
A business card?
At a company called 'Naemo,” near Hapjeong.
NAEMO
Webtoons, huh?
That's really cool.
You want one? It's my card.
This is very… impressive.
For the first time,
I'm the same person here as I am in the real world.
Thanks.
And I'm pretty sure we both know… I'm no architect.
This is it.
Our office.
ES ARCHITECTS STUDIO
Hmm. You even have your own building and everything.
Mm.
We can see each other again, right?
Yes.
Do you want me to walk you home?
That's very sweet, But I'm sure you still have work to do.
It's after dark. You sure?
After dark is when the fun starts.
That's when I drink at the pochas by myself.
You always were able to drink us under the table, weren't you?
It's good to see you again.
-And next time, dinner's on me. -Mm.
Who's this?
Hello?
Hi.
Who is this?
Are you home yet?
I wanted to make sure you made it back okay.
Eun-ho?
How could you be calling for real?
-Everything all right? -Oh, yeah.
I just… Hold on a second!
What the heck?
All subscribers with a basic plan or higher
can exchange calls and text messages
with their Boyfriend on Demand male characters, even after logging out.
Holy crap.
Hello? Mi-rae, are you still there?
Yes, sorry, I'm here.
What are you doing? I don't wanna keep you up.
Actually, I'm kind of wired.
Well, then, how about we talk till one of us falls asleep?
Sounds good.
Ooh, you're the first person I haven't stumped with that one.
Then you haven't met true horror fans.
It's way more interesting when the main character's a local.
No kidding. My biggest peeve
is when the protagonist is someone who just moved into town.
Glad we agree.
So, maybe we could catch a movie together?
-Together? -Mm-hmm.
I'll come and meet you. Outside your office, okay?
Huh?
Unless that makes you uncomfortable?
No, it's not that.
If you're free tomorrow,
I can meet you after work and we'll see what's playing.
This realism's kinda freaky.
Sounds good.
Great.
It's a date then.
EP05 THE CAVEATS OF PERFECTION
Sorry for being late.
Let me just grab a quick coffee.
I got you one. It's cold, though, since you're late.
That was nice of you.
I lost track of time reviewing a new submission.
-Mm. -I'm good to go though.
I didn't like this piece.
It just felt like a rehash of ideas we've seen before.
Mm. Unoriginal.
Can we have a complete original these days?
I also think the overall look is amateurish and sloppy.
With the right guidance, we can fix all that.
But the ridiculously silly plot is not fixable, and you know that.
We see silly plots top the charts all the time. People love them.
What's wrong?
Uh, nothing. It's just…
I'm wondering if you meant a specific title?
There's so many of them. As you know.
I do. I'm just curious.
Again with this attitude. What gives?
I'm gonna go warm up my coffee.
We were up a bit late. Hope you got to work all right.
It's been ages since I had a guy checking in on me.
Dong-min, wanna grab some lunch?
Sorry, I'm meeting a client. You two eat together.
-What? He's-- -Your call.
-We have a reservation for two. -Enjoy your meal.
-Uh… -Coming?
Yeah.
Thanks.
God, this is so awkward.
Do you like romance?
What?
Since we're both working on it, I was curious.
It's not… my favorite.
Me neither.
Do I care?
Uh-huh…
What do you like?
Uh…
Horror.
Why?
Uh, I guess
it's a way to get my heart racing every once in a while,
and remind me that I still have one.
Horror's also on the top of my list.
Who asked you?
Hmm… Cool.
Working on The Man to Know must drive you completely nuts?
Sometimes. Of course.
And we both know why I'm the one working on it.
Don't give up.
Be there soon.
Take your time and mind the gap.
The doors are opening.
Eun-ho!
-Did you wait long? -You're worth it.
-Mm! -If we walk fast enough, we won't be late.
Die, psycho!
I can't feel my legs!
Let go of my mommy!
Popcorn's good here, right?
My heart's racing like crazy, but I don't think it's the movie.
I like getting butterflies.
Sorry, it's a bit messy.
-It's gorgeous. But why's it so quiet? -Everyone's out today, so it's just us.
Have a look around. I'll get us something to drink.
We had fun, didn't we?
Every time I look at it, I realize how young we all were.
But what I didn't realize then…
is no matter how hard I tried,
I could never forget you.
We've got a great rooftop. Wanna check it out?
Hmm?
What is it?
Are you gonna walk out of my life again?
Not again.
I like this, so I'm sticking around.
On my way to work. Have a good day.
What are you in the mood to eat?
Mm… everything sounds good right now.
The other day, you said you were craving lasagna.
I'll take you to a great Italian spot.
I'm not sure the writer understands that.
I agree with you on the characters, they're different,
but I'm not sure they're enough to save the story overall.
-What's going on? -Hmm?
Why?
No reason.
Please continue.
Oh. Thanks.
Eun-ho!
-Been waiting long? -You're worth it.
I finally found what I've been looking for for so long.
The perfect way to spend what little free time I have.
With the perfect person.
-Look at its mouth. -Whoa!
Whoa!
Wow!
One day, you told me…
How can each date be even more perfect than the last?
What a beautiful day.
I'm saving our love In to my memory file
We are happy like floating clouds
I can't feel on my skin…
Time really does fly when you're having fun.
A love in beta still feels better
Even though you're a fiction
We are dancing slow
Love's reflection glows So real tonight
I need one more chance
Your voice drips like warm honey All through my wires
We are dancing slow
Love's reflection glows So real tonight
I need one more chance
Your voice drips like warm honey Over my heart
Da-da-da, da
Did you really like him that much?
Here.
You put this guy behind you, or you beg him to reconsider.
I'll never find him. It's just marketing.
What is?
The idea of a perfect match out there for each of us.
I've dated over 30 guys, and I'm still single.
It's like searching for a unicorn.
So you're gonna stop dating?
Dating is fucked!
Whoa. Kinda harsh, isn't it?
I've wasted so much time!
Imagine what I could've done instead of dating losers!
If I'd put more energy into getting a master's instead of going on dates,
I'd be in love with a doctor.
Don't wallow in that BS.
You'll find your guy.
It's all over.
I put all my energy on a bunch of tools,
and I'm too exhausted to ever try again.
For now.
I should've lived more like you have.
-Like a nun. -Huh?
You're so focused on your career!
Whoa.
JI-YEON
Hey, I changed my profile picture.
Does it look like I'm trying too hard?
It's perfect.
EUN-HO
Hey, what's up?
Just checking in. How's your friend?
-Her boyfriend broke it off. -Oh.
Breakups are rough.
I have a question.
Do you think we all have a soulmate or perfect match out there?
I'm not sure. Why?
Just curious, I guess.
If you're asking me, maybe you don't think you've found yours.
I said I was curious.
I want some soup to warm me up. You hungry?
Had I found the prince charming that Ji-yeon couldn't?
-Eun-ho. -Hmm?
When we're together like this,
do you actually enjoy it?
After that question on the phone,
I'm getting a little nervous.
The time we spend together, is it worth it to you?
Is this about your friend?
I wonder if our…
relationship's a good thing.
Or if it's just nice to have someone to spend some time with.
-Mi-rae. -Hmm?
I love the time I spend with you.
And when I'm not with you,
all I think about is you.
You want to elaborate?
I love how you look.
How you smile.
How you talk.
How you walk, even how you eat.
Hmm.
Are we a good thing?
I think we're perfect.
Good to know.
So what are we?
Perfect.
Hmm. I think Ji-yeon has got it all wrong.
We can find our unicorn.
Don't take this the wrong way, but… why are you here?
Oh. The others really wanted sushi for lunch.
-And I can't eat anything raw. -Oh…
Well, you can eat with us every day if you like.
So the workshop…
You guys are all going this year?
The workshop?
-Mm-hmm. It's in a few days. -You wouldn't dare.
Yeah, why not?
It's just a retreat.
He can't make us.
Really?
Are you gonna say you're too sick to attend?
That went well.
Elevator's leaving. Free lunch, who's in?
-Ooh! Me, me, me! -Mi-rae, come on, hurry!
-Hurry! -Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I--
The door's closing.
The door's closing. The door's closing. The door's closing. The door's closing.
You go ahead.
I'm full.
I think we've determined that it's too big of a campaign for one person.
If we divide the tasks, we'll get the writers to stay on schedule.
-I'm happy to get on board. -Anything else?
I do have one idea I'd like to run by you--
-Any other items? -Mi-rae.
We're adjourned.
Eat up! Come on, don't be shy. It's on me. Whatever you want.
Just so you know,
that stomach virus I had, it's completely gone--
She's all better. Let's get her a cake. Sheesh!
They have a new barmaid, raise your hand if you're thirsty.
Oh, Mi-rae. Fancy seeing you here.
Forgot what she looked like.
First the retreat, then I don't see her at work. Like she's a ghost.
He gave you the cold shoulder for three weeks.
Director Hwang is a world-class grudge holder.
You kinda gotta hand it to him. Skip again, you'll do twice the time.
Wait a second. Didn't you miss that one too?
He let you slide?
Yes. I had a good reason.
So, what is it this year?
You're going, aren't you?
I can… skip it so you're not the only one.
I want to attend.
You wanna attend an overnight retreat? With us?
What's gotten into you, huh? Are you playing?
No.
My parents live near the center, so I'll get to stop in for a visit.
You shouldn't just stop in though.
It is the weekend, and family time is sacred.
For all of us.
FLAMING JJAMPPONG
Evil little bastard.
Wow, I just love the smell of the wild.
Wake up! We're here, sleepyheads.
WORKSHOP ALL NIGHT!
You know, they don't have porters here.
You're gonna have to go back and get your bags.
Have a great workshop. I'll miss you.
I miss you already.
Morning.
Hey.
Eun-ju! Take a picture of me with the prizes.
7TH ANNUAL NAEMO ULTIMATE OTAKU CONTEST
Ready? We're about to see who's ready to win the crown
for the seventh annual Otaku trivia bowl!
And, of course, the winner will have first dibs
on any of these fabulous limited edition treasures
you see before you,
graciously offered by our one and only Director Hwang!
All up for the challenge, I hope? Huh?
It's the same thing every damn retreat.
-You mean the contest? -Pretty much everything.
So question number one.
Give me the name of the manga series the following line is from,
"I talked to a guy for the first time. Am I… about to get a boyfriend?"
Oh!
-I know it. -You were fastest. Let's hear it!
I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die?
Correct!
-She is?! -Good start. Good start.
I've got the first one.
Listen up for question number two. From the classics.
In which Dragon Ball episode
did Tenshinhan first appear in a Tenkaichi Budokai?
I know!
Episode 37!
So wrong!
Wait, I got it! Is it 23?
It is not!
-It's in the thirties. -It's not.
-Dong-min… -Yep?
It was 22.
That is… so right!
Wow!
Nice!
Point to Kyeong-nam!
How long did Cha Dong-hwan of Polar Night serve in the air force?
-I know that one! -Hit it.
-Eight years. -She gets another one!
Ooh!
In Villain to Kill, the hotel manager helps Kwon Yu-ri when she's in danger.
-What's the first thing he says? -"Good morning." That's what he says.
Ding, ding, ding!
-Bona's child always carries-- -A doll!
-Kongdoli. -Her doll!
-In Theme Park of Death, Baek Jin-- -I got it!
-Yes? -Rolling Z Train.
-Correct! -Yes! Mi-rae, you know your stuff.
In Transfer Student at Apocalypse High, what class was Cha Geon-u's friend's…
-I know. It was 25. -Correct!
Now for a tough one.
How tall is Oh Seong-chan, who faints all the time?
Five foot… ten or so?
-Wrong! -Taller.
He's six-foot two.
Another point for you!
-The bird! -His mom!
-Winter! -Both.
-The badger! Arapara Garatus! -Arapara Garatus… Your point!
Fantastic, work your magic!
And that was the final point, going to Seo Mi-rae!
I don't think we've ever had such a heated showdown.
Now hold on as I announce your brand-new champion.
The winner of the Seventh Annual Naemo Cup Otaku contest…
Park Kyeong-nam!
Team 1! Team 1! Team 1!
Mi-rae, if you win the treasure hunt, what prize do you hope to get?
Oh.
The right to go home.
Holy cow! I'm freezing!
Who hides clues in a river?
Especially when it's not even summer, and the water's ice-cold?
Is that a snake?
Get it!
-My bad. It's only a twig. -Oh! You dropped your phone!
-No! Crap! It's floating away! -Oh no, I can't lose it!
-What do we do? -Go get it!
Go, go!
Dong-min!
Oh!
Oh, it's too cold!
-What? Get in there. -Hold on.
-Dong-min, hurry, hurry! -What in the world?
-What're you doing? -This doesn't look good.
Oh?
Thank you so much.
Aren't you cold?
I think it hit a rock or something. The screen's cracked.
Oh? Are you kidding me? I just bought this too.
I guess I'll see you later. I gotta go change.
Keep racking up the wins, bro.
That's not good. You worked hard to get that phone.
Yeah. It's fine though.
Like he is.
-Huh? -So fine.
-Okay, let's capture the toast! -Mm! Any requests? For songs?
-Cheers! -No?
-Okay, I'll just choose for you. -Mmm.
It's such a nice surprise you were able to join us.
I hear you have family near here? Are your parents farmers too?
I don't know why,
but I'm starting to think the guy's got it.
Are you that drunk?
The way he went in, so calm and cool while everyone was freaking out,
that was borderline heroic.
Then he just left.
That was a rock-star move. And chicks dig it.
Yeah.
-Woo-hoo! -Whoa!
I'll go get some soju.
-As I turned into the alleyway -Turned into the alleyway
My heart was pounding
Was pounding
I suddenly stand at your window
Over which…
Mi-rae.
Yeah?
What's wrong?
Is that water?
'Course not.
It's soju.
Oh. Sure is.
I can't drink soju.
Huh?
I can't drink soju.
Oh, oh, oh-oh!
It's only soju in here. The water's over there.
Appreciate it.
Please… such a lightweight.
-Mm-hmm, okay? -Mm!
Where did this one's cap go?
What?
-Huh? -I can't find… the cap for this one.
That bottle's empty, so no one cares if it's got a cap on it.
I care. A lot. It's the only one without it.
Look.
He's got them lined up like soldiers.
-You drank all those? -I really need to put the cap on this one.
Look at that. He's got them all perfectly lined up over there.
Man, this guy sure acts weird when he's drunk, huh?
All right, Kyeong-nam. Let's get you to bed.
You're right. They don't match.
It's around here somewhere.
That boy is just one surprise after another.
-All right man, here we are. -We need to find that cap first, okay?
-You understand? -I'll look for it.
If we don't find it, something bad'll happen.
Go to sleep. It's all good.
-I need it. -Guys, we need a song.
-Who wants it? -No, thanks! Don't touch it!
Don't touch it. It's a trick.
-Mi-rae? Hey. -Sing a song! Sing a song!
You have the mic, you have to get up there.
Uh, I really can't. I…
But after a long time
I was crying by myself
The pain
That I gave you, I received in kind
For…
Hmm.
The end.
-Why stop? Wasn't that bad. -Oh!
Look who's here!
-It's okay! You should go back to bed! -I can't.
My ears are bleeding.
Snap!
And I thought I was mean.
-Your ears… -I'm done. Your turn.
Ugh, office romance never works.
Mi-rae!
Mi-rae, wasn't that fun?
-You must be glad you came, huh? -Yes, sir!
You sure know how to host a retreat! Ha!
-So you'll be at the next one, right? -Yeah, yeah, of course.
-Hey, guys! I call shotgun! -Let's bum a ride.
Oh! We can't do that.
There's something I want to talk about on the bus, but Eun-ju can go.
There's lots of room.
Oh, cool, cool, cool! We can talk while he drives us, right?
-Read the room. -What?
-Can we go? -He wants to go. Get in!
I tried.
-You go up front. I'll sit here. -Huh?
What?
You in or not?
Oh, uh…
In, I guess.
Right here is fine.
-I'll go with you, Dong-min. -Uh?
Oh God! Don't throw up in here.
Get out, get out, get out! Hurry, hurry!
Uh… Thanks for giving us all a ride.
-You're getting off here too? -Yeah, I'll take the subway.
-I'm fine here. -I don't mind taking you.
-I'm headed that way. -Uh…
-Thanks again for the ride. Beats the bus. -See you tomorrow.
Oh!
I really like the smell of your air freshener.
Just shut up.
Nearly covers the smell of alcohol coming out of your pores.
Huh? It is?
I hardly drank.
Didn't I?
You live over by Yongsan Station, don't you?
Yeah.
But that's out of the way for you, isn't it?
-No. -You live in Seongsu.
I have a work thing with Hwany in that area.
On a Sunday?
Yes.
Oh… I was under the impression you didn't work on weekends.
Well, when an author decides to level up, my work-life balance goes out the window.
I see.
Leveling up, huh? So I guess you have to… work harder?
How are things going with Ms. Yun?
Sounds like Director Hwang's a little worried.
Why would he be worried?
Probably 'cause sales dropped.
The numbers for last month weren't so good.
Which is totally normal due to the hiatus and the coin thing.
It would be okay if sales and ratings stayed up.
-But when they tank, he gets nervous. -Yeah… He does.
I'm actually going to meet with Hwany about the new ad campaign.
He's replacing Ms. Yun this time around. The advertisers got worried.
Can I drop you off over there?
Sure. This might seem like a weird question,
but why am I getting all of this from you instead of the director?
Ask him.
Thanks again for the ride.
Anymore inside info you're holding out on?
A little.
Let's hear it.
I like you, Mi-rae.
Huh?
-My ears are clogged. -Your ears are fine.
Uh…
I don't think I… got that. It sounded almost like you said that you--
I like you.
I'm trying to ask you out on a date.
Huh?! This is coming out of nowhere.
Since when--
-I gotta go. -Can we…
See you soon.
Idiot. He can't say that.
I get it.
He's messing with me.
It's all part of his plan to get ahead.
Or… Hold on.
Last night, on the bench with Eun-ju…
He wouldn't!
That weasel wants to date both of us?
Not a chance.
Even though it was a romantic setting and all,
the bench in the moonlight,
and a nice little buzz sitting next to each other.
-I used my best moves. -And?
Shot down with the brutal truth.
Like a bucket of cold water in the face.
Sorry, but the odds of that are zero.
Mm… You don't have any wiggle room on that at all?
Not even… for one date?
-What would be the point of that? -To get to know each other.
Hmm. I know the important stuff,
so I know we'll never be more than colleagues.
Ah…
Oh my goodness. I got so dizzy.
Wow, he really is just built different.
Yeah. First my phone cracked, then my ego.
That was the worst workshop ever.
Crap. Is it possible he meant what he said?
-Don't let him see me! -Who? What? What's happening?
Whoa! What the heck?
-What're we doing? Hey, wait. -What the…?
Uh, Eun-ju, Mi-rae, where are you…
-Yo! -Hey.
What are you doing?
Are we playing choo choo?
-Train is leaving the station! -Whoa, let go! Whoa!
Whose chair is this?
Mine?
I like you.
Most readers gave this part high marks.
And I personally thought the artistic style was excellent,
and the witty homage.
It's not too trendy, but it oozes creativity.
Overall it feels fun but… polished.
I like you. I like you. I like you.
Get a grip. Get a grip!
-I say we take five? -Sounds good.
Hmm? Huh? Oh, uh… I… I'll go too.
Push.
Oh…
Why is he messing with my head like this?
Do I get to see you today?
Yes, you do. I'll leave work early.
-Ms. Seo. -Yes?
I guess you don't feel the same.
Huh?
You can't keep running away forever.
I… That's not what I was doing. I just wanted to…
We're grown-ups.
I can handle it.
Oh God…
If you're not interested, please just say so.
Uh…
It's just that I…
If you're seeing someone, I'll leave you alone.
I do
have a guy.
I don't talk about him at work. I
like to keep it private.
So I'll just pretend my ears were really clogged, okay?
Sure.
Huh?
I understand.
Oh.
What's with the cavalier attitude, anyway?
What, he doesn't like me anymore?
I do have a guy.
PRODUCER PARK KYEONG-NAM
Who cares? He's so full of himself.
Whatever.
Wait. Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa.
So you're a master of every sport you do?
It's a blessing and a curse.
-If I fall will, you catch me? -I'll think about it.
Guess what?
A guy at work likes me.
The one you always say drives you nuts?
He finally told you?
You knew he would?
It came out of nowhere, honestly.
When I told him I was seeing someone, he just said, "Sure."
I'll bet he wasn't really interested.
Probably to distract me from work. Ugh, such a weasel.
You like to talk about that weasel when we're together though, don't you?
Do I hear jealousy?
'Course not.
Are you sure?
You sounded jealous.
Hmm…
Do I look prettier?
I'm trying to ask you out on a date.
Hmm…
I still got it.
Why don't you try something new with your hair for once?
Like I've been telling you, I think you're overcompensating.
You think this is still about that loser? I hardly remember him.
Sure.
And the retail therapy you're still doing has nothing to do with it?
I have to get out into that brave new world, don't I?
It would be an awful shame for the glamor to stay on the inside.
It's your money.
Oh, Seo Eun-ho.
Isn't he gorgeous?
Oh, that's a good shot. Oh!
And those eyes!
-Who was your first? -The pilot.
-Did you fly? -Yes, at night.
-Did you see stars? -In his eyes, yeah.
I'll try this one next.
The retreat? I want to try the one where it starts raining, and oh!
THE EVER-SHINING FIRST-LOVE SENIOR SEO EUN-HO
-He's just so perfect. -Oh my God.
Among those receiving rave reviews is Seo Eun-ho.
Several women who fell in love described him as gentle and strong,
sexy but attentive.
-K had this to say… -Reality's gone out the window for me.
The time I spent with Eun-ho after work, from the comfort of my bed
feels as if I'm dating him in real life.
Scratch that. BOD is way better.
Eun-ho the college student's top five.
Number five, moving in close to help you fasten your kumdo uniform.
Don't hold back on me like last time. I want the challenge.
Number four,
running in the sudden downpour together, like a scene out of a movie. Number three…
I wish you didn't see me as just a friend.
-Number two… -The exam?
…confirming your feelings for each other on the campus steps.
I'm sure I failed. Couldn't focus.
Number one, moonlit night.
The romantic moment by the water staring up at the Milky Way.
Eun-ho the architect's top five.
Number five…
As pretty as ever.
Number four, when he moves in to tie your apron,
but even smoother than when he was in school.
Number three…
I didn't realize then no matter how hard I tried,
I could never forget you.
It's so dark.
What's going on?
Oh. Hi.
You surprised me.
Glad it worked.
Here.
These are beautiful. What's the occasion?
Ah, I just wanna celebrate you.
That okay?
It's sweet. I love flowers.
You're very quiet.
You hardly talked during dinner.
Didn't I?
Everything all right?
Mm-hmm. Everything's fine.
Mi-rae?
Mm-hmm?
I'm afraid.
You're gonna walk out of my life again.
Eun-ho the architect's top five. Number two…
I'm afraid. You're gonna walk out of my life again.
Oh jeez.
Maybe we can discuss it later.
Have I done something to upset you?
No, it's not that.
My eyes are up here.
Number one,
when you're pinned against a car and he leans in,
pouring all that gentle sexiness into a kiss.
This is getting to be too much.
I'm sorry.
You haven't done anything to upset me.
I'm the one who changed.
I can't do it.
I can't buy into this fantasy world any longer.
Your number one move didn't work.
I don't understand.
I'm gonna go. You were right about that.
Meaning?
I do wanna thank you for everything.
Take care of yourself.
Don't go.
Playing with my feelings like this? Like I'm a puppet on a string?
I want a refund.
Who needs this crazy service?
Oh God! You gave me a heart attack!
Oh!…
-How's it going? -Fine.
What's wrong? And be honest.
Oh… You lost interest in the architect?
No problem. Just start a new search.
Is the reason you're here because I said I was quitting?
'Course not.
I wasn't aware. Really!
I check in with all the girls. I mean…
Do you wanna cancel?
Maybe.
I'm sure if you tell me what's bothering you,
we can find a win-win solution to your problem.
We have answers for everything, probably some you haven't considered. Mm?
-Mm-hmm? -Let me ask you.
Eun-ho's dating a lot of other clients. How many exactly?
Oh… You really want me to answer that?
Yes. And if you don't, you will lose a client.
Okay.
One sec.
CHOI SI-WOO - SEO EUN-HO
More or less 12,430.
12,000?!
12,434.
My… my boyfriend has 12,000… Player!
I knew I shouldn't have told you.
12,000 other women he made fall for him with those perfect lines,
and those perfect dates, and those perfect eyes?
What?
Did it go up? Is it a lot?
Uh, since we've been talking, only six new ones really.
Enough! I'm done.
What I'm sensing is that you don't like the fact
that your boyfriend is basically not only yours?
Yes. I know it's silly. My head knows it's a fantasy, but my heart doesn't.
Mm-hmm.
It was good to have romance in my life.
I just wish I hadn't been one of thousands.
Anywho, it's not like that's something you can fix.
Not with your current membership.
-Huh? -This is quite an easy fix.
Your main objection is, there isn't one special guy for you.
If you had that kind of service, I would've used it.
Your current package gives you access to all 900 candidates.
But what if I told you there's one more you haven't seen?
BOD 901.
Your bespoke love match, created entirely for you.
Uh… So, you mean he's only for me?
And no one else?
We'll create your own man.
One perfect custom-tailored boyfriend that you design for yourself.
Gu Yeong-il.
Gu Yeong-il?

"I like the naughty feeling I get from dating a bad boy."
Nope.
“I like a guy who can turn on the charm, over one who never has to turn it off.”
Yes.
"I like quiet men who let their actions speak for themselves."
Yeah, loud ones are obnoxious… Mm, yes.
Oh! Yeah.
Ugh… How many more are there?
Are you kidding?
"Describe your ideal man below. Max 2,000 characters"?
Ugh! Not an essay.
God, it's like I'm back in school.
What are the reviews for this?
BOYFRIEND ON DEMAND 901
Gu Yeong-il is the undisputed champion of BOD.
Who knew I had such fine taste?
Finally getting over my breakup.
I finally know what love is. Ten stars!
Gu Yeong-il is totally worth the price of the membership.
I didn't know my ideal man until I met my custom-tailored guy. In love!
Optimization complete.
I don't know where I'm headed, but I do know
that my perfect match is at the end of the road.
What the hell?
-The doors are opening. -Good morning.
The doors are closing.
-Lose something? -Ah!
I didn't know you were there.
No. 8
Just wanted…
One day, you told me
"I love you, baby…"
This? Is this what you're looking for?
I'm saving our love Into our memory file
We are happy like floating clouds…
Ta-da!
I guess you'd be soft and warm
A love in beta still feels better
Even though you're a fiction
We are dancing slow
Love's reflection glows So real tonight
I need one more chance
Your voice drips like warm honey All through my wires
Someday, you'll call me Your "digital baby"
When it's sleep time Will you dream of my love
I'm saving your smile in my coded file
Coded file
We'll still be shining When midnight comes
I can't see where you've been
You fade through the screen again
Loving pixels still feel so tender
Even though you're just the sender
We are dancing slow
Those reflections glow so real tonight
I need one more chance
Your voice drips like warm honey All through my wires
Maybe love's just a line of code
A sweet illusion I call my own
Even if this world resets again
My heart will still log in To your name
We are dancing slow
Love's reflection glows So real tonight ough my wires
