BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is returning to screens with a high-stakes lead role that could redefine her acting career — or reignite long-running criticism. As Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy “Boyfriend on Demand” approaches its March 6 release, online debate has intensified over whether the K-pop star can finally shed the “bad acting” stigma that has followed her since her debut. The series centers on Mi-rae, a webtoon producer played by Jisoo, who escapes her exhausting reality through a futuristic virtual-dating subscription service. In the show’s premise, users can enter simulated worlds and experience romance across 900 themed scenarios simply by wearing a device — allowing Mi-rae to live out relationships, careers and alternate lives she cannot access in reality. The project marks Jisoo’s first drama lead since her acting debut in JTBC’s “Snowdrop” in 2021. She has since appeared in films including “Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman” and “Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy,” as well as the streaming series “Newtopia,” steadily building her acting résumé. Y
