Another viewer wrote, "Ji-Soo instills warmth and authenticity into future characters, making them instantly sympathize with confused and vulnerable emotions."

The drama's subject matter, which is in contact with the AI era, also drew sympathy from viewers. One reviewer said: "Monthly boyfriends are really connected to today's world. Many people fall in love with virtual relationships or delusional love online, and this drama clearly shows the problem (this drama really connects with today's world)." "The message that AI can never replace humans, which shows that humans are more deeply connected to their emotions and environment, has also been interpreted.

"Jisoo's Charm and the different dating scenario is what's going to Boyfriend on Demand appart from other K-romcoms."
