Across the 10 episodes, Mi-rae’s trajectory shifts from digital addiction to real-life commitment:
- The Digital Hook (Episodes 1–4): Exhausted by her webtoon job, Mi-rae receives the "Boyfriend on Demand" subscription box. She enters virtual scenarios with different avatars (played by Lee Soo-hyuk, Seo Kang-joon, Ong Seong-wu, Lee Jae-wook). The instant dopamine rush boosts her energy, helping her win workplace battles against her rival Kyeong-nam. However, flashbacks show her breakup with college ex Se-jun, explaining her deep-seated fear of real romance.
- The Real-World Friction (Episodes 5–7): During a company retreat, Kyeong-nam shows genuine concern for Mi-rae, revealing a warmer side behind his cold exterior. Suspiciously, Mi-rae notices an AI model in her subscription app named Yeong-il who closely resembles Kyeong-nam in demeanor, making her question whether her digital preferences are spilling over into real life.
- The Unraveling (Episodes 8–9): Mi-rae realizes she is falling for Kyeong-nam in real life, making her virtual dates feel hollow. When Kyeong-nam accidentally discovers her VR headset and custom avatar in Episode 9, he feels hurt and confused, believing he was replaced by a digital simulation. Meanwhile, workplace crises mount as author Yun Song faces publication scandals.
- The Finale Twist & Resolution (Episode 10): In the finale, Mi-rae discovers that her favorite AI boyfriend (Eun-ho / Yeong-il) is actually a standardized default model shared by thousands of other female subscribers worldwide. Realizing that digital "love" is merely an illusion of mass production, she cancels her subscription, confronts Kyeong-nam outside of work, and confesses her true feelings, choosing a flawed but genuine future together.
