Danao, Cebu resident spots Jisoo, Seo In-guk filming ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ next door
A Cebu resident's year-old video of Blackpink's Jisoo and actor Seo In-guk filming their K-drama "Boyfriend on Demand" next door in Danao City goes viral, giving fans a surprise glimpse into their production.
A resident from Barangay Sabang, Danao City, Cebu named Regine (TikTok user @reglouisse) had a unique encounter with Blackpink's Jisoo and actor Seo In-guk when they filmed the Korean drama 'Boyfriend on Demand' next door to her home in February 2025. Regine captured the moment on video but waited until March 2026 to post it on TikTok after the series had aired, wanting to avoid spoilers for fans. The video quickly went viral, giving K-drama enthusiasts a surprise behind-the-scenes glimpse of the production.
According to reports from Cebu Daily News (Inquirer), Regine observed the filming from her window at a private beach house adjacent to her coastal residence. She described the experience as thrilling since Jisoo is her favorite idol, though she maintained her distance to respect the production. In an amusing detail, Regine shared that the film crew asked for and used a bottle of local hard liquor from her friend as a prop during the shoot.
The drama 'Boyfriend on Demand' stars Jisoo as overworked producer Seo Mi-rae and Seo In-guk as her rival Kyeong Nam. While the series features several Cebu locations including Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort, Shangri-La Mactan, El Mar Resort Cebu, and Nustar Resort & Casino, the Danao City filming appears to have been a more intimate, private location shoot. The series prominently showcases Cebu's tropical beauty in Episode 6, where Mi-rae daydreams about a tropical getaway.
In March 2026, Jisoo and Seo In-guk discussed their positive experiences filming in Cebu during interviews on ANC's Dateline Philippines and other programs, contributing to renewed interest in the series and its Philippine locations. The viral video from the Danao resident has added to the buzz surrounding the show and highlighted Cebu's growing appeal as an international filming destination. The footage has been particularly exciting for fans as it provides an authentic, unscripted look at the stars during production in a residential setting rather than the more polished resort locations featured in the series.
