Idol FandomLove TriangleCEO Male LeadWebtoon AdaptationOffice Romance

Nam Da-reum has spent over a decade being unapologetically, financially, emotionally devoted to idol Lee Chan — the kind of fan who plans her calendar around his schedule. Then she lands a job at Appello Company, the fashion startup where her bias now works as a director, and My Bias, My Boss turns the fantasy of finally being close to your idol into a workplace comedy with an inconvenient complication: her cold, quietly attentive CEO, Kang Ha-gi, starts paying attention to her first.

An overseas company retreat turns a string of small misunderstandings into a full love triangle — Ha-gi reads Da-reum’s nerves as romantic interest, Chan reads them as something closer to hostility, and Da-reum is left holding a decade of devotion to one man while something new quietly builds with the other. It’s a premise built for workplace-rom-com comfort viewing, with just enough of an idol-fandom hook to feel fresh.

📺 Episode Guide

Enough per episode to jog your memory, nothing more.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 1 — The Nosebleed Incident EP 01
The Nosebleed Incident
Aug 3, 2026
Nam Da-reum quits a stable job for one reason: getting closer to Lee Chan, the idol she’s stanned for a decade, by joining the company he co-founded. Her first day punishes that plan instantly, the man waiting for her isn’t Chan but CEO Kang Ha-gi, who already remembers her as the drunk stranger who gave him a nosebleed. To make it worse, she misses the one dinner where Chan actually shows up, leaving her the only employee without a photo with her own bias.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 2 — Employee of the Year EP 02
Employee of the Year
Aug 4, 2026
Da-reum finally gets her decade-long dream moment when Lee Chan greets her by name, and the validation sends her straight into overreach — landing a spot on the company’s overseas training trip means courting the one man she’d rather avoid asking for favors. Her sudden generosity toward Ha-gi only deepens his suspicion instead of winning him over, and a misread glance between her boss and her idol convinces her Chan is already taken, turning a fangirl scheme into unexpected heartbreak.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 3 — Twelve Years, Out Loud EP 03
Twelve Years, Out Loud
Aug 10, 2026
Da-reum finally says the thing she’s carried for a decade — a full confession of twelve years loving Lee Chan, landing as genuine comfort rather than the awkwardness she braced for. Ha-gi and Sung-wook start eyeing her like a corporate spy given her SE Trading past, even as Ha-gi’s coldness keeps cracking into concern whenever she’s in trouble. A fashion-show crisis pulls her deeper into his orbit, while Da-reum misreads his attentiveness as a crush on Chan — who has no idea his ex is sabotaging his messages to her.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 4 — An Afternoon With Her Bias EP 04
An Afternoon With Her Bias
Aug 11, 2026
Da-reum finally gets what a decade of fandom was building toward: an afternoon at Chan’s place, comfortable enough that the fan-idol wall between them starts to feel optional. He leans into it too, warm in a way that reads as more than politeness. The timing is brutal for Ha-gi, whose suspicion has just started curdling into something warmer of his own — right as the woman he’s noticing spends her evening falling harder for someone else.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 5 — Do You See Me As a Man? EP 05
Do You See Me As a Man?
Aug 17, 2026
A countryside business trip strips away Ha-gi’s excuses to keep his distance — an accidental hand-hold over kimchi, a chivalrous offer of his hands when her food turns out too spicy, small gestures that stop reading as nothing. Da-reum’s confusion shifts from Chan to whether she’s imagining things with her own boss. Sensing it from Seoul, Lee Chan drops everything to chase after her. By the time Ha-gi finally asks if she sees him as a man, the show stops hinting and starts asking directly.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 6 — The Diary He Kept EP 06
The Diary He Kept
Aug 18, 2026
The love triangle finally forces a choice: with both Ha-gi and Chan angling to drive her home, Da-reum picks Chan, and Ha-gi’s silent drive back alone says more than any dialogue could. Chan uses the ride to clear the air about Cho-yi — a breakup, not a betrayal — before admitting Da-reum means something different to him than any other fan ever has. The diary he pulls out isn’t a gotcha; it’s proof he already knows how long she’s loved him, and he hands it back gently instead of using it. They agree to take things slow.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 7 — Caught With the Posters EP 07
Caught With the Posters
Aug 24, 2026
The kiss leaves Da-reum rattled and Ha-gi infuriatingly composed — a mismatch that says more about him than any dialogue could. Lee Chan’s Los Angeles invitation pushes him to corner Ha-gi about why he keeps inserting himself into their relationship. At her apartment, Ha-gi finds the wall she’s spent years hiding: an entire shrine of D.N.X. and Lee Chan posters, the fan identity she never told him about. Da-reum admits who she’s actually been in love with, and a phone call at the very end knocks the wind out of her before she can say more.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 8 — Confronting Intentions EP 08
Confronting Intentions
Aug 25, 2026
The aftermath of the kiss and scandal leaves Da-reum in an emotional tangle, feeling awkward around Ha-gi even as Lee Chan’s LA invitation forces her to confront her shifting affections. The episode highlights her internal struggle between her long-held admiration for Chan and her growing connection with Ha-gi, a dynamic Chan himself escalates by directly questioning Ha-gi’s intentions. An unexpected phone call further complicates the love triangle, pushing Da-reum closer to a definitive choice.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 9 — A Retreat and a Rival EP 09
A Retreat and a Rival
Aug 31, 2026
They’re together now — quietly, carefully, still trading the same office. Episode nine is where a new relationship meets everything it hasn’t dealt with yet: an overseas company retreat that’s Da-reum’s one chance to be near Chan again, and a new creative director Chan has personally told to win Ha-gi over. Neither of them lies about it, exactly. They just learn how much a secret can hold before the people around it start pulling.

My Bias, My Boss Episode 10 — A Rival She Can't Name EP 10
A Rival She Can’t Name
Sep 1, 2026
Ha-gi’s first love doesn’t just reappear — she arrives as CEO of HAN, with a business reason to be in his office daily and a private one Lee Chan handed her: win him back. Episode ten traps Da-reum in the worst spot a secret relationship can build — watching a rival she has no standing to challenge, because no one knows there’s anything to defend. Then a discovery she wasn’t braced for lands, and the calm she’s faked all season cracks.

✍️ KDramaWorlds Editor’s Take

Our genuine take on whether it’s worth your time, and who it’s for.

💼 CEO Bias Alert 🎤 Decade-Long Fangirl 💔 Love Triangle Incoming 🏢 Workplace Rom-Com

My Bias, My Boss is banking on a premise that’s more self-aware than it sounds on paper — what actually happens when the fantasy of working near your idol collides with a real workplace, and a real, inconveniently attentive boss. It’s a spiritual cousin to the CEO-and-employee dynamic Business Proposal mined so well, except here the employee already has a decade of emotional loyalty pointed somewhere else before her boss even enters the picture.

My Bias, My Boss (2026) — cinematic still

Putting an idol character inside a rom-com love triangle instead of a straightforward showbiz satire like The Heavenly Idol is a different bet — the fandom angle here isn’t the joke, it’s the emotional stakes Da-reum has to actually weigh against something new.

Kim Hye-jun and Kang Hoon read as a promising pairing on paper — his ‘cold yet caring’ CEO archetype has room to be more than a stock type if the writing lets him earn the caring part instead of just stating it. Whether Cha Woo-min’s idol character gets to be a real romantic option or mostly a source of comic misunderstanding is the biggest open question heading into the premiere.

👍👍👍 BEST FOR 👍👍👍
💼 Fans of workplace rom-coms who want the CEO/employee dynamic with a fresh twist 🎤 Anyone who’s ever had a bias and wondered ‘what if I actually worked there’ 💔 Viewers who enjoy a slow-burn love triangle without deciding early who’s ‘right’

⚖️ Final Verdict
What works
A fangirl-protagonist premise that’s rarely been given a proper rom-com treatment instead of satire
Kim Hye-jun and Kang Hoon’s casting suggests solid chemistry potential
tvN’s workplace-rom-com pedigree (Business Proposal, Crash Course in Romance) is a good sign for tone

What to know first
Only one episode has aired — this is a first-impression read, not a full verdict
Love triangles live or die on whether both men feel like real options, not just plot devices
Webtoon adaptations vary widely in how much of the source’s comedic timing survives the screen

Premiere Pick— A confident, comedic premiere for anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when the fantasy of working near your bias meets an actual office org chart.
