How far would you go to get close to your celebrity crush? According to Soompi, Kim Hye Jun's character in the new K-drama My Bias, My Boss is about to find out.
Kim Hye Jun plays Nam Da Reum, a woman so obsessed with her idol bias that she joins a company to be near him. Her boss, CEO Kang Hoon, quickly becomes a problem. So Da Reum's solution is to win him over, make him her favorite, get in his good graces. It's office politics meets fan desperation, and the internet is already watching closely.
The webtoon adaptation centers on a fantasy K-drama fans recognize: the meet-cute gone wrong. Da Reum didn't get hired on merit — she got hired for proximity to Lee Chan (Cha Woo Min), another employee. But when her boss catches on, she doesn't bail. She schemes harder. It's messy, it's relatable, and it's exactly the kind of workplace chaos that keeps audiences watching.
The premise captures something real about fan culture in 2026. Fans travel continents, spend fortunes, and sometimes make questionable career decisions for a glimpse of their bias. My Bias, My Boss doesn't mock that; it leans into it. By making the boss a romantic lead instead of just an obstacle, the show flips the script: Da Reum has to choose between two people, not chase one obsession.
Kim Hye Jun, still building her name in Korean TV, gets a role that lets her play comedy and cunning. A character scheming to charm a superior to access another crush is the kind of morally gray territory where K-dramas thrive. Viewers aren't supposed to endorse Da Reum's manipulation — they're supposed to recognize themselves in it.
Expect the internet to be absorbed by how this love triangle unfolds. K-drama fans watch for workplace romance with a twist, and this one has multiple layers.
