Cinema VinesA brand‑new workplace romance‑comedy has just hit Prime Video India, bringing a fresh blend of K‑pop fandom and office antics to screens across the subcontinent. Titled My Bias, My Boss, the 12‑episode series is adapted from Seong Eun’s popular Naver webtoon My Oppa is an Idol and is produced by CJ ENM’s Studio Dragon. The show began streaming on August 3, and its premise revolves around a die‑hard idol fan who finds herself working under the very CEO she once embarrassed.
The story follows Nam Da Reum, played by Kim Hye Jun, a devoted fan of former K‑pop idol Lee Chan (Cha Woo Min). After years of following Chan’s career, Da Reum finally secures a job at Appello, the fashion brand the idol helped launch. She quits her previous corporate position, convinced she’s living a fan’s dream. Instead of reporting to Chan, she ends up under the supervision of Appello’s strict CEO, Kang Ha Gi (Kang Hoon), a man she had once embarrassed twice in public – once by smudging her makeup on his shirt, and again by hitting him with an ice cube in a drunken moment.
The series quickly turns into a comedy of misunderstandings. In the second episode, Da Reum attempts to impress Ha Gi in hopes of securing a spot on a company overseas trip where Chan will be present. Her clumsy efforts backfire, leading Ha Gi to suspect she’s a spy from a rival firm, while Chan realizes she’s an unwavering fan. The plot thrives on the escalating chaos, with each mishap providing new fodder for laughs.
Directed by Park Ji Hyun and Jeong Da Hyung, the show boasts a strong ensemble cast that includes Kang Hoon, Cha Woo Min, Gong Ji Ho, Kim Ah Young, Hwang Sung Bin, Shin Yu Na, and Heo Joon Seok. The series has received a three‑star rating from critics, who note that while it leans into the playful side of idol culture, it also offers a genuine look at the pressures and expectations of K‑pop stardom.
With its release on Prime Video India, My Bias, My Boss is set to attract both K‑pop enthusiasts and fans of light‑hearted workplace dramas. The show’s playful title—translated roughly as “My Favorite Employee”—captures its tone, promising a mix of romance, comedy, and the everyday challenges of office life.
