Kim Hye-jun, Kang Hun, and Cha Woo-min to star in 'My Bias, My Boss'

tvN has begun its full-scale campaign to capture viewers by releasing a teaser for its highly anticipated summer Monday-Tuesday drama, 'My Bias, My Boss.' As the series is based on a popular webtoon that amassed 660 million cumulative global views, attention is focused on whether it can become a new hit in the romantic office drama genre, fueled by the high expectations of the original fans.

Scheduled to premiere on August 3, 'My Bias, My Boss' is based on the popular Naver webtoon 'My Brother is an Idol.' The office growth drama follows the workplace life and youth romance of new employee Nam Da-reum (Kim Hye-jun), who joins a company to meet her favorite idol, only to encounter unexpected personal growth and love.

The recently released teaser captures the subtle emotional tension between the three leads, piquing the curiosity of prospective viewers.

In the 'Da-reum X Ha-gi' teaser, Kang Ha-gi (Kang Hun), the CEO of the fashion platform Apel, finds his heart increasingly shaken by the new employee, Nam Da-reum, as they form an unexpected connection. While Ha-gi initially misinterprets Da-reum's presence as intentional, he cannot hide his growing feelings for her. His monologue at the end of the video, "This is driving me crazy," suggests the cold-hearted CEO is losing his composure, adding intrigue to their developing romance.

A separate 'Da-reum X Chan' teaser highlights the emotional shift of the other male lead, Lee Chan (Cha Woo-min). Encountering Da-reum alone in an elevator, Chan closes the distance and tells her, "When we are alone, you can comfortably call me 'Oppa.'" His transition from a mere idol to someone interested in Da-reum as an individual heightens the tension of the burgeoning love triangle.

The teaser heightens anticipation by previewing the different charms of the two men and the emotional romance they will share with Da-reum at the center.

Viewers are particularly eager to see the dynamics between the stoic CEO Kang Ha-gi, the sweet and charming Lee Chan, and Nam Da-reum as she navigates the space between her dreams and reality.

While staying true to the original webtoon's world, the drama aims to differentiate itself from typical office dramas by blending a realistic professional growth narrative with romance.

The series is co-directed by Park Ji-hyun and Jeong Da-hyeong, with a script written by E-Young and Kim Jian, aiming to capture both the fluttering excitement of the original webtoon and a grounded, realistic sensibility.

Following the teaser release, excitement for the series has spread rapidly online.

Netizens expressed high interest, commenting, "A romance with my bias? The premise alone is heart-fluttering," "I loved the webtoon, and it's finally becoming a drama," "I'm looking forward to seeing Kim Hye-jun and Kang Hun together," "The love triangle with Cha Woo-min makes it even more interesting," and "I can't wait for the premiere."

The original webtoon, 'My Brother is an Idol,' is a massive IP with 660 million cumulative global views and a dedicated fanbase, driving high expectations for the drama's success. Given the recent string of successful webtoon-to-drama adaptations, all eyes are on whether 'My Bias, My Boss' can translate this massive popularity into a hit series.

Meanwhile, 'My Bias, My Boss' is set to succeed the current tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'See You at Work Tomorrow!' As the predecessor maintains a stable viewership rating of around 4%, industry experts are watching to see if 'My Bias, My Boss' can take the baton and continue tvN's summer success streak. The premiere is scheduled for August 3 at 8:45 PM.
