Here’s a crisp plot recap for My Bias, My Boss:
Setup
- Nam Da-reum has been an idol superfan of Lee Chan (member of the group D.N.X.) for over a decade. Despite job offers from bigger companies, she chooses to work at the startup fashion platform Appello, where Lee Chan serves as a director.
- Appello is co-founded by Lee Chan and CEO Kang Ha-gi—a no-nonsense workaholic who aims for professionalism above all else. From afar, he seems cold, but below the surface is more nuanced.
Inciting Incident
- On her first day, Nam Da-reum realizes that her lifelong idol—not just an idol musician, but now also a director—is right there at her workplace. That alone is surprising; more so is how her interactions with Ha-gi unsettle both her fan-girl dream and her carefully constructed professional boundaries.
Main Conflict: Love Triangle & Inner Struggles
- Nam Da-reum begins to develop feelings for Kang Ha-gi as they spend more time together. He starts to show his guarded warmth, awkward in love but genuine in intent.
- Meanwhile, Lee Chan—her idol—learns of her fandom and initiates his own close-ups and tender moments with her, complicating emotions. Ha-gi’s envy and Chan’s history both color the relationship triangle.
Personal Challenges
- Alongside the romantic entanglements, each of the three faces emotional baggage. Lee Chan battles with loneliness despite his public image. Nam Da-reum must navigate the tension between turning her passion into career and keeping professional decorum. Ha-gi sees his composed leadership tested by his growing personal feelings.
Questions the Series Raises
- Will Nam Da-reum choose the reliability and emotional awakening offered by Kang Ha-gi, or succumb to the long-desired, idealized love from Lee Chan?
- Can she balance her fandom and her professionalism without losing herself—or her job?
- How will Ha-gi’s personal growth affect his CEO role? And how honest will Chan be with his vulnerabilities?
