4 Times We Fell In Love With The Boss In Episodes 7-8 Of “My Bias, My Boss”

The latest episodes of “My Bias, My Boss” gave us plenty of romantic tension, hilarious misunderstandings, and, most importantly, even more reasons to fall for Kang Ha Gi (Kang Hoon). From awkwardly flinching at the slightest touch after his accidental kiss with Nam Da Reum (Kim Hye Jun) to making hilariously unsuccessful attempts at flirting, Kang Ha Gi continues to prove that being a hopeless loser in love might just be his most lovable quality.

Here are four times we fell even harder for the boss in episodes 7 and 8 of “My Bias, My Boss.”

Warning: spoilers ahead!

Kang Ha Gi being a loser in love

If there was a list of characteristics that make a male lead the most endearing and lovable, being a loser in love would definitely be at the top. Nothing gives viewers cuteness aggression quite like seeing a grown man completely unable to handle the slightest touch from his love interest. Luckily, Kang Ha Gi has studied at the University of Ryu Sun Jae from “Lovely Runner” and graduated with top marks in loserism, making it impossible not to root for him after the latest episodes.

It’s especially cute when Da Reum realizes that their kiss had affected him just as much as it had affected her. She starts teasing him by deliberately bumping into him and making him flinch.

Previously, at the end of episode 6, Nam Da Reum and Kang Ha Gi shared a kiss, which was completely accidental. The pair sat on a bench after their walk together, and when they turned their heads to look at each other, their lips accidentally met.

Now, it’s not every day that you kiss your handsome boss, and it’s certainly not something you can easily forget when it happens to be your first-ever kiss. So, Nam Da Reum is understandably left rethinking the moment. But seeing Kang Ha Gi act completely nonchalant makes her feel like she was the only one affected by their kiss.

That is, until she bumps into him at a supermarket.

With the slightest touch of their hands, the grown man starts flinching and practically stumbling over his own feet. The best part is that the audience isn’t the only one who notices his loser behavior. Nam Da Reum catches on to his flinches too and knowingly bumps into him again and again, clearly enjoying the reactions she gets out of him.

Nam Da Reum can be herself around her boss

This week’s episodes once again emphasized the differences between the bias and the boss, while making it increasingly clear why Kang Ha Gi is THE man for Nam Da Reum.

First of all, let’s go back to that supermarket scene where Nam Da Reum is teasing her boss. The scene is cute and sweet on its own and shows just how naturally Nam Da Reum and Kang Ha Gi have started to get along. However, when you compare it to the scene where Lee Chan (Cha Woo Min) takes Nam Da Reum shopping, the difference between the bias and the boss becomes even more noticeable.

On one hand, there is Kang Ha Gi, Nam Da Reum’s boss, someone she should technically be hesitant to talk to. However, the two have been through situations that have brought them closer. She helped save the online fashion show with her viral marketing, he confessed to mistakenly believing she was a spy, and the two of them worked together to bring the Korean knot craft project to life.

He is someone she can tease openly, have dinner with, and introduce to her favorite dishes. He is someone she can watch stubbornly try to win a claw machine prize and smile uncontrollably at. Somewhere along the way, her relationship with her boss has become comfortable, natural, and genuinely enjoyable.

On the other hand, there is Lee Chan, who, on paper, should be the person Nam Da Reum is most excited to be around. And that is exactly how their relationship started. However, somewhere along the way, Lee Chan developed an infatuation with Nam Da Reum and started wanting to be with the girl who had liked him for over a decade. The problem is that Nam Da Reum is completely unable to see him as anything other than her bias.

On top of everything else, the biggest difference between the two love interests is how they treat Nam Da Reum.

Kang Ha Gi has been undeniably in love with Nam Da Reum for a few episodes now. However, when he realizes that the person she is interested in isn’t him, instead of getting angry or treating her badly, he tells her to do what she thinks is best for herself. He essentially encourages her to be with the person she can truly be herself around.

Then there’s Lee Chan. When he takes her on a date, he buys her clothes based entirely on his own preferences and starts planning what her life should look like without even considering what she wants. While his intentions might not necessarily be malicious, his behavior comes across as incredibly inconsiderate.

And that is what makes Kang Ha Gi stand out even more. He doesn’t just like Nam Da Reum. He actually sees her.

Kang Ha Gi is many things: a green forest, a great boss, and even a budding fashion icon. But the one thing he definitely isn’t is a master flirt. And that only makes him more charming.

In episode 7, when Kang Ha Gi arrives at Nam Da Reum’s house for their cat playdate, he is convinced that Nam Da Reum likes him and decides that it’s time to show her that he is interested in her too.

And how does he do that, you may ask?

He tells her that it’s his first time visiting a girl’s house. Cute! He also casually makes a comment implying that he misses Nam Da Reum, which completely goes over her head because, Kang Ha Gi, you have to be clear!

And after all of that, when he leaves her house, he turns around and asks, “She got it, right?” Oh, Kang Ha Gi. It is time to get Flirting for Dummies 101 because, with your current skills, there seems to be very little hope for you.

In the previous episodes, Nam Da Reum and Lee Chan go to a convenience store together after their date. What they don’t realize is that they have been photographed. And, of course, the audience knew those photos would come back at the worst possible time. And that time is now.

At the end of episode 7, photos of them on their date go viral. In response, Lee Chan’s agency releases a statement that ultimately results in Lee Chan’s fans turning against Nam Da Reum.

Let’s give credit where credit is due. Lee Chan does eventually do his part to help clear Nam Da Reum’s name. But even then, in his statement, he thanks his fans. And it’s sad to watch because it is clear that he isn’t actually grateful to the people attacking Nam Da Reum. His career is simply on the line, and he is put in an incredibly difficult position.

However, Kang Ha Gi’s company, APPELLO, is also at risk. And yet, Kang Ha Gi doesn’t think twice before stepping in front of Nam Da Reum, protecting her from the protestors and even threatening to sue them.

That moment perfectly captures how Kang Ha Gi is always willing to go above and beyond for Nam Da Reum, even when doing so could put his own career and company at risk. How can someone not fall in love with that?

Thankfully, the dating controversy surrounding Lee Chan and Nam Da Reum has finally been resolved, which means we can look forward to seeing Kang Ha Gi and Nam Da Reum’s relationship develop in the upcoming episodes!

5 C-Drama Male Leads Who Fell First And Hard

There is something undeniably irresistible about love at first sight romances. But it’s even more charming when the male lead falls first and hard. From lingering gazes and quiet devotion to unflinching loyalty, these men woo and protect the women they love, never wavering in their support and sometimes even sacrificing themselves for the ones they cherish.

Here are five recent C-dramas with male characters who raised the bar for romance on screen and had viewers rooting for them every step of the way.

“Amidst a Snowstorm of Love”

When Lin Yi Yang (Leo Wu) spots 21-year-old Yin Guo (Zhao Jin Mai) doodling on a frosted window at a bar in Finland, he is smitten. A reserved and aloof man, he helps Yin Guo and her brother, who are clearly new to the city. Yin Guo is a professional billiards player who has come to participate in a competition.

Unbeknownst to her, Yi Yang is a former snooker champion who has not only quit the sport but moved countries, pursuing a very different path. It has been 16 years since Yi Yang last played the sport nor does he watch any match.

But his encounter with Yin Guo changes the course of Yi Yang’s life. As he takes care of her during her stay, she is initially overwhelmed by the outpouring of attention and the unmistakable affection he showers on her. Sparks fly, and before long Yin Guo has fallen just as hard for Yi Yang.

Love does strange things to people. Her presence and positivity make him unlock the doors to a past he had been running from, retracing his steps back to both the sport he loves and the country he left behind.

“Amidst a Snowstorm of Love” is a mood board for romantics, with Leo Wu’s Yi Yang giving green flag vibes. At times he even comes across as a little too invested and intense, but much like Yin Guo, it’s in a way that you don’t really mind. The chemistry between him and Zhao Jin Mai is scorching, and despite the snowy landscape, the drama leaves you feeling tingly and warm.

“The First Frost”

Sang Yan (Bai Jing Ting) had been in love with his classmate, Wen Yi Fan (Zhang Ruo Nan), since high school. Back then, the two shared a mutual affection for each other, and just when a relationship seemed within reach, Yi Fan broke his heart and cut off all contact. The incident left him devastated, and even years later, he has been unable to move on or forget her.

Six years pass, and fate not only brings the two face to face but also makes them roommates in a shared apartment. Although Yi Fan appears aloof, the truth is that she carries immense guilt over what happened. Sang Yan, meanwhile, is determined to understand why she left despite feeling the pain of losing her. He soon discovers that Yi Fan has endured far more than he ever imagined. Haunted by the trauma of a past sexual assault, she continues to live with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Sang Yan becomes her fortress. He protects her, gives her the space she needs even if it means she walks away from him again, and never stops believing in her. Rather than trying to fix her, he quietly becomes her source of strength and comfort as she slowly heals.

“The First Frost” is a story about second chances and finding your person even when the world seems determined to shut you out. The slow-burn romance between Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan is both intensely emotional and deeply endearing.

“Shine on Me”

When they finally meet, Yu Sen arranges for Xi Guang to join his department. He initially remains aloof and distant, and there is an unspoken animosity between them. But the two gradually become friends, and their friendship soon blossoms into something deeper, with Yu Sen falling first.

Song Wei Long’s Yu Sen is a man who takes genuine pride in the woman he loves. He celebrates Xi Guang’s achievements and constantly encourages her to pursue her dreams. Their relationship is built on mutual trust, respect, and understanding.

“The Best Thing”

Shen Xi Fan (Xu Ruo Han) is an overworked hotel manager. Though highly competent at her job, the relentless stress, long hours, and inflexible schedule gradually take a toll on her health. Her emotionally distant wealthy boyfriend, whose family also looks down on both her and her profession, only adds to her exhaustion.

Seeking relief from insomnia and migraines, Xi Fan turns to traditional Chinese medicine doctor He Su Ye (Zhang Ling He). What begins as a routine doctor-patient relationship soon evolves into a friendship. However, in this case, the good-looking doctor takes a rather keen interest in the healing of his patient. Through Su Ye’s quiet warmth and unwavering support, Xi Fan begins to heal emotionally. Before long, their friendship blossoms into a tender romance as they realize they are exactly what the other has been searching for.

Unlike her former boyfriend, Su Ye encourages Xi Fan to pursue her dreams and never judges her dedication to her career. He is also someone who is steadfast in his beliefs, pursuing traditional medicine over western. And he exudes a sense of security and confidence.

“The Best Thing” is a warm, feel-good drama that embraces healing in every sense of the word. The romance unfolds through everyday moments of comfort and care. Zhang Ling He endears as the gentle and deeply romantic Su Ye, creating one of the most understanding and emotionally mature boyfriends to grace the small screen.

Gan Yang (Arthur Chen) has two passions in life: running and designing the perfect running shoe. Even while still in university, he is determined to revolutionize the sports shoe industry.

However, his disciplined existence goes for a toss when he meets Ding Zhi Tong (Zhuang Da Fei), a reserved senior who keeps everyone at arm’s length. Burdened by debt, she juggles multiple jobs while working toward one goal: securing a stable, well-paying career.

Gan Yang adorably, if somewhat awkwardly, tries to win her over by repeatedly asking her to go running with him, only to be rejected each time. Undeterred, he continues to support and care for her. As they spend more time together, Zhi Tong gradually lowers her guard and eventually returns his feelings.

When Zhi Tong relocates for a new job, Gan Yang makes every effort to support their relationship, frequently flying out to see her. But when his family business collapses, he shoulders the burden alone and ends their relationship, determined not to drag her into his struggles.

Six years later, Zhi Tong has become a successful investment manager and is assigned to negotiate a deal with a fast-rising sports shoe start-up, only to discover that its elusive CEO is none other than Gan Yang. Their reunion is anything but warm. Believing the deal could cost him control of his company, she is determined to see it through. Gan Yang, however, is willing to sacrifice both himself and his company if it means making amends for the pain he caused her.

“Eat Run Love” is a medley of love, heartbreak, revenge, and second chances. Even though there are moments one questions the decisions taken by the leads, it highlights the fact that love also means to face challenges together instead of shouldering burdens alone.
