3 Reasons To Get Excited For Tonight’s Premiere Of “My Bias, My Boss”

tvN’s highly-anticipated drama “My Bias, My Boss” kicks off tonight!

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “My Bias, My Boss” tells the story of the romance between Nam Da Reum (Kim Hye Jun), who joins a company to meet her longtime idol bias Lee Chan (Cha Woo Min), and the company’s CEO Kang Ha Gi (Kang Hoon).

With the drama’s first episode airing tonight, here are three reasons to look forward to the new series:

1. An exciting love triangle with two dashing male leads

In the drama, Nam Da Reum is a passionate fan of Lee Chan, a member of the idol group D.N.X. Hoping to become a “successful fan” by achieving her dream of working together with her ultimate bias, Nam Da Reum gets a job at Apello, a fashion startup co-founded by Lee Chan and Kang Ha Gi. However, before she even gets to meet Lee Chan in person, she winds up becoming entangled with Kang Ha Gi as her work life gets off to a rocky start.

Eventually, Nam Da Reum will find herself at the center of an enviable love triangle, with Kang Ha Gi and Lee Chan becoming romantic rivals. Both Kang Ha Gi, who is a consummate professional at work but clumsy when it comes to romance, and Lee Chan, who has always received lots of love from his fans but has never gotten to experience true romantic love, wind up falling for Nam Da Reum before they even realize it. As each of the two men attempts to win Nam Da Reum’s heart in his own way, viewers will have a tough time deciding which male lead to root for.

2. Kang Hoon, Kim Hye Jun, and Cha Woo Min’s first romantic comedy

Although Kang Hoon, Kim Hye Jun, and Cha Woo Min have proven their acting chops in other projects, “My Bias, My Boss” marks the first romantic comedy of all three leads’ careers, piquing curiosity as to how they will tackle this new genre.

The trio will also be joined by a strong supporting cast of scene-stealers, including ITZY’s Yuna, former OH MY GIRL member Gong Jiho, and Kim Ah Young.

3. An engaging story of personal growth

“My Bias, My Boss” will follow superfan Nam Da Reum’s journey of growth as she matures into a true adult. Having found her motivation in life through her bias Lee Chan, Nam Da Reum turns down a coveted job at a major corporation in order to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion marketer.

Instead of focusing on the standards of others, Nam Da Reum follows her own heart and bravely takes on new challenges, and her courage will provide warm comfort and encouragement to young viewers navigating modern reality.

6 Fashion Tips Inspired By K-Pop Stars To Stay Cool This Summer

It seems like summer just keeps getting hotter and hotter! If you’re looking to survive the heat while still looking cool, these K-pop idols have you covered. With their style tips, you can at least look the part—even if you’re still feeling a little bit sweaty!

BTS’s j-hope

It seems like hats have become more of a statement accessory than anything, but they still serve their original purpose—keeping the sun off of your face! Rock a cowboy hat à la BTS’s j-hope for maximum sun protection or something simpler like a baseball cap for more of an understated look. You’d be surprised how much of a difference a hat can make on a hot day!

aespa’s Karina

On a truly sweltering day, even a T-shirt can feel too hot. In that case, utilize this tip from aespa’s Karina—all you have to do is trim an old shirt with some scissors at the neckline and the bottom hem. This creates a looser, more breathable shape that feels a little less suffocating when it’s hot out. The bonus? It also gives a worn-out T-shirt new life and a new look!

IVE’s An Yu Jin

The main function of athletic wear is to stay comfortable and light during exercise, so it totally makes sense on a hot summer day, too! IVE’s An Yu Jin shows just how cute a tennis-inspired outfit can be both on and off of the court. The moisture-wicking fabric of athletic wear will help you feel less sweaty, and a skirt is a great choice for a light summertime outfit!

LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chae Won

When you’re out in the sun all day, it might seem counterintuitive to wear more clothing rather than less. However, choosing a lightweight white fabric is often the smarter decision—LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chae Won has got it right! White reflects the sunlight, making you feel cooler in the long run. Plus, it’s always a good idea to protect your skin from a sunburn!

ITZY’s Ryujin

If you feel like your outfit calls for a little more than a tank top, ITZY’s Ryujin has the perfect alternative! A crochet top like this one maintains that loose, breathable feeling and adds a touch of whimsy without being heavy or hot. It’s also the perfect transition piece if you’re going between scorching heat and frigid air conditioning all day long!

TWICE’s Jihyo

While it might not be strictly a fashion tip, it’s worth mentioning hairstyles here! TWICE’s Jihyo shows off the perfect messy bun with this look—casual, cool, and ideal for those days when it’s so hot you’re tempted to shave your head. An updo that looks good through heat and humidity, this style is also pretty easy to recreate with an elastic and a couple of pins!

Which K-pop idol has your favorite summer style?
