TVN Sets August Premiere for “My Bias, My Boss,” a Webtoon Romance Built Around a Love Triangle

TVN’s upcoming romantic series “My Bias, My Boss” has set its premiere for August 3 at 8:50 p.m. KST, with the network unveiling a first look at the drama’s script reading featuring its lead cast. The production, adapted from a webtoon, centers on a workplace romance complicated by a fandom-fueled obsession and an escalating love triangle.

According to coverage of the session, the table read brought together the drama’s directors Park Ji Hyun and Jung Da Hyeong, along with writers Lee Young and Kim Ji An, plus the main cast: Kang Hoon, Kim Hye Joon, Cha Woo Min, and ITZY’s Yuna. From the outset, performers reportedly leaned into their roles with quick chemistry—pairing serious performance work with frequent laughter, as the production team coordinated character dynamics line-by-line.

A Webtoon Romance With Workplace Tension at Its Core

“My Bias, My Boss” follows Nam Da Reum (played by Kim Hye Joon), a rookie employee who joins a company partly to get close to her long-time idol—only to discover she’s drawn into unexpected romantic proximity with the company’s boss. The story also features Kang Ha Gi, portrayed by Kang Hoon, a character described as highly capable at work but uncertain in matters of the heart.

In the script reading preview, Kang Hoon’s depiction of Kang Ha Gi is framed as a blend of professional sharpness and awkward sincerity—an acting approach intended to underline the character’s charisma at work and vulnerability in personal interactions. By contrast, Kim Hye Joon’s Nam Da Reum is characterized as energetic and spirited, giving the central romance its forward momentum as the character tries to navigate office life while chasing a deeply personal connection.

Idol Charm and a Second Voice in the Love Triangle

The drama’s romantic friction intensifies with Lee Chan, a character played by Cha Woo Min. Lee Chan is introduced as Nam Da Reum’s favorite idol, but the table read preview suggests the romance does not remain one-sided. As Nam Da Reum and CEO Kang Ha Gi clash—bickering and squaring off—Lee Chan becomes increasingly entangled in the emotional tug-of-war, creating “romantic tension” that appears to shift as the story progresses.

Cha Woo Min’s performance is highlighted in particular for leaning into a natural “idol charm,” with the character’s presence described as heart-racing from the moment he joins the story’s interpersonal web. That framing matters for the series’ identity: the title’s premise implies romance driven not only by chemistry, but also by the way celebrity culture and personal fandom expectations collide with adult relationships.

Yuna Joins as a Naturally Beautiful Actress With Dual Edges

Adding another layer to the central dynamic is Yoon Choi, played by Yuna. The character is described as “naturally beautiful” and is portrayed as having distinct sides—shifting between a shy smile and a more piercing gaze. In the script reading coverage, that duality is treated as an essential tool for building suspense around the love triangle, indicating that Yuna’s role may not function solely as a romantic foil, but rather as an unpredictable variable in the story’s emotional balance.

In other words, the romance at the heart of “My Bias, My Boss” appears designed to do more than swap feelings between characters. The production preview suggests the triangle’s tension is meant to evolve, potentially turning office rivalry, idol fantasy, and personal ambition into competing sources of attraction and conflict.

On Set, the Fictional Idol Group Comes Alive

Beyond character dynamics, the script reading preview also emphasized the production’s world-building—particularly the inclusion of a fictional idol group called D.N.X. During the session, cast members reportedly cheered when lines and scenes involving the group were performed, creating what was described as a concert-like atmosphere at the table read. The production also discussed “memorable lines” and newly coined expressions, signaling that the drama intends to build a distinct tone—likely aiming to capture both the comedic energy of early romance setups and the heightened emotional beats that fandom narratives typically carry.

While the table read itself is not a substitute for viewing the finished series, the presence of laughter and collective reactions can be read as a production indicator: the cast appears aligned on comedic timing and character voice, both of which are often critical for workplace romances that rely on banter as much as confession.

What Comes Next for “My Bias, My Boss”

With August 3 set as the premiere date, the immediate next step for TVN and the production team will likely be momentum-building through additional promotional content—such as teaser trailers, casting spotlights, and behind-the-scenes clips that show how the D.N.X elements will integrate with the romance plot. Viewers can also expect further character breakdowns that clarify how Nam Da Reum’s fandom-driven motivations evolve after she becomes personally entangled with both her idol and her boss.

As the show approaches air time, the biggest question for early audiences will be whether “My Bias, My Boss” leans more heavily into office comedy, idol fantasy, or melodramatic romance. The script reading preview suggests it intends to balance all three—using workplace friction to set the stakes, idol charm to intensify longing, and Yuna’s dual-edged portrayal to keep the triangle from feeling predictable.
