Kim Hye-jun Makes a Lovable Superfan Turn in tvN's 'My Bias, My Boss' Premiere

Kim Hye-jun made an eye-catching debut as a lovable superfan in the premiere of tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 〈My Bias, My Boss〉.

In the premiere that aired on the 3rd, Kim Hye-jun starred as rookie employee Nam Da-reum, showing the character's buoyant charm. The episode followed Nam's first day at work after she joined Apello determined to work alongside her idol — she had set her sights on getting into the company where her idol serves as fashion director. Having left SE Mulsan, the country's top fashion firm, and been hired by Apello, Nam could not hide her excitement at the thought of working alongside her idol Lee Chan (Cha Woo-min). Her delight at spotting traces of him throughout the office drew warm smiles from viewers.

But the joy was short-lived. Nam's office life quickly proved rocky as she became embroiled in a turbulent entanglement with CEO Kang Ha-gi (Kang Hoon). It began when she left a makeup mark on Kang Ha-gi's shirt after an accidental encounter at SE Mulsan before joining, then escalated to a commotion at a neighborhood bar and a mishap in which, intoxicated at a company dinner, she made an unauthorized entry into the CEO's office — a string of unintended incidents that heightened anticipation among viewers.

Kim Hye-jun drew big laughs by playfully portraying her character's intense fandom for her idol alongside a workplace life that refuses to go according to plan. The performance drew praise, with some saying she perfectly represented the feelings of devoted fans.

Kim Hye-jun continues that lively performance in tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 〈My Bias, My Boss〉, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:45 p.m.
