You searched My Bias, My Boss on Netflix and got nothing. That is not a mistake and it is not a regional glitch — this one isn’t a Netflix show at all. Here is where it actually streams, who’s in it, and what the schedule looks like while it’s still airing.
- Streaming on Rakuten Viki in select regions — not Netflix
- 12 episodes, airing on tvN since 3 August 2026 — currently ongoing
- Mondays and Tuesdays at 20:50 KST, two episodes a week
- Korean title: 최애의 사원 (roughly “My Bias’s Employee”)
Where to watch My Bias, My Boss
| Platform | Availability | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rakuten Viki | Select regions | The reliable international option |
| tvN | Korea only | Original broadcaster, Mon–Tue 20:50 KST |
| Netflix | Not available | Don’t wait for it to appear |
This is the single most common point of confusion around the show, so it’s worth being blunt: tvN dramas do not automatically land on Netflix. Licensing goes title by title, and this one went to Viki. If you have been refreshing your Netflix search, stop and go to Viki instead.
Viki coverage does vary by country. If it isn’t showing in your region, that’s a licensing gap rather than the show being pulled.

What it’s about
Nam Da-reum has spent years as a devoted fan of Lee Chan, an idol turned actor. So when she lands a job at Appello — a fashion platform company connected to him — it reads like the universe finally cooperating.
It does not cooperate.
Her dream workplace turns out to be run by Kang Ha-gi, a CEO with no visible warmth, and one small complication: she already met him. While extremely drunk. And she assaulted him. He remembers.
So the setup is a fan-meets-idol fantasy that immediately curdles into a workplace comedy about being trapped in a room with the worst possible witness to your worst possible night. The “bias” of the title is the idol; the “boss” is the problem.
What “bias” means in the title
If you’re coming to this from outside K-pop fandom, the title reads strangely. “Bias” is fandom shorthand for your favourite member of a group — the one you follow, defend and buy things for. It carries no negative sense; it’s closer to “the one who’s mine.”
The Korean title, 최애의 사원, uses 최애 (choe-ae), which means the same thing: your absolute favourite. So the title is roughly “my bias’s employee” — Da-reum works at a company tied to the person she adores. The English title’s pun only works if you know the word, which is why the show is often mislabelled in listings as a straight office romance.
The cast
| Actor | Role | Who they are |
|---|---|---|
| Kim Hye-jun | Nam Da-reum | New employee at Appello, long-time fan of Lee Chan |
| Kang Hoon | Kang Ha-gi | The strict CEO — and the man she drunkenly hit |
| Cha Woo-min | Lee Chan | Idol turned actor. The bias in question |
| Yuna | — | Supporting cast |
| Chun Woo-jin | — | Supporting cast |
Kim Hye-jun is the reason to give this a chance, and it’s worth knowing why.
- Kim Hye-jun built her reputation on cold, calculating characters — Queen Consort Cho in Kingdom, the title role in Disney+’s Connect, and turns in Inspector Koo and A Shop for Killers. Casting her as an unfiltered fangirl is a genuine swing against type, and the main reason this rises above its logline
- Kang Hoon won Best New Actor at the MBC Drama Awards for The Red Sleeve, and has since appeared in Little Women and A Time Called You. He gets the harder job here — turning a CEO introduced as a punchline into someone worth rooting for
- Cha Woo-min plays the idol-turned-actor, which means carrying the fantasy the whole premise rests on without becoming a prop
Episode schedule
- 12 episodes planned
- Premiered 3 August 2026 on tvN
- Mondays and Tuesdays, 20:50 KST — two new episodes per week
- Viki subtitles typically follow the Korean broadcast rather than dropping simultaneously
Because it is still airing, you are choosing between watching weekly and waiting for the full run. Twelve episodes at two a week means roughly a six-week season.
Why tvN dramas often aren’t on Netflix
This trips people up constantly, so it’s worth understanding once rather than re-learning it every time.
- Korean broadcasters sell rights title by title. tvN, SBS, KBS and JTBC each negotiate per drama — there is no blanket “all tvN shows go to Netflix” arrangement
- Netflix originals are the exception, not the rule. When Netflix funds a series it appears everywhere. When it merely licenses one, coverage is patchy
- Viki, Disney+, Prime Video and Kocowa all compete for these titles. A show’s international home can differ from the season before it
- Same broadcaster, same year, different platform — that is normal, not an error
Practical rule: check the broadcaster first, then look for that broadcaster’s current international partner. For this one, tvN went to Viki.
Episode-by-episode schedule
Two episodes per week on a Monday–Tuesday slot. If the pattern holds from the 3 August premiere, the run maps out like this:
| Week | Episodes | Dates (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1–2 | 3–4 August |
| 2 | 3–4 | 10–11 August |
| 3 | 5–6 | 17–18 August |
| 4 | 7–8 | 24–25 August |
| 5 | 9–10 | 31 August – 1 September |
| 6 | 11–12 | 7–8 September (finale) |
Treat the later dates as projected. Korean networks do shift slots for sports, elections and holidays, and Viki subtitle timing lags the broadcast rather than matching it. The premiere date and the 12-episode count are confirmed; the week-by-week mapping is arithmetic.
Is it worth starting mid-run?
A few honest notes on what you’re getting.
- It’s an office rom-com, not a satire of fandom. If you came hoping for a sharp take on idol culture, the show is warmer and lighter than that
- The premise is front-loaded. The drunken-assault misunderstanding is the engine of the early episodes — whether you find that funny will decide a lot
- Two male leads means a triangle. The idol and the CEO are set up in opposition from the start
- Low commitment. Twelve episodes on a Monday–Tuesday slot is one of the lighter K-drama schedules going
Bottom line
My Bias, My Boss is a straightforward tvN office rom-com with a better cast than the logline suggests, and the practical thing to know is the platform: Rakuten Viki, not Netflix.
It’s still airing, twelve episodes, two a week from 3 August. If you’d rather binge, the full run should be complete by mid-September.

FAQ
Is My Bias, My Boss on Netflix?
No. It streams on Rakuten Viki in select regions. tvN dramas are licensed individually and this one did not go to Netflix, so searching there will keep returning nothing.
How many episodes does it have?
Twelve, airing two per week on tvN on Mondays and Tuesdays at 20:50 KST. It premiered on 3 August 2026 and is still ongoing at the time of writing.
Who plays the CEO?
Kang Hoon plays Kang Ha-gi, the strict CEO of Appello. Kim Hye-jun plays Nam Da-reum, the new employee, and Cha Woo-min plays Lee Chan, the idol-turned-actor she has been a fan of for years.
What is the Korean title?
최애의 사원, which translates roughly as “My Bias’s Employee.” You’ll see it listed under that title, and occasionally as “Favorite Employee,” on Korean drama databases.
Is there a love triangle?
The setup places the idol Lee Chan and the CEO Kang Ha-gi in opposition around Nam Da-reum from the first episodes, so yes — the structure is built for one. Since the series is still airing, how it resolves is not yet known.
Should I wait for all episodes?
If you dislike weekly waits, yes — twelve episodes at two per week from 3 August puts the finale around mid-September 2026. Watching weekly is fine otherwise, since each episode moves the workplace plot along.
