My Bias, My Boss (최애의 사원) wrapped up its 12-episode run on tvN on September 8, 2026, and fans are still talking about how it stuck the landing. Based on the webtoon My Oppa Is an Idol, the workplace rom-com followed Nam Da-reum (Kim Hye-joon), a fangirl who joins a company hoping to be near her idol bias Lee-chan (Cha Woo-min), only to end up as the favorite employee of her strict CEO, Kang Ha-gi (Kang Hoon). Here’s
exactly how the finale resolves the love triangle, the corporate espionage subplot, and the fate of Lee-chan’s disbanded idol group DNX. Spoilers ahead.
Does Da-reum go to Paris?
In the back half of the season, Da-reum is offered a career opportunity in Paris. Ha-gi initially struggles with the idea of her leaving and privately worries about what the distance will do to their relationship, but he realizes holding her back out of fear isn’t fair to her. He encourages her to take it. Da-reum accepts the assignment and spends several months in Paris while staying in a long-distance relationship with Ha-gi. It becomes an important step in her arc too: by the end, she’s built a career and identity of her own, rather than just being known as ‘Lee-chan’s longtime fan.’
Do Da-reum and Ha-gi end up together?
Yes. After Da-reum completes her Paris assignment, she returns to Korea and reunites with Ha-gi, proving her career ambitions didn’t have to come at the expense of the relationship. The finale completes Ha-gi’s arc too: instead of holding onto her out of fear of losing her, he learns to trust her and support her ambitions. He proposes, she accepts, and the two share a kiss. The finale doesn’t show a wedding, but the engagement gives the couple a clear, satisfying happy ending rather than another ambiguous reunion.
What happens to Lee-chan and DNX?
Lee-chan spends much of the back half of the show grappling with watching Da-reum’s feelings shift fully to Ha-gi. Once he accepts that she’s chosen his CEO, he redirects his focus to the thing that’s always been core to his identity: music. With Da-reum’s encouragement, he works to bring his disbanded idol group DNX back together. The finale pays this off with a full reunion concert after nine years apart, and Da-reum attends as an enthusiastic fan, in a nice full-circle moment: Lee-chan finds his way back to the stage, and Da-reum finds her own happy ending, both because they gave each other the courage to move forward.
What happens with the corporate espionage subplot?
The finale also resolves the show’s corporate thriller thread. Choi Sung-wook, an executive Ha-gi trusted completely, is revealed to have been secretly leaking Appello’s corporate secrets to rival company SE, a betrayal that shakes Ha-gi right before the finale. In the end, Sung-wook apologizes and admits he regrets acting as a spy. Crucially, it’s also revealed he never actually handed over Appello’s completed final proposal to SE. That last act of conscience is what allows Appello to recover and secure its collaboration with HAN, even though it doesn’t erase the betrayal itself.
Will there be a My Bias, My Boss season 2?
As of this writing, there’s no official confirmation of a second season. The finale wraps every major thread, Da-reum and Ha-gi’s engagement, DNX’s reunion, and Sung-wook’s redemption, cleanly enough that the show reads as a complete, self-contained story rather than one built for a sequel. My Bias, My Boss is based on the webtoon My Oppa Is an Idol and aired its full 12-episode run on tvN from August 3 to September 8, 2026.
My Bias, My Boss joins a long line of K-dramas that turn idol fandom into genuine workplace romance, and its ending gives every major character a resolution instead of leaving threads dangling for a sequel that may never come.
