My Bias, My Boss (최애의 사원)

MY BIAS, MY BOSS

There's quite a competition to launch their brand with us.

There are over 30 brands

that have sent us samples just this week.

Many of these are dupes of what I saw at the last Paris Fashion Week.

It had many innovative designs

so it looks like domestic brands were heavily influenced.

If all they can do is copy

they can't work with Appello.

I'll look into just this brand.

All right. Ms. Seo, please help out with that.

I'll join you right away after figuring out the display.

Yes, I'll get the models ready for the fitting.

- Okay, tell me when they're ready. - Yes, sir.

This is just like you.

They aren't generic

and they carry their own identity.

That's how Appello started.

I was just collecting the clothes I wanted to wear

which turned into a tiny curated boutique.

And now, it's a platform that carries hundreds of brands.

The pressure is different now.

Which you're carrying very well.

I'm in charge of the direction.

And if that direction is too skewed, everyone who's following will fall.

Gosh, I know

that this is the time to be more inclusive.

Yes, sir.

Yes, Mr. Kang. I'll do as you say and pick up more mainstream designs.

EPISODE 2

Okay.

That bracelet on the man's hand.

- Take note of it. - Yes.

Please get a tie that's as bright as this one.

Right. Yes, sir.

Great work, everyone.

- Yes. - Goodbye.

Text me the pictures we took today.

- Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Lee. - Okay.

D.N.X! D.N.X! We love you, D.N.X!

You dropped this.

Right. Thank you.

Getting in?

What?

Oh, I am.

Don't be so nervous, Da-reum.

Try to act as naturally as possible.

NAM DA-REUM

- You must be one of the new hires. - Sorry?

Yes.

Why weren't you there at the welcome dinner?

I got a bit drunk last night

and went home early.

I see.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Da-reum.

How do you know my name?

I look forward to working with you.

I'll do my best.

See you around.

Yes, Mr. Lee.

Goodbye.

My gosh.

My gosh!

I shook hands with Chan!

My gosh!

Great job on not getting too nervous.

Good one, Da-reum.

Goodbye.

WOLHWA SILVER WORKSHOP

Hey, what have you been doing here for days?

Are you looking for a career change?

Should I do that?

D.N.X has disbanded

and not many would remember Lee Chan.

Hey.

I'm pretty good, aren't I?

You might as well open a jewelry studio.

Hey, clean up everything before I come back.

Okay?

Okay?

- Hello. - Hello.

By any chance, how much is this?

This is a DIY jewelry studio, so we do not sell any items.

This was one of our customers' designs.

This is the exact shape that my all-time favorite celebrity

always draws when he signs autographs.

Today's my birthday

so I want to buy it for myself as a gift.

Can I please buy it?

I'm sorry.

But why don't you try making it yourself?

I don't think I can make it look exactly the same.

It's not as difficult as you think.

It's okay.

I understand. Thank you.

- Sure. - Goodbye.

Okay. Goodbye.

WOLHWA SILVER WORKSHOP

It was you from back then.

- Great work today. - Goodbye!

We've all done so well today! See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow! Bye!

It looks like something great must've happened to Da-reum.

Right? Our team has been swamped with work lately.

Min-a, if it's okay with you

why don't we grab a glass of beer?

Gosh, beer?

No.

No?

You must be one of the new hires.

SUNGJU STATION

It's nice to meet you, Da-reum.

It was so great to meet you.

See you around.

See you!

Chan, let us meet again!

See you, Da-reum!

Bye!

Are you that happy?

Yes.

Someone might think you just won the lottery.

It's her ultimate fan moment.

Fans who lived outside Seoul can't go to music show recordings.

And at concerts, they look this small so you can't even see their faces.

You've made it, Namda.

So? Would you like to smell my hand?

Jeez.

- No! - Me too!

No, it's going to wear off. I can't lose it!

Today is the first time I've seen Chan in person.

I'll always celebrate this day.

You've always insisted Chan gave you that necklace.

Do you finally admit that you were overly hopeful?

But no one else could have possibly made this.

Excuse me.

Happy birthday.

He definitely sounded like him too.

You're just misremembering as a hopeful fan.

You think so?

Well, anyway.

I finally met him in person. My gosh!

I'm not dreaming, am I?

It hurts!

- It's not. - It hurts.

APPELLO

This time, the overseas training for outstanding employees

will be held at the New York Fashion Week.

New York?

It sounds perfect.

You'll get to see a lot

and also have a mountain of work.

Overseas training for outstanding employees?

It's a tradition of sorts that Director Lee has made

since the foundation of Appello.

Once a year, we pick out an outstanding employee

to do a project abroad.

Someone will be chosen early next year.

Thank you. Come here, Min-a.

Does that mean

Director Lee will go on the trip too?

Of course.

He has never missed it once.

Who picks out the outstanding employee?

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang?

AVOID MR. KANG

WORK HARD!

EMPLOYEE OVERSEAS TRAINING! GET ON MR. KANG'S GOOD SIDE!

Well...

Is it okay for my goal to change so drastically?

No, Da-reum.

You can do this.

First of all

I must figure out what Mr. Kang is like.

Ms. Kim, this is for you.

Ms. Kim.

So what does Mr. Kang like?

Why are you asking about him?

I wasn't exactly on my best behavior since day one

so I wanted to improve my reputation

and do my best at work.

Is that so?

Mr. Kang...

He only uses the brown capsules for the coffee machine.

The brown ones?

Chocolate latte.

He has a sweet tooth, unlike how he seems.

Mr. Kang.

Would you like a cup of sweet chocolate latte?

I made it just now.

No, I only drink one cup a day because of my blood glucose level.

I've already had it, so enjoy it for yourself.

Okay.

GUIDE TO WINNING CEO KANG HA-GI CROSS OUT CHOCOLATE LATTE

I think he spends time on the rooftop right after eating lunch.

He likes to spend at least 20 minutes a day in the sun.

Oh, my. I didn't know you came here too.

Great view, isn't it?
