The series is based on the webtoon My Oppa is an Idol. The story follows Dareum Nam, played by Hye-jun Kim, who unexpectedly lands a job at a startup led by Chan Lee, a former idol. There, she encounters the company's CEO, Ha-gi Kang, portrayed by Hoon Kang. A cool-headed and successful entrepreneur, Ha-gi hides a warm personality beneath his sharp exterior. Meanwhile, Dareum finds herself working for the very company founded by the idol she used to stan.
Yuna previously confirmed a supporting role in another series, Undercover Miss Hong, where she plays the younger sister of Shin-hye Park's character.
My Favorite Employee is scheduled to air in the second half of next year.
Sung-eun serialized the webtoon between 2017 and 2020. An English version is not currently available.
