A Sweet Fantasy That Knows Exactly What It Is
I waited for this to be fully released, then waited again before finally watching it and honestly it was worth the delay. It delivered exactly what I hoped for: something fun, light, and charming enough to reset my brain after heavier dramas.
One big motivation for me was Kevin from Omega X. With half the group already having acted, I was curious and a bit nervous to see how he’d do. I didn’t expect him to act, but he ended up doing a solid job and gave Ae Jun a believable mix of softness and sincerity. Given everything Omega X has been through and their lack of a group comeback, I’ll take any content they give us, and seeing Kevin shine made me genuinely happy.
The story itself uses an idol fan fantasy concept that we’ve seen in BLs many times. My Bias Is Showing?! doesn’t try to reinvent anything but instead embraces a simple plot and executes it cleanly. It’s fun, straightforward, light, and surprisingly balanced. The drama doesn’t collapse under its own tropes because it never tries too hard. And honestly, that worked.
My one gripe is something I will never understand about Korean BL pacing. Why do they always reveal the entire climax around episode seven when there are still a few episodes left? With a bit more breathing room, Siyeol and Gyu Seong’s confrontation could have been more emotional, and Ae Jun’s grief deserved a deeper, more gradual payoff. The story had space for more impact but chose to keep things fast and tidy.
Still, it stayed satisfying. The hints about the main conflict were repeated early, so I already had a feeling about where things were going, and surprisingly that didn’t ruin anything. It just made the reveal feel earned. Plus, the ending tied everything up without weird cliffhangers. If they want a season two, they left the door open. If not, the story still feels complete.
Now, the actors. Kangmin is a standout. He’s handsome, expressive, and knows how to switch between cute, emotional, and charismatic without looking forced. He’ll go far with the right scripts. Kevin held his own, which made their pairing easy to believe. And the proper kissing scene? Thank you. If you’re going to do it, do it right.
Their height difference also added a cute layer and the comedic scenes sprinkled throughout kept the drama bright. The cinematography was decent and the OST was good even if it didn’t hit as hard as classics from A Shoulder to Cry On or Jazz for Two. Still, having Omega X members in the soundtrack will always be a win for me.
Overall, My Bias Is Showing?! is a simple and effective KBL that’s perfect when you want something fun without emotional overload. It doesn’t demand much, but it gives enough charm, humor, and heart to keep you watching. I’d definitely rewatch it and I hope to see more projects from the actors. And maybe, just maybe, more Omega X members trying acting too.
