My Bias Is Showing?! #1
최애가 나타났다?! 1
When high school teacher Na Aejoon shows up for work on an ordinary day, he never expects to bump into his favorite celebrity in the hallway. But when his school becomes a filming location for a show starring Choi Siyeol, his bias from the idol group A-One, that's exactly what happens! If that's not enough to give a fanboy a heart attack, Siyeol takes an interest in Aejoon and asks him to join the show as his "co-teacher." Desperate to keep his fan life a secret, Aejoon is forced to put his acting skills to the test, and not just on camera. But as he spends more and more time with Siyeol, the deception becomes harder to keep up. Not to mention, he might not be the only one keeping secrets…

i honestly don’t know how i feel about this manhwa yet. love the art style & surprisingly finding the central misunderstanding to be more entertaining than annoying but i’m not super on board with their relationship yet
but! it’s cute & silly enough that i’m invested enough to stick around for the next volume

This was 5 stars until I got to the twist, which I still haven't made up my mind about.
The art is lovely. Very engaging, super attractive characters, great dynamic paneling. It's funny without being over-the-top ridiculous. The reveal that Aejoon's relative is an idol in the same group as his bias, Siyeol, made his obsession more grounded somehow.
Yeah, he's still obsessive, but in a fairly normal sort of way. He likes Siyeol a lot, and he probably knows about him mostly by following his relative's career path, since they're pretty close. So he doesn't really have unrealistic expectations for Siyeol, or any idea that he might ever get to know him or be anything special to him. While he asks his relative for a signature (which he keeps being denied), all he really wants is to meet Siyeol one time, get a photo with him, and maybe see him sing live. That's it.
He does have dirty dreams about Siyeol, but he's human and he feels kind of bad about it, and it's not real, anyway.
Then Siyeol shows up at the school where Aejoon works, and it turns out that not only is he filming a variety show there, he chose Aejoon to be his teacher coworker...
And he keeps trying to spend time with Aejoon and saying incredibly weird things to him...
I was under the impression that Siyeol had met Aejoon at some point in the past, without Aejoon realizing it was him, and had formed an interest in him at that stage. Or maybe he knew that Aejoon was his Kyusung's relative, and was being playful with him because Aejoon was trying to be so secretive about it.
It's...a little bit of both? But also neither.
Siyeol had run into Aejoon, and Aejoon had smacked him with his bag and run away because he'd thought Siyeol was trying to kidnap his cute little nephew. But from there, it all gets kind of unhinged.
It turns out Kyusung had been dating their fifth group member, who'd quit and had eventually broken up with him. When that guy meets up with Siyeol, he tells him he'd thought Kyusung might've already started seeing someone else. (This is implied later to just be Kyusung making cutesy faces at his little nephew (?) over the phone.)
I didn't quite understand Siyeol's reaction at this point...he says something, blushingly, about how it "might be his chance" if they've really broken up now. I couldn't tell at first which of them he had a crush on, but since he sets out to try to ruin Kyusung's "new relationship," I guess maybe he'd liked the other guy? But isn't bothering to y'know, tell him. Or ask him out.
Instead, he engages in this elaborate plan to seduce the guy Kyusung had been cheating with, then rub it in Kyusung's face so he feels as hurt as his ex had been at their breakup.
Siyeol sees Aejoon on Kyusung's video call, then makes the connection with the guy who'd smacked him in the face, and goes hunting in the bag he'd left behind. That's how he finds out that the "other man" is a teacher who happens to work at the school of the variety show he'd been steadily declining.
So of course it's a perfect opportunity to get to know him and ruin his life.
Even before the reveal, it was pretty obvious that Siyeol was faking his extreme interest, but I really hadn't expected it to go into straight up manipulative territory. Plus, the first time they have sex, Aejoon is very drunk and doesn't remember most of the night - other than just assuming it'd been one of his regular horny dreams.
I don't love scenes like that, but it actually kind of works in the context of this story. And while Siyeol was definitely still in his seduce-and-discard mission, he had no idea Aejoon was that unaware of what he was doing. (He figures Aejoon was just playing it cool afterward about now being the cheater.)
The whole thing's a big mess. Especially because Siyeol, after a lot of effort, manages to actually get Aejoon to sleep with him when he's fully aware of what's going on, and they presumably start up a relationship from there. With Aejoon having no idea about all his hidden motivations.
I shouldn't like it...but it's actually weirdly interesting? Siyeol is kind of a disaster, and there's a part of him that thinks he's just getting revenge on a trash person...while under the assumption that Aejoon is the kind of guy who wouldn't take any of this too seriously. He's not really trying to hurt him, just Kyusung, or at least that's the impression so far.
I am interested to see what happens once he starts really getting to know Aejoon and falling for him, and realizing that he royally destroyed the entire beginning of their relationship. Will the redemption arc be worth the mess? I don't know. But for now, I think I want to keep going.

idk if it's cheating to say i read this since the physical version is not published yet but i read it online.
i saw this was a bl drama before i knew it was a webtoon/manga. however i havent started watching it yet.
anyways the miscommunication trope makes me crazy. i dont like it. maybe just because of like my own views irl, i think communication is so important even if its something small. and yes i know it's fiction it's for entertainment. but man.
siyeol over reacts easily, and like ofc he cared about his friend/group member (cause its not a band but idk what else to call them?) - but the way he goes about it is wild. like he was only interested in aejoon at first for something he misconstrued and made up in his head so he could get revenge.
and they first time they have sex aejoon was really drunk and doesnt even remember right away what happened.- like yes there is consent later on in it, but why does so much bl/manga have dubious consent. or characters are drunk? i really need to find more that is less so of that.
they were both a little over the top. but aejoon was funny cause all the merch and posters he had in his room. and shows how people can be irl if you get a chance to meet someone you idolize.
anyways ill probably reread this later on once its published idk if there will be any differences. so if i remember ill update this review later

Como me caes mal Siyeol. A lo largo de esta linda historia pude volver a los 18 cuando me obsesionaban los mangas en especial el yaoi, sin dudar diré que he disfrutado sentir lo que es enojarse con un dibujo, devorar paginas y admirar cada trazo. Hermosa historia con un grandioso dibujo y colores.

Me encontré con la serie que le hicieron y por eso me dió curiosidad y quise leerla antes de empezar la serie. No esperé que ya la tuviera hace mucho en mi lista. Es una historia rápida de leer y el dibujo es muy lindo. Me gustó ❤️

This skews a bit on the mean side for me, plus its central problem could be resolved with one (1) conversation between the leads. Not sure what to make of it.

Yeaaaa…. Give me more lol

Love this manwha! Love the TV show. It's all so cute. I mean the big big misunderstanding is a little nerve-wracking but it's so good. I would totally recommend reading this and watching the show!

⭐️⭐️⭐️,75/5
Para ser la primera temporada estuvo muy entrenida y la dinámica de Profesor x Idol me pareció increíble, aunque siento que la parte central de la historia que es sobre el malentendido que se trae con Aejun( Profesor ) ya que Siyeol ( Idol ) piensa que este sale con su compañero de grupo( qué obviamente es mentira ) pero él cree que si, la cuestion es que se ve a leguas que se va a alargar un poco y la falta de comunicación será ALTA y que obvio faltara aqui 🥲 lo que si me da un poco de pena es que Aejun se está enamorando de Siyeon y cuando se entere de todo este plan la caída será dura y ESPERO QUE SE ARRASTRE POR SU PERDÓN ESO SI JAJAJAJA 🥱😈

Los lugares donde una termina por estar deprimida eh, como que senti que me perdi de algo o que no me manejaron bien el pedo

muy cute… para leer y entretenerse un rato!! bajo la puntuación por la forma en la que se prolongó el malentendido sin tener nada de sentido ~ pero en general lindo
