"Favorite Employee" is a story about Nam Da-reum, who joins a company led by Lee Chan, an idol-turned-CEO, and meeting the president Kang Ha-gi there. Based on the webtoon "My Brother Is An Idol", it is a romance comedy genre.

Kang Hoon plays Kang Ha-gi in the drama. He has strong looks that make him seem cold and firm, but he is a person who successfully launched a startup company with a warm heart than anyone else. Kim Hye-jun plays Nam Da-reum, who accidentally joins the company of an idol she was once a fan of.
