More about Potato Research Institute: Cast, crew, and plot
The Potato Research Institute (Center) is expected to mold the romance and comedy genres in a perfect way to present a unique love story that revolves around a research center situated in a mountain valley.
Kang Tae Oh, known for Extraordinary Attorney Woo, will transform into So Baek Ho in this drama. At a glance, his character appears to be someone from a romance novel. With fatal charm, a divine smile, and a euphonious voice, So Baek Ho can win over anyone. However, contrary to his charming appearance, he is someone who does well on his own and is not made for socializing.
On the other hand, actress Lee Sun Bin, known for the 2023 sitcom Boyhood, will take on the role of Kim Mi Kyung, an assistant manager at the potato research center. Most people in her neighborhood think of her as an easy-going, unemployed person. But in reality, she is a diligent researcher with 12 years of experience, working on a confidential project.
When So Baek Ho joins the organization as the new director, the veteran manager has issues adjusting to his new appointment. The two start with bickering all the time but gradually become well-acquainted, with romance knocking at their doors.
Viewers can anticipate a refreshing love story from the Potato Research Institute. This drama is being helmed by Kang Il Soo, who previously directed Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung (2019), Solomon’s Injury (2016), and more well-made K-dramas.
Joining him is screenwriter Kim Ho Soo, who marks her third collaboration with the director following the dramas mentioned above.
