At the heart of the drama is Kim Mi Kyung, played by Lee Sun Bin, a fiercely determined and talented researcher who has dedicated her life to revolutionizing agricultural science. Passionate about her work, she focuses entirely on scientific advancements, particularly in potato cultivation, and has little patience for anything, or anyone, that gets in the way of her vision. Her life at the research institute is a steady cycle of experiments, data collection, and scientific breakthroughs, all of which she carefully guards.

However, her world is shaken when So Baek Ho, played by Kang Tae Oh, a pragmatic and profit-driven corporate director, arrives to oversee the operations of the institute. Tasked with maximizing efficiency and ensuring commercial success, Baek Ho has a completely different approach to work; one that stands in direct opposition to Mi Kyung’s idealistic pursuit of scientific discovery. Their contrasting philosophies quickly turn them into rivals, with heated debates and power struggles becoming a daily occurrence.

As they challenge and push each other beyond their comfort zones, what initially seemed like an irreconcilable workplace rivalry begins to evolve into something more.

Spanning a total of 12 episodes, The Potato Lab promises a rollercoaster of emotions, from heartfelt moments to laugh-out-loud encounters, all set against the unique backdrop of a potato research institute. The series not only explores themes of ambition and determination but also dives into the importance of personal growth and embracing change, even when it comes in unexpected forms.

With anticipation at an all-time high, viewers are left wondering how Mi Kyung and Baek Ho’s relationship will unfold. Will they continue their fiery rivalry, or will their growing feelings lead them down an entirely different path? Fans will have to keep watching to find out.
