tvN’s upcoming weekend drama The Potato Lab guarantees a vibrant mix of humor and romance, set in opposition to the quirky backdrop of a potato analysis lab.
Premiering on Saturday, March 1st at 9:20 PM, The Potato Lab stars Lee Solar Bin as Kim Mi-kyung, a lovable potato fanatic, and Kang Tae Oh as So Baek-ho, a rule-abiding, no-nonsense innovator.
The drama follows the lifetime of Kim Mi-kyung, who has devoted herself wholeheartedly to learning potatoes, solely to have her rigorously structured world upended by the surprising arrival of So Baek-ho. This “principled perfectionist” brings each stress and pleasure to Mi-kyung’s life, sparking a whirlwind of comical and heartwarming moments.
Newly launched posters and a teaser video supply a glimpse into the pleasant chaos of their story. One poster exhibits So Baek-ho, trying misplaced in a lab stuffed with potatoes, holding a tuber with an air of puzzlement. In the meantime, Mi-kyung’s curious expression hints at her rising intrigue. One other poster showcases the pair sitting back-to-back, subtly conscious of one another, hinting on the budding chemistry that may unfold as they bond over boiling, frying, and baking potatoes of their scenic valley lab.
The teaser additional units the stage for his or her quirky romance. Mi-kyung, engrossed in her analysis, hears a commotion and opens the door to seek out So Baek-ho—and her beloved potatoes—rolling into her life. His awkward appeal, contrasted together with her flushed cheeks, is paired with the tagline, “A comic book romance brisker than new potatoes,” constructing anticipation for the collection.
Lee Solar-bin’s Kim Mi-kyung exudes heat and dedication, her life thrown into pleasant disarray by Kang Tae-oh’s So Baek-ho, a seemingly composed however emotionally indifferent skilled. Their clashing personalities—Mi-kyung’s bulldozer-like enthusiasm and Baek-ho’s unyielding rules—set the stage for a dynamic relationship that guarantees laughter, progress, and surprising love.
Directed by Kang Il-soo and written by Kim Ho-soo, identified for works like Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung and Solomon’s Perjury, The Potato Lab is shaping as much as be a heartwarming story of transformation, love, and, in fact, potatoes.
