Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh have a sizzling first meeting in 'Potato Research Institute.'
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Potato Research Institute' (directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun, written by Kim Ho-soo, planned by CJ ENM Studios, produced by Chorokbaem Media) is set to air its first episode today (1st) and has hinted at a storm sweeping through the Potato Research Institute. One wonders what kind of storm has been brought by So Baek-ho (played by Kang Tae-oh), the 'grim reaper of capitalism,' threatening the peace of the Potato Research Institute.
'Potato Research Institute' depicts a healing comedy romance where Mi-gyeong (played by Lee Sun-bin), who considers potatoes the entirety of her life, encounters the frigid principled Baek-ho. Set against the backdrop of the Potato Research Institute, this hot romance between two individuals who are perfect opposites, who fry, roast, and boil, is expected to deliver delightful laughter and novel excitement.
Amid the tension filled with expectations and excitement for the first broadcast, a special gathering of the Potato Research Institute has been captured. At the welcome dinner for the newcomer Kwon Hee-dong (played by Nam Hyun-woo), the energetic Director Go Jung-hae (played by Kwak Ja-hyung) and Lee Chung-hyun (played by Yoon Jeong-seop), along with employee Kwon Hee-dong, are adding to the laughter. However, the atmosphere takes a sudden turn with a phone call. The shocked expression of Assistant Manager Kim Mi-gyeong, who stops to listen intently, hints at the crisis that has come to the Potato Research Institute amid an unusual absence from Director General Yoo Seung-mok.
The sharp gaze of So Baek-ho standing in front of the company organization chart marked with mysterious OX symbols is intriguing. So Baek-ho, a principled person who prioritizes efficiency, is expected to create a huge storm regarding the merger and acquisition of Sun-nyeo Foods as the Retail Organization Innovation Director. As the researchers at the Potato Research Institute prepare for a special outing, the question arises where they are headed with a determined look on their faces, having thrown off their work clothes. In a previous highlight video, So Baek-ho's remark, "What the research institute needs right now is not diligent staff but experts," has also been revealed, igniting curiosity about the storm he will bring to the Potato Research Institute.
The production team of 'Potato Research Institute' stated, "In the first episode airing today (1st), the crisis triggered by So Baek-ho at the Potato Research Institute will be depicted. Please look forward to the sizzling first meeting between Kim Mi-gyeong, who has bet her life on potatoes, and So Baek-ho," adding that "from the very first episode, laughter will come rushing in like a whirlwind of potatoes."
Meanwhile, the new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Potato Research Institute' will air its first episode today (1st) at 9:20 p.m.
