Actor Kang Tae-oh has emerged as the 'man of possession' that provokes everyone's desire to collect.
The Oct. 8 episode of the cable channel tvN weekend drama 'Potato Research Institute' (written by Kim Ho-soo, directed by Kang Il-soo and Shin Jae-hyun) featured Kang Tae-oh's character So Baek-ho actively engaging as a romantic lead.
So Baek-ho, confused by a drunken kiss, formally proposes a date to Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin). A kiss is something done with a partner, and he deduces the romantic formula that since they kissed, they should be in a relationship. However, So Baek-ho does not receive a positive response from Kim Mi-kyung, signaling ongoing conflict.
So Baek-ho's 'Chat GPTEO' side was also portrayed. To help Kim Mi-kyung prepare for a potato cooking contest, So Baek-ho utilizes his past part-time job experiences at hotels and parking lots, showing his ability to handle everything perfectly. So Baek-ho becomes a hero to the villagers by outperforming rival towns in the cooking contest.
In particular, Kang Tae-oh completed the character of the 'man of possession' that stimulates everyone's desire to collect, embodying both a sexy appearance that invites kisses and a cute demeanor due to lost sleep from the kiss.
Moreover, Kang Tae-oh drew attention by portraying a jack-of-all-trades from serving to parking management with shameless comedic acting. He also brought joy to the cooking contest scenes reminiscent of cooking cartoons, adding vitality to the drama.
