The Potato Lab's Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh's relationship faces an unexpected variable named Jeong Sin-hye.
On the 15th, ahead of the fifth episode of the tvN weekend drama The Potato Lab (directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun, written by Kim Ho-soo), the team revealed a 'person of interest' who brings a change of winds to the guest house. Expectations rise as Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin) activates her jealousy mode towards So Baek-ho (Kang Tae-oh).
In the previous fourth episode, So Baek-ho did not retract the dismissal notice according to the principle, despite Kim Mi-kyung's pleas. However, seeing Kim Mi-kyung struggling, So Baek-ho felt uncomfortable in a corner of his heart, unlike before. Kim Mi-kyung was also confused by So Baek-ho's unpredictable actions that led to a sudden confession and the dismissal notice. The intense eye contact between the two, amid complicated emotions, amplified curiosity about future developments.
Meanwhile, Kim Mi-kyung's jealousy moments captured clear expectations for the changes that lie ahead. First, Kim Mi-kyung, hiding in military uniforms, explores So Baek-ho's house, while Yi Ong-joo (played by Kim Ga-eun) is in an intriguing stakeout position. In the earlier preview video for the fifth episode, a guest, Yoon Hee-jin (played by Jeong Sin-hye), who visits So Baek-ho's guest house, has been revealed, raising further curiosity about the suspicious behavior of those in alert mode.
A welcoming party for Yoon Hee-jin's entrance to the guest house was also captured. The sociable Yoon Hee-jin hosted a party and invited everyone. Kim Mi-kyung gazes sharply, seemingly filled with suspicion and jealousy as she observes So Baek-ho's kindness toward Yoon Hee-jin, who is treated very differently than herself. Yi Ong-joo also looks displeased at Kim Hwan-gyeong (played by Shin Hyun-seung), who somehow gets along well with Yoon Hee-jin. It brings uncertainty about what changes Yoon Hee-jin's arrival will bring to Kim Mi-kyung, So Baek-ho, Yi Ong-joo, and Kim Hwan-gyeong.
The production team of The Potato Lab stated, "In today's (15th) broadcast of the fifth episode, 'person of interest' Yoon Hee-jin will visit the guest house family members Kim Mi-kyung, So Baek-ho, Yi Ong-joo, and Kim Hwan-gyeong, causing a major upheaval in their relationships. Yoon Hee-jin's appearance will ignite the romance between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho, as well as the emotions of Yi Ong-joo and Kim Hwan-gyeong."
