'The Potato Lab' stars Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh grow closer.
The tvN weekend drama 'The Potato Lab' (directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun, written by Kim Ho-soo, planned by CJ ENM Studios, produced by Chorokbaem Media) captured the changed atmosphere between Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin) and So Baek-ho (played by Kang Tae-oh) on the 16th, ahead of the 6th episode broadcast. The strangely changed appearances of the two, from a late-night potato field date to playful 'vol-cock' antics, evoke excitement. Additionally, the Potato Family members, who sensed the romantic atmosphere—Go Jong-hae (played by Kwak Ja-hyung), Joo Seung-hee (played by Woo Jeong-won), Lee Chung-hyun (played by Yoon Jeong-seop), and Jang Seul-ki (played by Kim Ji-ah)—also add to the intrigue.
In the 5th episode, the relationship between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho was reversed. So Baek-ho was caught up in a strange emotion, possibly feeling neglected or jealous, when he heard that Kim Mi-kyung discussed her concerns about the lab not with him but with Park Gi-se (played by Lee Hak-ju). As they exchanged apologies playfully, the two continued their unrecognized 'something' while each crowned the other as 'Gap-gu (the fool who thinks he’s important)', raising anticipation for future developments.
In today's aired 6th episode, a decisive turning point in the relationship between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho arrives. First, the unsettling atmosphere at The Potato Lab draws attention. Kim Mi-kyung carefully samples two types of potato chips under So Baek-ho's watchful eyes. Her expression, displaying astonishment, suggests a storm brewing at The Potato Lab. So Baek-ho declares his intention to change the potato varieties used for chip production. Surprised by So Baek-ho's sudden announcement, Kim Mi-kyung makes a bet to protect the pride of the 'Potato Maniac.'
A midnight potato field date between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho was also captured. Kim Mi-kyung embarks on a field trip with So Baek-ho to show him the new potato varieties she has been researching. With a headlamp attached, So Baek-ho crouches down, fully absorbed in the potatoes. His adorable reactions, especially after Kim Mi-kyung's playful 'vol-cock' antics, are heartwarming. The Potato Family members, with their suspicion being piqued—Seung-hee and Jang Seul-ki, alongside Go Jong-hae and Lee Chung-hyun with serious expressions as if they've discovered solid evidence—add to the intrigue.
Meanwhile, the 6th episode of 'The Potato Lab' broadcasts today (the 16th) at 9:20 p.m.
