The Potato Lab's Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh have reached an exciting turning point.
tvN's Saturday-Sunday 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) provides delightful fun through the romance of Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin) and Seo Baek-ho (played by Kang Tae-oh), who bake, fry, and boil.
The chemistry between Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh, which heightened the thrill of the 'some & ramyeon' between 'bulldozer' Kim Mi-kyung and 'principle adherent' Seo Baek-ho, received enthusiastic responses. In the last broadcast, Kim Mi-kyung and Seo Baek-ho, who had been growling at each other upon meeting, became aware of their feelings for each other. As Seo Baek-ho’s direct confession marked a new phase, the ending scene served as a decisive turning point in their relationship.

Kim Mi-kyung and Seo Baek-ho's first meeting was hotter than a cooked potato. The merger and acquisition of Wonhan Retail and Seonnyeo Food, from which he was chased away, was a total disaster, but Seo Baek-ho, who rolled into The Potato Lab for an investigation, was indeed the capitalist's grim reaper, the 'child of resentment.' Kim Mi-kyung, who cannot tolerate the slightest dismissal of 'potatoes,' was at odds with Seo Baek-ho, who nitpicked at every opportunity. Kim Mi-kyung, embarking on a mission to defend the lab, made things difficult for Seo Baek-ho by enforcing a curfew to block the path to The Potato Lab and forcibly mobilizing for aphid control.
However, an unexpected change came to the relationship between Kim Mi-kyung and Seo Baek-ho. Kim Mi-kyung, reminded of her favorite romance novel 'sexy director' by her romantically obsessed best friend Lee Yong-joo (played by Kim Ga-eun) who predicted, 'You're definitely going to have a crush,' unconsciously pulled on Seo Baek-ho's collar and kissed him. This ending signaled the start of a romance between the polar opposites that seemed impossible, leaving viewers breathless.

After the drunken kiss, Seo Baek-ho's reaction was beyond imagination. He formally confessed to Kim Mi-kyung, asking her to officially date him. Kim Mi-kyung was taken aback by Seo Baek-ho's unexpected confession. Seo Baek-ho’s 'stainless confession,' stating that since they kissed, they should become lovers, made Kim Mi-kyung laugh.
Despite Kim Mi-kyung's strong rejection of Seo Baek-ho's absurd principles, which seemed to lack both romance and sincerity, he shook her heart with his words, 'I will try to make Kim Mi-kyung like me.' The changes brought by Seo Baek-ho to Kim Mi-kyung were not over. Before the excitement of his confession could even fade, he had selected Kim Mi-kyung for a layoff. The sudden dismissal notice that froze both Kim Mi-kyung and Seo Baek-ho was a moment that fueled the 'some & ramyeon' romance.

Seo Baek-ho felt that although he had been restructuring as usual and followed his principles, he was different from before. He found himself increasingly concerned about Kim Mi-kyung, who was struggling, and realized that his heart sank upon seeing the message in which Kim Mi-kyung blamed him. A decisive moment arrived that awakened their hearts as they exchanged apologies amidst bickering, continuing their 'some' unknown to themselves.
Seo Baek-ho was once again swept up in unfamiliar emotions, possibly a sense of loss or jealousy, upon realizing that Kim Mi-kyung discussed her concerns about the lab with Park Gi-se (played by Lee Hak-joo) instead of him. Meanwhile, Kim Mi-kyung’s peculiar jealousy was triggered by the warm atmosphere between Seo Baek-ho and Yoon Hee-jin (played by Jeong Sin-hye), who had appeared at the guest house. In the midst of this, Park Gi-se visited Kim Mi-kyung’s guest house. The reunion ending between 'ex-lover' Kim Mi-kyung and Park Gi-se, whom she did not wish to see again, hinted at romance variables and heightened curiosity.

Seo Baek-ho felt strange being shaken by Kim Mi-kyung to the point of forgetting important business agreements. He began to distance himself from Kim Mi-kyung, feeling unfamiliar with the changes he had never imagined. Kim Mi-kyung, who had no idea why, found it difficult to cope with him pulling away again after she thought they had grown closer.
At the moment when she was about to conclude that she had misunderstood, Kim Mi-kyung discovered a deer pee flower pot, which she had mentioned liking, by the window of Seo Baek-ho's lodging and her heart fluttered. She questioned what kind of person she was as Seo Baek-ho approached without principles and then suddenly distanced himself again. Seo Baek-ho's answer surprised Kim Mi-kyung once more. The direct confession of Seo Baek-ho, saying he is 'a person who wants to cross the line,' brought her heart rate to its peak, marking a decisive turning point.
tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'The Potato Lab' episode 7 will air on the 22nd (Saturday) at 9:20 p.m.
