Kang Tae Oh (Extraordinary Attorney Woo) and Lee Sun Bin (Boyhood) are set to be the potential leads of the upcoming tvN romance drama “Potato Research Institute.”
The drama will tell a quirky romantic comedy that will narrate the story of a young couple, in a potato research institute which is situated in a valley of mountains.
Kim Mi Kyung is a lady with 12 years of experience in the Potato Research Institute who looks unemployed, but is highly intelligent and skillful in her work. She carries out a secret project to create good potatoes under her own name. Although, Kim Mi Kyung has vowed to never be in a relationship, but things change upon the arrival of Baek Ho, the new director of the Potato Research Institute.
So Baek Ho is a person with a killer smile, a soft voice, and heavenly images that make him look like the cover hero of any romance novel. He is also an outsider who hardly has any friends or a social life. Initially, him and Kim Mi Kyung clashed often, but eventually, she grew fond of him, and they end up falling in love and starts their in-office relationship.
If confirmed, Kang Tae Oh will assume the role of So Baek Ho, while Lee Sun Bin will take on the role of Kim Mi Kyung.
“Potato Research Institute” is looking to air in 2025.
