Get ready for some exciting news straight from the world of Korean dramas! Fans of Kang Tae Oh and Lee Sun Bin are in for a treat as the dynamic duo teams up for a brand new drama set to hit screens in the first half of 2025.
It’s a collaboration that’s sure to set hearts racing and screens buzzing with anticipation. But what can viewers expect from this upcoming series? Let’s dive into the details!
Kang Tae Oh And Lee Sun Bin’s Drama To Hit Screens In Early 2025
In “Potato Research Institute,” a romantic comedy with a twist, Lee Sun Bin portrays Kim Mi Kyung, a quirky character whose life falls apart dramatically after she loses her work and her love. Seeking safety, she heads to her brother’s guesthouse where she discovers a job opening at the ‘Fairy Food Research Institute.’
One cold day, Kim finds a single potato seed on the frozen ground while working in the field. After realizing how much her life resembles a potato’s ability to bounce back, she becomes super interested in potatoes. This newfound love for them kicks off some really funny and heartwarming adventures for her.
It is anticipated that Kang Tae Oh will portray an unexpected change from his previous role as Lee Jun Ho in “Extraordinary Attorney Woo.”
Thus, the institute’s new director will be Baek Ho (Kang Tae Oh), who has no interest in potatoes. He has the kind of heavenly appearance, a sweet voice, and a killer smile that you could see on the cover of a romance book.
In contrast to his showy look, he is an outsider who can survive on his own, simple in many aspects, lacking any friends or personal life of his own, and a little vulgar.
Kim Mi Kyung starts off arguing a lot with So Baek Ho. Over time, they start to like each other and eventually start dating at work, even though she promised herself she wouldn’t do that again.
The final week of May 2024 is when the filming will begin. Chorokbaek Media and CJ ENM (Park’s Marriage Contract and Perfect Marriage Revenge) are the producers. tvN will premiere the 12-episode drama in the first half of 2025; each episode lasts one hour and thirty minutes.
