tvN’s upcoming weekend drama The Potato Lab has released a playful and eye-catching new poster, teasing the unpredictable romance between Kang Tae Oh and Lee Sun Bin.
Set in a rural potato research institute, The Potato Lab is a fresh and quirky rom-com that follows the fiery clash—and unexpected chemistry—between two completely opposite personalities.
Lee Sun Bin stars as Kim Mi Kyeong, a passionate researcher whose life revolves entirely around potatoes. She’s bold, carefree, and fiercely dedicated to her work. However, her world takes a surprising turn when she encounters So Baek Ho (Kang Tae Oh), a no-nonsense corporate director who thrives on strict rules and precision.
Kang Tae Oh plays So Baek Ho, the Director of Organizational Reform at Wonhan Retail. A firm believer in efficiency and order, his life is thrown into chaos when he steps into Mi Kyeong’s research lab—an environment where logic has little place, and emotions run high.
The newly released poster captures their amusing yet fiery dynamic. Mi Kyeong is seen boldly tugging at Baek Ho’s hair, a mischievous glint in her eyes, while Baek Ho looks on with a mix of curiosity and resignation. His lack of resistance hints at an inevitable transformation—the once-cold businessman slowly warming up in Mi Kyeong’s unpredictable world.
The tagline, “Is this fighting or flirting?” perfectly encapsulates the drama’s core tension, promising viewers a love story filled with playful banter, hilarious misunderstandings, and undeniable chemistry.
The Potato Lab is set to premiere on March 1 at 9:20 p.m. KST. With its unique setting, charismatic leads, and sizzling romantic tension, this drama is bound to be a must-watch for rom-com lovers.
Will Kim Mi Kyeong and So Baek Ho find love amid research papers and potato fields? Or will their differences keep them at odds? Tune in to find out!
