♥Lee Kwang-soo closes his eyes… Lee Sun-bin, Kang Tae-oh and super tight couple [pictorial]

Magazine Singles revealed a couple pictorial of Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh. The two of them brightly smile at the camera with their faces together, creating excitement.

‘Potato Research Institute’, starring Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh, is a healing comic romance that depicts the cold-hearted, principled ‘Baek-ho’ (Kang Tae-oh) appearing in front of ‘Mi-kyung’ (Lee Sun-bin), who lives her life as potatoes, and swirling around like a whirlwind of potatoes.

Lee Sun-bin will play the role of ‘Mi-kyung’, the research team leader at the Potato Research Institute, and will fully display all the acting skills she has built up so far. He expressed his expectations, saying, “This drama is a piece that depicts events that take place in an unusual place called the ‘Potato Research Institute’, so I think I‘ll be able to show the acting that I’m good at and that (people) like, in a different way. I think it‘s the best genre where I can show both romance and comedy.”

Lee Sun-bin, who described the character ’Mi-kyung‘ as “a lovable person who you can’t hate,” said, “There‘s no one in our drama that I hate. Including Baek-ho. Mi-kyung is the central character in it. Although she’s not that old in the research institute, she‘s trustworthy, passionate, and realistic. He also expressed his affection for the character, saying, “His empathy is also excellent, so his F-type personality will come out 200%.”

Kang Tae-oh, who finished his first couple pictorial since his debut, said, “At the beginning of the shoot, I was nervous and a little awkward, but I thought that if I was with Sun-bin, ideas would come to me naturally like when I was filming a drama, so I trusted Sun-bin and did it.”

Kang Tae-oh, who played the role of the cold-hearted and principled “Baek-ho,” foreshadowed a cool yet warm charm. He introduced him by saying, “Baek-ho may seem cold and rational on the outside, but I think he’s a warm-hearted person. No matter what others say.”

He revealed that his acting chemistry with the actors in this drama was very good, saying, “The action isn’t a drama, but there were a lot of scenes where I used my body. In the cooking scene at the beginning of the drama, I expressed exaggerated gestures in a fantastical way, and I felt that the chemistry between the actors was really good in that scene. He confessed, “Thanks to sufficient rehearsal and perfect chemistry.”

Kang Tae-oh said that his affection for “Potato” grew thanks to the drama. He said, “I would have just passed it by in the past, but I feel happy just seeing the word potato. Not long ago, there was a corner selling potatoes at the airport, and I was so happy that I took a picture. My co-star, actress Kim Ji-ah, made a potato-shaped keychain and gave it to me as a gift.” He shared the episode with a laugh.

When asked about the point of interest in “Potato Research Institute,” Kang Tae-oh said, “There are various characters including the research institute family and farmers, so I hope you feel the charm of these characters with distinct personalities. They are characters you can’t hate. He also emphasized, “It will be fun to watch how Baekho and Mikyung seep into each other and change through the process.”

tvN’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Potato Research Institute’ is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, March 1st at 9:20 PM. The interview and pictorial containing Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh’s various charms can be found in the March issue of Singles and on the website.
