A turning point is coming to the relationship between Lee Sun-bin and Kang Tae-oh.

The production team of tvN‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Potato Research Institute’ (directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun, written by Kim Ho-soo) revealed Kim Mi-kyung’s (Lee Sun-bin) bulldozer-like advance to overturn the layoffs on the 9th, ahead of the broadcast of the 4th episode. Kim Mi-kyung‘s sweet confession is gone, and only tension flows, raising curiosity about the changes in So Baek-ho (Kang Tae-oh).

In the previous broadcast, So Baek-ho’s confession to Kim Mi-kyung was depicted. So Baek-ho seriously confessed, saying, ‘I will try to like you even after Kim Mi-kyung‘s fierce rejection. However, before the thrill of confession could even die down, the twist of notifying Kim Mi-kyung of her layoffs surprised everyone.



Meanwhile, the photo released by the production team shows Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho, who are on fire again. Kim Mi-kyung has become So Baek-ho’s number one target for layoffs. With her special affection for the Potato Research Institute, she challenges herself to overturn the layoff notice. Like a bulldozer who never gives up, Kim Mi-kyung runs to the director‘s office and convinces So Baek-ho with her sincerity about potatoes and a strategy(?). So Baek-ho’s unwavering iron wall, who is a cold-blooded man of principle who clearly distinguishes between public and private interests, is also interesting. It makes one wonder whether Kim Mi-kyung will be able to overturn So Baek-ho‘s decision.

Kim Mi-kyung’s impulsive behavior captured during a meeting is also exciting. Kim Mi-kyung‘s surprised face as she looks at her phone instead of concentrating on the meeting, wondering what happened, suggests that an ’emergency situation‘ has occurred. Her eyes are filled with madness as she snatches So Baek-ho’s phone and attempts to unlock it by recognizing his face. The faces of Chae Jae-jung (played by Yoo Seung-mok), Go Jeong-hae (played by Kwak Ja-hyung), Lee Chung-hyun (played by Yoon Jeong-seop), and Jang Seul-gi (played by Kim Ji-ah) who were surprised by Kim Mi-kyung‘s unexpected behavior during the meeting also arouse curiosity.




The production team said, “In episode 4, which will air on the 9th, an unexpected turning point will come to the relationship between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho. Kim Mi-kyung, who received notice of dismissal, said, “Please look forward to how the crisis will be resolved.”

Episode 4 of “Potato Research Institute” will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 9th.
