Actor Kang Tae-oh is capturing attention with his transformation into the male lead of ‘Soft Peach’.

Kang Tae-oh took on the role of So Baek-ho, who shows off his straightforward romance, in the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Potato Research Institute’ (directed by Kang Il-soo and Shim Jae-hyun, written by Kim Ho-soo, planned by CJ ENM Studios, produced by Green Baem Media) that aired on the 22nd.

On this day, So Baek-ho confessed to Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin) his past of growing up in an orphanage, which made him a stickler for principles. So Baek-ho confessed his uncontrollable emotions, saying, “I lose my composure because I like Kim Mi-kyung.”.



So Baek-ho, who confirmed that Kim Mi-kyung felt the same way as him, immediately disarmed himself and showed off his straightforward romance with an affectionate and sweet side. In particular, So Baek-ho surprised Kim Mi-kyung with a teddy bear when she was upset, and then raised the excitement index to the max by kissing her forehead.

In this way, Kang Tae-oh transformed into a ‘soft peach’ who controls So Baek-ho‘s heart, and emerged as a classic ‘roco male lead’. As he portrays the 180-degree change in So Baek-ho, a cool-headed man of principle, attention is focused on the full-fledged straightforward romance ahead.

Meanwhile, ‘Potato Research Institute’ starring Kang Tae-oh airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM on tvN.
