Kang Tae-oh captured the touching meeting between Lee Sun-bin and Lee Hak-joo.

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 a crisis in the romance between Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin) and So Baek-ho (played by Kang Tae-oh) ahead of the broadcast of episode 9 on the 29th. So Baek-ho’s cold face looking at Kim Mi-kyung and Park Ki-se (played by Lee Hak-joo) increases curiosity about the direction of the romance.


In the last episode, Kim Mi-kyung found out Yoon Hee-jin‘s (played by Jung Shin-hye) true identity. She remembered Yoon Hee-jin’s name from the wedding invitation that Park Ki-se gave her 6 years ago. Kim Mi-kyung, who confirmed each other‘s feelings, and Park Ki-se, who appeared in front of So Baek-ho, and Yoon Hee-jin’s face-to-face meeting foreshadow a fierce storm that is coming to their romance.

Meanwhile, the photos released by the production team capture the ominous atmosphere between Kim Mi-kyung and Park Ki-se. Kim Mi-kyung, who is always ready to fight when it comes to Park Ki-se. However, for some reason, the way they look at each other is endearing. Kim Mi-kyung is looking at Park Ki-se with worried eyes, not pushing away Park Ki-se‘s hand.


So Baek-ho’s cold face as he witnesses Park Ki-se burying his face in Kim Mi-kyung‘s shoulder and shedding tears heightens the sense of crisis. I wonder what kind of variables the intricately intertwined pasts of the three people will bring to the romance between Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho.

The production team said, “In episode 9 that airs today, something happens to Kim Mi-kyung that reminds her of a wound from 6 years ago.” They added, “Please watch to see why Park Ki-se shed tears in front of Kim Mi-kyung and what kind of crisis will come to Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-ho along with Park Ki-se’s change.”

Episode 9 of ‘Potato Research Institute’ will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 29th.
