Korean romcoms have helped win me over to the genre, but unfortunately this one was just not my thing. Kang Tae Oh is a very talented actor, but we only got a small taste of that in Potato Lab, because the focus seemed to be on his looks, the story was shallow, and his character development weak. I look forward to seeing him in something else soon. There were many side characters played by actors/actresses who are my favorites, but the overacting and ridiculous scenarios got to me. It was just too goofy and too over-the-top, with plot holes thrown in. I hope to see Lee Sun Bin in another role, too, because I just could't stand Mi Kyeong, the constant tantrums, her antagonizing of Baek Ho, forcing others into doing what she wants, overreacting (lying down on the floor in the big company entry to avoid her ex?), and giving her brother and her best friend so much crap over being together. I'm not sure what the ML saw in her at all. It's hard for me to find something funny when it's so clear that it's actors trying to act funny, instead of characters doing funny things/reacting in a way that's both humorous and well-crafted. I didn't finish it, but the show might be a good show for someone who needs something light without much to focus on. And the countryside is beautiful!
