On why she chose to start in the drama, Lee Sun Bin shared, “When I first received the script, I found it really fun to read. I noticed that people enjoyed my performances in slice-of-life roles, so I wanted to give them something they would love while ensuring that this drama had a distinct atmosphere from my past projects.” She continued, “Since this story unfolds in an unusual setting—a research institute dedicated to potatoes—I felt it was the perfect opportunity to showcase my acting in a fresh way.
This drama is the ideal blend of romance and comedy. Also, I always heard great things about Kang Tae Oh from those around me, so I really wanted to act alongside him. On top of that, the senior actors I worked with were wonderful, which made me feel incredibly lucky.
” Speaking about her character Mi Kyeong, Lee Sun Bin remarked, “She’s a lovable character who you just can’t dislike. But it’s not just Mi Kyeong—every character in our drama is endearin.
