Actor Kang Tae-oh has emerged as a contender for the 'Romantic Comedy Free Pass Award' with his charming visuals and various emotional performances.
Kang Tae-oh played the captivating So Baek-ho in tvN's weekend drama 'The Potato Lab,' which aired on the 5th, showcasing a delightful balance between cold and warm moments.
Earlier, So Baek-ho displayed cute flirting using a teddy bear towards Kim Mi-kyung (played by Lee Sun-bin), offering the sweet taste that is fundamental to romantic comedy.
On that day, So Baek-ho revealed all the bitter and salty flavors within the clever balance of pace. After hearing Kim Mi-kyung's request to "please disappear before my eyes," the wounded look in So Baek-ho's eyes and his performance swallowing his sadness evoked sympathy from viewers.
Subsequently, due to a series of events, So Baek-ho and Kim Mi-kyung became trapped in a potato storage facility. So Baek-ho conveyed his sincerity in a trembling tone, asking, "If I hold on, can you hold on to me?" His calm yet firm confession deeply resonated with the viewers' hearts.
In this way, Kang Tae-oh is actively portraying So Baek-ho, who gradually learns warm emotions while facing Kim Mi-kyung, evolving from a principled individual who insisted on only efficient choices through 'The Potato Lab.' He has established himself as 'Kang Fox,' showcasing a multi-dimensional character performance as he navigates various emotions, and proving once again that he is indeed a contender for the 'Romantic Comedy Free Pass Award' with his tall physique and charming visuals.
Meanwhile, the finale of tvN's 'The Potato Lab,' starring Kang Tae-oh, will air today (6th) at 9:20 p.m.
