Pierce Conran South China Morning Post Apr 11
2/5
Rather than being comfort food, this particular iteration of the office romcom is more like a midweek meal where you skip half the ingredients because you have not had the time to go to the supermarket. Go to Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk 03/24/2025
4/5
[The Potato Lab is] tightly and wittily written, driven by the standard love-hate dynamic familiar from Pride and Prejudice, but heavier on the social comedy and prone to larky screwball antics Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community 03/03/2025
8/10
Don’t let its oddly boring and generic title fool you. The Potato Lab holds lots of promise, and with what we can see so far, it is likely to be the sleeper hit series of the season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zoe B @RT50289588 Feb 1 Possibly the funniest k-drama I’ve ever seen, but also sexy, sweet, clever…the whole package. The secondary characters are absolutely wonderful and the leads are incredibly cute together. See more Karen B @RT68591012 Apr 5 I'm watching to support Kang Tae Oh in his first dra, a after serving his military time. I'm not crazy about the FL character because she's unnecessarily rude to everyone even her brother. I like the brother and her best friend and the supporting cast at the lab. Overall, its watchable, but certainly not one I'll repeat. See more Allysa A @RT26103237 03/18/2025 I love Kang Tae-oh, but this show is ridiculously bad.The character of Kim Mi-kyeong is written to be so mean, obnoxious and Petty that there is no way he would like her ,let alone fall in love with her. It is painful to watch her character be so rude to a superior, especially in Korea where it would never be tolerated. Potato Lab could have had potential if they hadn't gone overboard and made it so ridiculous. Other than watching the extremely handsome Kang Tae-oh this show has no redeeming qualities See more Alda P @RT42458773 03/05/2025 Kaen Tae-ho was one of the reasons I started watching Kdrama. He played well, but the "b**ch" of the woman and people are just like in real life. If I wanted people to be Nasty and horrible I would just look at my own life not pay to watch it on Netflix. Horrible horrible people. Lee Sun-Bin - I believe you are in real life that terrible as well. --99% Minus See more Read all reviews
