Actor Kang Tae-oh announced his successful return to the small screen.

Kang Tae-oh rolled into the small screen as cold principleist So Baek-ho in tvN 's Potato Research Institute' (scripted by Kim Ho-ho, director Kang Il-soo Shim Jae-hyun), which first aired on the 1st.

So Baek-ho, director of Wonhan Retail's Strategic Planning Office, is a character of the underworld of capitalism that fixes the team and reorganizes the workforce with mathematical judgment. On this day, So Baek-ho responded coolly even when a person who was fired because of him posed a threat with a weapon and even pointed out the number of A4 papers at the Potato Research Institute, which is the subject of mergers and acquisitions.

The sight of So Baek-ho, who was cold-blooded itself, collapsing in the potato field gave viewers a big laugh. So Baekho was attacked by a water crab at the Potato Research Institute and rolled in the field. Even after receiving hospital treatment, So Baek-ho expressed his curiosity, saying, `I rolled in a position to minimize injuries.'

At the end of the first episode, there was a scene in which So Baek-ho put an umbrella on Kim Mi-kyung (Lee Sun-bin), who expressed anger over the unwanted retail in the rain. So Baekho said, `I'm sorry I'm a wretched motherf***er," signalling the prelude to a romantic comedy.

In this way, Kang Tae-oh dominated 70 minutes with his cold and hot baths, adding to the vitality of the play with a spoon of comic and acting that threw his whole body away. In particular, Kang Tae-oh drew attention from the first broadcast by delivering a long line full of technical terms with accurate diction.

Meanwhile, tvN 'Potato Research Institute' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
