Coupang Play series "The Absolute Value of Romance"(directors: Lee Tae-gon, Kim Joon-hyungㅣgrants: Kim Hyang-gi, Cha Hak-yeon, Kim Jae-hyun, Son Jeong-hyuk, Kim Dong-gyuㅣprovided by: Coupang Playㅣproduced by: Pungnyeon Jeonpasang, Borderless Filmㅣco-produced by: Mediacorp) is a high-teen series about a high school girl who used to write BL novels starring handsome teachers, and who meets them in unexpected moments in real life and becomes the protagonist of a tumultuous school life.
With a double life setup of an ordinary high school girl by day and a BL novelist by night, "The Absolute Value of Romance" adds a unique structure where reality and imagination intersect, promising fresh fun that breaks the formula of conventional high-teen stories. Especially, the audacious imagination unfolding within the familiar space of school leads to developments that leave no moment for letting down one's guard, zeroing in on viewers' dopamine.
The "double narrative" in which real people are reconfigured as characters in the novel is the work's core viewing point. The two completely different charms drawn on the same face deliver viewers extreme reversal pleasure, and the fresh, sensorial direction will complete the cheerful atmosphere unique to "The Absolute Value of Romance."
The released glam shots capture the characters' charms intuitively and grab attention. Kim Hyang-gi, who plays "Yeoui-ju," with a short choppy-bang hairstyle and clear, transparent eyes that bring a smile to the lips just by looking, completes the perfect high-teen mood with pure loveliness.
The perfect visuals of the four handsome teachers also draw the eye. Cha Hak-yeon, who plays math teacher "Ga Woo-su," sits by the window striking a relaxed pose against white curtains fluttering in the wind, portraying the atmosphere of an ideal teacher as if stepped out of a fantasy. Kim Jae-hyun, who plays Japanese teacher "Noda-ju," perched on the lectern, draws attention with a free mood and vibrant energy, clearly revealing the lively teacher's image.
Teto-nam physical education teacher "Jeong Ki-jeon," played by Son Jeong-hyuk, anchors the center with deep eyes and a solid yet refreshing vibe, adding a presence that gives a trust that is not easily shaken. Following him, Kim Dong-gyu, who plays the gentle Korean language teacher "Yun Dong-ju" leaning against the lectern, completes the image of a kind teacher who comfortably embraces students with soft eyes and a warm smile.
In this way, overwhelming attention with distinct moods and instantly imprinting the characters' charms, Coupang Play series "The Absolute Value of Romance" promises a buffet of tastes that target varied preferences and has raised prospective viewers' expectations to the highest peak.
Coupang Play series "The Absolute Value of Romance" will be released on Coupang Play at 8 p.m. on the 17th (Fri).
