Actor Jang Jae-young has been cast in Coupang Play's new series "The Absolute Value of Romance."
"The Absolute Value of Romance" is a high‑teen series about a high school girl who wrote BL novels starring handsome male teachers and becomes the protagonist of a turbulent school life as she encounters them in unexpected moments in reality.
Jang Jae-young plays Kim Dan‑ji, one of the quartet who hang out with Yeo Euiju (played by Kim Hyang‑gi). Dan‑ji is a carefree and cheerful high school girl who serves as the source of rumors and information at Murim High School, relaying news faster than anyone else.
In 2022, Jang Jae‑young debuted as a supporting character, "Mi‑young's friend," in the film "The Witch Part 2. The Other One" and later left an impression by perfectly portraying Han Yu‑i in the KBS drama special drama "We Were."
Recently, she appeared as one of the group of high school girls who throw eggs at Seong Hee‑ju (played by IU) in the premiere of MBC's new Friday‑Saturday drama "Perfect Crown," leaving a brief but strong impression. In this way, Jang Jae‑young brings freshness by building characters with different tones in each work, even when playing the same "high school girl" role.
In her next work, "The Absolute Value of Romance," Jang Jae‑young will again portray a high school girl and is expected to reach living room audiences with a new charm different from her existing image. With her solid acting skills, expectations are growing about whether she can leap to become a standout supporting actor that the public pays attention to through this work.
Meanwhile, the Coupang Play series "The Absolute Value of Romance," which features Jang Jae‑young, will be released on Coupang Play at 8 p.m. on Apr. 17.
