'Absolute Value of Romance' Kim Dong-gyu's surprising past was revealed.
On the 15th, Coupang Play's 'Absolute Value of Romance' (directed by Lee Tae-gon and Kim Jun-hyung) episodes 11 and 12 revealed the twist of 'nice guy' Korean language teacher Yoon Dong-ju (Kim Dong-gyu).
Ga Woo-su (Cha Hak-yeon) helped Choi Ji-ah (Yoon Hye-rim), who had been tormented by thugs for failing to repay borrowed money, but the thugs said the interest calculation was wrong and dragged Choi Ji-ah away. Ga Woo-su, who learned of this through Yeo Yi-ju (Kim Hyang-gi), went to confront the thugs and insisted that without a contract it was invalid, but he was eventually knocked down by the thugs' punches.
Yeo Yi-ju appeared with No Da-ju (Kim Jae-hyun), Jeong Gi-jeon (Son Jeong-hyeok), and Yoon Dong-ju. Yoon Dong-ju told No Da-ju and Jeong Gi-jeon to watch over Ga Woo-su, then angrily said, "Is it fun to bully kids?" The previously gentle-looking Yoon Dong-ju changed into a gaze full of anger and surprised by easily subduing the thugs who threw punches at him.
The boss of the thugs threatened Yoon Dong-ju with a weapon, but Yoon Dong-ju subdued him easily as well. During this, Yoon Dong-ju's shirt was torn, revealing a large tattoo on his shoulder. Yeo Yi-ju, Choi Ji-ah and others witnessed this, and No Da-ju and Jeong Gi-jeon hastily covered it up to resolve the situation for the time being.
With wounds on his hand, Yoon Dong-ju received treatment at home and blamed himself, saying, "I said I would never fight again, but this happened again. And in front of the students." In response, Jeong Gi-jeon mentioned his first meeting with Yoon Dong-ju and reminded him of the part where he steadied himself and, after two years, passed the teacher training college and became a teacher. Through this, it was possible to learn that Yoon Dong-ju had wandered in the past.
Yeo Yi-ju told Choi-go-ya (Kim So-hee), Yoon Dong-ju's 'close friend' who likes him, about it. Choi-go-ya was so stunned that she could not speak for a while, and when she met Yoon Dong-ju at school the next day, the previously fluttering look could not be found. When Yeo Yi-ju tried to comfort her, Choi-go-ya solidified her firm feelings for Yoon Dong-ju and made a strong vow that from now on she would protect him.
