Actor Kim Hyang-gi is making her presence felt with widely recognized acting in Absolute Value of Romance.
The Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance, first released last month, is a high-teen comedy that stars pretty-boy teachers and follows a high school girl who used to write romance novels as she encounters them in real life at unexpected moments and becomes the protagonist of a tumultuous school life, and Kim Hyang-gi is playing the twist-filled high school girl Yeo Eui-ju.
By day she is a normal, quiet student who likes writing, but at night she reveals a twist as a romance novelist whose view counts explode, showing a three-dimensional charm.
Kim Hyang-gi's charm is exciting not only domestic but also overseas viewers. According to global OTT ranking aggregator FlixPatrol, Absolute Value of Romance is meeting viewers around the world through the global platform Amazon Prime Video and is sparking a hot syndrome day after day.
In particular, on Prime Video's "TOP TV Shows" list, it has secured top 10 rankings day after day in major Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines as well as across leading countries worldwide, reaching South American regions including Brazil, Chile and Peru, entering a long-term hit phase.
Kim Hyang-gi's role was big in this success. She realistically portrayed the fresh and delicate sensibilities of an 18-year-old girl going through growing pains, stimulating global viewers' empathy and sensitivity.
Even without flashy modifiers, Kim Hyang-gi's depth revealed through her eyes and delicate facial expressions fully conveys the character's narrative, and praise continues that Absolute Value of Romance has been completed as a beautiful record of growth beyond a simple youth story.
Meanwhile, the Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance, in which Kim Hyang-gi appears, is released every Friday at 8 p.m. It is released overseas through Amazon Prime Video.<
