Actor Kim Dong-gyu is showing a wide range of character versatility in Absolute Value of Romance.
Last year, Kim Dong-gyu in the MBC drama Moon River appeared as Han-seong, a Sungkyunkwan student who loves Hong-nan (played by Park Ah-in), leaving a heavy impression with restrained looks and delicate emotional expression in every appearance, earning viewers' attention.
Kim Dong-gyu, who increased immersion by vividly portraying complex emotions, received praise for showing steady acting ability that made it hard to believe this was his first challenge in a historical drama, thanks to his warm visuals and intellectual air.
Since then, Kim Dong-gyu has returned with a charm different from his previous work. In the Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance, Kim Dong-gyu plays Yoon Dong-ju, a Korean language teacher at Murim High School, who is warm and kind to everyone. As a character who anchors the drama with his characteristic calmness and stability, Kim Dong-gyu stands out even among the handsome teachers at Murim High School with his delicate speech and natural acting.
In particular, episodes 11 and 12 revealed an unexpected past for Yoon Dong-ju and showed a different side that gave weight to the story. Contrary to the pure face he had shown so far, he displayed charisma without a trace of a smile and action acting that highlighted his tall physique, emitting polar opposite charms.
As he has shown various acting in a variety of genres, expectations are growing for what kind of activities he will show in the future.
