Actress Hyang-gi Kim is making a shocking pivot—teasing her debut as a BL author.
On the 20th, the Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance dropped its teaser poster and trailer.
Absolute Value of Romance is a high-teen series about a high school girl who writes romance novels starring her school’s heartthrob teachers. When she starts running into them in real life at the most unexpected moments, she’s thrust into a whirlwind of campus chaos. By day she’s an ordinary student; by night she’s a hit romance novelist—Hyang-gi Kim’s bright, bubbly dual life is set to grab viewers’ attention.
The newly released teaser poster spotlights Hyang-gi Kim’s radiant smile, while the handsome teachers look like they’ve leapt straight off the pages of a novel—amping up the intrigue.
The teaser trailer kicks off as four heartthrob teachers are newly assigned to Hyang-gi Kim’s school, where she’s long been a so-called “no-fun writer.” The mere sight of them ignites her creative spark, and she rockets to the top—soaring views and clinching No. 1 on the real-time rankings as she becomes an overnight hit author.
Building hype for how the story with these “flutter-inducing” teachers will unfold, Absolute Value of Romance premieres on April 17 at 8 p.m.
