The Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance set the internet abuzz on the 24th by unveiling striking character stills of Cha Hak-yeon, whose unrivaled aura is stealing hearts.
Absolute Value of Romance is a teen drama that follows Eui-ju (played by Kim Hyang-gi), a high school student who writes BL novels starring flower-boy teachers, as she gets entangled with them in real life after an unexpected incident, kicking off a whirlwind of school-life chaos. In the newly released stills, Cha Hak-yeon transforms into the icy math teacher Ki Woo-soo, exuding overwhelming charisma.
With a perfectly tailored suit, cool-headed charisma, and an unwavering gaze befitting a Mensa member with an IQ of 156 and a genius mathematician, Cha Hak-yeon commands attention. The way he watches over his class screams “untouchable perfectionist,” raising anticipation for his new take on the cold, irresistibly handsome ‘ice prince’ archetype.
On top of that, his expression hinting at trouble from day one teases the turbulent incidents set to unfold after he crosses paths with Eui-ju, dialing up the tension.
Meanwhile, the Coupang Play series Absolute Value of Romance will premiere on April 17 at 8 p.m., and it will be available to watch for free for both Coupang Wow members and non-members.
