Coupang Play is ready to kick off spring with a youthful and heart-fluttering new original series, Absolute Value of Romance, officially confirmed for an April release. The drama is already drawing major attention thanks to its charming high-teen concept and a cast led by the ever-reliable Kim Hyang-gi, who returns to the screen in a role that perfectly blends innocence, imagination, and emotional depth.

In Absolute Value of Romance, Kim Hyang-gi plays an ordinary high school student living a double life — a quiet, unassuming student by day and a romance novel writer by night. Her secret world of fiction slowly starts bleeding into reality when her school life becomes unexpectedly complicated, turning everyday moments into something straight out of a romance novel. Known for her natural acting and emotional nuance, Kim Hyang-gi is expected to deliver another memorable performance that resonates deeply with young viewers.

Adding to the excitement is the drama’s striking male lineup. Cha Hak-yeon appears as a genius-level math teacher with a cool aura and sharp intellect, instantly becoming a standout presence. Kim Jae-hyun brings warmth and humor as a multilingual language teacher, while Son Jeong-hyuk energizes the story as a passionate and athletic P.E. instructor. Kim Dong-gyu rounds out the cast as a gentle Korean language teacher whose soft charm adds balance to the group. Together, they create an unpredictable and lively school environment that keeps the story fresh and engaging.

Described as a newly unfolding high-teen romance, the series promises a mix of sweet emotions, light comedy, and dreamy moments that feel relatable yet magical. With its modern storytelling and strong focus on character dynamics, Absolute Value of Romance is shaping up to be one of Coupang Play’s most talked-about youth dramas of the season.

As April approaches, anticipation continues to rise, especially among fans eager to see Kim Hyang-gi step into a role that blends creativity, romance, and coming-of-age emotions. If you love soft romance, school settings, and character-driven stories, this is one drama you’ll want on your watchlist.
