‘Absolute Value of Romance’ Cast Highlights Youthful Comedy in New Interviews

New interviews underscore a youth-focused tone shaped by a playful story-within-a-story device.

Overview

  • Fresh interviews and a press event this week offer new detail on the characters, tone, and on-set moments from the series.
  • The show follows teen writer Yeo Eui-ju, whose four new teachers spark her fiction, which the drama brings to life through a story-within-a-story format.
  • Kim Hyang Gi calls this her first comedy role and says she focused on hitting the script’s humor while shaping Eui-ju’s look and energy.
  • Cha Hak-yeon describes his teacher as guarded yet a bit clumsy and recalls a comic breakdown scene that needed multiple retakes because the cast kept laughing.
  • Coverage differs on where it streams, with Soompi citing Friday 8 p.m. KST on Coupang Play and K-POPPED! saying it is exclusive to Prime Video with weekly episodes.
