This K-Drama Girl Secretly Wrote a BL Novel ‘Absolute Value of Romance’ — And Now She’s About to Get Expelled for It

Coupang Play’s Absolute Value of Romance is giving us the most chaotic, laugh-out-loud premise of April 2026 — and the new teaser proves it’s going to be an absolute ride.

Absolute Value of Romance: Overview

So What’s ‘Absolute Value of Romance’ Story?

Absolute Value of Romance tells the story of high school student Yeo Eui Ju (Kim Hyang Gi), who secretly writes a BL novel featuring her handsome teachers as the main characters — but when she runs into these teachers in real life at unexpected moments, her once-peaceful school life takes a turbulent turn.

If that premise doesn’t immediately grab you, we don’t know what will. It’s chaotic, self-aware, and brilliantly meta — a teenage writer accidentally building a hit career out of her own awkward reality.

What the Teaser Reveals

The main trailer captures the roller-coaster story of Eui Ju — once a “total flop of a writer” — being reborn as a “hit-making author” thanks to the newly appointed, good-looking teachers, skyrocketing overnight into popularity with the line: “A great work needs great inspiration.”

But just when success feels within reach, reality bites hard.

As word spreads around school about the true nature of the BL novel modelled after the teachers, ominous lines like “Take it down right now!” and “We’re going to expel you” follow one after another — heightening curiosity about the backlash heading Eui Ju’s way.

The Poster Says It All

The main poster captures the stark contrast between Yeo Eui Ju — completely absorbed in her writing with bright, sparkling eyes — and the four handsome teachers around her wearing bewildered facial expressions, foreshadowing the cheerful, comedic commotion ahead.

Four gorgeous, clueless teachers. One wildly ambitious student. What could possibly go wrong?

Boys’ Love as a genre has exploded in popularity across East Asian entertainment in recent years — and Absolute Value of Romance cleverly weaves that cultural trend right into its comedic core.
