What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Absolute Value of Romance turns the contrast between Eui-ju’s romantic imagination and her awkward school days into bright, story-driven comedy. Her writing gives ordinary classroom encounters a fanciful second life, while clumsy moments keep the romance from becoming too polished. The humor has a playful, self-aware quality: the stories she dreams up at night are not quite the same as the life she has to navigate the next morning.

The four new teachers disrupt the school’s routine as well as Eui-ju’s imagination, stirring excitement among her classmates and supplying fresh inspiration for her fiction. Alongside that bustle, her secret creative life brings a more personal thread to the comedy. Dreams, first feelings, and questions about who she is becoming give the light romance its warm coming-of-age texture.
