Both stories are unique, full of interesting characters, absurdly funny moments, and both follow a high school student as our main character.

Same actress is main character Ho Goo-hee, a sweet, quiet girl. But she have good hair cut here.

Both shows perfectly capture the lighthearted, Fun, comedic and main protagonist is naturally cute.

The Temperature of Language) is an insecure student living in her sister's shadow who secretly creates a pseudonymous social media "textagram" account to vent her feelings. Her raw, emotional writing becomes a runaway viral hit at her school.

In both shows, the viral success of the leads' anonymous writing creates an intense environment of suspense within the school gates.

Absolute value OR leans into romantic comedy while the other leans into the slice-of-life pressures of high school—they share an identical core concept of light hearted drama.

same actress plays the central female protagonist in both series.

Moment at Eighteen, she stars as Yoo Soo-bin, a high school student living under the intense, suffocating academic expectations of her mother, who longs to find her own independence.

The Clumsy, Fast-Paced Humor of Youth
Because both female leads are essentially dealing with things completely outside of normal high school life (fictional romance writing vs. literally learning how to be a human), they are incredibly clumsy and naive. This setup fuels a specific brand of lighthearted, fast-paced high school comedy—filled with dramatic misunderstandings, dramatic near-exposures in the hallways, and the endearing awkwardness of first love.

Both dramas are fundamentally propelled by a main character who must navigate a normal high school environment while desperately hiding a mind-blowing, impossible secret from everyone around them
