"A romance drama where the chemistry equals zero."
Absolute Value of Romance fails to live up to its fun, chaotic premise.
The romance between a high school sophomore and her math teacher feels incredibly uncomfortable.
Ga Woo-su using Eui-ju's secret novel to blackmail her into tutoring is highly problematic.
Episode 12 ruins the tone with a ridiculous twist about Woo-su's past idol trauma.
The "four handsome teachers" gimmick gets boring and repetitive after just a few episodes.
Talented side actors are wasted on dead-end subplots like the school luge team recruiting.
Kim Hyang-gi and Cha Hak-yeon share absolutely zero romantic or playful on-screen chemistry.
The finale uses a lazy two-year time jump to magically fix the inappropriate relationship.
Major school board conflicts are completely brushed aside in the final fifteen minutes.This logic-defying, poorly paced series earns a thoroughly deserved 4 out of 10.
