MBC’s brand new 2025 rom-com Kdrama Crushology 101 Season 1 finally debuted on April 11, and it’s already giving viewers a rollercoaster of laughs, cringes, and romantic chaos. Starring Roh Jeong Eui as Ban Hui Jin(aka “Bunny”) and Lee Chae Min as the cold yet irresistible Hwang Jae Yeol, this rom-com is anything but ordinary.
Based on a webtoon, Crushology 101 follows Bunny, a university student obsessed with physical beauty. She shocks everyone by dating a guy with zero visual appeal because of his sheer persistence. But things turn dark when she learns that he only dates her with shallow intentions.
Her heartbreak flips a switch – she vows to only date handsome men going forward. And guess what? Fate answers.

But instead of a dreamy meet-cute, their first encounter is straight out of a nightmare— she breaks his pricey tablet and later throws up on him during a wild night out. Talk about memorable first impressions!.
Meanwhile, her chemistry with Cha Ji Won (Jo Joon Young), her junior from the Sculpture Department, starts way smoother. He’s cute, kind, and the total opposite of Jae Yeol– making fans wonder, could he be the second lead to root for?
