In 'Crushology 101,' Jo Joon-young captured both excitement and joy.
Jo Joon-young is passionately playing the role of 'Cha Ji-won,' a legend of a returning student who has it all, in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Seong So-eun and Lee Seul, produced by Kakao Entertainment), demonstrating a charming duality that swings between softness and cynicism, captivating the audience.
In this week's broadcast, Cha Ji-won effortlessly interacts with his junior 'Bani' (played by Noh Jung-ui), joking around while attending class and working on assignments together, as well as going to a camera shop to help choose a gift for his sister 'Cha Hye-won' (played by Chae Je-ni), fulfilling the campus romance fantasy.
Moreover, as Cha Ji-won advised Bani, who quickly became infatuated with 'Jo Ah-rang' (played by Kim Hyun-jin), to take things slowly, he used his wealth to investigate Jo Ah-rang's background. Upon discovering that he is a playboy, he initiated a joint operation to 'disrupt the date' alongside 'Hwang Jae-yeol' (played by Lee Chae-min), providing laughs through their delightful chemistry.
Towards the end of the broadcast, Cha Ji-won, understanding Jo Ah-rang's true feelings, gently comforts a hurt Bani, naturally holding her hand and blocking the way in crowded places, creating a sweet atmosphere and escalating curiosity about the direction of his feelings.
In the process, Jo Joon-young shaped a previously unseen cool demeanor after grasping Jo Ah-rang's true nature while showing an endlessly kind gaze toward Bani, subtly expressing the dual emotions of his character, further enhancing the allure of Cha Ji-won.
Meanwhile, 'Crushology 101,' featuring Jo Joon-young's stunning performance, tells the story of Bani, who becomes involved with attractive men suddenly after being left with an embarrassing past following her first love, airing every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. on MBC.
