Noh Jeong-ui and Lee Chae-min left a sad first kiss.
On the 26th, in the broadcast of MBC's weekend drama 'Crushology 101' (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Sung So-eun and Lee Seul), episode 6 depicted the characters Bunny (played by Noh Jeong-ui) and Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min) confirming their deep feelings for each other, yet being caught up in past connections.
The appearance of Han Yeoreum (played by Jeon So-young) shook Yein University in an instant and the rumor that Han Yeoreum and Hwang Jae-yeol were a campus couple in the past heated up the school community. Concerned for Bunny upon hearing this news, Hwang Jae-yeol hurriedly visited, but Bunny's attitude had already changed significantly from before. Bunny believed that distancing herself from Hwang Jae-yeol was the right choice because she thought she had jumped the gun again, while Hwang Jae-yeol felt that the growing distance was entirely his fault.
In response, Hwang Jae-yeol took part in a part-time job that Bunny was also attending, replacing Kwon Bo-bae (played by Nam Gyu-hee), to have a conversation. With an unwavering and resolute gaze, he assured Bunny not to misunderstand that he and Han Yeoreum are currently nothing to each other, and he mustered the courage to hold her hand under the pretense of a couple's shoot. Finally, with the barrier broken, Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol began to flirt as he transitioned from a senior to an older brother.
At the same time, Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Jun-young) also began to view his feelings clearly. Initially, he thought of Bunny as an interesting and comfortable junior, but he realized that all of those feelings originated from affection. Consequently, it remains to be seen how he will behave upon recognizing that both Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol's gaze is directed towards each other.
Meanwhile, Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol approached each other more cautiously than ever. It seemed they were gradually returning to their previous sweet atmosphere, but all efforts were thwarted by Han Yeoreum, who could not let go of her past. She desperately clung to Hwang Jae-yeol in front of Bunny, igniting her insecurities.
Hwang Jae-yeol, who no longer wanted to lose Bunny, ran to her instead of Han Yeoreum and kissed her to show that he was not bound by the past. However, due to the chaotic situation that was not resolved, their first kiss was filled more with sadness than excitement, causing viewers' hearts to ache.
Attention is focused on whether Hwang Jae-yeol will be able to escape from the past represented by Han Yeoreum and continue a sweet romance with Bunny in this precarious tightrope of their relationship.
Meanwhile, in the last broadcast, a mysterious man who knows about Bunny appeared. The man who came to retrieve the ball that flew to Bunny during a basketball game whispered, "It's just the same," while watching Bunny leave, heightening curiosity about his identity.
