Noh Jeong-ui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Joon-young, and Jeon So-young, the four people's complicated relationships are reaching a climax.
The 7th episode of Crushology 101, which aired on 2nd on MBC, depicted the cautious yet recurring distance and closeness of Bunny (Noh Jeong-ui) and Hwang Jae-yeol (Lee Chae-min), who are careful about their feelings for each other.
Bunny sought to understand the intentions of Hwang Jae-yeol, who kissed her in front of Han Yeo-reum (Jeon So-young), but Hwang Jae-yeol felt remorse for his impulsive actions and couldn't even offer an explanation. However, Bunny misinterpreted Hwang Jae-yeol's silence and believed he would be different from others, which deepened her hurt. As the silence stretched on, Bunny's attitude toward Hwang Jae-yeol grew colder, and his self-reproach for creating a situation where they couldn't even speak to each other intensified.
Cha Ji-won (Jo Joon-young), who observed all of this, began to subtly reveal his feelings for Bunny, hoping she wouldn't be hurt any longer because of Hwang Jae-yeol. He made it clear that he is only kind to Bunny, gradually showing more distinct feelings as he chose his commitment to Bunny over the request of his younger sibling, who had always been his first priority.
Meanwhile, after the kissing incident, Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol faced each other for the first time and engaged in a serious conversation. Hwang Jae-yeol conveyed his genuine feelings, stating that his actions were to avoid losing Bunny and included an apology for what he wanted to say that night. Even though Bunny heard the words she wanted to hear, she found it difficult to open her heart. Nevertheless, she continued trying to build a good relationship with Hwang Jae-yeol, which made their stagnant relationship feel even more unfortunate as it showed how much she liked him.
On the long-awaited day of the Art Festival, during the highlight confession tree time, Bunny's name was called, sending Hwang Jae-yeol, Cha Ji-won, and Han Yeo-reum into a panic. Bunny secretly hoped that the main character of the story would be Hwang Jae-yeol, but the one who came up was none other than Cha Ji-won. Caught in shock, Hwang Jae-yeol, and relieved Han Yeo-reum, Cha Ji-won maintained a poker face while watching Bunny in his own way, deepening his feelings and leaving a lasting impression on the viewers.
With Cha Ji-won's bombshell, the four people's complicated relationships are heading in an unpredictable direction once again. The viewers are left wondering who is the true protagonist who publicly confessed to Bunny and what results the public confession will bring.
The MBC weekend drama Crushology 101, where Noh Jeong-ui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Joon-young, and Jeon So-young endure painful growing pains due to conflicting emotions, will air its 8th episode on 3rd at 9:50 p.m.
