Noh Jung-ui and Lee Chae-min fell into harsh dilemmas in front of dreams and love.
In the 9th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Seong So-eun, Lee Seul, produced by Kakao Entertainment), which aired yesterday (9th), a small crack appeared in the happy daily lives of Bunny (played by Noh Jung-ui) and Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min), creating a subtle tension.
Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol celebrated each other's success in enrolling in the same course, hugging each other with joy, and filled their couple coffee coupon cards as they enjoyed sweet dates over three seasons. Having held hands and been by each other's side for more than 100 days, they are in a state of bliss that seems it could not get any happier.
However, the appearance of Bunny's ex-boyfriend Ko Bong-soo (played by Kim Hyun-mok) caused a significant butterfly effect, shaking Bunny, Hwang Jae-yeol, and Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Jun-young). Feeling petty anger towards Bunny, who was doing well unlike himself, Ko Bong-soo committed the act of destroying Bunny's project work. Thanks to Cha Ji-won, who arrived just in time, further damage was prevented, but the storm Ko Bong-soo brought completely changed the situation.
Bunny focused on revising her work until the final evaluation, but as it failed to be selected as the main piece, her scholarship became uncertain. Additionally, her father fell victim to a scam, compounding her misfortunes with the issue of next semester's tuition. Hwang Jae-yeol became increasingly anxious about their dwindling contact and the incident related to Ko Bong-soo, where misunderstandings arose in the community, mistaking Bunny and Cha Ji-won as a couple.
Cha Ji-won seemed to be unfazed while watching Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol as a couple, but he still had feelings for Bunny. Despite trying not to be greedy, he found himself confronting Ko Bong-soo, who threatened Bunny, and while he could not help but fail to hide his affection, Hwang Jae-yeol remained on guard.
The inner conflicts of each individual reached a climax with a confrontation involving all three toward the end of the broadcast. Bunny, who was troubled over whether she should continue her art studies due to her scholarship and tuition issues, ultimately became intoxicated. During this time, Cha Ji-won slightly crossed a line by allowing Bunny to lean on his shoulder while waiting for a taxi. However, this scene was discovered by Hwang Jae-yeol, who rushed in despite skipping a celebration for the art competition's finals, causing viewers to hold their breath.
Thus, another issue of the future and dreams, as well as Cha Ji-won's unresolved feelings, came to light in what seemed like a peaceful situation for Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol. While Cha Ji-won struggled to manage his emotions quietly and Hwang Jae-yeol tried to avoid being conscious of Cha Ji-won for Bunny's sake, attention is focused on whether Bunny, who values both love and dreams, can navigate through this difficult situation wisely.
Meanwhile, the 10th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' will air tonight (10th) at 9:50 p.m.
