Actor Jo Jun-young captured attention with a powerful first appearance.
Jo Jun-young played the role of 'Cha Ji-won,' a member of the top 0.1% who has everything but nothing, in the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Seong So-eun, Lee Seul, produced by Kakao Entertainment) that premiered on the 11th, showcasing a unique charm never seen before, drawing significant interest.
In the last broadcast, Cha Ji-won captivated everyone's attention at every moment as he appeared on campus with warm visuals while heading to submit his readmission application, making the character Bunny (played by No Jeong-ui) instantly tear up her application to take a leave of absence, creating a soft atmosphere that shook the hearts of viewers from the early stages of the drama.
In addition, Cha Ji-won playfully accepted the mistake of Bunny, who mistook him for a freshman, and not only eased the atmosphere during the club meeting but also displayed a thoughtful gesture by quietly bringing a hangover remedy for the intoxicated Bunny, increasing attention on the character.
Furthermore, due to his affluent background, after tasting food for the first time, his expression of being touched, combined with his preference for the contrasting simple Dungulle tea, revealed quirky yet delightful traits that brought smiles.
Having grown closer to Bunny, Cha Ji-won monitored the sudden approach of Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min) and Jo Ah-rang (played by Kim Hyun-jin) with a watchful gaze during the confrontation, amplifying curiosity about Cha Ji-won's true feelings with a subtle ending.
In this way, Jo Jun-young effortlessly managed the short but powerful situational drama, transforming into a comedic character due to Bunny's imagination and embodying the protagonist of a melodrama, while maintaining a kind and polite demeanor towards Bunny, garnering positive reactions from the start of the drama.
Meanwhile, 'Crushology 101' began to gain momentum with Jo Jun-young's formal debut, featuring the romance of Bunny, entwined with attractive men who suddenly approached after the first love that became a dark history. The drama airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. on MBC.
