No Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, and Jo Joon-young race toward their final story amid misunderstandings and conflicts.

The MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Crushology 101" (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Seong So-eun and Lee Seul, produced by Kakao Entertainment) portrays the love and future dilemmas that anyone has experienced through No Jung-eui (playing Bani), Lee Chae-min (playing Hwang Jae-yeol), and Jo Joon-young (playing Cha Ji-won), sometimes romantically and sometimes seriously, drawing empathy from viewers. The focus now shifts to what kind of conclusion they will reach.

#Bani's journey in search of dreams and Hwang Jae-yeol left behind

Bani (played by No Jung-eui) successfully got into an overseas study program to New York thanks to thorough preparation, but her joy was short-lived as she faced conflict with Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min), who urged her not to go. Although Hwang Jae-yeol wanted to support Bani's decision, his anxiety grew when he learned that Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Joon-young) was returning to New York, which made him feel as if he was nearing a breaking point due to Cha Ji-won's actions that teetered on crossing boundaries. Bani had already distanced herself from Cha Ji-won to end their relationship, but this was not enough to quell Hwang Jae-yeol's unease.

Bani expressed her desire not to break up with Hwang Jae-yeol, but he could not give her an answer until she was about to leave, leading to an unwanted separation for both. It was an unanticipated breakup, but as they still care for and like each other, curiosity surrounds whether their reunion will be a moment of joy or hesitation.

#The mysterious man who came looking for Bani

After Hwang Jae-yeol and Cha Ji-won, a new man appears before Bani. The mysterious man not only knows Bani well, but he is also a familiar figure to her, so much so that she quickly lowers her guard. Most importantly, he arrives during a difficult time for Bani, who is struggling after breaking up with Hwang Jae-yeol, which adds to the tension and raises questions about the man who has come looking for Bani.

#The passion and future envisioned by youth

Bani, Hwang Jae-yeol, and their friends are all striving towards their individual goals. Bani, the sculpture major, went abroad to expand her horizons, while visual design major Hwang Jae-yeol and Lee Dong-ha (played by Kim Min-cheol) are diligently participating in competitions to build their portfolios based on strong skills. Theater and film major Kwon Bo-bae (played by Nam Gyu-hee) is passionately engaged in both class life and auditions, while media communication major Nam Kko-nim (played by Choi Ji-soo) holds a determined dream of becoming like her role model.

In this way, the youth, who have many aspirations, are doing their best in their respective places, striving to grow step by step. The energy of these individuals, who spare no passion for what they desire, is expected to shine brilliantly until the very last moment, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

Meanwhile, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Crushology 101" will broadcast its 11th episode tomorrow (16th) at 9:50 p.m.
