Mar 12, 2025

MBC’s upcoming drama “Crushology 101” has introduced the “legendary students” of Yein University: Roh Jeong Eui, Lee Chae Min, and Jo Joon Young!

Based on a webtoon, “Crushology 101” is set in a university and follows the growth story of Ban Hee Jin (Roh Jeong Eui). After experiencing heartbreak from her disastrous first love, she finds herself entangled with handsome men.

On March 12, the drama unveiled character details of Ban Hee Jin, Hwang Jae Yeol (Lee Chae Min), and Cha Ji Won (Jo Joon Young).

A sophomore in the sculpture department, Ban Hee Jin grew up in a loving household and has a bright, outgoing personality, making her the ultimate social butterfly. With a natural artistic sense and skillful hands, she has maintained her position as the top student in her department since admission.

However, when it comes to love, she’s stuck in a never-ending cycle of heartbreak. After a disastrous breakup with her ex-boyfriend, she carries the weight of her past dating mistakes. Will Ban Hee Jin be able to move on and finally experience the romance she’s always dreamed of?

A visual design major and student representative, Hwang Jae Yeol is known for his sharp demeanor on the outside but warm-hearted nature within. With his striking looks and incredible talent, he is admired by juniors and has established himself as the ultimate “golden boy” of his department. A consistent top student, he dominates media art competitions and lives what many would call a “perfect life.”

However, there’s one thing even Hwang Jae Yeol can’t master—romance. After a painful breakup with his first love, he has completely shut himself off from relationships. With his heart frozen in time, will he be able to break free and finally open himself up to love again?

With his prestigious family background, impressive resume, striking visuals, and kind personality, Cha Ji Won is a top-tier boyfriend candidate—at least on paper. Not only does he have a strong presence in his department, but his intelligence and charm make him a standout student.

Despite his undeniable appeal, Cha Ji Won is a self-declared single who has never been interested in dating. While he unknowingly fuels others’ romantic fantasies, he has deliberately suppressed his own feelings. But as cherry blossoms flutter across campus, will something—or someone—finally awaken his dormant heart?
