Well acted, terrible script, basic/unimaginative direction
==Breakdown==Background plot - 0%
Romance - 80%
Misc comedy - 20%
Background plot - I'm not sure there was a plot...
Romantic chemistry - Great
Misc comedy - terrible
Production value - Good
I dropped after episode 8. The script completely went off the rails and the characters' actions no longer made any sense. I do enjoy these actors and will look forward to seeing them in different dramas. But life is too short for this hot mess.

A CURRENT MUST WATCH IF YOU LOVE COLLEGE ROMANCE!!
the duo (Roh Jeong Eui and Lee Chae-Min) are back again as main leads after the terrible drama "hierarchy" which they released earlier this year. Though the drama had no plot and their chemistry in that drama was marvellous, So after I get to know they been casted together in a romance drama as main leads I was super excited to see how it would turn out and the drama just amazed me more their chemistry gets better every episode their scenes together make me giggle and blush. The story about her failed relationships is also a fun and new concept. Episode 4 is just left me craving for more!!! Can't wait for more episodes <3 IF YOU ARE INTO COLLEGE ROMANCE DO WATCH IT FS!!Was this review helpful to you?
A Sweet and Refreshing Campus Romance❤️?
"Crush Logy 101" is a heartwarming Korean drama that dives into the pure and awkward feelings of first love, set against the backdrop of a lively university campus. The story is simple yet endearing, focusing on friendships, small misunderstandings, and the slow, sweet journey of young romance.The leads share an easy, natural chemistry that feels authentic and comforting. With its soft storytelling, relatable characters, and cozy atmosphere, "Crush Logy 101" offers a perfect break from heavy or overly dramatic series. It’s an easy, feel-good watch that leaves you smiling and reminiscing about your own youthful crushes.

heavy 2 lead syndrom
In Crushology 101, it annoys me so much how Bani always chooses the wrong people—either because of their looks or simply because they show feelings for her early on. None of those relationships felt genuine. Out of all the guys she dated, the only one who truly cared about her was Ji Won 😭—and he got rejected! What kind of messed up drama is this? Honestly, he had everything, and it would’ve made the most logical sense if she ended up with him. This show could’ve been so much better if she had choosen himWas this review helpful to you?
boring
started off with the cliches but it was bearable because they were kinda aware of it and gave a different feel like over-romanticizing the whole college surroundings. plus bani just finding multiple men liking her was funny to watch but then they went ahead with a love triangle and miscommunication. is it so hard for people to actually say anything???? if yeol and bani's relationship had developed in the background while bani was finding options left and right it would have been a bit different than your usual dramas. the fl's performance was better here compared to hierarchy. the cinematography of the first few episodes are great but we loose that tooWas this review helpful to you?
It's okay....
my final thought when finishing this was "... well that was okay..." like not great but not bad. I agree with others that this is a "filler drama" lol. The chemistry between leads was good but the story got so repetitive and boring at times that I think I only finished it because I watched it as it came out.The really smooth filter they have on all their faces drives me nuts lol. I felt like it lost its comedic edge that it had in the beginning- that was disappointing.
But all in all, it's your basic kdrama. If you want eye candy, it has plenty of it. If you want drama, it has some of that.
One redeeming quality is the one girl I thought was going to be a jealous backstabber ended up not being one. I hate those plots lol.
The acting boosted the score a lot and I found a lot of the side characters very charming

Biggest Disappointment of this Year!!
This was a boring, cliche harem styled romance that I wanted to get done with; I could finish this entire review in this one line!This is one of those shows that starts in a promising way, forgets itself in the middle and lands in a puddle towards the end. By the end of the first half, you don’t mind question yourself about the purpose of watching this show. For me, it was the sole desire to watch it till the end and I persevered. Regrettably, the show falls back on its intend- the premise being quickly forgotten. Bunny, a top sculpture student at Yein University, once believed personality mattered more than looks—until a failed relationship left her embarrassed and insecure. Now, she admits to liking good-looking men but struggles with self-esteem. You might question this logical conclusion- because not all good-looking men are actually good, nor bad looking men are that bad. So how Bani comes to this illogical conclusion that changes her life forever forms the cruz of this show. Then we are taken on a journey of 12 episodes where Bani falls for every handsome man in her Campus before finally settling down with the most handsome one albeit also the most grumpy of them all. Her inner monologues will leave you hilariously satisfied, so there’s that!

A slow downgrad spiral
Tbh I wouldn’t even have started this drama if it wasn’t for the cast — they’re some of my faves — and ngl I kinda regret it.The beginning was super fun, really bright and funny, with great vibes, cool interactions, nice OST and cinematography.
But it all started going downhill as soon as they got together.
They were too happy, then out of nowhere he turned hella toxic for the dumbest reasons.
And the way he acted when she went abroad? That was the last straw.
Yeah they end up together in the end, which is cute I guess, but the last 2-3 weeks left a bitter taste fr.

So frustrating!
I enjoyed halfway! Then it got so frustrating! Now I understand the low rating. ML was so disappointing and insecure but FL was worse for all the chances she gave. Didn’t even see last episode! 😒Watch it at your own risk! I couldn’t understand the low ratings until I watched the last 4-5 episodes.
Chemistry was off
Kissing scenes were so bad
They seem like good friends with no romance
Acting was good
And still frustrating about this drama!

Watchable if you like the cast and Cute plots
So they got the 4 most handsome and great actors they could for this showBut ofcource it turned out exactly as i thought it would
The sole reason i watched it was because i love all these 4 boys who were gonna be in this and then i ended up liking some more of the side characters too
The plot seemed fun and cute she promising initially so i thought it wouldn't be as bad as i thought it could be but nope it went downhill from episode 5 or 6
The female lead was the weirdest character ever even though it's fiction but still. Getting along with all these handsome boys lol.
Jaeyeol's character was the saddest male lead ever in romcoms.
Won was a great guy despite the fact that ge didn't know boundaries 😅
So yeah then basically conflicts and conflicts and conflicts.
I just watched it bec i like the cast
The kisses were boring sadly
Nevertheless I still love all the comedy and cute fluttering moments of the show
The 2nd could was v cute too
Thankgod there's a happy ending otherwise i would've gone crazy

I wanted to like this
Crushology 101 is at first an interesting and somewhat enjoyable drama. Somewhere halfway in, however, it gets super messy and you begin to realise just how unlikeable the female and male leads are.The promise of this drama isn’t like out of this world, but it did have potential. First of all, be prepared to cringe… a lot. This drama is FULL of clichés and highly unrealistic situations. That wouldn’t be an issue for tho. What bothered me the most were the characters. Bani initially looked like a strong fl, not scared to stand up for others. As the show progressed, I realized that, in spite of this, she was very stupid and naive. The male lead was incredibly insecure, jealous and perhaps even arrogant, so towards the end I was just wishing fl would end with second (or third) male lead, but I digress.
All in all this drama doesn’t have much to offer, pretty faces at most. Still I managed to finish it and even enjoy some of it along the way, so points for that.

so promising yet so disappointing
it started so strong I was HOOKED. pretty cast, funny characters very balanced plot until they started dating and then it all went downhill that moment, then the only thing happening on the show was constant jealousy & insecurity. I’m not saying jae yeol was all in the wrong because jiwon was also crossing the lines. lastly bani, i personally loved her in the beginning because she had a strong character, defended herself knew her shit and all. I hated the whole lousy communication issue. the last eps especially 10,11 worked me up to the point where I didn’t want to watch ep 12 I did in fact play it on 2x overall I was disappointed bc it had sm potential!Was this review helpful to you?
