VERY GOOD UNIVERSITY DRAMA ! Don't listen to negative reviews
On paper, Crushology 101 seemed to be yet another romantic drama in the vein of Yumi's Cells, with a heroine surrounded by multiple suitors. However, despite its soft and pink universe, the series manages to stand out thanks to its benevolence, its light themes and especially its university setting - rather rare in the genre, which often remains centered on high school.
I didn't read the original webtoon, but I hope it offers a little more depth to some characters. I regretted that some, although highlighted on the poster, finally only make brief appearances, almost like simple cameos.
On the casting side, the main actress was excellent! Even if I am not always convinced by all her roles, here she literally radiates: sunny, smiling... a real pleasure on the screen. On the other hand, I had a little more trouble with the character played by Lee Chae Min, whose sometimes too passive attitude frustrated me a little.
Overall, I fully validate Crushology 101! It's a drama without a headache, without a heavy love triangle - yes, a second suitor is present, but he never represents a real threat to the main couple. And frankly, it feels good!
Visually, it is a real bouquet of flowers: some may not have hung on to the very "sakura" and pastel aesthetics, but for my part, I found that this soft and flowery atmosphere fit perfectly with the universe of the webtoon and the spring freshness of the poster. A coherent and successful visual choice in my opinion.
OST IS SO GIRLY AND SWEET !!!
The romance is delicate, tender, and what I particularly appreciated is the absence of really toxic or malicious characters. We have a good time, even if, sometimes, we can regret a certain lack of depth or the absence of stronger secondary subjects. But at the same time... a little lightness, it doesn't hurt either!
The ending is pleasant, and each character manages to solve his or her own problems, finally expressing what he or she has on his or her heart.
In summary: a sweet and refreshing school romance not to be missed!
10/10 !
