No Surprises, Just Red Flags - Love Minus the Lessons
Crushology 101 presents itself as a quirky teen romance but quickly falls into a cycle of overused tropes and predictable plotlines. The main leads share a toxic dynamic—his avoidant attachment style and hot-and-cold behavior are romanticized rather than addressed. The female lead’s choices make her feel unrelatable—especially in an era where female empowerment and emotional independence should resonate more strongly.The second male lead—and other love interests—feel unnecessary. From the start, it’s obvious who the female lead will end up with, leaving no real tension or surprise. Side characters serve more as distractions than contributors to emotional depth. While the show has visual appeal and moments of light charm, it lacks emotional depth and narrative risk, resulting in a glossy but forgettable watch.
