Crushology 101 ends with 0% ratings, fans call Roh Jeong Eui starrer ‘forgettable' despite promising start: 'At least it ended'
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Crushology 101 has officially wrapped up its run, but not with the impact it once hoped for. The May 17 finale recorded a nationwide viewership rating of just 0.8%, according to Nielsen Korea, marking the series' lowest rating yet and capping off an overall disappointing performance. The romantic drama, based on a well-known webtoon, made a promising debut, starting at 1.3% and briefly peaking at 1.5%. However, it quickly lost steam, dipping into the 0% range and failing to maintain audience interest. Crushology 101: Interesting plot that failed to deliver Crushology 101 (written by Sung So Eun and Lee Seul, directed by Kim Ji Hoon) revolved around Ban Hee Jin—nicknamed Bunny or Bani—played by Roh Jeong Eui. Bunny, a top student in Yein University's sculpture department, enters a chaotic chapter in her romantic life after her first heartbreak. Once convinced that personality mattered more than looks, Bunny's dating ideals are shaken when her kind-seeming first boyfriend turns out to be the opposite. Things go messier when she finds herself caught between multiple charming suitors, including design department golden boy Hwang Jae Yeol (Lee Chae Min) and the chaebol-perfect Cha Ji Won (Jo Joon Young). There's very little room to go wrong with young adult romances, but despite the visual appeal and intriguing setup, Crushology 101 drama struggled to create long-term emotional investment, marking one of the biggest K-drama flops of 2025. Crushology 101 finale: Fans express disappointment online On the r/kdrama subreddit, viewers didn't mince their words in their assessments of the finale. One user wrote bluntly, 'Welp. At least it ended.' Another shared mixed feelings: 'The last couple of episodes were kinda unbearable… but the last episode was decent. They managed to redeem Yeol, at least. He apologised to Bani. And thankfully, no forced couple ending in the last 10 minutes.' Several others echoed the sentiment that the drama had potential but ultimately lacked impact. 'Alright but completely forgettable show,' one user said, while another admitted to watching the final episodes at 1.75x speed just to get through them. Many fans praised Roh Jeong Eui's performance and expressed hope that she lands stronger roles in the future. 'Really only stuck through it because of RJE. Hope her future roles are better and more meaty.' Following Crushology 101's conclusion, MBC will introduce its next weekend series, Oh My Ghost Clients, a paranormal legal drama featuring Jung Kyung Ho (Crash Course in Romance), Seol In Ah (Business Proposal), and Cha Hak Yeon (Castaway Diva) slated to premiere on May 30. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
