Realism and K-dramas are not terms that typically get along with one another, but the new youth romance Crushology 101 takes artifice and superficiality to new levels.
The series is based on the webtoon Bunny and Her Boys by Ni-eun, which serves as the local title of the series in South Korea.
The concept is a simple one. Ban Hee-jin (Roh Jeong-eui,
Hierarchy ) – nickname Bunny – is a gifted sculpture major who appreciates beauty, especially if it can be found in a young man's features. Fortunately for her, beautiful young men quickly queue up in front of her.
