Okay, K-drama fam, we need to talk. The newest stills from Crushology 101 has dropped, and let’s just say, we were not ready. If you’ve been watching, then you already know things have been tense between Hwang Jae Yeol (Lee Chae Min) and Cha Ji Won (Cho Jun Young). But now? These two are officially teaming up to protect Ban Hee Jin (Roh Jeong Eui), and it’s giving everything.
Wait, Are Jae Yeol and Ji Won… Friends Now?
So here’s the scoop. One of the new stills shows Lee Chae Min and Cho Jun Young riding on a scooter together. Like, actually sitting super close, with Ji Won’s arms wrapped around Jae Yeol. Excuse me?? These two couldn’t even look at each other without tension in the earlier episodes, and now they’re on a buddy mission to save Hee Jin?
Not gonna lie, I had to do a double take. It’s one of those unexpected plot twists that makes you fall in love with the show all over again.
A Protective Moment That Hits Hard
Another still shows Ji Won throwing a death stare at someone off-camera. If you’ve been following his character, you know he’s the soft, quiet one, so seeing this fierce side of him is kind of thrilling.
Then there’s Jae Yeol, ever the reluctant protector, taking off his jacket to cover Ban Hee Jin. Not for fashion. Not for drama. But to literally help her hide. It’s subtle, but so powerful. You can feel that both of them have dropped their egos for her.
The Drama Just Got Real, And We’re Hooked
What’s cool about these stills is how much they say without any words. You can tell there’s something big coming, maybe danger, maybe a secret, but either way, our boys are stepping up. It’s the kind of emotional tension and growth that makes K-dramas so addicting.
If you’re searching for more Korean TV shows with Lee Chae-min and Jo Joon Young, keep this one at the top of your list. The chemistry, the twists, the soft boy energy mixed with tough decisions, it’s all here.
So… What Happens Next?
I don’t know about you, but I’m fully invested. These stills have completely flipped the story’s vibe. Now I’m dying to see how this new alliance plays out, and what it means for Hee Jin, and for the love triangle (or square?) that’s been brewing.
