Let’s be real, how do you concentrate on a lecture when Hwang Jae Yeol’s face is right there? Ban Hee Jin is definitely trying her best, but in the latest stills from the upcoming episode of Crushology 101, we can totally relate to her struggle.
If you’ve been keeping up with Crushology 101, this drama is already climbing to the top of our “must-watch with snacks” list. And these new stills? They’re giving us all the sweet, awkward, slow-burn romance we crave.
Diligence Meets Distraction in Visual Design Class
In the new photos, we see Ban Hee Jin (played by the ever-charming Roh Jeong Eui) taking notes in a visual design class, not her own, by the way, as a way to repay a debt to Hwang Jae Yeol (played by Lee Chae Min). She’s actually a sculpture major, but she’s showing up like a pro to Jae Yeol’s class, pen in hand, fully ready to make things right after that little mishap involving a staircase, a tablet, and a very dramatic rescue attempt.
While Hee Jin is scribbling away like her academic life depends on it, Jae Yeol lounges calmly beside her, totally relaxed, just vibing through the lecture. The contrast between them is both hilarious and kinda adorable.
She’s Annoyed, But… Also Crushing?
Now here’s the kicker: even though Ban Hee Jin is still annoyed about being stuck with this “punishment” after literally trying to save his handsome face, she’s not immune to the charm sitting right next to her. Can we blame her? The way she keeps sneaking glances at him in these stills, the soft expressions, the reluctant admiration, it’s so relatable.
As they continue to share space and moments like this, we can already see Hee Jin falling deeper into the crush zone. And honestly? We’re falling with her.
The Feeling’s Mutual, Even If He Won’t Say It Yet
It’s not just one-sided, either. The stills, and the storyline so far, show Hwang Jae Yeol growing more intrigued by Hee Jin’s bold personality. She speaks her mind without filters (iconic), yet she’s incredibly serious about repaying her “debt” like it’s a full-time job. That combo? Completely irresistible.
This subtle chemistry between them, one moment feisty, the next tender, is what makes Crushology 101 such a gem in the new Kdrama 2025 lineup.
