Crushology 101- Episodes 7-8

Confessions, Confusion, and a Campus Crisis 💔🔥

If Crushology 101 was a rollercoaster before, Episode 7 just flipped us upside down, threw in a loop, and then slow-rolled us into emotional chaos. Who knew campus romance could feel like a survival game? Let’s recap the madness. 👇

We pick up right where we left off: Jae-yeol just kissed Bunny right in front of his ex, Yeo-reum. Bold move? Maybe. Good move? Debatable. Bunny’s standing there, stunned, her expression screaming, “What just happened?!” Yeo-reum’s not thrilled either, and Jae-yeol? He’s just awkwardly existing.

Ji-won, our resident emotional support hero, swoops in to drive Bunny home — because of course he does. We stan a man who knows when to rescue without making it weird.

But Bunny isn’t one to stew in confusion. The next morning, she pulls a power move and confronts Jae-yeol directly: “Was that kiss real, or was I just a convenient excuse?” Jae-yeol stutters, fumbles, and gives the most non-answer ever. Bunny walks away, feeling used, angry, and officially over it. Or so she thinks.

Bunny tries to forget Jae-yeol with a little help from her friends (and Ji-won’s comforting smiles), but life at Crushology U has other plans. Because of course, she keeps running into Jae-yeol... with Yeo-reum. Everywhere. The campus is suddenly the size of a shoebox.

Yeo-reum’s not subtle — she’s in full “I’m getting my man back” mode, and Bunny’s left wondering if Jae-yeol is still tangled in his feelings for his ex. The guy can’t even communicate properly, let alone clarify his intentions. And somehow, he thinks dressing up as a bunny to promote a campus event is the way to win her over. Boy, read the room. 🐰

Meanwhile, Ji-won is quietly being the human equivalent of a warm blanket, sticking by Bunny’s side, listening to her, and just being there. Honestly, if loyalty was a sport, he’d be an Olympic gold medalist.

Just when we think Jae-yeol’s week can’t get worse, his personal life goes full soap opera. Students witness a woman snatching his mom by the hair — turns out, it’s the wife of the married professor his mom’s been seeing. Talk about public humiliation. Jae-yeol jumps in to defuse the situation and drags his mom to a quiet stairwell for a heart-to-heart.

But instead of being the usual angry, judgmental son, he actually listens. His mom didn’t know the professor was married. She’s hurt too, and Jae-yeol’s forced to confront the fact that he’s not the only one suffering here. He’s starting to see that other people’s feelings matter, but can he apply this new empathy to his situation with Bunny?

Just as things seem to be calming down, Jae-yeol falls sick and skips school. Bunny notices, worries, and — in peak K-drama fashion — decides to bring him porridge (juk). But when she shows up at his apartment, guess who answers the door? Yeo-reum. Because of course. 💔

Yeo-reum, trying to play it cool, tells Bunny that Jae-yeol is asleep. Bunny’s heart shatters. She leaves without another word, feeling crushed. Little does she know, Jae-yeol was completely knocked out and had no idea Yeo-reum was even there. Worse, Yeo-reum doesn’t lie to him — she tells Jae-yeol a “friend” dropped off the porridge, conveniently leaving Bunny’s name out. Shady much?

And then it’s time for the big campus event: Artists' Night, featuring the infamous Confession Tree. Students write anonymous love confessions, which get read out loud for a chance at public, heart-pounding romance.

Yeo-reum’s the MC (oh, the irony), and Jae-yeol is filming the event right beside her. As confession after confession is read, the crowd is loving it. But then a special one gets read: someone wants to spend Christmas with their crush, Bunny. 😳 The room tenses. Yeo-reum calls Bunny on stage, waiting to see if the writer will come forward.

Everyone who knows even a little bit about this show knows it’s probably Jae-yeol. But guess what? He doesn’t step up. Whether it’s hesitation, guilt, or cowardice, Jae-yeol just freezes. And the awkwardness is brutal.

And then, just when the embarrassment is reaching critical levels, Ji-won walks onto the stage and claims the confession. Wait — was it his all along? Or is he just saving Bunny from complete humiliation? Either way, the crowd cheers, Bunny is stunned, and we’re left screaming into our pillows.

Confessions, Confrontations, and a Kiss That Changes Everything 💘🔥

If Episode 7 was a rollercoaster, then Episode 8 of Crushology 101 just launched us straight into emotional freefall. We’ve got fake confessions, real feelings, tragic secrets, and a restaurant showdown that could be its own reality show. Let’s unpack this wild ride. 👇

We jump right back into the chaos of the festival — Bunny is standing awkwardly on stage, still processing the anonymous Confession Tree message. Then Ji-won, our human knight-in-hoodie, steps up like a hero, claiming the confession. But is it his? Or is he just saving Bunny from public humiliation? Bunny doesn’t know. Yeo-reum is caught off guard. And Jae-yeol? He’s frozen in the crowd, silently stewing.

But the drama doesn’t stop there. Jae-yeol pulls Ji-won aside for a good old stairwell showdown (because where else would these boys air their drama?). He practically accuses Ji-won of stealing his confession, but Ji-won claps back with a brutal reality check: “Did you write it and leave Bunny hanging? Because that makes you a horrible person.” Mic drop. Jae-yeol’s got nothing.

While the love triangle (or square?) is imploding, Yeo-reum’s life decides to match the chaos. News breaks that her mom is involved in a fraud scandal, and Yeo-reum is instantly swarmed by gossip and judgment. Her phone slips from her trembling hand, her calm facade shatters, and it’s clear she’s barely holding it together.

Jae-yeol, despite his own mess, is the first to reach her side. He helps her up, picks up her phone, and leads her away from the staring crowd. Bunny watches from a distance, her expression a mix of confusion and concern.

But the biggest shocker? Yeo-reum finally reveals her tragic backstory to Jae-yeol. Turns out, her mom pressured her to get money from Jae-yeol’s wealthy family. When she refused, her mom went behind her back to Jae-yeol’s mother, and Yeo-reum was so humiliated that she broke up with him without ever explaining why.

Suddenly, Jae-yeol is hit with a wave of guilt. All this time, he thought Yeo-reum was just a heartbreaker, but she was protecting him from her own family’s shame. They start spending time together again, untangling their old feelings — but is this a second chance or just a final goodbye? 👀

While Jae-yeol is wrapped up in Yeo-reum’s drama, Ji-won keeps proving he’s Bunny’s safe haven. A stack of boxes nearly crashes on Bunny? Ji-won’s there to save her. Need a distraction from heartbreak? Ji-won’s got a dinner date ready. His gentle, consistent presence is a breath of fresh air in Bunny’s messy love life.

Bunny, desperate to clear her tangled feelings, decides to give dating Ji-won a try. It’s sweet. It’s comfortable. But we all know that comfort isn’t the same as love. 😬

And then the drama gods decide to throw everyone into a pressure cooker — because Bunny, Ji-won, Jae-yeol, and Yeo-reum end up at the same restaurant on date night. Forced to share a table. Absolute nightmare fuel.

Everyone’s trying so hard to act like it’s fine. Smiles are strained, polite laughter is borderline terrifying, and the air is thick enough to cut with a knife. Jae-yeol, being the emotional volcano he is, can’t keep his cool. His jealousy erupts in the form of passive-aggressive snipes at Bunny, and it’s officially a disaster.

Bunny, who is emotionally drained and fed up, leaves with Ji-won. And honestly? She deserves better than Jae-yeol’s insecurity explosion.

But this time, Jae-yeol isn’t letting her walk away. He finally comes clean with Yeo-reum, apologizing for all the misunderstandings and officially closing the chapter on their relationship. No more lingering glances. No more what-ifs. Just a sincere “I’m sorry” and a proper goodbye.

And then? He runs after Bunny. 💨

Ji-won, sweet but persistent, tries to stop Bunny. He doesn’t want her to go back to the guy who keeps hurting her. But Bunny’s mind is made up. She knows where her heart is — even if it’s complicated. She sprints to Jae-yeol, and just as the tension hits its peak... she kisses him. No words. No hesitation. Just raw, honest feelings. 💋💖

Are they officially a couple now? Looks like it. But we know better than to think the drama is over.

DramaZen's Opinion

Drama? ✔️
Love triangles? ✔️
Double dates from hell? ✔️

Episodes 7 and 8 of Crushology 101 just served us a buffet of chaos, heartbreak, and jaw-dropping moments. Bunny is stuck in a tornado of feelings — Jae-yeol’s jealous and messy, Ji-won’s a walking green flag, and Yeo-reum’s backstory hit us with a twist we didn’t see coming. Who knew our campus romance could get this intense?

Highlights? The Confession Tree chaos was anxiety in slow motion, and the awkward double date was a masterclass in tension you could cut with a knife. But nothing tops Bunny finally kissing Jae-yeol — after all the drama, it was the emotional payoff we needed.

Jae-yeol is still a messy boy, but at least he’s trying. Ji-won deserves a whole shrine for his patience, and Bunny? Girl, we are all you — confused, overwhelmed, and falling headfirst into this emotional rollercoaster. 😭💖

Counting down to episode 9 because this love square isn’t done twisting yet!
