MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “Crushology 101” has come to an end, concluding its broadcast journey with underwhelming viewership numbers.
According to Nielsen Korea on May 18, the final episode of the romantic series, which aired on May 17, recorded a nationwide rating of 0.8%, marking its lowest point. The show had initially premiered with a 1.3% rating and peaked at 1.5%, but ultimately failed to maintain audience interest, dipping into the 0% range by its finale.
“Crushology 101” (written by Sung So-eun and Lee Seul, directed by Kim Ji-hoon) was adapted from a popular webtoon and centered around the character Bunny (Ban Hee-jin), who, after a disastrous first relationship, finds herself caught in a whirlwind romance with several charming men. Despite its visually appealing cast and fanbase from the original webtoon, the show struggled to connect with broader audiences.
The cast included rising actors such as Roh Jeong-eui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Joon-young, Kim Hyun-jin, and Hong Min-ki, all of whom delivered solid performances despite the drama’s low performance in ratings.
Following the drama’s conclusion, MBC will air its new series “Oh My Ghost Clients” starring Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-ah, and Cha Hak-yeon, set to premiere on May 30.
