Bunny and Her Boys (2025)

Come for the Pretty Faces, Stay Because You Forgot Where the Remote Is

Crushology 101 kicks off with a dazzling premise: a young woman, freshly humiliated, decides that from now on, only gorgeous men are worthy of her time. Truly groundbreaking. If you ever wanted a show that promises emotional growth and then immediately forgets about it in favor of pretty faces, congratulations... you’ve found it.

-> Story and Pacing:
The opening scandal is genuinely hilarious. But after that, the plot politely packs its bags and leaves. Bunny’s "handsome-only" rule is less about emotional healing and more about assembling the Korean drama version of a boy band. Growth is "teased" (if by teased you mean "mentioned and ignored"), and episodes start blending together into one long montage of Bunny blushing at different men.

-> Characterization:

Ban Hee-jin (Bunny) begins as someone you root for, until you realize she’s stuck on a hamster wheel of terrible decisions, and the script is too scared to let her get off.

The male leads (Ji-won, Jae-yeol, A-rang)? Icons of originality. We’ve got the brooding quiet guy, the smug flirt, and the sensitive artist - almost as if someone checked off a bingo card titled "Standard K-Drama Love Interests."

Their instant fascination with Bunny is truly touching, considering none of them know her beyond her tendency to trip over her own feet and stare dramatically into space.

-> Tone and Execution:
The show fully commits to its webtoon look, which is adorable until it’s supposed to get serious. Emotional scenes flash by so fast you’d think the editors had a hot dinner waiting. Any heartfelt moment is immediately buried under a mountain of cartoonish antics. Emotional stakes? Never heard of them.

-> Highlights (Such As They Are):

Bunny’s internal monologues are gold if you enjoy secondhand embarrassment.

Jae-yeol and Bunny actually have chemistry (an endangered species here).

Every once in a while, the show remembers it could be about self-esteem and body image... before getting distracted by another "accidental fall into a guy’s arms" scene.

-> Verdict:
Crushology 101 is colorful, chaotic, and as deep as a puddle. It’s the perfect background noise for folding laundry or wondering what more interesting dramas you could be watching. It’s just another webtoon adaptation you forgot you watched.

This drama is like chewing gum, the more i watched - the more flavor it lost.

I'm going to be honest when I started this drama I was quite excited because while watching hierarchy (despite how mediocre it was) I personally wanted them together in another project as leads and honestly I want to take that back after watching this horrible actualization of my wish.

Cons:
1. Overloaded with clichés : I can usually overlook frequently used tropes in dramaland when executed well but it was almost like the scriptwriter and director were competing to see how many tropes they could fit into a single show. At some point certain things didn't add up and I honestly didn't have the energy to care.

2. Bunny and her boys or as usual Bunny and THE boy? : I absolutely hate it when writers give us the perfect second/third leads but make the character end up with the male lead simply because HE IS THE MAIN LEAD UGH!

3. Lacking chemistry: sadly i did not feel any significant chemistry from the final couple and I frankly could not see why they liked each other besides each other's looks. They also sounded like little kids in elementary for majority of the show and it was so difficult to watch.

4. This show also distinctly felt like a teenager's fantasy after getting rejected by their crush, like why did all the popular guys suddenly take notice of her after she got humiliated and dumped her bf?

5. There were also not much to develop in terms of characters, their backgrounds/personalities/relationships are all pretty 2D and have no depth as such and so there was no personality development or growth.

6. Introducing a New guy: Now we already know she ends up with someone else but they still brought up yet another contender from the past who is also MADLY in love with her YET only confesses to her when he notices she's in a possible relationship? Like whats up with the men in this drama acting out impulsively like men in in love only when they get jealous??

7. Acting: Like many have pointed out both actors are pretty mediocre at conveying emotions via acting but esp the FL, she had absolutely no facial movements, every single shot she either looked like a lost child looking for their parent or like she was spacing out.

8. Storyline: Felt like a typical web drama/soap opera was being marketed as a high budget coming of age show for drama lovers and it was genuinely difficult to watch because I forgot it was airing every other week

Pros:

1. Pretty visuals

2. Supporting cast: Ji-won was a great guy and watching him and yeol's friend was the highlight of every episode


Conclusion:

All in all just like with the chewing gum analogy, if you want to chew just for the sake of chewing something, similarly if you want to watch anything just for the sake of it this drama is perfect. I watched this drama as it was being aired and honestly it was very very difficult to complete but maybe if you binge it might be better.
