Crushology 101 episodes 5 & 6 review
In episodes 5 & 6 of Crushology 101, Ji-won finally brings his feelings to the fore. Until now, he was silently yearning for Bunny's attention, but now he has stepped up to put more effort into showing his affection for her.
Jae-yeol, on the other hand, is happy to see Bunny beginning to reciprocate his feelings. He begins to smile more and look after Bunny. The introduction of the mysterious football player has added to the list of admirers of Bunny. His dialogue that Bunny hasn't changed certainly raises curiosity about how he knows Bunny.
Just like the previous episodes, this week's episodes also showcase a light and breezy story for the characters. The development is slow, and there are several slowed-down shots to capture the tiniest change of emotions on the characters' faces.
With the men vying for her attention and her friends trying to set her up with anyone who shows the slightest interest, one cannot help but feel that Bunny, as a character, is shown to be of importance when there is attention on her. Her academics are praised, but only momentarily. That praise often translates to an intensification of romantic feelings when it comes from Jae-yeol or Ji-won.
While it is not wrong or incorrect to look after your crushes' needs, constantly trying to come to their rescue is somewhat off-putting. It is imperative to create a space to nudge them and guide them, but bringing things on a platter constantly is not the right approach. It might come off as a support showcase in the beginning, but eventually it only becomes an act of spoon-feeding.
