Is Crushology 101 renewed for season 2? What can we expect from a sequel?

As of this writing, Crushology 101 has not been renewed for a second season. The makers have seemingly concluded the lead couple and the side couple's stories in the finale episode.

The Ji-won and Kot-nim romance was certainly a surprise, but the series concluded their stories well, at least in terms of their dating lives.

If a sequel does happen, viewers can expect Bunny and Jae-yeol's relationship to go through another roller coaster ride as they adjust to their new jobs and lives in the city as professionally working adults.

Additionally, a sequel will also give us further insight into Bo-bae and Dong-ha's story as Dong-ha comes to terms with the demands of Bo-bae's acting career.

With a sequel for Crushology 101, it will be certainly interesting to see how the characters adjust to the next stage in their romance and professional lives.
