“Crash Course in Romance” broke its own highest viewership rating with the dream-like romantic kiss between Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho.
In the 10th episode of tvN’s “Crash Course in Romance”, which aired on February 12, Haeng Seon (Jeon Do Yeon) and Chi Yeol (Jung Kyung Ho), who became the main characters of the scandal, chose a heartbreaking breakup while hiding their feelings for each other. The scene where Hae Yi (Noh Yoon Seo) revealed that Haeng Seon was her aunt, not her mother, broke down the huge wall that blocked the romance between the two, making viewers look forward to further development.
The ratings for episode 10 were 16% on average in the Seoul metropolitan area and 18.1% on average nationwide, breaking the drama’s own highest viewership ratings. tvN’s target male and female 2049 ratings also rose significantly. It recorded an average of 7.6% in the metropolitan area, a real-time highest of 8.6%, and a national average of 6.4% and a real-time highest of 7.2%, continuing the popularity. With this episode, the ratings not only broke its own record in the metropolitan area, nationwide, and 2049 viewership ratings, but also took first place in viewership ratings in the same time zone across all channels, proving the explosive response of viewers toward Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho’s romance.
Having a long-awaited break, Chi Yeol had a drink with his friend Jong Ryeol (Kim Da Heun) whom he met by chance. Two friends had an honest conversation after a long time.
Jong Ryeol later contacted Jae Woo, who was on Chi Yeol’s recent call list, to take the drunk Chi Yeol home. Jae Woo helped him get home safely. Falling asleep at home, Chi Yeol saw Haeng Seon, who he wanted to see in his sleep, standing in front of him. He said, “I’ll become a bad guy just once. It is a dream.” He took the hand of Haeng Seon, slowly approached her and kissed her. Their kiss gave an extreme romantic tension.
After that day, when he couldn’t get in touch with Chi Yeol, Dong Hee eventually went to Haeng Seon and asked if he could be reached, and Haeng Seon, worried, remembered the mixed coffee she and Chi Yeol drank together at the campsite and headed there. She found him at the fishing spot at the campsite. The two of them visited Suja’s restaurant. Chi Yeol revealed that it was a restaurant where his benefactor used to work, and confessed everything.
He said that he seemed to be confused about their relationship and said, “I have to go back now. Now, to my place.” They revealed their inner feelings. Haeng Seon shed tears, saying, “My heart hurts so much. I must have liked him a lot.”
The aftermath of the confession brought many changes to Chi Yeol. Song Joon Ho moved to The Pride Academy and took over the classroom where Chi Yeol was teaching. Chi Yeol could not hide his bitterness at the fact that the teaching assistants also quit the institute, and eventually decided to leave The Pride Academy. Hearing this news, Hae Yi couldn’t help but be more disturbed.
Hae Yi, who noticed that Haeng Seon and Chi Yeol liked each other, stood in front of the live broadcast camera and revealed the truth, “My mom is not my (real) mom, but my aunt. She’s single.”
There was also a surprise twist in the epilogue. The kiss, which was thought to be a dream, was not a dream but a reality. The epilogue, completed with a steamy kiss between Haeng Seon and Chi Yeol, once again made viewers hold their breath, stimulating more excitement.
“Crash Course in Romance” is broadcast every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 pm KST.
