### Summary
"Romance 101" is a charming romantic comedy following Bareum Jung, a sincere but romantically clueless college student who meticulously plans every aspect of her life except for dating. Motivated by a crush on the handsome and friendly Shin Jaehyun, she joins his programming club, hoping to learn about love. Her journey, however, is complicated by frequent run-ins with Jaehyun's bad-tempered friend, Yuyeon Na, forming the story's central love triangle. While generally loved for its lighthearted humor and Bareum's earnest-yet-naive character, the series has recently generated divisive reactions. A recent chapter featured a male lead's actions being criticized by readers as "manipulative gaslighting," which prompted backlash and caused some to find the protagonist herself less likable. Despite the controversy, current reader comments indicate a growing appreciation for the developing relationship between Bareum and Yuyeon, praising the narrative for resolving their initial misunderstanding quickly rather than forcing an "enemies to lovers" trope. Fans continue to praise the manhwa's expressive artwork as it chronicles Bareum's awkward and heartwarming education in romance.
