[2023] Crash Course in Romance - Ep 01 (You and I, The Intersection of Two Universes)

We meet Nam Haeng-Seon and Choi Chi-Yeol in the first few minutes of the episode before we get to meet these 3 HS kids. One of them is Nam Hae-E (Roh Yoon-Seo).  I didn't catch the names of the other 2, a boy and girl.  As expected there's a rich kid, this time a female, who likes to taunt Hae-E and her 2 friends about how well they didn't do on their exams.

The rich girl gets picked up from school by her mother and gossips about how it sounds to her like the kids screwed up on their mock exams.  The girl says she might have the highest score this year.  Her mother gets excited but then tones it down so as not to jinx the outcome of the actual exam.  Her mother says she has bad news for her and the kid said she's "feeling generous" so she'll allow her to say it.  Her mother confesses that she couldn't get her a front seat at the exam class and the girl flips.

After watching a bit more, Hae-E's guy friend is Sun-Jae and it seems he's got a little crush on her.

Forgot to mention that Lee Bong-Ryun is in this. She was in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

Haeng-Seon (who runs a side dish store) is Hae-E's mother.

After one of Chi-Yoel's classes, he's mobbed by the female students on his way to the elevator.  There's a girl who yells out that she made cookies for him and he hits the "close doors" button.  The girl, unphased by the rudeness, doesn't dissuade her from pursuing him.  

As he's walking out of the elevator, he's called by one of the school's employees.  Chi Yeol's assistant tries to mouth her name to him and he ends up calling her the wrong name.  She's annoyed but tells him she has a friend she wants to set him up with.  He politely declines by telling her he'd rather meet someone naturally.  The woman says her friend is a pianist and she's gorgeous but Chi Yeol still says "I'm good" and walks away with his assistant who says "I'm sorry" as he walks away.

This episode brings a "sticky situation" for Chi Yoel and a secret about Hae-E and her mother.  

Good drama so far!
