Story
After her previous heartbreaking breakup, and a love disappointment from her coworker, Yumi, an office worker whose love cells have fallen into a coma, meets Goo Woong. And that is when her cells start working hard to make the relationship work and bring a happy ending for Yumi.
Korean Drama Yumi’s Cells has animation as its basis and brings out memories of ‘Inside Out’ and still, it makes it work. The cell part is adorable and funny and essential for the story, as it gives the viewer a glimpse of Yumi’s thoughts and decisions. It also helps to understand more the story and the relationship.
In addition, the animation was well made, with bright colors, cute characters, and funny dialogues.
As for the story, the main plot is focusing on the romantic story of Yumi, which is cute, sweet, swoon-worthy, well-paced, and realistic at the same time. The couple had chemistry as well, which boosted the reliability of the story. The comedy moments were, furthermore, nicely embedded in the story and pretty funny.
In addition, the drama that was added to the love story was not under the cliche premises, but it was genuine, and the outcome was something that can happen with a real relationship, though it left a lot of room for the second season.
