Hello gender conventions
This drama has a whole lot of stuff that where sweet, colorful and fluffy, a bunch of interesting characters, varied pace and shows quite a few interesting ways to handle awkward situations. To be honest I liked the characters more than their cells but the cells where a very interesting and important touch for this show.
The cells are these adorable small Inside out meets smurfs combination that do a great job showing the complexity to a persons thoughts as well as what stress can do to ones mind. However they also did one h*** of a job showing how strong gender conventions as well as the man as norm are rooted in our society without making it to obvious. Either that or this was an attempt of showing a person who is non binary without telling us, since Yumis cells where both masculine and feminine while Woongs cells where all masculine or AI. It was lovely to see that Umie was allowed to have a naughty cell, but put up against the dinosaur in Woongs head, Yumies little slightly annoying naughty cell is way easyer to control. So again Men you should probably speak up and ask them to tame the beasts in next season. This reflects well on the conventions we meet in society so I can not complain about it too much but will say that it does not have to be that way...
All in all it was an okay watch, some parts where more predictable than others and they did make me feel for them...
