From the beginning I was rooting for Yumi and throughout the show I could really relate to her. Even if the situations she was in hadn't happened to me before, I could just empathize with how she was feeling and everything. One of the best things about the show (and I think what really makes it special/worth watching) is the cells and how they offer so much insight into Yumi and Woong. Plus, they are SO cute and entertaining and really just make sense, like how one cell gets bigger in the New Year, when a person makes a New Year's resolution.
Yumi's prime cell, the one that really defines her is the Love Cell, and I really related to how she put her partner first and prioritized him. But when Yumi and Woong had their first fight, I was so proud of her for putting herself first and speaking her mind because that is so important.
The show made me feel so many emotions. It was more a slice of life show than a traditional romance kdrama which I wasn't expecting, but it doesn't get boring because the cells are so entertaining and they really make the show. You see the characters as they go through everyday life, like going on their first trip together and the conflicts that arise from just doing normal things. And when they encounter issues in their relationship, it was all so realistic, like having miscommunications and not being honest with each other.
Maybe this is a spoiler but don't expect a "happy ending".
I haven't read the webtoon before, so the ending came out of left field for me but I think they are going to be multiple seasons for Yumi's Cells so I get it, I do. Despite knowing that now, it does feel tough to end the first season like this. Initially when I saw Woong, I wasn't even attached to him and their first date was so awkward and terrible.... it was like the worst first date ever. But then he really grew on me and they were a really cute couple. I liked how his cells and the way that his inner city was built was so different from Yumi's and reflected his personality and the way that he thought and processed things.
I'm really rooting for Yumi and her happiness.
All the feels.
