Yumi's Cells Season 2

I'm disappointed that they didn't end up together

This would've been my most favorite drama of the year. I loved the chemistry between Yumi and Ba Bi sooo much. I knew from the webtoon that they wouldn't end up together. But I didn't lose hope. I hate the writer so much. She shouldn't have ruined the character of Ba Bi. If she didn't, I would've said, BA BI IS THE BEST MALE LEAD IN THE WHOLE KDRAMA LAND. But I'm heart broken. Rating it 7 for the scenes I've loved. I'm not even looking forward to watching the 3rd season, if there'll be one.

People might say, this is supposed to be educative that one has got only him/herself. I'm a simple girl. I watch drama mainly for the chemistry. So lesson doesn't really matter to me. I felt sad for Woong too. poor guy loved Yumi very much. If he ended up with Yumi, I wouldn't be this sad.

My review is SOLELY based on the show not the webtoon.

I have not read the Webtoon, so I can only write based on how the drama, not on how well it matched the original story. That said, I know some of the plot points that were supposed to happen.

I will say the actors made the show come alive, I think they did a great job playing their roles. I know Kim Go Eun is a great actress and she delivered, but I am particularly impressed with Jinyoung's acting. I think he did above and beyond acting as Yu Babi, he made it hard to me to see him apart from his character.

But for the story, I think it was a bit lacking. Like many shows it started off great, it was delightful and I found myself laughing from episode to episode, I was excited for Fridays/Saturdays because new episodes came out, but after the inevitable break-up episode, the show was not as entertaining. To say the least, there was a push and pull between the characters and the show drags out a bit. That being said even if the show dragged a bit towards the cells made the show worth it. It was interesting to see them take on how humans interact and operate, and the cells were honestly the comedic relief that was needed. The cells made the show 70% worth it for me in the end.

I do think that there were some flaws with the characters that made the show frustrating but still engaging. I can't say I agree with all of Yumi's decisions, watching her at times was a bit frustrating. But I guess it just shows that she is human and not supposed to be the perfect main character, and I can appreciate that. And also Babi was very vague from start to finish, even from his cells' point of view, there is not much to Babi, and I still think that after finishing the show.

I don't want to give the ending away, but I felt like it was lackluster. I know how the Webtoon ends and I think the writers wanted to make the ending follow the Webtoon, but also not follow Webtoon exactly. But the way that the show ended was unsatisfying. I know that some people who read the Webtoon thought it was a good ending, but as a sole watcher of the drama, it was just bland. It had some sweet elements, but I think it could have been executed better.

Honestly, I think this show, at least this season, was just a 7.5, it was an original idea, but it wasn't executed well. This is nothing against the original creator of the Webtoon, but honestly speaking, even if I read the webtoon I think I would still rate it the same.

Overall the cells made the show worth it, but about halfway through the show it dragged and was a bit frustrating.

Unsatisfying conclusion

I very much enjoyed the story overall, especially (since I'm a guy) how both of her boyfriends were generally kind and thoughtful. Many times they actually anticipated Yu-mi's unvoiced concerns and brought them up to discuss. It rankled me to see Yu-mi's immaturity in this season, when she was so strict about boyfriends who are "swayed" even for a moment. Better communication and effort might have rekindled her relationship with Ba-bi.

Of course, you never know how (hypothetically) her friendships with both of her ex-boyfriends might blossom into a romantic relationship once again. But I'm sorry, the ending was thoroughly unsatisfying and reminded me of the terrible ending of "When the Weather is Fine," where no one ends up together or seemingly very happy.

To end a drama series with a firm statement that the leading lady is strong and independent and "don't need no man to make her happy" is just the reason we left American television. It's a good reminder to me that, in the future, I'll carefully select what dramas I watch based on user reviews after they have completed.

The drama was a fun ride, but I would never watch it again because I know how it ends.

total disappointment

you guys really like this season yumi cells because i thought it was a total disaster, firstly Goo Woong had his reasons he was going through a lot of difficulties and he didn't want yumi to get involved, but they went their separate ways, yumi was even in a nice relationship with babi but he just started having feelings for someone else, from that moment on i didn't like him "because most people like him because he's handsome" best thing yumi did was break up, but then she came back with babi (from that moment on I thought about giving up watching it because it was very frustrating to watch it) I felt really sorry for Goo Woong because he really wanted to get back together with yumi. ok, the ending really made me happy because it gave that impression that that couple from the first season will come back but another guy appears (according to the webtoon it's the guy that yumi is going to marry when in the first season he showed a four with yumi wedding photo) it was a total frustration this season.

Kind of a letdown

OK I watched this in about a week and I wasn't hooked until the third or fourth episode. My eyes fall out over the male leads who are already two of my faves. Why she had trouble choosing is beyond me. Take 'em both.

But what puzzles me is this: what the hell was she pissed about with either guy? Does she know anything about life? I had a great long marriage with an angel and now he is one but if you think there was never a moment of jealousy or doubt you're crazy and/or stupid. And she held them to higher standards than she did herself. Unfair.

And the real question is why did either of them want her in the first place because she's not that HOT looking and she is terminally BORING!!! BORING!! Jesus put you to sleep for a month.

I expected more.

This might be the worst romance drama I have ever seen in my life..

First of all, let me make it clear, everything I'm gonna say is NOT towards the actors/actresses!!

If I didn't read the webtoon beforehand I would have dropped this mess of a drama immediately.. Tbh I only keep watching till the end because of some actors/actresses. I don't have much to say/add anymore as I already expressed most of my concerns ( mostly about the main character) in my first review. And in general I just don't like how the story evolved throughout the show compared to the og, While I'm well aware that stories tend to get changed and adjusted a lot when it gets adapted into a drama/movie but they could have done a better job imo. It is just soo unenjoyable and not only is this a very poor adapation of a webtoon, but this also might be the worst romance drama I have ever seen in my life. So my advice would be to either read the webtoon OR watch the drama, not both, or else you could be very disappointed like me, or if you really wanna do both, go in with the mindset that they're very different and might not be what you've expected.

I guess how you percept it differs from person to person and it could also be just me, cuz everyone else seems to love it lol (which could also be cuz they didn't read the webtoon idk..) so please take everything I've said with a grain of salt, thanks! :)

Disappointing

When it became obvious near the end, that this was just turning into a set-up for a sequel, I lost al patience with it. It is not nearly as charming as the first one was. This included a lot more violence - yes, the cells got violent and it didn't add much to the story. BaBi struck me as a nice guy but boring - he's a company man with not much personality of his own. I loved Woong's quirkiness, his ambition, his creativity. Babi was smooth and dull. And at the end, neither won Yumi, whom I decided was as boring as BaBi. I don't get why these guys are falling for here, there doesn't seem to be much to her other than - well, the cells. Another series that should have quit while it was ahead.

I was so excited all throughout! But, in the end… ??‍♂️

Really.?!? That is where the 2 seasons of watching this series ultimately led to? 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is one of those stories which I feel like it was plot manipulated to have a not so happy ending. (Like that annoyingly st*** Love Alarm.)

So she has another love prospect in the end. Promising? Or, just completely futile and pointless, really? Woong and Babi were actually great guys. But I guess neither of them was good enough for Yumi.

What’s the point of all the exciting, wonderful, heartfelt, giddy, priceless, redemptive moments, when in the end, it would just lead to being alone again.

I revoked the nearly perfect ratings I gave these series just because of that finale. It’s gonna go down in history as one of the series that I would have loved to watch again and again, but can never do so. It was actually a great and fun story, but that finale is just too disappointing to relive.

You can watch it for 박진영 only:)

Yumi's character is 쓰레기! Sorry but it is what it is ! Watched only because of BaBi!! He is such a mature character who supports you, lets you grow, respects you. In short, Yu BaBi is so perfect! But Yumi? She is so immature! She likes breaking up with her boyfriends like eating breakfast! Didn't like her character at all! Really dissatisfied! Sorry! Main character wasn't good enough! Didn't give any excitement or thrill! Didn't make me happy!
But side characters were pretty good. Like YiDa,Ruby,Wung ,cells and others! I really liked the cells. They were so cute. Specially that Naughty cell and sensitivity cell! Oh forgot to mention Control Z ! Funny guy!
Frankly speaking, I liked everyone but Yumi! Since it was the main character it should have been a steady one! She really doesn't have peace of mind! She, herself doesn't know what she wants! And that makes her life complicated!

A MASSIVE LETDOWN, poor writing, and even worse new male lead!

After the interesting 1st season, the second one was disappointing to say the least.

I can only name like a few positive things about this season. The biggest one is when this irritating Bobi guy weren't around. I just can't understand why people on MDL keep saying, they're on his side and he's the best. Maybe all of you are GOT7 fangirls, I don't know, but if that's the case, don't rate Kdramas, please!

They had ZERO chemistry with Yumi, it was a physical relationship since day 1. The guy acted like a typical perfect, handsome and kind dude, but he was anything but that. HE WAS A REAL PLAYER! He may look handsome, but Yumi were still in a relationship when he started flirting with her in the 1st season. You just don't put your coat on a woman, especially if her boyfriend is there, doesn't matter if he's drunk or not. And when they broke up, the first thing he did was asked her out when she only broke up with Woong like a couple of days ago. Or at least, I that's what I thought, because we hardly got any info about how many months passed. I didn't get why Yumi started dating with him so soon, anyway. She didn't have anyone for 3 years after her 1st boyfriend cheated on him, and they were together for 7 years, I think.

The other thing is that the minute they started dating, Bobi already was on a speed dial, I thought he's gonna do the nasty with her in the car. Who the hell does that? I'm not a prude at all, but he was a completely different character after they started dating. And let's not talk about the fact that he basically cheated on Yumi. YES, it was (emotional) cheating. If you don't feel anything for another woman, you just don't move away because you're afraid of seeing her again. How old are you, 5?

And this wasn't even the worst thing he did with Yumi! He lied for a whole week about where he was, he broke his leg, but didn't tell her girlfriend, because he didn't want her to worry? Then, 1 minute later, asked her to marry him, and she said yes? WHAT THE ACTUAL BLOODY HELL? Who the heck does that? Both of them were crazy, for sure.

You can say whatever you want about Woong, he wasn't perfect, no one is, but he never cheated on Yumi, and he only lied about his company. That's a fixable problem. It's understandable why he felt, he's not good enough for her, even tho Yumi never cared about that, and honestly, their whole break up was nonsense. If Yumi wait for 5 minute, he would've said yes to her proposal.

Honestly, I can't believe I say this, but Ruby was the best character on the show and with Control Z they were so funny.😂

If there's gonna be another season, I'm not gonna watch it, unless if it's about Yumi and Woong, because I don't see the point of watching another season with another guy.

I already skipped most of the animated parts because it was boring and irritating. It only felt fresh and original in the 1st season. The writers overused it, and we saw the same scenes multiple times as well, that was also ridiculous.

I don't even remember when was the last time a Kdrama made me this frustrated.

Big potential, big letdown!

spoiler

I would keep watching it if it was not for the romance with Yumi and babi which is going to end. I was hoping that the ML would not crush her heart . In the end he does. yes she may find another guy but I was all for the babi cause of his sweet nature. It tunes out in story they him hurt her in the end. I understand the it is 14 esp and i was only on 8 but they could have made it last even after 8 just with a little help with challenges in life like any other couple. I do like the acing in this. Don't get me wrong this is a great show and i was so into it from the start and i do have my preference as to what i like. This does not end the way i would want it to. This is my personal pref at how i rate this.

The cute cartoons in her head cant make me like Yumi

I will keep this relatively short and not focus on the cells because their humour and cuteness just distract from what is a really depressing drama. Yumi is annoying insecure wants the perfect man (they dont exist not even for your cute cells) and as soon as she gets to a point of difficulty in relationship breaks up for selfish and unrealistic reasons. She is annoying. The fact she goes to serial relationship intruder guy in S2 just makes her more unlikeable. The fact she still spends emotion and time on guy1 when in flown blown relationship with guy2 in S2 makes her ...yes even more unlikeable. The fact she breaks up with guy2 mainly because of another woman's interest in him while she has been trotting off to see guy1 througout their relationship makes her again yes...even more unlikeable.
The fact she has to then go to young good looking third guy with no thought for the 2 broken hearts in her wake yes you guessed it makes her even more unlikeable.

People say its not about the romance its all about her and her growth. Well it is totally about the romances through which we clearly see yes it clearly is all about her at least in her mind. As for growth ? All i saw was history repeating itself

Finally why do so many people give this kind of unhappy bad behaviour a pass by assuming it is realistic. None of it is realistic thats why we like dramas, so dramas like this where selfish behaviour is dressed up as realistic slice of life are just a waste IMO. This show turns out to be a pointless story of a woman getting into and ending relationships with nice guys who really like her. Unless you like cartoons and the psychology of a flighty selfish insincere woman who thinks shes always right then there is no real point to it. Sorry it just crystallised that way in my head the more it went on the more the cute funny cartoons couldnt distract from her flawed behaviour. One season would have been more than enough to get the message.
