Maybe a waste of time? Maybe not...
Starts off strong, keeps you watching just to see what happens next but not necessarily in a "this is a really good drama" way. More like "wait... who is she going to end up with?" Keep in mind I did not watch the first season since the reviews weren't too great and I have not read the webtoon/comic it's based off of, but I decided to give this season a chance since I wanted to see Jinyoung and Kim Go-eun together. I was still able to understand and pick things up pretty quickly despite not having seen the first season.Positives:
- The cells were interesting and mostly fun to watch, although they can be a bit "in the way" when you just want to see what happens next to Yumi and Babi. Fun to see how they visually represent emotions and feelings mostly everyone has gone through. It does make typically short scenes drag on though.
- Acting is great, whole cast played their roles well.
- Nice to see Jinyoung and Shin Ye-eun together again, even if it wasn't the best of circumstances.
- Cute moments, heart fluttering moments, funny moments, dramatic moments
- Keeps you engaged for the most part
- The soundtrack for this show is great and fits well
Negatives:
- Some scenes drag on for a while since they have to show how the cells react to the situations
- Can obviously tell it's based on a webtoon given the way things play out. Ending is a set-up for another season?
- The show makes you go through two whole seasons with two different guys, only to have both of them discarded at the end in order to set up another love interest for the next season.
- By the end of the show, Babi and Woong are still not over Yumi, yet she's already off trying to find another guy. I wish they could've at least had Babi and/or Woong move on or find another love interest. Just seems weird to go through entire seasons with these characters and their relationships only to have them tossed to the side anyway (other than being swayed for a moment, Babi was such a great guy, and Woong seemed okay too despite being kind of stalkerish and overly-obsessed with Yumi, yet neither of them get a real happy ending).
- Some unrealistic moments that scream "webtoon plot progression" and unnecessary side plots. Woong suddenly becoming successful and rich, Ruby and Control Z's sudden relationship that I didn't really care for, editor Ahn Dae-young's plotline that was admittedly funny but not really necessary.

Yumi Cells 2 was a very cute watch and I will cherish all the sweet moments :)
After moving on from her heartbreak, we see Yumi (Kim Go Eun) and her colorful cells deal with the courage to step out on her own as a writer as her new romance blossoms with Yu Babi (Park Jin Young).The arc that bridges Yumi Cells 1 and 2 felt natural. In season 1, Babi has been around as her coworker but he never was presented as another love interest option for Yumi. So after breaking up with Woong and we see her moving on, Babi’s presence just fits as someone who is there for Yumi. The flow of both relationships were just as refreshing because Woong and Babi’s personalities were very different. I also appreciate seeing a more dynamic journey of Yumi as a writer since it was always been her dream.
Although I think season 1's cells were more charming, there are still hilarious, emotional moments. Also, surprisingly naughty moments between Yumi and Babi's little cells, I love those! XD That's a testament to how vibrant Yumi and Babi's chemistry were. I love every time he convinces her in his blunt and swoony manner, and when he was so sincere when he takes care of her. What I don't understand is the annoying side characters and the conflicts that seem to stem from out-of-character decisions, which makes me upset till the ending. Other than that, Yumi Cells 2 was cute and I will cherish all the sweet moments! :)

a never ending story
my feelings after watching this drama are frustration and relieve.this drama focuses on what happens inside ones head when one needs to take decisions. through the "cells" which are not really cells, we are given the opportunity to experience what the characters feel from the inside. some cells are really cells (foot cells, hand cells, grease cells, yup!) and some are not: they are aspect of the character's personality (hunger, sensitivity, lust, ego, etc.).
inside (yumi) the main character's world, we get to see how she will manage her love life, then her career. this idea was genius, but I feel like it wasn't exploited to its full extend, and that's a shame, really. but this is entertaining, and I watched it all in 2 days. even if I didn't like the endding, I would recommend this for its uniqueness.
watch it with friends or family. there is too much frustration and reasons to argue with a lover.

Double Standards
I tolerated the behavior in Season 1 (which I gave a 10 because it was fresh and new to me) but I can’t stand the fact that Yumi is soooo picky with men! She has some valid reasons for breaking up in the past but her issues with Babi were totally unfair especially since she didn’t even talk them out with him. No one is perfect. I know it’s essentially her story but she’s very stubborn and has her ways about her. I dropped it because I feel like Babi didn’t get a fair chance especially since he was the most caring of her bfs. I don’t wanna waste my time.Was this review helpful to you?

Aire fresco y aprendizaje sobre el amor.
Gran drama. Sentir mariposas, se puede ver la evolución de Yumi tanto a nivel personal como sentimental. Animaciones entretenidas que le dan un toque especial a la historia y que ayuda a comprender de una manera más íntima a los personajes. También destacaría el respeto entre los personajes, ha sido un poco de aire fresco ver cómo entienden los límites, el tiempo en recuperarse y sanar heridas, además del enfoque sobre el amor sano y la necesidad de tranquilidad en la vida. Recomendado!!Was this review helpful to you?
Incrível
Yumi's cells foi uma drama que me conquistou e essa temporada não foi diferente.Nessa temporada deu pra ver a evolução da Yumi tanto na vida profissional quanto em sua vida amorosa, no quanto ela pensava em si agora.
Eu admiro muito a Yumi em certas decisões, desde largar algo certo e confortável como era seu atual emprego para se jogar em algo que ainda era incerto e que de certa forma "apenas" ela acreditava em seu potencial , até a decisão de terminar um relacionamento quando viu que não estava mais fluindo.
Pra mim Yumi's cells é uma verdadeira obra da psicologia kkk , uma história de relacionamento realista porque relacionamentos terminam, paramos de amar, começamos a amar outra pessoa e tá tudo bem.
Vale muito a pena assistir .

Yumi's Cells ✨
Vamos lá: Yumi sempre foi sobre ela certo? A gente já tá na segunda temporada e já entendemos sobre isso. E esses dois episódios finais só nos mostrou que os relacionamentos que ela teve (Woong e Babi) transformaram e moldaram ela para o que ela se tornou no final. Uma coisa das quais amo sobre Yumi é a realidade que ela passa sabe? Tudo que ela sofreu, passou, o desemprego, seguir atrás do sonho, namoros e etc. Nunca poderia me indentificar mais com a história dela porque é real. E essa conexão que ela fala foi só por conta dos relacionamentos saudáveis que ela teve com os dois e os manteve, tem muita gente que tem amizade com o(a) ex por aí (e por incrível que pareça as pessoas acham inacreditável isso) mas também foi por eles e pelas tubulações que passou no caminho que Yumi cresceu tanto e amadureceu! Eu amei o final, ele ficou bem fechadinho e apesar de querer uma terceira temporada, eu também penso eu deixar a agenda aberta pros atores fazerem outros projetos, mas acredito que falo em nome da maioria dos telespectadores que querem ver nossa Yumi feliz certo? Com alguém que ela mereça de todo o coração. Quero ver as portas abrirem involuntariamente e que o amor entre de uma vez. Kim go Eun interpreta tão bem, sempre fui admiradora do trabalho dela, mas Yumi é realmente incrível, todo o drama e a mistura com a animação deixa tudo de forma tão única. Tantas emoções e tantos pensamentos. Foi uma segunda temporada recheada de surpresas boas e ruins mas que no final trouxe a felicidade de volta pra a pessoa que mais importa nesse drama, Yumi.Was this review helpful to you?

Preciso de mais!
Foi muito bom acompanhar a trajetória da Yumi. Dessa vez foi a Yumi com o Babi, que foram incríveis e muito bem representados por Go Eun e Jinyoung.Amei ver o crescimento da Yumi, em seus relacionamentos, quanto em sua vida profissional.
É claro que teve umas coisas desnecessárias, mas deu bastante entretenimento.
Assim como me decepcionei com o Woong na primeira temporada, acabei me decepcionando com o Babi na segunda. Mas como a própria Yumi disse: "Um rompimento não significa necessariamente o fim de uma conexão com alguém!" E ambos apoiam muito a Yumi como escritora!
Vou sentir muita saudade das células, amo cada cena que elas aparecem.
Eu quero muito uma terceira temporada, não apenas pelo Soon Rok, mas pela Yumi e pelas células maravilhosas. Eu realmente desejo ver a Yumi em um vestido de noiva!

La reseña de esta temporada no varía mucho de la reseña de la temporada uno dado que la serie no ha cambiado mucho. Las escenas con las células me siguieron pareciendo más graciosas y más amenas que las escenas con las personas reales. Sin embargo, en esta temporada, los momentos en los que los personajes son planos fueron muchos menos y únicamente fue Yumi en ciertas situaciones, lo cual hizo que la historia fuera más entretenida y no tan pesada.
Algo que me gustó más que en la temporada pasada es que las situaciones que enfrenta Yumi son incluso más cotidianas lo que ayuda a identificarse mucho con el personaje y con la historia y también ayuda a que se haga más amena.
Sin embargo, algo que no me gustó, bueno, hubiera preferido que hubieran profundizado más en las células de Ba-bi. Sus células apenas salen y son momentos muy limitados por lo que se me quedó corto en ese sentido. También me cabreó mucho algunas situaciones y decisiones que tomó Yumi porque no era capaz de entenderla (Bueno, sí la entendía pero prefería que hubiera tomado otra decisión).

The Worst And The Best Boyfriend Ever
Menurut aku, karakter Yoo Babi ini dibutuhkan sama semua orang (eh lebih tepatnya yang aku butuhkan tuh sosok seperti Yoo Babi) karena Yoo Babi tuh support systemnya Yumi untuk menekuni menulis lagi, Yumi jadi yakin dengan potensi dirinya gegara Yoo Babi. Lagian siapa sih yang bakal nolak dapet pasangan yang bisa support dan menyadarkan kita dengan potensi yang gak bisa kita lihat sendiri? Pasti impian semua orang, kan? (eh maksudnya Yumi & Yoo Babi tuh my relationship goals, pokoknya mah gak bisa diganggu gugat).Yoo Babi ini luar biasa sih, gak semua orang bisa kayak Yoo Babi, makanya aku mikir Yoo Babi itu yang terbaik tetapi bisa jadi yang terburuk juga. Penasaran sama pemikiran writernimnya, kenapa bisa-bisanya menciptakan karakter Yoo Babi menjadi perfect boyfriend ever sekaligus the worst boyfriend ever sih?
Endingnya juga realistis sih, kadang emang mungkin kita hanya ditakdirkan untuk singgah tapi tidak untuk bersama. Positifnya, Yumi bisa jadi penulis handal dan populer berkat support dari Yoo Babi juga. Negatifnya, Yumi dan Yoo Babi tidak ditakdirkan bersama. wkwk.

2nde tentative : aussi décevante !!
J'aime bcp le ML (Jinyoung) mais la narration est insupportable.1/ les animations cellulaires peuvent être une bonne idée (à petite dose) mais à forte dose, cela devient insupportable.
2/ La poker face de Kim Go Eun et son manque d'expression ne me permettent pas d'adhérer à l'histoire.
3/ La rupture dans l'avant dernier épisode n'est pas crédible (pas de signe avant-coureur, pas de réelle explication, pas de scène de rupture).
4/ les allers et retours dans le temps incessants perturbent l'attention.
Bref, je ne suis allée au bout qu'avec bcp bcp de zapping, et je n'y reviendrais pas !

Storia deludentissima e triste di una bella zittella ...
Spreco di attori bellissimi e bravi, di animazione simpatica ed accattivante, mezzi e del mio tempo per una storia del cavolo.Ma che due scatole ... allora fin qui mi sono sorbita la storia delle cellule di plastica e legno di una ragazza che, a parte circumnavigare con il suo naso il suo ombelico, non è capace di fare altro?
Certo, è vero che al mondo esistono donne così frigide e sciocche da non sapere leggere nella realtà, da non essere capaci di amore gratuito, di amicizia vera, disinteressata, e usare tutto e tutti solo per non dover sostenere il peso della solitudine.
Ma era il caso di dedicare 2 stagioni di 14 episodi ciascuna per raccontare questa tristissima storia?
E la sua affermazione come scrittrice è un gioco che vale la candela, il suo orgoglio ... il suo ego che la disumanizzano sempre più ... sono valori da sottolineare?
E qualcuno (leggo nei commenti entusiasti) spera in una 3a stagione? Ma a che pro?
La sceneggiatura cmq è ben scritta ... infatti già al 4° episodio (mi pare), lì dove lascia il lavoro al rientro di una vacanza con il fidanzato N.2, senza avvertirlo, con lui che la cerca e cade dalle nuvole ... era palese che stavano parlando dell'ennesimo segnale di una persona rigida ed egoista, ma, vabbé, sono arrivata fino al 10° e ora .... definitivamente ... lascio questa cavolata!!
