Les Cellules de Yumi 3 (2026)

Toujours autant d’amour pour Yumi… beaucoup moins pour cette romance...

Franchement… cette saison 3 de "Yumi’s Cells" me laisse avec un sentiment un peu étrange... 😭

J’étais tellement contente de retrouver Yumi après tout ce qu’on a vécu avec elle dans les saisons précédentes 🥹. On l’a vue tomber amoureuse, souffrir, se relever, douter d’elle-même… donc forcément, j’attendais cette dernière saison avec énormément d’émotion.

Et honnêtement, il y a quand même plein de choses que j’ai aimées ❤️

Déjà, Kim Go Eun est encore une fois incroyable 🫶🏻. Elle porte vraiment le drama du début à la fin. J’ai adoré retrouver une Yumi plus mature, plus posée… mais aussi beaucoup plus fatiguée émotionnellement après toutes ses relations passées... 😮‍💨. On sent qu’elle a grandi, qu’elle essaie d’avancer différemment, avec moins d’illusions qu’avant… et je trouve que ça rend son personnage encore plus humain.

Et puis évidemment… les cellules 💖 même si elles sont un peu moins présentes cette saison, elles restent vraiment l’âme du drama. J’aime toujours autant leurs réactions absurdes, leurs disputes complètement débiles et cette façon qu’elles ont de représenter toutes les émotions de Yumi 🤡. Franchement, ce concept reste l’une des meilleures idées de romance coréenne pour moi 🫶🏻

Par contre… là où ça coince complètement pour moi, c’est la romance... 😭😬. Je vais être honnête, je n’ai pas réussi à m’attacher au couple Yumi / Soon Rok... 🫣 Et forcément, comme toute la saison repose sur cette relation… ça a clairement impacté mon visionnage.

Je comprends totalement ce qu’ils voulaient faire avec Soon Rok 👀. Une relation plus calme, plus mature, plus réaliste… quelqu’un de réservé, introverti, maladroit émotionnellement. Et Kim Jae Won joue très bien ce côté-là d’ailleurs 👍🏻

Mais personnellement… je l’ai trouvé beaucoup trop froid 😭. Il me manquait constamment cette petite étincelle, cette tension romantique, ce truc qui me fait croire au couple et me donne envie de les voir ensemble.

Et forcément… quand je compares à Wong ou même à Babi, ben je ressent DIRECTEMENT la différence... 😬

J’avais l’impression que la relation avançait… mais sans jamais vraiment me faire vibrer 😭. Même les moments censés être importants émotionnellement m’ont laissée assez neutre 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Après franchement, le format n’aide pas du tout... 😬 8 épisodes pour conclure toute l’histoire de Yumi ?!? C’était clairement pas assez.

Je trouve que tout va beaucoup trop vite vers la fin 💍. Les confessions s’enchaînent rapidement, leur relation évolue presque d’un coup… et alors le proposal speedrun 😭✋🏻 pardon mais j’ai eu du mal à y croire...

J’aurais vraiment aimé que leur histoire prenne davantage son temps. Plus de moments ensemble, plus de construction, plus de tension romantique… parce qu’au final, cette relation censée conclure le parcours amoureux de Yumi est paradoxalement celle qui m’a le moins touchée 😭

Et c’est ça qui me frustre un peu 😞, parce que je vois totalement l’idée derrière cette saison. Une romance plus adulte, moins passionnelle, plus stable… sauf qu’émotionnellement, les saisons précédentes m’avaient tellement fait plus vibrer.

Au final, je ne peux pas dire que je n’ai pas aimé cette saison 3 😭. Retrouver Yumi et ses cellules m’a quand même fait plaisir du début à la fin ❤️

Mais pour une conclusion… je voulais ressentir davantage de choses... Plus d’émotions, plus de passion, plus de papillons 😭🫶🏻

Et malheureusement, cette dernière saison m’a surtout laissée avec une petite frustration plutôt qu’avec ce grand sentiment de clôture que j’attendais 💔✌🏻

My village is still recovering the aftereffects of this season

I might sound more emotional than usual. I’ve fully accepted that this will be a sappy review filled with praise, so buckle up.

This season was… too good. I adore Yumi and all her cells. Every single one of them has such distinct personalities, and the writing team truly did wonders here. I found myself cheering on literal 2D animated cells like they were main characters. That alone says everything.

I was initially very scared of the 8 episode run. I was convinced it wouldn’t be enough and that I’d be left unsatisfied, but it didn’t feel that way at all. The story feels complete in my heart. Would I have taken one more episode? Absolutely. But that’s just my greed cell wanting more Yumi and Sun Rok content.

This season made me laugh so much, just like the previous ones, but what really stayed with me is how much I’ve grown attached to Yumi as a person. Watching her across the seasons, seeing her change as she got older… I genuinely feel like I grew up with her. I felt so close to her, her feelings, her struggles, the way she processes things. Not because we’ve lived the same life, because we definitely haven't, but because she felt so real to me. Her emotions and her reactions made so much sense to me and her honesty and vulnerability is what made me connect to her so deeply, and for this, kudos to the writers.

The writing of this show is so honest, witty, and personal that it genuinely felt like reading Yumi’s diary. And I love that. It’s such an original way to tell a story that is, at its core, very ordinary, but that’s exactly what makes it special. Yumi isn’t perfect. She has flaws, fears, insecurities, and she makes mistakes. She’s lived, she’s learned, and she’s grown and that emotional journey is what makes this show hit so hard for me. I loved how grounded in reality a lot of the moments were.

Now for this season specifically; Kim Go Eun was, as always, phenomenal. She is Yumi. I genuinely can’t imagine anyone else playing her. Her look this season was also adorable, I personally loved the pixie cut, she pulled it off so well. What I loved most this season was seeing a more mature version of Yumi. She’s grown, she’s a bit more guarded, but that hopeful, bubbly core of hers never disappeared. It was just… quieter at times. But still there.

And her cells? Icons. The Naughty cell continued to be the showstopper and the cause of so much of my laughter. The hunger cell...I’m convinced if I ever peeked into my own cell village, my hunger cell would look exactly like that.

I also really appreciated seeing the contrast between Season 1 Yumi and Season 3 Yumi, while still recognizing that at her core, she’s the same person. That consistency in her character was so comforting.

Kim Jae Won as Shin Sun Rok was also genuinely perfect casting. He embodied that role so naturally, and considering he’s still relatively a rookie, acting opposite someone like Kim Go Eun couldn’t have been easy, but he held his own. Their chemistry felt effortless and real. I adored him.

Shin Sun Rok as a character? By far my favorite of Yumi’s boyfriends. Straightforward, proactive, emotionally present… just a genuinely loving partner. His naughty cell was also… yeah. An experience. You go, Yumi. And him being a cute reindeer? I was smiling at my screen so much my face actually started to hurt. If I get smile lines in the future, you're picking up the tab sir.

Also, if you watch this show for anything, let it be for the version of Sun Rok we get in the later half. I fell for him right alongside Yumi. I get it girlie. I fully get it.

I won’t spoil anything, but the way he handled things in the final episode, his attitude, his care, the way he approached Yumi… A MILLION GOLD STARS. Truly.

I also really appreciated that we didn't get into any unnecessary side plots/characters because the 8 episode run is already quite short so I definitely love that the showrunners kept the focus mainly on Yumi and Sun Rok.

Sun Rok’s cell village was also soooo good, there was so much personality and so much humor there. Whoever did the voice acting deserves a GOLD STAR, especially his reason cell. The tone, the delivery… I fully lost it every time his brain just short circuited and the animation was also so good, I couldn't stop laughing. But beyond the humor, it also added depth. His village made him feel just as layered and real as Yumi, which is something this show consistently does amazingly well.

For the story itself, I thought season 3 was very well paced, the change in relationship dynamics felt very natural, and I don't think I ever felt frustrated watching this season at all. I am someone who has a bad habit of fastforwarding some parts of shows, but this season was amazing. They didn't waste even a second. If anything, I wanted more. Honestly, I could’ve watched them do absolutely nothing for 10 more episodes and still been completely invested because I just love these characters so so much.

I think my review will forever remain biased, because I feel so much for this show and for Yumi, but I think that was also only possible because of the superb work everyone has done all throughout the seasons. While I can say that it's possible to watch this as a standalone, it would be such a shame for anyone to miss out on the adventure of seeing how Yumi became the person she is in season 3.

Her story was beautiful and made me both sad cry and happy cry many times, in the best way possible. This show will always have a very special place in my heart and I'll definitely be rewatching it from time to time.
