this was undoubtedly my most favorite season of Yumi’s Cells!

kdramas have been disappointing me a lot lately. but with Yumi’s Cells Season 3, for the first time in a long time, I was able to watch a kdrama without being disappointed in a single thing. there was not one boring or disappointing moment, it was lovely from beginning to end.

I know a lot of people had their reservations with the pacing and/or how rushed or unnatural it felt for them to fall in love with each other so fast. but to me, it was oerfect. we see that Soon Rok has basically liked her from the very beginning, but he didn’t want a workplace relationship and was trying to draw the line. as for Yumi, even though it felt like she went from hating him to liking him so fast, it didn’t feel unnatural to me. sometimes all it takes is one simple moment for you to fall for someone.

Go Eun as Yumi was as amazing as ever. Yumi finding no joy or excitement in anything was so relatable. her cells coming back to life from Soon Rok’s presence from just how much he was pissing her off was so entertaining to watch😂

Soon Rok’s ability to compartmentalize his work life and private life was so impressive. his robotic expressions and lack of social skills in the beginning was HILARIOUS. but the moment he decided to let go of his principle of not pursuing a coworker, he became a whole new person lol.

Kim Jae Won as Soon Rok was so amazing! I know a lot of people doubted his abilities when his name was announced as the cast. but he really proved why he was chosen for this role (especially with the last two episodes). the way he can switch from boyfriend Soon Rok to professional Shin PD so fast is insane! he pulls off the role of a lovesick puppy sooo well omg. i need to see him in more roles like this!

the cells of both characters were just so freaking adorable! Soon Rok’s village was so entertaining to watch. the utter chaos when Soon Rok confessed lmao. Yumi’s naughty cell writing “noona” with her butt and Soon Rok’s SuperMan-like naughty cell appearing from space took me out 🤣 i could watch a whole another season starring the cells alone lol.

my only problem with this season was…why so short? we deserved to see AT LEAST two more episodes of Yumi and Soon Rok, since this is literally the last season and the end of Yumi’s story. sigh. aside from that, this was a perfect wrap up to the show!

Yumi and her cells, you will be missed!

PS. I initially gave this a 9 while it was ongoing, but decided to make it a 9.5 after watching the final 2 episodes! no other kdrama has made me feel this good in a long time🥹
