Season 2: study in toxic relationships
Yumi's Cell Season 2 is mostly about YuMi-BaBi relationship and breakuip and it is so... toxic to watch!!!! bc there is no love there, only two adults using each other for attention AND LYING TO THEMSELVES ABOUT IT
It is toxic bc there is no real love there. YuMi "finds solace in BaBi's attention"...
YuMi is just an ordinary, flawed, ignorant person, with some skillZ for life. She uses reason and thinks through stuff, but she put her Inner Self away into the desert and does not trust it, and she locked up her Deep Inner Desires into a jail underground.
is YuMi selfish? Hm... with BaBi, yes.... "finding solace in his admiration" IS SELFISH :) she is just taking from him.
With Woong... ? it is a mutual game. YuMi consented to kiss his as# to get his LustyDinosaur, whatever that blue t-rex was called. With Woong, YuMi was overly giving. But out of selfish reasons, she wanted something from him... and her mistake was to TOTALLY neglect all red flags so that she could get that.
I dont love to hate this show. I just thought a lot about what I saw. it is ugly :( and I wasted 14 hours. I think there was a FASTER way to learn all that.
i think the Cells are genious way to show what is happening under the surface. I felt like a detective, that I was able to see the "dissection" of human behavior. So in that regard, 14 hrs spend on this is not totally wasted. I was practicing my detective skills and learning :)
I predicted totally how both season 1 and 2 would go and how they would end :) and by watching the CELLS PART of the dramas, I learned a lot too
=====
season 1 is about ONE guy Woong. but BaBi is lurking in the background posing as YuMi's friend while he is breaking with his reporter ex
Meanwhile Woong has a "second wife" an ex from the past that consistently and openly butts in to get him away from YuMi
finally Woong dumps YuMi and she accepts bc Woong went off the deep end with the bankruptcy of his company and did not say a word about it - Woong is a lame proud arrogant selfish he-man man-child AND a fun boy toy, and she keeps kissing his as# to keep the fun boy toy
season 2 is about BaBI taking over YuMi, genuinely loving her... and once in a blue moon, Woong trying to come back and bailing out fast every time.
But the whole thing is slimey as YuMi got with BaBi not out of love, but to use him as a happy pill and to have him treat her like a princess. So she essentially leeches off him. And as soon as she is far from him, he finds another chick who kisses HIS as# and genuinely loves him. And YuMi stops "loving him" as soon as it is clear he cannot be 100% perfectly serving her 100% of the time.
So the cells makes this interesting. The stories are about flawed ignorant unaware people, and the cells show how these people operate.
Season 2 is so cheesy cringe bc both Woong and BaBi stay single and loyal to Yumi FOREVER although she dumped them.
YuMi is like this worm that just chews through men, using them for s.x, attention, etc.
=====
Season 1 is interesting only bc of the Cells... bc it shows the typical hormone-driven relationships that fall apart, how immature people think, what operates them inside to create those stupid external behaviors - how mismatched immature ppl get together for the sake of s.x and fun and keep it going for a short while until the first problems.
Woong is an arrogant dude and he keeps his "second wife" bc she strokes his ego, and he stays around YuMi only while his ego is stroked and looking grand. So he and YuMi used each other, and YuMi was a lot more giving, in order to keep her fun boy toy.
Season 2 is a study in toxic relationships. YuMi does NOT love BaBi and she gets together with him for convenience, takes him as a happy pill, "loves" him when it is all perfect, and loses any interest as soon as he is less than perfect. He essentially cheated by emotionally attaching himself to another chick, who was kissing his as@ and who genuinely loved him from the start, which YuMi never did. YuMi and BaBi relationship was majorly slimey, and BaBi was a lot more giving. YuMi was there as long as she was THE PRINCESS, and BaBi had to keep kissing her as@ and taking care of her.
The key problem is that YuMi is totally oblivious to her Hunch Cell and her Deep Inner Cell and is fact scared of them, so she keeps operating out of limited / dumb Emotions, Reason, etc
Season 3 is about .... ? hopefully real love for who the people ARE and a real relationship where both give and take and LOVE equally.
But there could be 100000 seasons and NOTHING WILL WORK AS LONG AS THAT HUNCH CELL IS FEARED AND PUT TO LIVE ALONE IN THE DESERT, AND DEEP INNER CELL IS BURRIED IN AN UNDERGROUND PRISON
YuMi is an ordinary clueless ignorant person, living life on automatic pilot. The interesting part is the Cells, we get to see how that all works
====
Season 2 was so soap...
Adult men moping after their woman for YEARS AND DECADES and unwilling and unable to have new relationships - and one woman having at least 2 great guys like that forever dedicated to her - wow what a super disgusting lie soapy cringe trope that shows up on most if not all dramas. So those moping men just do not have s.x all their adult life, or for so many years and decades?
WOW WE FOUND WHY S KOREA HAS THE LOWEST BIRTH RATE IN THE WORLD - and why hostess bars and prostitution are so normal in Asia.
The reality was shown by both Woong and Ba Bi. Woong was keeping his "second wife" at work, and Ba Bi found "second wife" as soon as he moved away. And both those "second wives" had NO problem butting in to steal the man from his official girlfriend. On the other hand, men who were told the girl is taken, backed off immediately. THAT IS THE TYPICAL REALITY
====
Just watched Yumi's Cells season 1 bc of really great review on byrei.ink - indeed it is a great study on how immature ppl get together for fun and then quickly break up. THE CELLS ARE SOOOO EDUCATIONAL AND DEEP!!!! I rated that 10 bc of its uniqueness and insights. I just fast forwarded through the cringe parts showing the external behaviors of two really dumb immature ppl butting heads without any communication.
Season 1 was about puppy young love based on hormones.
Then I watched 14 episodes of Season 2. And I feel very upset after, because it was about two slimey adults. YuMi using BaBi as her happy pill, to have someone kiss her as# and take care of her ALL THE TIME like she was a princess, and YuMi lost any interest and bailed out as soon as the dude could not deliver that all the time. And BaBi - he needs someone to truly love him, and I guess he wants someone to kiss HIS as# too, so he essentially cheated by emotionally attaching to a chick like that - and probably would have proceeded to switch ships at one point, JUST LIKE he was switching ships and jumping on to YuMi while he was breaking up with his ex.
SO SEASON 2 IS A STUDY IN VERY SLIMEY TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS.
And then this cheesy idea of 2 guys being loyal forever to one woman who used them while it was fun and then dumped them... SO unreal soapy!!!!
There was real stuff... both guys had "second wives", women who openly catered to them and tried to take them away from the official girlfriend YuMi. That is soooo realistic.
YuMi's male suitors behaved in typical ways of real life and backed off as soon as she said she has a boyfriend.
Overall, YuMi is a very ignorant unaware person and also a coward in many ways because she keeps her Hunch away in the desert and is afraid to listen to him, and also DEep Inner Self is burried in an underground prison.
So Yumi's Cells can have 10000000000 episodes where YuMi keeps using men, chewing them up while they are useful to her and then spitting them out.
In Season 1, YuMi has to kiss as# of Woong, to keep her fun boy toy. He is a moody arrogant man-child and a great boy toy
In Season 2, BaBi has to kiss as# of YuMi and make her feel like a princess, or else she loses interest in him. She gets with him not out of love, but for health reasons, to be treated like a princess, and loses interest as soon as he cannot be that loyal doting SERVANT ALL THE TIME. BaBi sold his soul and then could not resist his need for someone who truly loves him and gives to him, so he essentially chated.
BaBi needs someone who gives to him as much as he gives. BaBi did not have a mother and his father is cement, so BaBi needs real love, to be the center of attention.
Yeah BaBi is slimey too... He jumps ships as soon as it is not productive for him to stay.... As soon as "his woman" is "away" - he starts jumping ships...
So Season 2 is just ... ugly toxic muck bc it is clear these ppl are adults adn SHOULD be thinking...
BASICALLY SEASON 2 SHOWS THAT NOTHING WAS LEARNED FROM SEASON 1
and season 3 looks like the same concept
Season 1 is cute bc it is "starter kit"
but Season 2 is infuriating bc there is no progress whatsoever
the story just repeats
And Season 3 looks the same repeat...
Yumi's Cells Season 2 is so nasty because THE DRAMA IS DEAD FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES. It is not about love and aliveness. It is about INTENTIONAL TOXICITY, nobody is trying to become a better person, YuMi just scoots along with BaBi pushing her forward, and BaBi thinks this is the best "love" he can find for himself and BaBi "buys" this love by always being perfect and doting on the princess so that she would bestow her "love" on him.
So yeah, I feel furious after watching Yumi's Cells Season 2. It is a "waste of time" drama unless you want to really analyze toxic relationships.
The Cells is the only thing that is useful and worth watching here, to learn how ppl are able to slide into toxic relationships and maintain them for a long time.
I thought about this a lot. Season 2 is mostly about YuMi - BaBi relationship and fallout. Yumi's Cell Season 2 is so... toxic to watch!!!! bc there is no love there, only two adults using each other for attention AND LYING TO THEMSELVES ABOUT IT
It is toxic bc there is no real love there.
BaBi has no mother and his father is cement, so BaBi tries to "buy love by being perfect. YuMi never loved him really, she just used him to serve her like she was a princess. So as soon as he found someone else to kiss his as@ and love him, as soon as he found a better "investment", he took it.
BaBi's sliminess is that he starts switching ships as soon as his current ship starts sinking. He chased YuMi while breaking up with his reporter ex, and then he got Jeju girl as soon as it was clear that she was kissing his as# and loving him... So much better than uMi who honestly was just cold to BaBi and just enjoyed his taking care of her.
BaBi needs to find someone who will truly love and cherish him as much as he does love and cherish her. BaBi has a great capacity to love but very low ability to RECEIVE - then he falls for the first person who shows him appreciation and love.
YuMi needs to grow up too and pair up with a man who is equal to her. Woong was so much more childish and was essentially a boy toy, and BaBi was like a father/servant/nurse/sugar daddy to her. Seems like YuMi is a rather shallow person who picks the first guy who will give her s.x and attention.
