Still cute and funny, but fell short compared to other seasons
I've enjoyed following Yumi's journey through these 3 seasons, but this last season really fell short compared to the others. With only 8 episodes compared to the 14 in other seasons, this season felt too rushed and lacked depth. I still enjoyed the cuteness and humor, but didn't really believe the love story which is a disappointing way to end the series.
Likes:
1) Sun Rok's unique character - I think it's the first time where I've seen an introvert's energy levels explained so well in a drama. I completely related to the energy depiction and also the sort of opposite work vs home personality. Even though MBTI has helped people understand a little bit about introversion, this depiction really captured how much being social can drain strong introverts.
2) Kim Go Eun as Yumi - I can not picture anyone else who could have played this role to perfection like she did. I love her. Her expressions in the beginning towards Sun Rok's rudeness were hilarious!
3) Of course, the anime cells - I don't need to explain that one. My favs were Yumi's enormous hungry cell and Sun Rok's enormous naughty cell. hahaha
4) The addressing of how we approach love so differently as we age. I loved watching this journey as I could relate.
Dislikes:
1) The rushed loved story - it wasn't believable. There wasn't enough buildup between the indifference to love. It needed more time to develop which is a shame because the acting was good and the chemistry had potential but because of time, the chemistry fell short.
2) While I like Sun Rok's opposite work and home personality, at times it was a bit too extreme esp towards the end. So sometimes it felt unbelievable.
3) The last episode was just too rushed in wrapping up everything. A big let down as it could have been all heart fluttery, but it felt like the writers/director just didn't care.
Overall still an entertaining watch, but most likely will be a bit disappointing for those of us that have been on Yumi's journey.
