The Story
Yumi is an aspiring writer who works at Daehan Noodles. After suffering from a painful breakup, she has given up on love. But inside of Yumi’s body reside a whole town of cells that represent each of her feelings and interests. And their dream of seeing Yumi fall in love and get married will override all of her best intentions. But the road to love is complicated and unpredictable, and Yumi will find herself having to make some very difficult decisions about who she loves and what she wants in life.
Should I Watch
“Yumi’s Cells” is a romantic comedy that takes a realistic look at some of the struggles and pitfalls of dating. Half of the story is told through animated cells that dictate Yumi’s choices and feelings. And while this concept is unique and entertaining at first, it can get a bit silly and redundant as the series goes on. The realistically flawed characters left me disliking each of the leads at some point, which surprised me. And the inconclusive ending was a disappointment to me, since there is no concrete plan to make a third season. That being said, I would be surprised if they don’t announce one soon, given the fan-based interest. I give “Yumi’s Cells” a 7 out of 10 ramen.
