It's quite mind-boggling that if they stripped down the cells portion of the story, this drama is actually just your usual fare of slice-of-life romance. Somehow, the director doesn't only manage to make the cells stories work, but also turns it into something infinitely special that enhances the drama as a whole.

The cell village doesn't just provide an amusing meta insight of the inside works of Yumi's thinking and feeling process, but also cut through mundane scenes with surprising depth and pathos. Something that I welcome with open arms.

Like the introduction of the Hysterious cell that is nicely done, and also very relatable. You know, that one brief moment of bleak realization where you are blindsided by the toll of a stressful day, stopping every speck of contentment that you felt only moments ago and leaving you in search for a convenient target for all that time-ticking bomb.

Then there's also that slightly cheeky explanation for the million dollar question "Oh, since when did I like this person?" I super adored that tidbit about how sometimes love crept on your heart completely unnoticed. It's cute, insightful, and also wonderfully meta.

As for the second leads, I think I'm more wary of Sae-yi than Ruby. Ruby is so outrageously foxy and transparent in her nosiness, she's practically harmless (except for being stress fodder, I guess). Meanwhile, Sae-yi acted like she cares as a friend, but so very territorial when it comes to Woong being seriously in love with his date. She clearly has feelings (or at least some attachment) for him, but doesn't want to act on it in any way, for whatever reason that I couldn't fathom yet. I hate her "If I can't have him then nobody can" attitude. It doesn't help that the last time I saw this actress in Brahm, she also played a similar type of character.

Those episodes were so cute. I love the new naughty cells, they were hilarious. Give him a pant!

The frog cleaning the mess in Yumi's heart was a nice metaphor.

Woong saw eveything in Seo Sae-Yi's intention, if I liked the Bear mode to counteract, I hope he will be more forthright
in the future because otherwise it's Yumi who will suffer.

Oh my gosh, this week killed me. I could totally relate to Hysterious taking over cause that happens often with me. But Woong is so precious, he sees a good woman and isn't going to let naysayers get in his way. The frog scene was so adorable. At first I thought Woong's Love Cell was a little devious for using a trick, but then I remembered all the things he did and realized he just wanted to make things better, just like Woong. Seeing the frog come to rescue Love and True Feelings almost brought me to tears cause Love Cell was really down. And boy were Lust and Lustsaurus a riot. I thought I had a lust cell but I think I might have a lust-t-rex instead. That kiss scene was beautiful. Woong took his time and made it clear what he was going to do as if giving Yu-mi time to say no if she wanted. He doesn't just like her, I feel he respects her and I think Yu-mi is realizing that as well. It's really amazing how it's human nature to write someone off because of a bad first impression. But when we give someone a chance we might find that the person is a diamond in the rough, just like Woong is turning out to be. Oh and Bear Mode is awesome!

And I could watch people ignore Ruby all day. I loved how Woong wouldn't give Ruby the time of day cause he was focused on the gem he found in Yu-mi. Kuddos to you, Woong!

I was hesitant to watch this drama because they could do great things with the added animated cells, or it could go terribly wrong. I am glad that so far, I was the wrong one. I love Yumi and Woong and think they are absolutely adorable together. Woong is just the type of guy that Yumi needs if she wants to date. Someone who is sincere, transparent, and completely smitten with her.
Ruby and Sae-Yi encompass two of my very least types of characters...manipulative, annoying, fake, and deceptive in their "helpful" intentions.
I am concerned that since Yumi and Woong got together so quickly in the drama, there will be a lot of turmoil, drama, and most likely the inevitable break-up before the happy ending. (Of course we already know that the drama won't end like the webtoon)

I wasn't going to watch this drama but after the recap of episode 1 I decided to give it a shot and it's been amazing, the last time I saw Ahn Bo-hyun in Kairos he was a terrible person but he is most definitely killing this role. I think the best part of this drama is how relatable it is with the cells. I'm definitely looking forward to more episodes.
P.S. I rewatched the bear mode scenes as well as lust and lustsaurus scenes, they were absolutely fun

I want that frog hoodie dress.

I love Woong. He’s so sweet and not as dense as he claims. I’m glad he knew what Sae-yi was up to and went into bear mode. Sae-yi is the worst. She doesn’t want Woong, but she doesn’t want anyone else to have him.

Woong, that was NOT a beard.

Naughty Cell is definitely my favorite. When Naughtysaurus showed up, I said yep, that’s about right lol.

Yumi imagining Woong in the shower was very relatable and much appreciated.

I’m glad I pushed through the first two episodes as I enjoyed them, but nothing really grabbed me. Episode 3 and 4 were both great, and I laughed out loud a couple of times (as opposed to just a smirk or two from the first pair of episodes). The Lustsaurus and Yumi’s lust cell that doesn’t wear pants had me laughing pretty hard.

The girl “friend” of our ML is just…ugh. Seeing her just undercut everything Woong does in an effort to get him to give up on Yumi is aggravating. But of course that’s the point, so the actress is doing a good job. In fact both of Woong’s friends are pretty negative. He needs some folks who lift him up, not tear him down.

The bulletin board concept really touched me. It showed that whatever thought that we keep in our heart, that's what will shape our life.

Keep the happy ones to live a happy life, and ditch the toxic ones so it won't rot our heart...

I like the story, but not the cell animation. I don't think it's necessary at all, and will get very repetitious. The actors are both capable of showing us through their expressions and actions the internal struggles they are going through as they get to know each other; I don't need to see the cells to understand what's going on inside our MLs. I will continue fast forwarding through the animation scenes as I think it might be okay in a movie, but not carried out over multiple episodes.

very interesting. thanks!

This show has my heavily melanated cheeks blushing! I only question the cute scene when Woong's love cell enters Yumi's cell village and starts cleaning up. Does healthy love form a significant other really clean things? Isn't that slightly toxic? I am not sure if I am looking at this the right way.

This drama shows how complicated a woman's inner voice is and how we can submarine ourselves without even realizing it. Trying to ignore the destructive voices is so difficult. I love the cell village and both leads are knocking it out of the park. Is it Friday yet?

I loved these two episodes. Hunger was me! I love it so far.

Leave it to an animated drama to tell such a realistic story 😅(emotionally). Hysterious, as a dark cloud of depression, creeping in right when things start going right seemed all too relatable.

In terms of unrelatable things: whoa that kiss at the end of the last episode. One of the most heart fluttering I have seen in a while! I was really worried about being able to watch Ahn Bo-hyun as the ML because I found him such a disturbing villain in Itaewon Class. But, anxiety cells put to rest after these two episodes! 😄

Thouroughly enjoyed these last couple of episodes. I was blushing through whole of lust vs lustasaurous. The romance is moving at the right pace because I think they want to show all the feelings when in a relationship through the cells.

I was squealing, laughing, squealing again through the whole episode. And the end kiss was perfect. All this is so freaking relatable. I haven’t seen a show depict new infatuation so well since Pretty Noona. (@isthatacorner you would love this show!) I ignore the cells for the most part. Not my favorite part. But even so, I’m enjoying the real people interaction so so so much.

I cannot get over just how well written this drama is! It's a fairly simple love story between two relatively unpretentious characters, and it should all add up to not-very-much. But the internal drama--and the surprising balance of humor, wit and pathos--of Yumi and Woong's cells is fantastic, not just in the visual realization but in the small details.

I thought the metaphor for depression and anxiety as an actual storm that takes over Yumi's cellscape and then empties it of everything that makes her life tick was particularly poignant and maybe just a bit too on the nose.

I'm curious where this drama can go from here, but I'm definitely along for the ride.

Man, I love Yumi and Woong’s relationship so far, I accept trials and tribulations in the future as long as it leads to a happy ending for the two, I really hope it doesn’t end like the WEBTOON…

Bear mode!!! I'm dying. Dear Yumi's Cells, please forgive me for rejecting you. I'm loving you more and more, and dopey Woong most of all..

I genuinely have not watched a drama that I enjoyed it this much in such a long time. The way I either scream or laugh my ass off every other minute. I just can’t handle how cute the main couple is AND THE CELLS?? THEY ARE EVERYTHING. i love how they introduce new cells and create stories around them like the naughty cells (NAUGHTYSAURUS LMAOO WHICH LEGEND NAMED THIS 😭😭) and the cell that puts up the bulletin texts! My screaming cell, laughing cell, happiness cell and excitement cell are always working hard when im watching this drama
