Just like what @missvictrix said before, each week I always thought that there must be nothing new the drama could offer to me as its story progressed. And yet somehow, without fail, I found myself finishing each week's story with a handful of lighthearted nuggets of life wisdom.

That little insight on compliment package and how hard it is to get one that has a soul inside it hits me right on the feel. I guess it's true that sometimes you can change people's lives in unexpected ways through small, sincere words.

And then there's the appearance of breakup card earlier this week. It's gratifying to know that Yumi learned something important from her painful split with Ji Ugi. That maintaining a relationship (no matter how precious) at the expense of hurting her own self is never worth it.

I'm glad to finally see Yumi's confrontation with Sae-yi about her behaviour around Woong. It must not be easy for the drama to show us a proper confrontation without making it about petty jealousy or the need to stake claim over Woong. Yumi raised some very good and painfully accurate point about what Sae-yi did all these time. And it's about time for Woong to stop pretending not to notice it (since it never stopped Sae-yi from making her advances, anyway).

As always, even as we enjoy the (sometimes bumpy, but otherwise lovely) progress of Yumi's love life, the writer never forget to develop Yumi as individual. I'm rejoicing at the revival of her writing cell. I have a feeling this will be one of the most important cell in Yumi's future, beyond the unexpected progress her career takes. I'm also enjoying the friendship that bloomed between her, Yi-da, and Ruby. As for Yoo Bobby, let's see where that one particular storyline will bring us.

This show gets it right every time.

Writer Cell - what creative person can’t relate to every bit of this? The Cinderella Potion that makes you think you are a genius suddenly turns into ‘I have no talent’.

Woong not validating Yumi’s job move - I saw that coming from a mile away and Missvictrix is right, we go to people for validation, not for their opinions—and it’s the people closest to us usually most willing to tell us what they really think.

Yumi confronting Woong and SaeYi - this seemed unrelatable only in the sense that I don’t have a much guts as Yumi does, but I wish this was the norm too. Watching Yumi’s growth throughout this drama puts me in such a good mood.

First and foremost, the Endorphin concert was AMAZING!! The writing of Yumi’s Cells is ridiculously creative.

Sae-yi is shameless. Do her cells not think she's pathetic? I can't understand why Yumi doesn't confront Sae-yi and ask her point-blank in front of Woong, "Do you like Woong?" and let him reject her once and for all. I know Woong’s nonconfrontational, but when Sae-yi asked, "Aren't we friends?" he should've said, "Yes, we're friends, nothing more and never will be, so don't misunderstand."

I really thought Yumi was going to run into Bobby who would give her back all her courage since they live in the same neighborhood.

Endorphin are the coolest! When I'm stressed out, I pick myself up through running instead of spicy food, but I so get it 🤣

The fake out freaked me out - and it had already freaked me out in the webtoon 😂
I love all the ways this drama shows us how in life it all comes down to choice - :
*Yumi decides to take action instead of following "dating rules",
*Yumi grabs job opportunities even if they take her out of her comfort zone,
*Yumi starts opening up to people (who'd tell that Ruby, the queen of cringey aegyo, could be so helpful?)
And judge cell with her little "I ❤️ Yumi" badge? Genius.

I'm happy they closed the Snake-Yi chapiter. Woong always knew but it was easier to ignore it until it hurts Yumi.

For his reaction to her new job, I wonder if he reacted like this because of his own situation. He looks like he doesn't have his appartment anymore.

I liked the part of Yumi trying to write and find her "new" passion.

I disliked Yumi trying to act cute. Why?!? Suddenly like this? Woong never showed any interest in this kind of behavior, Ruby's aegyo didn't work on him. I really don't understand. I mean if it was her realy personality to become cute when she dates, ok. But she forced herself!

Gosh I love this drama and I am slightly mad the ratings are not higher. I always smile when watching this drama.

First, I think Yumi handled the conversation with Sae Yi beautifully ( the fast forward was mean). Yumi was 100% right in what she said. Second, I am glad that Woong and she are still together and he finally put Sae Yi in her place. Next, I am sorry but I am team Babi..

YOO BABI!! YOO BABI!! YOO BABI!! YOO Babi Fighting!!! I am totally apart of his fan club. Yes, its totally because JinYoung is playing the role too. Gosh, he is a beauty isn't he? Good Lord, that smile gets me every time. Anywho, I must admit my Babi is a bit of a smooth operator. My nickname for him is Mr. Steal your girl because he is totally flirting but he seems genuine and patient. Almost, like he is waiting on Yumi ( even though he has a girl himself so that is sketchy, still on his team though). I like that Babi spotted Yumi's talent and I melted when he said that her writing being like her is a good thing and smiled that secret smile of his. I am surprised the guard cell is not picking up on this but one thing people seem to be missing is, I think Yumi is cautious around Babi because she is attracted to him a little ( can't blame her). So it will be interesting to see them unfold.

As for Woong, I still love him too and I totally GET why he didnt encourage Yumi. I think his own situation was coloring his opinion so he didnt want her to rock the boat and be in a bad position. However, he really needs to communicate when he is in trouble to Yumi but he is a proud man so I dont know. Either way, I love the cells!! This drama is great..
BTW that whole New Years Eve resolution with the one cell getting big is GENIUS!! I was cracking up when they said it disappears after 3 days.. I will forever love Cheapskate cell, she is one of the best side characters in the series.

Endorphin cell is a mood 😃

So many interesting developments in these episodes. The one that is of greatest concern is the amount of time Woong spends now looking at his phone instead of Yumi. It can not all be work related. He always responds to her questions or comments, but he does not really start talking to her first.

Drawing the line with Sae-yi was overdue and, clearly, Sae-yi with her shady scheme was a very unpleasant character. It still reminded me of often seen situations, when a new person comes in between old friends. The newcomer boyfriend or girlfriend can be very jealous of the way old friends know each other and try to cut these links. Woong did feel sad and also guilty about loosing Sae-yi as a friend, even though he understands that he had to make a choice.

Girls using baby voices and acting cute is just terrible! It is so fake! I did not like that Yumi thought she needed to become cute and take lessons from Ruby who Woong thought of as being weird, not cute.

Again, great use of the cells, analysis of compliments, New-years-resolutions that last 3 days and the wonderful Endorphin concert!
Can't wait for the next episodes.

to be honest, i hate Woong for making Yumi talk to Saeyi to not doing anything towards Woong. its should be Woong who tell her to step back and stop doing everything she did to him but nope he make Yumi to said it. AND i hate it when Yumi's upset about Saeyi being his neighbor, he talked like Yumi's exaggerating things and he has the audacity to actually angry at Yumi for being upset about this whole situation.

What I found weird is that Saeyi and Woong kept saying that they were long time friends but they really did not seem to be all that friendly. Woong always looked uncomfortable and guarded around Saeyi. All their interactions were stiff. If you add the way Saeyi enjoyed manipulating and toying with Woong as well as how she was consciously trying to sabotage his relationships, there's no way you can consider them friends.

I hope this was not the dramas way of saying man and woman can't be friends. The fact their "friendship" failed has nothing to do with their gender or sexual orientation. It failed because Saeyi is a little snake.

My favorite cells this week are New Year Resolution cells. So creative. I don't have New Year Resolution cells but Hobby Cells. They get so big for a few weeks until I actually try it and they shrink and eventually go to the grave yard like Yumi's writer cells. Only Korean Drama Hobby Cells in me now.

Each episode is better than the last. This show never fails to surprise me. The cells and the stories crafted around them are profound and Go Woong is best boy. Though its Yumi and her cells that I can relate to the most. In her insecurities and embarrassing situations. I get why this manhwa was do famous.

Does anyone else really really want to see Sae Yi’s cell society? Reason must be in the graveyard…
