I suspected that the distorted ‘text’ voice of the haggling would be buyer was Oong’s but dismissed it. It was him!

I really like these episodes!

How long did they run? Because they met at 10 am and the confession looked to be at the end of the day... At least, her hesitation is in the past and they are dating! I liked their scenes : the elevator's doors closing and seeing Yumi's face with her masks was so funny, how he said she's a good writer, the kiss! I like how we meet new cells like Tongue Cell.

I hope Yumi will be smart and won't hurt Babi with Woong's comeback in her life.

Thanks for the quick weecap 💜

When Yumi said she needed to sell the rice cooker for $120 to buy Babi's present, I thought she was getting him a whole outfit. Not just a tie. What sort of tie costs $120?!? Although... with how good he looked taking off that tie, buy him as many ties as he wants 😍
Apparently Yumi has never heard the phrase "don't quit your day job." 😄 I was shocked that she gave up her steady job (and adorable office romance!) to start writing a novel. It's going to be a long time before that pursuit brings in any income.
Babi's cells are adorable. I loved that they put on a whole musical number to welcome Yumi's love cell to the village 🥰 The tongue cells were hilarious 😂 Babi is adorable and so sweet!
I can't believe they brought back Woong! Go away Woong! Babi is the best!
This show is so fun but also so depressing because I know I'll never be able to find a guy like Babi 💔 Thanks show for setting my standards in men so unrealistically high 😭

Pursuing your dreams is all well and good, but quitting your stable day job?? Yumi darling, NOOOO. I understand wanting to give all your energy towards writing (that’s my ultimate goal in life too), but a girl’s gotta pay rent. And pay exorbitant money for your perfect boyfriend’s gift. Also that tie better be made of solid gold or something because that price is ridiculous.

Anyway, I love this show, even when some of the animation of the cells creep me out. Deeply devastated that I will never meet a guy remotely as perfect as Babi who would be interested in me. Stop giving me unrealistic expectations in het relationships, show!

Guyssssss! That kiss scene was all manners of swoony. I can't really explain it but it felt like I was intruding on an intimate moment when watching that kiss scene🤭.

Can I borrow Yoo BaBi from Yumi? 😆 I am a fan and I just lovely how intentional and not pushy he is. My only issue is those damn white socks!

Naughty cell really went rogue and put all the cells into trouble 🤣🤣.

When BaBi gave her the mint I thought she/her cells would be offended. As per, is he insinuating she has bad breathe 💀.

I thought for a minute that BaBi was the buyer and that his only bad trait would be that he's stingy 🤣😅

Why is Woong back? 😑😑😑

Why am I expecting all of it to fall apart? I feel like a conspiracy theorist with all the new scenarios that pop up in my head with each new development. I cannot get through an episode without, as Joey would say it, 'putting it in the freezer' multiple times. The drama focuses on building that awkwardness, on conveying that realistic feeling of not knowing if each move will work in your favour or not. It just makes me more cryptic of Babi and his perfect 'persona'. The quick progression of their relationship didn't help as well nor Yumi's shifted focus on all things Babi - his encouragement of her writing, his gift, his liking of long hair, his fav flavor. She's changing too quickly for someone she was not even sure of. Squee is there but so is the looming feeling that something is up. Even Babi's cell village didn't alleviate this feeling of mine.

Oh no, I don't like this reunion. Is Yumi going to emotional cheat on Babi? Was this in the webtoon? (Wasn't it the opposite situation?)

While everything Babi does is swoony, his character feels unfairly underdeveloped. We saw Woong at his job with his coworker friends (Snake Sae-yi), but because Babi works in the same company and department, he has no life outside of work. I'm glad we got to see his apartment and cells world, which is a fiesta, and yay for having female cells. He is 100% perfect and written like a fantasy.

When Yumi told Babi to stop encouraging her to write, I was sure he said something that made her quit since their conversation was cut off, so I was shocked at his surprise upon hearing about it. "You didn't even discuss this with your boyfriend!?" Sigh of relief that he did know. He has always been the encouraging boyfriend since season 1 when he encouraged her to take the marketing position. Their secret office romance was exciting, but I wonder how they would continue to hide it from Yida and Ruby.

Love cell annoyed me over her suspicions of Babi. I really hope Yumi doesn't move in with Babi now that her rent was raised, or else it'll be a disaster like when Woong moved in with her when he was broke. Don't repeat your mistakes, Yumi.

Delightful episodes, this week! My only peeves were wardrobe related.
*First, watching Baby running in the park in a sweatshirt that must weight at least 1,5 kg. Really, how cold is winter in Seul? Don't they have technical gear? No Decathlon in South Korea, I gather 🤣
They always dress characters in overly warm heavy clothes to run, and it feels sweaty just to look at them 😓

*Second, Yumi's visit to her doting parents was super sweet. But them getting through the door direct to the table, getting to eat with their coats on is a culture shock to me. Where I come from, you hang out at least 15 minutes saluting and chatting before even approaching the table. And eating with your coat on? That looks extremely uncomfortable. Besides, who wants to risk getting food stains on a costly wonter coat?
This said, I watched both episodes with a buge grin and a fair amount of fun cringe 😂 Yumi and Babi going through the first steps of a relationship are pure swoon and cuteness. And THAT kiss 🔥

I love Naughty and would love to know what's in the 30+ rated books, hehehe.

Although I liked Goo Woong better visually (those forearms and legs!), I'm now fully on Team Bobby, he's just too nice and seemingly uncomplicated.

I was actually expecting Booby's ex-girlfriend to cause the first conflict, I wasn't expecting Woong so soon. But it makes sense that she probably won't be over him so quickly.

Yumi’s cells has always been about the cells for me. It builds on the Inside out concept of the emotional elements behind what often appears on the onside as random behaviour and the Ally McBeal animation of what people really think about the situations they have to deal with.

I like rom coms but the noble idiocy trope that occurs in most relationship dramas usually makes no sense whereas in this you see why decisions are made and the fallout that takes place internally which is normally shown as a distraught crying scene out of sight of the loved one.

This week’s episodes were so on point in showing the uniqueness of this series. The humour is laugh out loud funny and the cute moments are just what I need these days. I like that they have an office romance that people don’t know about rather than the usual making it so obvious and them deluding themselves that no one suspects a thing we usually get.

I do wonder about the female friends side of things as usually friends share these kinds of major life events and we don’t really see any deep friendships just the work colleagues.

This show has my entire heart. LikE could watch no other shows right now and I would be satisfied. (Of course I’ll watch other shows!) I guess Babi has my entire heart. His personality is very similar to my own real life husband, direct and to the point, sure of himself and is so considerate. Yumi doesn’t know what to think when she’s a round that direct of a person. Does she like him for herself, or because he’s just that swoony. That’s what she will have to figure out. And knowing there’s a third season, I’m afraid it’ll be the latter. But I’m all in this one. I love Jinyoung in this. His acting is on point. He’s adorable and give that boy a tie to rip off his neck and day and I’ll be here for it. 😂

How many episodes this season have? And is this the last season?

I think I’m an outcast for not swooning over Bobby as hard as to Woong. Bobby does have great bf materials, but he loves Yumi in his “perfectness”, while Woong despite his struggle of communication and self-love over and over again giving in to Yumi. Such a shame in the last moment he chose over his pride than stay with her. And with Bobby, Yumi act as a “good girl”, but with Woong she showed him rejection, anger, and immaturity, and Woong get through that and still loving her. Woong loves her in spite of her imperfection.

On other side, who you want to be SR? I think of Lee Jun Ho. 1st because he is a good actor, 2nd because I want to see him act again, 3rd because I want to see him again but in lighter role.

Love how the story portraits different relationship dynamics using the cells. Like, Babi is literally love bombing Yumi's village to get inside. Cells get taken off her feet by swoony gestures, and Love Cell ends up surrendering because of the peer pressure.
It's funny to see all the Beanies turned into Babi fans the way Yumi's cells are - me included! But, meanwhile, Babi is still a cypher - a nice hot cypher capable of very swoony gestures, but even his village cell doesn't reveal anything about his personality (like, we've seen no cells disagreeing with each other or just wrecking havoc like Naughtysaurus)

Commenting here after a long time because Yumi getting a thumbs up from her younger self brought happy tears to my eyes mostly because I'm her age and have the same wish to not disappoint my younger self.
Sometimes a scene just hits you, doesn't it.

And on a not sappy note - that kiss ;)

S2 didn't immediately grab me the way S1 did, from the get go. It took me getting to the scene where Reason-Cell finds a covert 'Babi-Fan Club' in operation, buried deep inside the sub-conscious of Yumi, & setup by none other than her OWN Guard Cell , in-charge of 'protecting her heart' & 'sussing out smooth-talkers' like Babi, from S1. Lol! The irony! And the betrayal!!! 😂😂
That scene spoke to me on a profound level, as I too am the kind to be extra-weary like Yumi against super-dreamy charmers, but eventually end up getting swept off my feet. Dangit.

THAT one scene, and I knew the writers brought their A-game again. Yumi's trajectory of denial, post-rejection regret, second-guessing, acknowledging that she wants Babi, & finally accepting that she needs to fight for him, was so, SO relatable. A tad fickle & manipulative in the face of her passivity & insecurity, but very real nonetheless.

I still maintain that Woong's personality was too similar to Yumi's whereas Babi's is more complimentary, & thus, exactly what she needs. However, I fear, the perfection will get boring after a point.
Kudos to Jinyoung for bringing in the fresh, bright-eyed earnestness, without which, the character could come off as a tad too smooth/ suave (to the point of being oily/ greasy...) His directness & dedication already win major points with me, but like Yumi, I was sold on his gentlemanly consideration for her! T_T Nah, Yumi-sis, I couldn't have resisted more than month, either! ❤️
Also, that kiss randomly plays in my head, and the closeup of Jinyoung's jawline should. not. be. FREE. 😍

Is it weird that I recognized Woong's voice through the voice filter of the rice cooker buyer?

the way I cried when I saw the scene with older and younger YM. It really meant a lot to me when her younger self told her older self she was cool and bold for quitting & pursuing her dreams, especially when they did not show her cell village at all during that convo. It made it so much more special & somewhat realistic. That scene alone deserves more recognition!!

Also due to the emotional trauma I faced back with s1, I've become like Love cell, more apprehensive towards YM & BB's relationship. Not saying that I hate it or anything because there's nothing to hate at the moment. Could it be right person wrong time? 🤔
I also simply love the way the drama is portraying feelings of rebound and how honest they are showing post-breakup & the conflict YM has within her.

Anyone else lost their mind when yall realized what was happening towards the end of ep4? I nearly threw up when I saw him.

I'm so happy to see Woong again! Even tho Babi is the perfect boyfriend...he IS super good-looking and sweet etc. But somehow I felt Yumi's relationship with Woong was more real. I was more into S1 than S2 and the breakup was especially heart wrenching. Ahn Bo Hyun is so attractive in a manly way (Really liked him in Prosecutor Doberman)...happy to see him back.

Seriously, Yumi's Cells has outdone itself with these 2 eps. The uncertainty of a rebound relationship and the fact that Emotion Cell, who was never the best judge in this kind of situation, was the drive behind it. The careful gauging of each other's feelings and intent. The intentional and careful mirroring of Yumi's beginning relationship with Bobby and that of her failed one with U-gi. The barrage of fastballs that resulted in the yielding of the whole village (isn't it such an honest depiction of "you can always learn to like back someone who cares very much about you"?).

This is one of those dramas in which I needed to spend a lot more time for each eps because of how often I clicked pause. I always needed to brace myself for its very real depiction of a growing relationship. The awkward adjustment period that made me squirmed in shared nervousness, the mortifying secondhand embarrassment. But it's exactly that acknowledgment of those imperfection that I appreciated here.

Speaking of imperfection, I'm a bit worried watching how perfectly this new relationship unfolded. I feel that both Yumi and Bobby are on an emotional high that they viewed their love story through rose-tinted glasses in epic proportion. Sure, some of it could be attributed to Bobby's cells world that revealed itself as the inner working of someone who doesn't know how not to be charming even for just one second. But the rest of it gave me jitters because it felt like there would be approaching doom that couldn't be settled by pretty words and simple swoony actions soon enough. Hopefully it's just my pessimistic self talking.
