Yumi’s Cells 2 Wraps up TVing Airing Following Webtoon Story Line But No Confirmation of Season 3

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Gosh, I have so many mixed emotions but the strongest one is 100% love for Yumi and Kim Go Eun’s portrayal and appreciation that this webtoon story was so beautifully adapted to live action in season 2 as it was in season 1. Changing male leads in Yumi’s Cells 2 didn’t change the satisfaction of watching Yumi evolve in both … Continue reading →

I’m surprised that I liked Yumi’s Cells 2 this much, I thought it would be a nice watch but never expected to be so emotionally invested. All praise not just to Kim Go Eun‘s delicate and lovely acting but to how the production continued to develop her cells and take us along that emotional journey. New stills are out for … Continue reading →

Chingus! I’m so shook! Like, I love both guys for Yumi and I know my heart will break for one (or both) but at the same time happy with whatever choice Yumi makes (either guy or herself). This is the magic of Yumi’s Cells 2, with the second season continuing the wonderful storytelling of the first season with a new … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells 2 with Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung Premieres Exclusively on Streaming Platform TVing for Second Season

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Oh, I hope there is an English-based streaming platform that will pick this up otherwise it won’t get as much exposure and audience access as the first season. Yumi’s Cells 2 premiered last week on June 10th Friday and for some reason I thought it would follow the first season which aired on tvN and then streamed on TVing. But … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung’s Romance Gears Up in Yumi’s Cells 2 Showing Sweet Chemistry in New Poster and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I think if I didn’t watch and enjoyed so much the first season of Yumi’s Cells I would probably not be feeling the pairing of Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung in the upcoming Yumi’s Cells 2. There is a noona romance vibe from the stills but in the drama they are colleagues (I think same age) and their chemistry is … Continue reading →

From last summer as a surprise treat what was the K-drama adaptation of Yumi’s Cells comes this summer a new treat with Yumi’s Cells 2 premiering in early June 2022. The first season was an adaptation that stayed true to the original webtoon in both story line and vibe with both leads Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun bringing … Continue reading →

Shin Ye Eun to Guest Star in Yumi’s Cells Season 2 as a Quick to Love Part Timer Working for Jinyoung’s Yoo Babi Character in Cute Reunion From He is Psychometric

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I love that Yumi’s Cells tells the story of Yumi first and foremost so that all the other leads are there to play the people in her lives without trying to claim the spotlight. Ahn Bo Hyun was amazing and perfect as first season lead Gu Woong but his period in Yumi’s life came to its natural conclusion and second … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Finishes 14-episode Run with Thoughtful and Realistic Ending as tvN Confirms Production on Season 2 for 2022

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Sorry this final wrap up of tvN romance and life drama Yumi’s Cells is two weeks late, October into November was a wild month for me with a two week quarantine in a hotel to go see my parents in Asia (you can guess which country lol) and then rushing back four days later so lots of loopy craziness. After … Continue reading →

Squid Game and then D.P. Selected by Joynews Insider Poll of Best Streaming Shows of 2021

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Looks like the Joynews Best Of insider poll this year has split the television programs with the streaming only programs. That’s fine though it would be interesting to see the same program stacking up against each other since where it aired doesn’t matter as to quality. The entertainment industry group selected Netflix drama Squid Game with 120 runaway votes as … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This coming weekend is the finale of Yumi’s Cells, it’s a bit short with the drama ending on episode 14 but the original production intended for the drama to be multi-seasons to coincide with the webtoon. Whether that will happen has not been announced as the drama has been getting mid-2% ratings, not the success tvN would have liked to … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Challenges Yumi to New Behaviors and Revives Old Dreams in Episodes 9-10 as the Relationship with Woong Balances Between Sweet and Precarious

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

When I watch Yumi’s Cells I enjoy nearly all of it, but when there are no new episodes I’m not anxiously waiting. I guess it mirrors Yumi’s overall mentality, she puts her all into her life (work, love) but with the things not there she’s not fretting about it. Episodes 9-10 were this past weekend and it wasn’t the relationship … Continue reading →

K-netizens Enjoying the Arrival of Jinyoung as the Second Boyfriend Babi in Yumi’s Cells and Look Forward to the Casting of the Right Actor for the Third Boyfriend/Husband Character of Soonrok

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I don’t know if its the webtoon for creating such a believable and workable romance journey (I read only the first twenty chapters) or the drama for hitting a home run on the casting and directing, but everything about Yumi’s Cells is working for me and keeps getting better. I thought I was Team Woong forever since his adorkable hotness … Continue reading →
