Areas Bobby Frequents
Episode 11 of Yumi’s Cells begins with Yumi taken aback by how many positive comments there are against her latest writing. Only, it turns out Woong is actually responsible for these, logging in to multiple accounts and leaving nice comments for her. ..
Yumi is slightly disappointed to learn that Bobby is back in Seoul and working at the old office. Ruby rings and lets Yumi know, although our protagonist shrugs it off, claiming that “if they meet, they meet.” However, Yumi intentionally avoids any area that Bobby frequents. At least to begin with anyway. ..
Eventually Yumi begins visiting these areas, even going dressed up “like a bum”, according to the Cells.
Yumi is waiting in line at a coffee shop when she notices Bobby, who has been assigned back to head office. He’s much more relaxed than she is, and he admits that he’s been looking forward to his return. ..
Yumi is really happy to hear that Bobby has been reading her book and is glad that he’s getting better at writing. She also opens up to him and tells him how she’s been feeling since he last saw her.
We follow Bobby as he returns home from a meeting in Seoul, where he had a bad experience with Da-Eun. He decides to avoid the places Yumi was frequenting in order to calm down.
Anyway, Bobby is trying to talk to Yumi about his actions. “Why should I give you any of my time?” Yumi quizzes. “I never missed you.” ..
Bobbi refuses to listen though and claims she’s a liar. Eventually Yumi is swayed by his words. She leans forward and collapses in tears in his arms. While they hug, Yumi’s Reason Cell is kept in limbo while Yumi deliberates over whether it’s a good idea to date Bobby again or not. Well, she takes a leap of faith and decides to do just that.
Yumi decides to start dressing up, using her Fashion Cell to get back in the swing of things. Yumi’s friends Control Z comment on her outfit when she shows for their usual meeting.
Woong shows up just after, and it soon becomes apparent that he and Control Z have set her up to get a lift back in a bid to be a matchmaker. Although she doesn’t want everyone to know about her relationship, Yumi decides to go out for a drink with Woong and let him know about dating Bobby again.
This news completely shatters Woong’s heart as he tries (and fails) to explain himself. After rambling about how bad this is, he eventually sticks with “good for you.” Unfortunately, this also means that Woong is relegated from friend status down to ex-boyfriend.
Yumi goes to the hospital to check on Woong, and when she arrives, she finds out that Woong is the one who was hurt. She tells Bobby about it, and he decides to go to the hospital himself.
Yumi suggests to her friend Bobby that she go and see him, pointing out that sticking around could be bad for her relationship. However, Yumi remembers how Bobby took care of her and decides to head out and get him some clothes, just like he did for her. Only… she leaves her phone at the hospital.
Bobby shows up looking for Yumi, but instead runs into Woong who is also up and about, looking for Yumi to give her phone back. After taking her phone, Woong watches as Bobby stuffs it in his pocket and thinks about looking through it. “Don’t worry, she doesn’t easily sway,” Woong says, “unlike someone else I know.”
The Episode Review
The best way to get back with your ex is to be honest with them, be open and understanding, and make sure that you have a clear understanding of what’s important to them. If you can do that, things will likely go better than if you try to force a reconciliation.
Yumi is currently abandoning reason for her heart, deciding to double down on being with Bobby…which seems like the complete wrong choice. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on the Bobby train since the start but seeing him in this season so easily lie to Yumi’s face and somehow be swayed by this young intern…I dunno man, Yumi deserves better.
Woong has improved himself significantly since the first season. It would have been interesting to see if Yumi could have rekindled what she had with Woong, but it seems like some bridges were burned too far. ..
The ending of the episode certainly hints that we’re about to get some feisty boyfriend-fighting, with Woong’s scathing (but true) jab at the end really piercing Bobby’s heart. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens next! ..
