Bobby’s Secret
Yumi’s Cells Season 2 starts with us jumping back through time and following Da Eun-Yi as she starts work. She can’t stop looking at Bobby and calls him “HGW”, which stands for Handsomeist Guy in the World. She starts liking her Team Leader from the very first day, and even more so when she realizes they live in the same neighbourhood.
Eun-Yi sees this as a sign from fate that they are meant to be together. When Bobby picks her up to take her to work, she realizes he has a girlfriend in Yumi. This initially disappoints Eun-Yi, but she eventually comes to accept it as part of their destiny. ..
In the present, Yumi shows up at the coffee shop to get herself some breakfast. Eun-Yi is there and she calls Yumi cool, admitting that Bobby has been praising her at work regarding her writing. Yumi shrugs off the rival threats, realizing she’s just a baby.
Yumi and Dae-Yeong went to college together 14 years ago, and he always had the hots for her. He’s struggled to approach her, but Yumi actually remembers this encounter and points out how absurd it was to Bobby. Unbeknownst to her of course, he’s now the editor!
When Yumi shows up to meet Dae-Yeong, he thinks it’s fate, having been unaware of what her name is all this time. His Cell Land is utterly bizarre… and hilarious as Love Cell takes charge and tries to make things romantic. Dae-Yeong struggles to look Yumi in the eye, acting coldly as a result.
Love Cell is thinking of acting coldly toward Yumi for a while and then starting to show affection in order to avoid getting hurt like he did in the past.
Unfortunately, he steers way too hard into the cold aspect of his relationship. He’s incredibly hard on Yumi and pushes up the deadlines for her writing. However, he also gives her some doughnuts too, showing that he really does care. Interestingly, this also has the adverse effect of making Bobby a little worried and jealous too.
That night, Dae-Yeong is happy with her manuscript and lets her know as much. Not only that, but he also invites Yumi out to dinner too. It’s all a strategic plan to try and win Yumi over.
Dae-Yeong is scrolling through his social media feed when he notices a picture of Yumi and Bobby together. He realizes they have a promise ring. Dae-Yeong decides not to break them up, as Reason Cell manages to snap some sense into him. For now, Dae-Yeong is going to stay as her editor and do what’s right.
The next day, Bobby phones Yumi and tells her that Eun-Yi has decided to quit. She’s going to go and work in Busan. He also admits that he’s a little jealous of the Editor getting her doughnuts and wine.
After their chat, Bobby heads out where he runs into Da Eun-Yi at the bus stop. Eun-Yi admits that she’s the type to fall for someone easily but Bobby knows exactly what she’s saying, realizing it’s about him. ..
Bobby tells her it’s probably for the best not to speak up about their true feelings. When he leaves though, Bobby is concerned that this could mean his feelings are changing. He’s conflicted over how he feels and his Cell land ends up with a big ol’ earthquake as a result. ..
The Episode Review
The editor and Dae-Yeong are both trying to figure out their relationship. Dae-Yeong is trying to be the perfect romantic, while Dae Eun-Yi is trying to figure out how to be herself without being too different from her friends.
It’s a gut-wrenching feeling but Dae-Yeong’s courage and true persona comes out when he decides not to disrupt Yumi’s relationship.
However, then you have the Dae Eun-Yi situation with her clearly liking Bobby. Bobby has admitted that she’s cute and learning that she actually likes him has left the guy conflicted. ..
Bobby seems to be really into Yumi, but it’s come as a bit of a shock to him that she seems to like him back. It’s possible that this is just a ploy by Bobby to get closer to Yumi, but I don’t think he would actually leave her for her. ..
This week’s double bill has had just as much drama and comedy as the previous weeks. Yumi’s Cells is a really refreshing watch and this week’s double bill is a great way to spend your time.
