A Different World

Yumi’s Cells Season 2 begins with big changes in Yumi’s Cell Land. With Writer’s Cell installed as the Prime Cell, a big castle is erected to signify her dependence on her career.

Ruby tries to set up a blind date with her friend Yumi, but Yumi has other plans. ..

Thanks to Yumi’s failed relationship, she’s also been assassinating her fashion too, with Control Z even mentioning how Yumi has been dressing like a bum lately. Not only that, but Yumi is no longer stingy either, deciding to pay for drinks with her illustrator.

Yumi nonchalantly shrugs off why she and Bobby broke up, and because of her avid focus on writing, Yumi’s skills have improved a lot. She even gets the nod of approval from Control Z too.

Woong has changed too. He’s now the CEO for a game company and his successful game, Bow-Wow, has released and is a smash hit. ..

Woong has been motivated by his love for Yumi to work hard on his web development skills. He has also been nominated as one of Korea’s top developers because of the strong connection he has with Yumi.

Anyway, Bobby heads to the bookstore and decides to buy Yumi’s new book. Yumi shows up though and notices that the one she has just written has sold out. But how? Well, it turns out Bobby actually bought every copy from the bookstore! ..

The protagonist of the novel, Yumi, goes online to see the reaction to her novel and finds that most of the comments are positive, but one comment says “Absolutely no fun.” The comment has a more vitality than other comments and Control Z tries to help, screenshotting the comments himself - comments that reinforce how good the pictures are in the novel.

Woong has hired Control Z to be his illustrator for the second season of his game. When Yumi learns he’s a big success, she thoughtfully contemplates what this means. However, she also confirms that Woong was her ex-boyfriend too. Yumi also struggles to remember exactly why she broke up with Woong. ..

That afternoon, outside the bookstore, Woong and Yumi cross paths once more. Yumi is looking for a new book to read and Woong is looking for a new friend. They meet up thanks to Control Z, who attempts to play matchmaker.

Woong is taken aback by Yumi’s remarks but his heart begins to flutter, feeling those old feelings for Yumi once more.

When Woong learns from Control Z that Yumi broke up with Bobby, it only brings back old feelings stronger, with Love Cell all healed up from the past rage and disappointment.

Woong’s chances of winning seem to be looking up when Bobby, who was originally announced as the winner, reveals that he is back in Seoul and working in the marketing department. ..

The Episode Review

This episode has been full of suspense and intrigue as we follow the progress of Woong and Yumi. We see that Woong is doing better than ever before, but he still has some issues. For example, he bragging about his accomplishments which is a huge no-no in dating terms. However, his feelings have come back again, much stronger than before. This could mean that he’s about to make a move on Yumi.

Meanwhile, we also have Bobby who has moved back to Seoul again and that looks set to cause a particularly big problem for Yumi and her conflicting feelings.

It seems like we’re moving into love triangle territory now, although I personally feel like it would be a nicer ending if Yumi decides to focus on herself and just continue on with living her own best life. ..

Woong is back in the story, and this sets up an interesting dynamic going forward. Next week’s episodes are sure to be exciting! ..
