This is a very wholesome - heartwarming franchise, with simple romance slash everyday things (workplace, daily life) that almost anyone can relate, and hilarious.

If you're someone who already read the original webtoon, you wouldn't be disappointed! The cast was spot on, the animation is top-notch, great production. And most importantly, it follows the webtoon plot pretty well (though you can't expect every single little thing to be the same from an adaptation). Overall this exceeded my expectations, i'm very happy to see how it turns out. Cannot wait for season 2!

Somehow, people don't seem to understand this series? The show is a breakdown of human emotion and the process of falling in and out of love. I felt I could relate to the characters through the entire show. Waiting for season 2!

Surprisingly this live action + animation drama blended so so so well. Casts are so perfect. Kim Go Eun really suit the main lead. She conveys all of those emotions perfectly as we can feel what she felt from mixed kind of emotions. The other cast also performing their role really well. A lot of lessons to be learnt too... Love yourself. Kind of healing drama for me. The cells are really cute. What a great production. Kudoss to all the team I enjoyed it a lotttt. Re-watched it several times!.

I don't expect that much from this drama actually since I know how difficult it is to produce an animation drama BUT SHET! When I watched the first 2 episodes, my phone is already full of Yumi, Ugi, Woong and the cells' cuteness. Character's acting wise especially Kim Go-eun, she was able to portray the role of Yumi. Gosh she was able to switch her emotions in a matter of second. And Ugi gosh he's so cute. I mean, if I were Yumi, I'll fall for him, too 😭 And Ruby is annoyingly cute. She's irritating, noisy but I love that she's transparent and easy to read. And Woong HAHAHHAA gosh seems like he came out of Webtoon. He's so cute and his lame jokes. I love how Ahn Bo-hyun portray Woong's character.

AND THE ANIMATION, DAEBAK! 😭 I can't say anything because it's soooo perfect. And the voice actors behind the cells are all so great.

I can't wait to watch the next episodes. I love this drama already. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it since I'm not a fan of animation but I guess, Yumi's Cells is an exemption.

YUMI, HWAITING! *insert cells' voice*

This show is soo soo amazing! I was a bit conscious on how the cells will b brought to life but the animation is top notch, the sync between the cells & real life is amazing!

Would suggest watching if you are into cute stories dealing with complex emotions in a fun way!

Kim go eun ,ahn bohyun choi minho are all amazing!!!

Skeptical on how this proction would come out. Its undoubtedly an excellent production ever, considering it is a first of its kind from S. Korea. Best casting, directing, the cells very well synchronised, etc. Enjoyable, funny and will definitely take you on an emotional roller coaster. Brilliant acting. Kim Go Eun's acting is on another level. A magian actor indeed. All the best Yumi Cells!

Kim GoEun is perfect for Yumi! Cheese in the trap is classic example she adapted super well to the webtoon earlier. I read Yumi cells and it's by the book which is quite refreshing they didn't meddle with the storyline. I was skeptical at first how cells would translate in animation but to my surprise they are super cute, relatable and fun. It's such a smart concept and no wonder everyone loved webtoon. Its an absolute no nonsense show which is super refreshing in KDrama. They have my total admiration for doing such a phenomenal job. Looking forward for more!

Sooo underrated right now, this is a MUST SEE. I'll be honest I wasn't really feeling it at first, but it's actually adorable. Give it 2 episodes and you will be hooked. So cute and insightful.

I was curious to see what was going to happen when the 2 main characters would meet. It happened pretty fast and I started to get bored after that. I'm personally not a fan of day-to-day life shows like this one. And the cells moments when they're explaining all the feelings these two have, can be boring after a few episodes. I couldn't finish it.

From the first episode I was hooked up and I love all their characters and how the story runs! No dull scenes! Everyone should watch this. I can't wait to see Yumi's ex boyfriend. Hihi.

Yumi's Cells is the first show whose ending disturbed me so much that I couldn't sleep the whole night. I won't reveal any spoilers, but after season 1 disaster ending, I did read the entire webtoon plot and can say it is way more disappointing. I have finally decided not to watch any more seasons.

PS: I rarely write any reviews, so you can guess how disturbed I am. Just to stretch the storyline for another season or two, they forcibly ruined the main thing that this story had to offer.

Yumi's Cells has completely exceeded my initial expectations. It's funny and cute, but its realistic story also brings a roller coaster of emotions to the stand. Every episode is packed with content, so anyone who likes a fast-paced drama will certainly like this one. As expected, Kim Go Eun never disappoints.

Great cast... Great production.... Great acting.... Great anime.... So far Great everything really.....because wow 👌.

The acting of all involved is outstanding ...

This is gonna be one of the best dramas this year, so proud of the entire production....you guys outdid yourselves....

Great Great work🖤

A well made web-drama I'm speechless, its just a Perfection !!!!

The way they potray the cells, the characters and all of it really synchronised with the webtoon!! Really, expect the unexpected for this drama😍 One of my healing show on this pandemic😭Thankyou so much to whoever participate in this wonderful project!!!🔥

Yumi's Cells is a refreshing, heart-melting, relatable, and healing Korean drama of 2021. I never expected to be hooked on the story, but when I progressed in watching and waiting all night for every episode, I was surprised by the magic it gave me. And I decided to try to read the webtoon and buy another episode because it was so addicting. And all I can say is that the series is very in sync with the original webtoon, which I really love. I can definitely say that this is the best webtoon to drama adaptation in the history of K-Drama. The acting of the cast is superb, the directing and writing of the script are very creative and on-point, and the editing of the cells is of high quality. This drama is the definition of perfection. Saranghae Yumi and Go Eun. Rooting for the best girl to get the awards and nominations for Yumi's Cells. To all the casts and crews of this series, you all did a great job. I can't wait to watch more. Thank you for showing and letting us join Yumi's journey!

I did not expect this drama to become one of my favorites. I started it without really knowing what it's about and thought it'd just be one of those cliché romance dramas, but it was so much better. The concept of having those "cells" convey what happens in your head in different situations is so smart, it's kind of like "Inside Out" the movie, but executed so much better and funnier, there were also so many more feelings and situations discussed, and all the cells are hilarious and relatable . A lot of people have a problem with the characters/ conflict in the relationship, but I think it's very realistic, although the characters make you mad for not expressing their feelings better and for causing misunderstandings. Anyhow, I enjoyed this drama so much. The romance is so cute and the cast is well chosen, and the acting is very good! I'm looking forward to the second season of this. The director is so smart and I hope the drama won't be ruined with the upcoming season.

This drama is a masterpiece. The way the actors and the animated cells are so well assimilated that as a viewer you will not find it awkward, is simply perfection! Also, Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun are so well cast for their roles. Ggone with her trademark real life acting and Bo Hyun with his very masculine screen presence will take the viewers to a new level of giddy. Viewers must watch the very emotional confrontation between Yumi and Woong, Kim Go Eun and Bo Hyun delivered a stellar performance in this scene.

Another worth mentioning are the outstanding work of Locus Production for the animated cells. Their artwork is flawless, each cell is so well designed. The voice actors bringing the cells to life also did a good job!

Over all, this drama is worth your time and your VIP subscription to VIKI, iqiyi or TVING.

Watch it and enjoy the journey of Kim Yumi and her cells.

I wanted to give this one a go particularly because of Jinyoung and I'm glad I did for his character, he acted it out so well!

The actual romance of the show was a bit irritating, I think that Yumi was a bit of an annoyance and Wung wasn't too great himself. Don't get me wrong here, it shows how our minds work for sure- I loved the cells, they were the best part of the whole show! It's just that the reasons for getting angry or annoyed, the way they have conversations and the result of their relationship- I just didn't enjoy it.

I would say watch this if you have nothing else to watch. The acting was great and the casting is awesome.

Well I was so curious to watch this drama as it is something different At first I thought that cells would be irritated but they are actually very funny and interested!( sometimes I catch myself thinking of them when I am into troubles lol )

I really liked the chemistry between yumi and woong , they was so perfect together that I feel bad for their break up but it was so smoothly developed that I was not blame anyone for this end.

Also I was really angry when babi talked to yumi and persuade her but after a couple of episodes I didn't have any problem with it :)

There are lots of really funny moments that I burst into laughing for hours and the ost is so catchy and suits so much! I liked every single cell and character!

Also I really enjoyed season 2 as well!

Everything is so well written and this kdrama is just so normal without over romantic and supernatural scenes that can happen only in kdramas .

At the end I couldn't choose which one team I should ship TEAM BABI OR TEAM WOONG , but everything is just so perfect that I didn't have any problem with the real end ;)

Highly recommended to everyone!!!!!!!!! You won't regret it.

A webtoon reader here. I was a bit sceptical about this production as the webtoon was so good and this was going to be the first-ever Korean live action + animation to be made. But wow. This truly exceede my expectations.

As a webtoon reader, I felt so satisfied with this adaptation. It's so faithful to the original source, they added a bit filler but it didn't ruin the essence of the story.

Yumi's Cells is a quiet simple story about an office worker, Yumi, and her feelings. It doesn't have such a complicated premise. And it's amazing how the production team and the actors turned it into an amazing series.

Kim Go-Eun's acting was impeccable. The way she portrayed many different emotions and moods in such a short period was top-notch. The cells were cute and the animation didn't disturb the live action. It was a very good combination. It's a must watch, especially for Korean drama enjoyers.
