Hit Webtoon rom-com Yumi’s Cells is receiving a k-drama adaptation that will be available to watch on Rakuten Viki on September 17th.
Yumi’s Cells is the next series in a long line of hit Webtoons to receive a highly-anticipated k-drama adaptation.
The live-action series will become available on Rakuten Viki on September 17th. With over 67 million monthly readers from around the globe, Webtoon is now one of the most popular international entertainment platforms on the web. Yumi’s Cells isn’t the first Webtoon series to receive a K-drama adaptation; Cheese in the Trap, What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, and Her Private Life are also popular rom-coms that received a live-action makeover after finding major success on Webtoon.
The Yumi’s Cells rom-com k-drama will star Kim Go Eun as the lead protagonist, Kim Yu Mi. On the surface, Yu Mi seems like an average single woman in the workforce, but this all changes after she experiences a painful breakup. Suffering from heart break, Yu Mi’s love cells become dormant, which prevents her from experiencing love as she falls into a mundane routine in her daily life. However, Yu Mi soon meets Goo Woong, played by actor Ahn Bo Hyun, who struggles with emotions and expressing himself. While he grapples with his true feelings, Goo Woong’s love cells begin to interact with Yu Mi’s love cells. As the pair’s love cells become more active, there is no telling how their story will unfold.
