“Yumi’s Cells”

Following the successful first two seasons, Season 3 will see Kim Go Eun’s return as the titular Yumi who becomes a star author after much hard work. Although she achieves great success as a romance novelist who captures the hearts of her readers, love remains the most difficult challenge for Yumi. The village of her cells seems to be in a state of quiet pause with nothing exciting happening until the arrival of Soon Rok (Kim Jae Won), who brings a refreshing change to Yumi’s life.
