The crux of the K-drama is Yumi’s love cell no longer exists after a bad breakup. It reawakens when she is set up on a blind date with Goo Woong (Ahn Bo-hyun). Their relationship goes incredibly well, but there are a few hiccups. While Yumi is in a good relationship, she meets Yoo Babi.

In the beginning, Yoo Babi is also in a committed relationship but gets dumped by his girlfriend. Babi is the one who pushes Yumi to transfer to the marketing department and use her writing skills. Fans know Babi sees Yumi as more than a coworker and friend. He is often her impromptu voice of reason. At one in the K-drama, he teases that there is someone he likes but does not say who.

Yumi has an idea as she has budding feelings toward Babi. But she brushes them away because she is dating Woong. In Yumi’s Cells Episode 14, he notices they are taking a break, and he battles to tell her the truth but does not. In the finale of the K-drama, romance rules were broken as Woong calls for a break-up.

According to Soompi, the creators of K-drama planned for Yumi to explore a new relationship with Babi in Yumi’s Cells Season 2.
