The lineup for 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' has been confirmed.
Returning after three years, the TVING original series 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' (directed by Lee Sang-yeob, written by Song Jae-jung and Kim Kyung-ran, provided by TVING, produced by Studio Dragon, Meri Cow, and Studio N) depicts Yumi (played by Kim Go-eun), who has returned as a star writer, and her cells that still only know Yumi, as they grow once again and tell a love story that resonates with viewers.
'Yumi's Cells', which received praise for its innovative combination of live-action and 3D animation, has been produced in seasons and has been loved for a long time. Yumi's everyday life and love story, depicted in a witty yet relatable manner, has brought excitement and laughter to many, earning it the title of 'life drama.'
In the meantime, Kim Go-eun's comeback, which completed the formula 'Yumi=Kim Go-eun', and the addition of actor Kim Jae-won have heated up online discussions, proving their continued popularity. Additionally, the reunion of trusted director Lee Sang-yeob and writers Song Jae-jung and Kim Kyung-ran has heightened expectations.
Above all, the synergy of reliable actors who will deliver both delightful laughter and relatable emotions is drawing attention. Kim Go-eun, returning as 'Yumi' after three years, is expected to captivate viewers once again with her dynamic performance.
Previously, Yumi, who challenged herself with a new dream of becoming a 'writer', achieved great success as a romance novelist who captures readers' hearts. However, love remains a challenge for her. The cell village seems to be in a temporary lull, with nothing exciting happening, when the appearance of the reindeer (played by Kim Jae-won) brings a fresh change.
The man who will shake up Yumi's cell village, 'Reindeer', is played by rising young actor Kim Jae-won. With a sweet face but unexpected 'truth bombs', he is the new PD of the Julie Literary Company, a character with surprising charm.
While it seems that only the 'rational cells' will dominate, the reindeer faces unexpected situations as he takes charge of the emotional cells of Yumi, the writer. Curiosity is building around his performance, which will showcase a heart-fluttering chemistry with Kim Go-eun.
Jeon Seok-ho also returns as 'An Dae-yong', the editor-in-chief of Julie Literary Company. He is the benefactor who debuted Yumi as a writer and is the husband of Lee Da (played by Mi-ram), living a busy life.
The new faces joining this season are also eye-catching. The uniquely charming Choi Daniel plays 'Kim Joo-ho', the representative writer of the Julie Literary Company, who is a power extrovert. Kim Joo-ho is a new character not found in the original work, and he is expected to upgrade the drama's fun with his contrasting charm to the reindeer.
Meanwhile, Yumi's lively assistant writer 'Baek Na-hee' is played by Jo Hye-jung, showcasing a bubbly energy. Mi-ram, who returns this season, plays Yumi's friend 'Lee Da', boasting a fantastic chemistry with Yumi. Additionally, Park Se-in transforms into Yumi's PD 'Jang PD', adding realism to Yumi's writer life.
The news of special appearances by actors from Seasons 1 and 2 is also noteworthy. Sung Ji-roo plays 'Kim Man-sik', Yumi's father who only thinks of Yumi, while Lee Yu-bi returns as the irresistibly charming 'Lee Ru-bi'.
'Yumi's Cells Season 3' will be released on TVING in 2026.
