Anticipation Builds for 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' with Kim Jae-won's 'Love-Hate Romance' with Kim Go-eun

The upcoming TVING original series, 'Yumi's Cells Season 3,' is set to showcase the quintessential 'love-hate romance' between Kim Jae-won and Kim Go-eun. Born in 2001, Kim Jae-won was known to have worked as a fashion model before his acting debut.

Scheduled for release on April 13, 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' recently unveiled character stills of Kim Jae-won as Sun-rok, a PD in the Julie Literature Department, who delivers harsh truths with a sweet face.

Returning after four years, 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' follows Yumi (played by Kim Go-eun), now a star writer, as she navigates unexpected encounters that bring laughter, tears, and love into her otherwise uneventful life. The series promises a relatable romance that stimulates the cells, with Kim Go-eun reprising her role as Yumi and the addition of rising star Kim Jae-won. The reunion of director Lee Sang-yeob and writers Song Jae-jung and Kim Kyung-ran further heightens expectations.

The stills reveal Kim Jae-won's contrasting charm, heightening anticipation. Outside, he appears impeccably groomed with a neat hairstyle and a perfect suit, exuding an aura of calmness and perfectionism. However, Sun-rok harbors a secret as a 'homebody.' His relaxed demeanor at home reveals a 'low-power mode' lifestyle, bringing a smile to viewers.

The main trailer previously released hints at the 'love-hate romance' as the rare fish 'Angry Fish' appears whenever Yumi, who leads a monotonous life, gets angry due to Sun-rok's presence. The playful romance between Yumi and Sun-rok promises to bring exciting changes.

Kim Jae-won, who is set to portray the classic 'love-hate romance,' expressed his excitement, saying, "I was thrilled as I've been a fan of the original work and the drama." He added, "I was captivated by the unique charm of the series and Sun-rok's on-off contrasting appeal." He further commented, "'Yumi's Cells' features Yumi, played by senior actress Kim Go-eun, and the cells, which are incredibly cute and lovable. It's a series where viewers become the cells and follow Yumi's emotional journey. This time, as Yumi meets Sun-rok, various events unfold. I hope viewers enjoy Sun-rok's strong sense of responsibility at work and his contrasting charm at home."

'Yumi's Cells Season 3' will premiere exclusively on TVING with two episodes every Monday at 6 PM starting April 13, and will air on tvN every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM with one episode each day.
