The second season of Yumi's Cells and the Kim Go Eun and Park Jin Young pairing are huge hits with audiences.

Despite strong expectations, the first and second episodes of the second season of Yumi's Cells broadcast on June 10th.

It's a continuation of the first season, which starred Kim Go Eun as Yumi, an office worker who has recently broken up with her boyfriend.

With the passage of time, her connection with coworker Bobby (played by idol actor Park Jin Young) has evolved into something that makes her heart race a little.

As in season 1, the adorable animation of "cells" within Yumi's head quickly captivates viewers, and this second season is quickly becoming a hot subject.

In the latest TVING stats, we can see the impact of this enormous reception. Among all TVING original dramas, "Yumi's Cells" had the largest number of paid subscribers in its first week.

This is nearly four times the number of viewers who tuned in for the first season. "Yumi's Cells" appears to be off to a promising start.

Actor Ahn Bo Hyun plays Yumi's ex-boyfriend Gu Woong in the show's first season finale. Cell Village was raging in her thoughts, but it was not as depressing as it had been at the beginning of the season.

Cells are doing their best to keep up Yumi's composure without causing Yumi's daily life to fall apart, despite the breakup being difficult.

The only other person who has noticed Yumi's sadness since her split is her coworker Bobby, who brings a new sense of excitement into the mix.

The cells are won over by Bobby's kindness to Yumi, and they organize a fan club to show their support for him, complete with t-shirts and lightsticks. But Yumi's "love cell" is still paralyzed by Woong's actions, so she cautiously rebuffed Bobby's attempts.

In spite of this, Bobby's honesty, sincerity, and consideration are gradually overcoming Yumi's reluctance. Her two cells make her heart beat faster even if she isn't in love with Bobby at the moment.

Sadly, just as Yumi begins to develop feelings for her coworker, she learns the surprising news that Bobby has agreed to go on a blind date with someone fresh! To show her sorrow, she looks behind her at Bobby.

Yumi's story has captivated viewers from the start with its little exhilaration and relatability. Bobby steals the show as a scene stealer despite the fact that "Yumi's Cells" is a genuine love story.

Yumi and Bobby's flirtation and slow-burn romance keep viewers interested in the show and anxious to see where their romance goes. The cells' antics are causing a lot of excitement because they're competing with Bobby's team and Bobby's team against Bobby.

In addition, Kim Go Eun and Park Jin Young have a special chemistry that has made them a household name.

Aside from Kim Go Eun's acting ability, the actress's post-breakup feelings have also been praised for their subtlety and ability to empathize with viewers. Bobby, played by Park Jin Young, has all the makings of a great boyfriend: he's sympathetic, thoughtful, and obnoxiously good-looking.

Every Friday at 4 p.m. KST, "Yumi's Cells" Season 2 premieres.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
