In Yumi's Cells 3, Kim Jaewon becomes aware of his feelings for Kim Go-eun with only the final episode left.
In episodes 5 and 6 of the TVING original Yumi's Cells 3, released on the 27th, Sunrook (played by Kim Jaewon) belatedly realized he liked Yumi (played by Kim Go-eun). As a result, Sunrook's confession awakened not only Yumi but also the cells of viewers.
That day, Sunrook was inflamed by Juho (played by Choi Daningre), who used a workshop as an excuse to approach Yumi. When Juho tried to contact Yumi under the pretext of an after-party, Sunrook blocked them by suggesting they watch a movie together with Yumi.
However, Juho appeared at the movie theater. This instead led to a misunderstanding that he was trying to set up Juho and Yumi. Yumi, who liked Sunrook, showed displeasure toward both Juho and Sunrook and was disappointed.
But Sunrook chased after Yumi and explained. Yumi cleared up the misunderstanding, but at the same time Sunrook sensed Yumi's feelings and drew a line by suggesting a blind date. Ultimately, to protect her pride, Yumi even introduced Jenny (played by Jeon Soyoung) to Sunrook. Ironically, Sunrook was disturbed by Yumi arranging the blind date.
Meanwhile, Juho approached Yumi once again. He visited under the pretext of apologizing and to give wine as a gift. Sunrook even broke his promise for a blind date with Jenny and went to find Yumi and Juho. He ended up in a scuffle with Juho and went to Yumi, confessing, "Anyway, I think I like you, writer."
The moment the principle of 'separation of roles' was broken, Sunrook realized his feelings and awakened. Yumi had already realized her own feelings earlier. That left only for Sunrook and Yumi to get together. In fact, Yumi's Cells 3 is an eight-episode series, and only episodes 7 and 8, the final episodes, remain to be released.
In the meantime, Yumi's Cells 3 has gained popularity, ranking first in TVING's weekly new paid subscribers from the 20th to the 26th, the second week after release. According to ratings tracker Nielsen Korea, after the TVING pre-release the tvN broadcast also took first place in its time slot among cable TV and general programming.
Riding that momentum, Kim Jaewon has emerged as the trending younger man. Attention is focused on the outcome of the older man-younger woman romance that Kim Go-eun and Kim Jaewon will show until the end of Yumi's Cells 3.
