Synopsis[edit]

Season 1[edit]

The drama tells the story of an ordinary office worker from the perspective of the brain cells in her head that control her every thought, feeling and action.

Yumi (Kim Go-eun) is an ordinary woman. Her love-cell falls into a coma following the shock of a failed relationship. The drama will depict her growth and transformation as her cells work hard to wake up the love cell.

Goo Woong (Ahn Bo-hyun) is a game developer who is an engineer to the core. Although he doesn't speak emotionally, he tries to wake up Yumi's love-cell with his simple and honest personality.
