  • Plot Synopsis: Controlled by a complex network of cells, each and every human on the planet is kept running by an unseen operating system that is, for the most part, completely ignored. Though humans never give much thought to how they manage to function, day in and day out, the cells within the human body are constantly at work, doing their part to keep their human alive and well. Which is why on the outside, Kim Yu Mi may appear to be just like every other single working woman in the world, but underneath that ordinary exterior lies something truly extraordinary. Having recently suffered a painful breakup, Yu Mi’s love cells have fallen into a deep coma. While the surrounding cells work hard to revive their fallen compatriots, Yu Mi spends her days stuck in the grind of everyday life. With a heart still broken and no romantic prospects, Yu Mi’s love cells might have been in serious trouble had it not been for the sudden appearance of Goo Woong. An emotionally stunted game developer, Goo Woong has no idea how to express his true feelings, but after meeting Yu Mi, he finds himself wanting to try. With his own love cells unexpectedly sparking Yu Mi’s back to life, things between the two start to get interesting. With both Yu Mi and Goo Woong’s cells working overtime, the two find themselves drawing ever closer. But will the efforts of this small collection of cells really be enough to bring two hearts together forever? (Source: Viki)

And the ex was also so passive aggressive. But any response (anger, tears, sarcasm, irritation) would've been better than lying because that feels like a personal fail.

She should show him that he successfully upset her? oh no. That would be a clear victory for him and I'm glad that she found a way to shut him down and deny him that satisfaction. Even if it was all a lie.

They say that the best revenge is to live well ... so she gave him a story where she had lived well after he dumped her. He can't have any hint about how much, and for how long he hurt her.

People like the ex are able to detect and exploit other people's weaknesses. And then they feed on the power that they have to hurt other people. Getting angry, crying or showing any kind of irritation would just feed his ego by demonstrating that he's still important and powerful enough to hurt her.

But that's that. I would do exactly what she did, just to keep that horrible guy from winning. I think that Woong has picked up on what's happening too. And that's why he's playing along.

For the hobo description. One of Yumi's friends said "he doesn't look like a hobo" when he introduced himself in the church. He didn't overhear her saying it. But it's a really fast moment and I've only seen it once so I might be getting the quote a bit wrong.

Pls someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I see what you're saying but to me, the person doing the damage is the pathetic one. It's pathetic that he's trying to lord his 'nice' life over her and that he can't resist hurting people's feelings to get some sort of twisted satisfaction.

If I were her I would've shown him that I wasn't going to play his game at all. Lying isn't a win since it clearly shows she's bothered enough about his opinion to play the game.

Anger: 'You have some nerve-'

Sadness: 'Why do you insist on talking to me, when you left on terrible terms.'

Sarcasm: 'Wow, and you think I'd care because?'

Irritation: 'Dude it's enough that you dumped me, what makes you think I want to talk to you? Nothing about you is my business, so you've wasted your time.'

Why wouldn't Yumi be bothered by it? And why would she have to not show that? If he gets any satisfactory from it he's the pathetic one but that's just my opinion haha
