Things that I like: 

1. Woong’s Brain Cells have an algorithm.

Being a programmer, he’s used to flowcharts where he can evaluate his options given his specific situation and come up with the best decision. But I also like that his brain cells can override his logical answer, like when he decided that it was urgent to carry Yumi to the hospital, regardless of their relationship status.

Is this a distance where you can carry her and run there? Yes.
Are you in a relationship where you can carry this princess? No.
Is this the time to nitpick over that? No. It isn’t.

Or when he decided to lie and claim himself as her guardian. (I thought he doesn’t lie??)

Are you Kim Yumi’s guardian? No.
Although you are not the guardian, do you want to be her guardian? Yes.

However, I do wonder if we’ll ever see an Emotional Cell like we do with Yumi.

2. Woong’s Love Cell is devious.

The frog freed the trapped Rational Cell and Emotional Cell, soldered the broken antenna of Hunger Cell, destressed the whole village, fenced in Hysterius, and rescued the stranded Love Cell and Inner Feelings Cell.

But when the frog unzipped its costume, I thought it was a pervert. Lol.

3. The Dream Theater

This makes so much sense. After a heart-fluttering moment, our brain cells are reliving each single minute right before we fall into deep sleep.

4. Woong’s defense mode is a bear.

According to his brain cells, a bear is someone who can’t understand or can’t take a hint. He is dull, and has no memories.

Didn’t he already tell Yumi that he was naturally obtuse?

Woong: Is it okay for me to wake you up?
Yumi: I’m telling you that it’s okay.
Woong: I’m not perceptive so if you tell me to do it, I really will do it.

It seems to me thought that he isn’t that “slow-witted” if he can detect and evade four of SaeYi’s attack.

He declined to play memory games with SaeYi which would prove that he liked her before.

He avoided sitting beside her by switching seats.

He rejected SaeYi’s drunk-confession of her secret crush for him.

Last, he blocked her attempt at skinship.

5. Her Naughty Cell…

Is really naughty. It doesn’t even wear pants.

It incites other cells to do and think naughty things.

Naughty = lustful

And didn’t you laugh when it got spanked by the Love Cell? I thought that was naughty…

6. His Naughty-saurus Cell…

Is fixated on collarbones. Yes. I’m sure dinosaurs are into collarbones like dogs are into bones. The details are good, though. It has a saddle on top of its curly hair for “riding” purposes. hahaha.

Note about that fabric softener. He was distracted so he picked up the fabric softener instead of laundry detergent. Laundry detergent will remove the coffee stain. Using the fabric softener can also leave its own stain on the already stained white dress.

B. Things that made me go hmmmm…

Foreshadowing. Foreshadowing. Foreshadowing.

1. Yumi’s password

Her password has 28 digits (Woong only has 4). Although I like that Woong bypassed the password by being cute, I think this’ll be a problem later. He needs to know her password and he can only do this in time, with familiarity.

2. He finds her cute all the time.

What’s up with that? I wish he wouldn’t repeatedly refer to her cuteness. Maybe later, he’ll be more interested in her personality and her mind, not just her aesthetics.

3. The bulletin board

The Bulletin Board Cell tossed away the message, “Chae Woogi is your destiny.” Hmmm… was it her officemate, Wook,  who said that they would be a perfect match?

Viki subs translated the next statement as, “Destiny does not exist. It’s all a choice.”

I prefer the subs at Kissasian. It said, “Your destiny is a matter of choice.”

I told you to watch out for subbers, right? Many of them don’t understand that there’s a difference between destiny and fate. Yumi doesn’t believe in fate because she believes that she can make her own destiny with her choices.

I noticed that in Korean kdramas, fate and destiny are often interchanged. Even the subbers do this. They use the English word “destiny” when fate is the term they actually mean. However, in Western philosophy, fate and destiny aren’t the same. There’s a subtle but very defined distinction between fate and destiny.

I’ve written about this difference several times in that other site and I think I need to bring it up here again.

Fate is something you have no control over. You cannot change it. It’s pre-set and pre-determined for you. It’s been given to you and it shapes who you are. It could be the family, physical abilities, economic status you were born in, your country or your race. When you say that fate is “written in the stars,” there’s this sense that your future is something out of your reach like the stars, and something beyond your control like cosmic movement. Therefore, you allow events to happen according to “fate” unresistingly, passively.

On the other hand, destiny is what you do with this fate given to you. You have control over your destiny. You can change your destiny. You can mold it. You can even recreate it.

The big difference between fate and destiny is choice. You have a free will to choose what to make of your own destiny while with fate, you’re bound to it.

In the Western mindset then, fate is usually tied to a sense of resignation and passive acceptance, and the connotation is usually negative. That’s why we have words like fatal, ill-fated, fatalism and fatalistic. There’s a sense of being mortal, disastrous, and doomed, for instance, “The rebels were fated to die in battle” or “He was fated to live in the slums.”

…which is so different from destiny.

With destiny, there’s a sense of hope, of triumphing over adversities, of fighting against your limitations and of doing your best. That’s why we usually hear, “He’s destined for greatness” and not “He’s destined to become a loser.” Instead, we say, “he’s fated to lose.”

A presidential candidate can feel that he’s “destined to win” the elections, but never is he “fated to win” elections because elections, in theory and practice, must be won by hard work and campaigning.

C. The thing that I dislike

I mentioned this already in a comment section but let me make a note of it here.

My only complaint (I’ll just raise this point once — or twice) is the show is a bit sexist. For example, Yumi has to be in love to function properly. Her love cell is her primary cell. I would have preferred it if the love cell was also a self-love cell, but her love cell is a romantic one. Maybe it’ll transform later in the future.

Also, GW’s brain cells have an algorithm they can follow while Yumi only has the reasoning cell and emotional cell arguing with each other, with the rest of the cells just chiming to voice their support for either one. I wish Yumi also had an algorithm because hey…many women do follow logic, too. Women can be hard-wired like GW.

Additionally, I thought she would have a Calculating or Analytical Cell that functions similar to Woong’s brain cells. After all, she’s an accountant. She should be able to mentally envision possible outcomes based on the set of data at hand.

But I get it. And I see that Yumi tries to balance their relationship when she offers to pay her share or treat GW out to dinner to return a favor…like an accountant.

I think when this webtoon was conceptualized, the writer (who happens to be male) had the “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” mindset and wasn’t steeped in the sexual politics of woke-ness. Thank goodness, though! The humor and wit of this show would be totally destroyed if the writer had to abide by the rules of woke culture.
