Yumi's Cells 3, the upcoming rom-com starring Kim Go Eun and Kim Jae Won, is just weeks from its debut. The mini-series will premiere on Monday (April 13) and centers on the evolving dynamic between Yumi and Soon Rok. Actors Go Eun and Jae Won recently discussed their onscreen romance, sharing how they started enjoying time together.

According to Go Eun, the relationship between Yumi and Soon Rok will begin with them disliking each other. The duo initially doesn't feel comfortable with one another, but they will grow closer due to various factors, including their taste for food. Their differences are likely to bring them together in the third and final season of this fantasy romance drama.

"I hope viewers will warmly watch the relationship between Yumi and Soon Rok, who start off disliking each other but gradually grow closer through various turning points. I think Yumi was able to become a great writer because viewers laughed and cried with her on her journey from an aspiring writer to a famous romance author. I want to sincerely thank the 'viewer cells' for supporting Yumi's growth over a long period of time, and I will repay the long wait with a good project," the actress shared.
