“Yumi’s Cells” starring Kim Go Eun is ending this week but still records low ratings, will it improve in season 2?

Kim Go Eun's ongoing drama “Yumi's Cells” is airing the season’s finale tonight but so far, the series has not been able to achieve decent ratings. 

On October 29, the second last episode of “Yumi’s Cells” was broadcast and continued to record poor ratings when it only earned an average nationwide rating of 2%. Although the previous strong rival of “Yumi’s Cells”, “The Veil” already left the weekend drama competition last week, Kim Go Eun‘s latest rom-com is still not doing so well.

It is worth mentioning that tonight’s episode is not the official ending of “Yumi’s Cells” because according to the original plan, the drama still has an upcoming sequel. Based on the webtoon, in season 2, the male lead is no longer Ahn Bo Hyun’s character. This is also shown through the latest developments of the drama as Kim Go Eun’s character Yumi decides to take a break from her relationship with boyfriend Gu Woong (Ahh Bo Hyun). With season 1 getting low ratings and media coverage, will season 2 of “Yumi’s Cells” have a better performance or will it be a “flopped” TV project of Kim Go Eun
