Tving original drama “Yumi’s Cells” (2021-) will return for a third season on April 13, the streaming platform said Wednesday.

Starring actor Kim Go-eun in the titular role of Yumi, the drama gained popularity for combining live action with 3-D animation, a first for a Korean drama.

Season three will continue to follow Yumi, a woman in her 30s who is now a successful author, as she meets another romantic interest during her journey of self-discovery and professional life.

“Yumi’s Cells” is based on a webtoon of the same name. The webtoon accumulated 3.5 billion views when it was released between 2015 and 2020 on Naver Webtoon.
