The second season of hit television series “Yumi’s Cells” will begin to air from June 10, according to local streaming platform Tving on Thursday.

The series is produced by Studio Dragon, Marycow and Studio N and distributed by Tving.

Based on the popular Naver Webtoon of the same title, the narrative centers around an average 30-something-year-old woman named Kim Yumi and some 200 different cells residing in her brain. Each of the cells has a different purpose, with some controlling her thoughts, some her emotions and others her behavior.

The original webtoon is one of the most popular webtoon series to date, with its 512 episodes having garnered some 3.2 billion views during its five-year run.

As the teaser images and posters hinted, the second season will revolve around the romance between Yumi and her soon-to-be boyfriend Bobby. The first season revolved around Yumi’s romance with Goo Woong, whom she broke up with in the final episode.

Actors Kim Go-eun, Park Jin-young and Ahn Bo-hyun will reprise their roles as Yumi, Bobby and Goo Woong.
