Love Cells

Love Cells

Love Cells is a Korean TV series I watched on Netflix, with two seasons of different casts following four extremely different "couples".  

 

The plot

Season 1- Ma Dae-choongs love cell escapes from his body after he is ready to give up on love however it gets swallowed by his cat Nebi and can transform from cat to girl it sounds strange but is well explained in the first episode. Dae-choongs true love is Seo Rin a famous Korean singer whom he has never met before which seeming optimistic with the help of his love cell they meet changing everything for Seo Rin. Her whole career is planned out with the famous actor she will marry, meaning the story focuses on how Seo Rin's life changes for the better and the worse.

Season 2- Tae-Joon deposited his love cell 5 years ago and after escaping she is also consumed and transformed into the cat Nebi. Tae-Joon is a famous TV chef who cannot feel love as he has given up his love cell so when Nebi returns he does not welcome his new found feelings. Tae-Joon has many admirers including the villain who is a stereotypical Korean antagonist. Tae-Joons true love is Ye-Bom who is considering losing her love cell, season 2 is not as exciting as season 1 however the ending and character Nebi makes watching it worth while. 

Best Moments 

The best moments of season 1 would have to be watching some of the crazy outfits Nebi the love cell cat-girl wears and her determination to help everyone to be with their soul mate. Other best moments would be the introduction of the love cell gadgets which include many funny props such as fox ears which mean you can listen to what people are thinking. This is funny as for each gadget there is a sales man who explains what each item does, he speaks half American and half Korean and uses amusing turns of phrases. A best moment of season 2 would be the ending as everyone gets their just ending meaning that the season is fulfilling.   

Love cells is a strange Korean drama although with the hints of sci-fi always making it an addicting story line it must be watched out of the curiosity of Nebi, as to what happens to a star/girl/cat-hybrid.
