Love
Cells (2015-2016)
Grade:
B-
2 seasons, 15 episodes, then 12
episodes (6 minutes each)
Unemployed, 29-year-old Ma Dae Choong is
about to lose his love cell, and when that dies, he will lose all
ability to ever love again. What happens when mischievous cat Navi
swallows the waning cell, turning into a human? Will Dae Choong be
able to woo the impossible and save his love cell's life? Or will he
let the movie star date a more suitable man instead?
In the second season, famous chef Tae
Joon has locked his love cell at the local love cell bank, so he can
focus on his career instead of stewing on a past failed relationship.
Will Navi be able to convince Tae Joon to take back his love cell and
take his cooking to the next level, or will this love cell
incarnation die at the hands of the flirtatious co-host who wants Tae
Joon for herself?
*These
webisodes moved really quickly, but the ending of the first season
was rather ambiguous – I still don't know if Dae Choong kept his
ability to love or not. While I liked the idea of a second season,
using Navi in more than one capacity, it was not as funny as the
first, probably because she didn't use any magical tricks like
before. It was also odd that suddenly everyone knows what love cells
are and keeping them in a bank was acceptable, when in the first
season, nobody seemed to know what they were and it was imperative to
use the love cell or it would expire. I would be interested to see if
they do a third season and how Navi is used then. I might watch this
again.*
