A light rom-com with an original concept of "emotional transfer."
The drama "Empathy Cells" premiered on July 4, 2026, on Lifetime, U+ Mobile TV, and Disney+.
Cha Eun-hwan is a psychologist who feels others' emotions too intensely. His methods have brought him fame, but after an unexpected incident, his life begins to fall apart. On the brink, he meets someone from his past. Yoo Ji-an is a former member of the "idol nation" group, now an actress. Since childhood, she has suppressed her emotions under her mother's control, and now her acting is criticized for a lack of empathy. An emotional transfer occurs at Eun-hwan's office — and lost feelings return.
It's a light rom-com with a fantastic element of "emotion transfer."
Short format: 8 episodes.
If you like stories about "exchange of feelings" and actor chemistry — it's worth a watch.
