My Sweet Mobster

Good Enough

Korean Drama '' My Sweet Mobster '' is a romantic comedy, with a romance between miss sunshine and gone good mobster.

The drama utilizes this odd couple to the fullest, with their differences being used as a means for the comedy. The comedy was also enhanced by the band of ex-cons who were our mobster's crew and had created a beautiful found family along with the leading lady.

The romance was also cute and the couple had plenty of sweet and romantic moments.

However, the final episodes were boring and had few surprises to offer.

Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

A Fun and Light Drama to Watch

"My Sweet Mobster" was a delightful surprise that quickly became a favorite. I went in without any expectations and automatically fell in love, especially with the main guy, Seo Ji Hwan. As the CEO of a food company that offers fresh starts to ex-convicts, his character was both intriguing and endearing. Despite his gangland past that has a tendency to follow him even after retirement, Seo Ji Hwan maintains a murky personal history with no known vices. He has this tough exterior, but when he's with our female lead, Eun Ha, he turns into a cute little puppy, which was absolutely adorable to watch.

The plot moved fast, starting with lots of bickering and back-and-forth between the main leads before they both automatically fell in love. I loved how their relationship developed, with the push and pull creating just the right amount of tension before they finally admitted their feelings.

But what I loved even more than the first leads were the supporting characters, particularly the crew at Thirsty Deer. They were impeccable with their comedic relief and played a crucial role in bringing the leads together every time they had a fallout. The crew added so much warmth and humor to the drama, making it even more enjoyable to watch.

There is nothing bad I can say about this drama. Everything was so fluffy, light, and cute, making "My Sweet Mobster" a perfect feel-good watch. If you're looking for something that will make you smile from start to finish, this drama is definitely worth checking out.

LOVED IT. Will watch again for sure.

I absolutely adored this series!!
MSM is sweet, funny, and very very interesting. I must say that although I loved the main and secondary couples, the ones who stole my heart were the guys living with the ML. The true MVPs.
I really recommend this series to people who want to have a nice time without worrying too much about love triangles: girlypop has eyes for one man and one man only ;)
Of course I also recommend it to people who, like me, love watching men be pathetic (affectionate) and stop being functional because they are SO in love with the FL. Which, by the way, is totally comprehensible because she's sweet, intelligent and capable.

Ex Mob and Ms. Mini

I loved this drama so much. It is very underrated. very cheesy and funny. It may give second-hand embarrassment at the start, but as it goes, it's super good. The scenes are cliché,é but the actors portrayed them well. It may seem weird, but it's very light-hearted, easygoing and an amazing drama to binge-watch. I loved the tropes in this drama, the second leads were super cute together as well. I love that the ML looks nonchalant, serious, scary, and his voice is super timid, but he's such a pookie. There arent that much of a misunderstanding between the leads, but these two will forever remain in my heart. I would rewatch this when I finish a long and intense drama. This drama will give you a good laugh. The found family trope goes hard. I loved the fact that the 6 members despised her, but in the end, they will call her sister in law. highly recommend watching. I love it when the ML shows concern for the FL. This drama deserves more hype than it deserves. Hands down, one of the best dramas I have watched in 2024

It is an exciting watch

I should change my handle to "Shallow&Vain" because when Uhm Tae Goo is just so fiiiiine to watch and hear. Quite a leap from his usual noir projects but he delivers, with extra sharp jawline and cheekbones on the side.
This show has all the cliché you can think of but served in a very entertaining way, not boring at all.

All the couples are interesting to watch. How they end up as couples is a joy to watch. I was a bit worried about Mi Ho's arc that she would be a lovestruck girl but no, early on it is shown that Mi Ho is an independent woman with sensibility and I am beyond satisfied to see how she deals with her situation.

There is nothing much to analyse but so much to enjoy.

I’m not in this for the angst so I’m not gonna lie after the first half, it became a snooze

She’s so frustrating that she doesn’t see his intentions


And he’s tooo cute man I can’t take it, when she’s talking about her likes and dislikes and he’s just so invested that he was like yeah write it all down and give it to me, the dude is the greenest flag


before the synopsis change, and not reading it, ie not knowing this will be a cliche childhood connection, I had fun thinking it's an anti cliche, 2ml is the childhood connection and ml/fl loved each other as normal adults...

but If she’s 30, and he's 36, so as kids, it doesn't make sense for him to not forget a literal baby, if he was 12 and she was 6...
he was 16, she was 10... sure his life didn't revolved around love so he never dated, and he liked her again as a new person and he was happier she was the same kid
but she never forgot him, and again tho she liked him back as an adult and didn't know the truth till the end, but boom instead of more getting to know one another she was satisfied that was him



so things went down with that revelation, and 2ml became a creep that watched kids shows..

tho I am happy in small ways, they did become interested in each other just because, and their "dating" stage began before she knew he was the one she obsessively was looking for
and no matter the "destiny", I wished it wasn't such a big force in the plot, but otherwise they didn't have much plot and it's one draggy plot

Like I don’t understand how this annoyingly over aegyo fl unfit for her 30year old self, finally finally not only finds her creepy childhood crush, but also that adorable natural aegyo ml who she age shames for being older than her, and she doesn’t jump up at him and act double the cheesy aegyo together? Cuz now she’s too busy with work??
how did she never go around hugging him like dang girl was acting like she’s too good for him

Cute!

This was cute, but a bit too long in my opinion. I think 12-14 episodes would have been better.
I liked how this was primarily a feel-good drama, the bad guys didn’t take up too much time and were more ridiculous than scary! The show was cute, if not a little cringe at times, but I still enjoyed it and laughed here and there.

I wasn’t a big fan of Kang Ye Na; she acted like she was the only woman ever, like she was the only person ever working hard blabla. I just can’t stand a girl that doesn’t read the room on purpose: flirting with the male lead and acting like she had a claim on him when he clearly doesn’t give a fuck.
The Prosecutor was also super annoying. 1) still lowkey pursuing someone who clearly isn’t available is lame at your big age and 2) he was a useless character. He only existed to make the male lead act on his feelings for the female lead (most of the drama), but other than that… I also never really understood why Mr. goody-good-pants even liked Eun Ha.
I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Mi Ho to be honest. Both of the girls did not give off bestie energy at all, it was really weird. I had to skip all her scenes because I found her so annoying.

I loved the bromance and loyalty between our little mobster family and also the way they warmed up to the female lead😍That was super cute. The show is bright and colorful and cute, I think it’s perfect when you need something light and sweet for in-between!💌

good but…

The drama "Mon" wasn't bad at all—in fact, it started off great. I remember watching six episodes in two days, which is a lot for me. As it progressed, though, I found some scenes that were skippable.

I might be biased, but the prosecutor really carried the drama. His love for her was genuine, and I completely understood his reaction to her rejection, especially in the final scene.

For me, it was an 8, but the last two episodes felt poorly done or rushed. The fight scenes were cringeworthy, and the rest was dull.

This could have benefited from fewer episodes.

FAVORITE ROMCOM THIS 2024 SO FAR

This is my first ever review and I am so glad that I'm going to make a review for My Sweet Mobster. I have been waiting to watch a drama that would able to make me feel good like how the old kdramas made me feel. Even the OSTs are super great. The kind of OST that would surely elevate all your positive feelings. Uhm Tae Goo, I am so happy you did this project and you were finally introduced to bigger platforms. Hoping to see you more on projects like this but I kinda also like to watch you as a villan like your role in Age of Shadows. Way to go our King of Noir! Also, all the characters are perfectly casted. Although the story is not new for old fan of kdrama like me (childhood friends to lover theme is mostly used concept), this drama has its own charm. I am going to miss this drama so much. I don't think I can watch new drama for the mean time. I think i might just binge watch for 100th time fanmade videos and their so cute behind the scenes.

Me Mafioso Predileto

Minhas Primeiras Impressões de "My Sweet Mobster" (Meu Mafioso Predileto)

Prepare-se para ser sequestrado pelo charme irresistível de “My Sweet Mobster”! Este dorama é como um pacote de batatas fritas - você não consegue parar depois do primeiro episódio. Destaco especialmente o protagonista, o ator Uhm Tae Goo, que interpreta Seo Ji Hwan, cuja voz é tão poderosa que deveria vir com um aviso: “Perigo: Pode Causar Arrepios. Este dorama é mais uma oportunidade para as dorameiras se apaixonarem por um novo oppa.

A trama gira em torno de Seo Ji Hwan, um ex-gângster que, junto com seus afiliados, já cumpriu sua pena e decidiu mudar de vida. Ele cria uma empresa alimentícia e oferece cargos a seus antigos comparsas, visando reintegrá-los à sociedade como cidadãos respeitáveis. Contudo, essa reintegração não será fácil, pois a sociedade é extremamente preconceituosa.

Paralelamente, conhecemos Go Eun Ha, uma jovem doce, corajosa e trabalhadora que é YouTuber e produz conteúdo para crianças. Ela ama o que faz e sempre coloca o bem-estar das crianças em primeiro lugar, ao contrário da empresa que gerencia seu canal, que foca apenas em visualizações e propagandas, sem se preocupar com a qualidade e acessibilidade dos produtos anunciados.

Tanto Seo Ji Hwan quanto Go Eun Ha compartilham o desejo de fazer o bem às pessoas. No entanto, o encontro entre os dois é hilário e cheio de cenas cômicas. Sem dar spoilers, posso garantir que você vai rir bastante.

Já nesses dois primeiros episódios , Seo Ji Hwan se apaixona por Go Eun Ha, assistindo a todos os seus vídeos no YouTube com o coração acelerado. Convenhamos, doramas em que o protagonista masculino se apaixona primeiro são os melhores, especialmente quando ele é um ex-gângster charmoso com uma voz sedutora, disposto a proteger sua amada a todo custo.

A química entre os atores é palpável, transbordando pela tela. Convido todos a embarcarem nessa comédia romântica, que não só diverte, e faz suspirar, mas também traz mensagens importantes sobre reintegração social e a qualidade do conteúdo nas redes sociais. O que é mais importante: o número de visualizações ou a qualidade do conteúdo?
