How do people even enjoy this?
Maybe if you’re in for some light fun, this is the one for you. Personally, I can’t help but judge the characters by their personalities when it comes to enjoying dramas. The female lead’s acting is questionable. She’s a great actress, but in this drama she looks dull and tired all the time. Second, her character is just… bland. Her two obsessions: Her childhood friend, and her love for children(which stems for her love for her childhood friend). It’s ridiculous that a 30 year old woman is so helpless and clueless like she just stepped into the world. She does really odd things that any normal person would find weird. Im sick of the damsel in distress plot as well. Please, why do women need to be saved by the man all the time? It’s not romantic at all, especially when you’re trying to show it that way what with the slow-mo and the romantic music.Was this review helpful to you?
Funny is his middle name.
My Sweet Mobster had me laughing out loud within the first few minutes. The Male Lead, who is a mobster going straight, has Vito Corleone down to the V I T O. He is killing me. Well written, this drama uses a lot of well connect witty puns. I laughed so many times, I am wondering if My Sweet Mobster can keep this up. The cartoon inlays overlaid onto the live action gives the drama a Webtoon feel at times. With the Italian music in the background, it is so strange. My Sweet Mobster is turning out to be an underdog sleeper of a hit for me, with thoroughly engaging characters. You must try it.Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone and Uhm Tae Goo as ex-mobster Seo Ji Hwan imitating Art.
The story is about a mobster who is turning over a new leaf, running a respectful business, while helping other former mob types to go straight too. The Female Lead is a child video artist with a big heart and who might be the answer to the ML’s prayers, literally. Standing in his way is a staunch Prosecutor who does not think that ex-cons can reform, and he likes the same girl.

A fun giggly cuddly romantic comedy
Please ignore the negative reviews for this drama. This was exactly what I needed at the moment. It's a cute romantic comedy that also involves a very special meaning with it. Everyone deserves a second chance and this drama is trying to portray that. The cast is perfect. The male lead has the mobster aura at the same time he is a pookie. Uhm tae goo is nailing this role! Female lead is also 10/10. The supporting cast makes it even better. They are all so funny. I have a good feeling that this drama is gonna keep the energy till the end. Please give it a try you won't regret it!!!Was this review helpful to you?

Uhm Tae Goo is the crown jewel. His character, Ji Hwan, is a “mobster” who is pure, clumsy, and extremely respectful in love. The comedy comes from his tough-guy appearance melting for a girl, a contrast that makes his character both hilarious and deeply adorable.
The supporting cast, made up of ex-convicts who work and live with Ji Hwan, is the comedic heart of the show. Their loyalty, over-the-top reactions to romantic events, and brotherly dynamics are touching and provide some of the funniest moments.
The drama also lightly addresses social prejudice against ex-convicts, showing that change is possible with willingness and support.
My Sweet Mobster is the perfect K-drama if you’re looking for a light, fun romantic comedy that will make you smile. Don’t expect a masterpiece of writing or an intense crime drama; instead, enjoy a simple story about a man who looks like a villain but acts like a teddy bear, fighting for redemption and love. It’s ideal for lifting your spirits after a series of heavy dramas.

Unexpected laughter!
I never expect that I would loved this drama. It maybe annoying and corny but that makes me laugh. The cast are perfectly funny, they put a smile in my heart. I heard that its the reunion team up of the ML and the FL ther previous projects togetheris,more serious type this time is the comedic side and his very effective in making me laugh.I more appreciate Uhm Tae Goo now,, I used to see,his past projects but he used to be a villain or red flag, his such an effective actor because I hated his character Before I used to get annoyed in hearing his voice but now his voice is like music to my ears. The way he approach the FL pleases me too.
All the cast are funny in their own little way, they have their way of making us,laugh, it maybe corny sometimes but that what makes me laugh.
The innocence of the ML makes it more fun because its his first time to experience than feeling, its his first time in expressing his love for her special someone.
They have found each other, its been a long time that they are looking for their childhood love

I have watched over 300 kdrama series at this point and I loved it
10/10 is my rating. This is a 2024 South Korean romantic comedy drama with 16, 60 minute episodes.First, I provide a unique synopsis and then review
Synopsis
Go Eun-ha (Han Sun-hwa) is an influencer and web entertainer who has a persona “Sister Mini” with content targeted for young audiences. She is beloved among her young followers, and they want whatever product placement items she shows. When a milk product she was promoting lands children in the hospital, it sends Eun ha’s web career into a tailspin. She offers to go on sabbatical to minimize the damage to the image of the company she works for as well as give herself time to personally recover from what she feels like is her responsibility. During this volatile time, Eun ha encounters former mobster, and current CEO, Seo Ji-Hwan (Uhm Tae-goo) and his team of ex-cons who run a food company intended to offer ex-convicts a fresh start. Ji Hwan is enamored with Eun ha and finds her television persona particularly compelling becoming a closet fan of her content. And most of his closest friends and management team Joo Il-young (Kim Hyun-jin), Kwak Jae-soo (Yang Hyun-min), Jung Man-ho (Lee Yoo-joon), Yang Hong-ki (Moon Dong-hyeok), and Seo Dong-hee (Park Jae-chan) are willing to play match maker to see their mentor and friend find happiness.
Review
I loved this. One of my new favorites. I have watched over 300, mostly korean, drama series now so I am really picky. I thought the characters were very well developed. The “thugs” were very likable and it exhibited how you can firm a family with people that love and mutually support each other. The friendships and romances were very heart warming. I highly recommend it and will be watching it again.
Spoilers
Il Young and Koo Mi-ho’s (Moon Ji-in) second romance represents one of my favorite tropes. The playboy who encounters that one girl he just can’t seem to forget. I liked his friendship with Jihwan and her friendship with Eunha. They were both very supportive friends and it made sense in their interactions, that ultimately got the main couple together, they would have noticed each other.
I never felt too bad for second guy, Jang Hyun-woo (Kwon Yul) as he had so many opportunities to romance main girl but had this sort of aloof wait for her to catch the feels that was sure to make him lose out to the far more compelling Jihwan. I found him very admirable in his support of main girl, and he was a stand-up person in telling Eunha the truth about who Jihwan was as well as his willingness to re-evaluate what he thought about Jihwan. He finally fully let go of her and just wished her happiness even if not with him. He was just a great guy who became a great friend for Jihwan as well.
I loved the ex-con team. They were such great friends to Jihwan and I liked the way they did not like Eunha at first but then became her greatest advocates. Jaesoo calling Eunha “Little Rat” in derision in the beginning then later as a pet name was a cute addition to the storyline.

Does anyone understand that I was living for this series?
What can I even say about My Sweet Mobster that hasn't already been said? I was living for this series week to week. Everything about this series was so good that I wanted to weep tears of joy. I couldn't even write a review for this until now because I was too emotional that it ended. My only regret is that I can't ever watch it for the first time ever again.Was this review helpful to you?
A Fabulous Drama
Afer hesitating from watching this Drama because of it's title, I decided to give it a try. It didn't tale long to totally suck me in.I laughed so much It had me in hysterics. The Story was inspiring and the characters were stunning.
I loved the main Male lead who was so awkward. The female lead was a walking disaster who created many hilarious situations, usually to the Male leads detriment. She was lovely and so was He.
The Acting from everyone was truly superb, especially from the Ex Criminals who brought so many emotions.
The story was inspirational. The Male lead was a wonderful Human being.
The Ditzy Female brought it to life with her insane behavior. I laughed so much. The poor unsuspecting Male found himself in unknown territory. His body took a lot of hits. I loved this Drama. It was compassionate. loving and altruistic. Cannot praise it enough, even the silly bits. Hope to see a Part 2 as th
ey were addictive.

vale muito a pena assistir!
Quero começar dizendo " que mafioso da voz linda."falando agora sobre o drama. foi muito gostoso de assistir, só achei que o casal principal poderia ter tido um desenvolvimento melhor. Gostei muito de enfatizaram que as pessoas podem sim mudar se ela quiserem e com muita garra e força de vontade. que amizade linda. a história teve um bom desfecho. senti apenas que eles deixaram pra resolver algumas coisas apenas nos últimos eps que foram o clímax da história. super recomendo um ótimo drama.

A Sleeper Hit!
I LOVED this one! I had some preconceived notions about what such a titled series would be about, but it over-exceeded my expectations.The ML’s acting was just amazing, he’s so versatile! And the FL was sweet, with a touching storyline. Nothing felt unrealistic for me, just human. And I absolutely LOVE the concept of having a company that employs ex-convicts, especially those that are remorseful and want to change their lives for the better. The ML’s vision is so ahead of his time and the gang was just too loveable.
Before I watched it I was on the fence about doing so because I didn’t want to be a part of anything that glamorised being a gangster, but I honestly came out of watching this, a much better and more empathetic person. The acting was top notch, the humour was side-splitting, the romance was riveting, the story was just beautiful and the character development was excellent. I don’t know how they managed to make such common tropes like childhood friendship and first love so exciting and fresh but the did it. And big ups to the supporting cast esp. Jae Soo, they DELIVERED and made this story a classic for me. Kudos to the entire team!
