A mafia rom-com where the only thing dangerous is how fast the plot loses its edge. somehow good
"My Sweet Mobster : 7/10 – A Sugary Gangster Rom-Com That Forgets the 'Gangster' Part"
🍬 THE SWEET:
Unexpectedly wholesome – More "reformed softboy ex-thug" than actual menace. Think Ted Lasso with tattoos.
Lead chemistry – When they flirt, it’s adorkable (if you ignore the glaring logic gaps).
PPL King – Product placements so smooth, you’ll crave subway sandwiches and soju mid-episode.
🔪 THE NOT-SO-SWEET:
False advertising – Promised dark mafia vibes, delivered fluffball redemption arc.
Villains? More like temper tantrum toddlers with trust funds.
Pacing whiplash – Switches between rom-com and half-baked crime drama like a drunk DJ.
💥 THE "WAIT, WHAT?" MOMENT:
That backstory reveal so rushed, it felt like the writers Googled "how to make trauma compelling" last-minute.
🎯 VERDICT:
"A cotton candy version of Peaky Blinders—fun while it lasts, but dissolves under scrutiny." Watch if: You want low-stakes chaos and a himbo lead. Skip if: You expected actual stakes or competent criminals.
