My Sweet Mobster (2024)

Don't judge this kdrama

Almost all the episodes either got me lmfao or got me to cray like maybe 1-2 times which isn't so bad. This was actually one of the cuties and sweatiest dramas I have watched in such a long time. I like all the characters in this drama there wasn't a dry moment and it especially like the side characters too. I hate nothing about this drama I also don't mind the interrupting of the scenes between the ML and FL I actually like it a lot. Alright let's get started with the side character Go Yang Hui [Meow group boss] (Im Chul Soo) I know he's supposed to be the bad guy but he was so adorable that I couldn't even hate the character Go Yang Hui with all honestly this character had me cracking up from 1st ep when he and ML were about to fight buy ML just hold out his hand and he couldn't even hit ML it was hilarious also they way he dresses i can't take him serious. Don't even get me started with ML groups of guys they were the sweetest characters. Let's start with my favorites Gwak Jae Su (Yang Hyun Min) and Jung Man Ho(Lee Yoo Joon) these two duo were like a married couple and i like how Yang Hyun Min character has a short fuse and sometimes forgets stuff as for Jung Man Ho he has a slip of tong which make this drama more hilarious and they are both sometimes clueless that i can't help but lmfao. I swear anytime i see either Gwak Jae Su (Yang Hyun Min) and Jung Man Ho(Lee Yoo Joon) characters on screen i definitely know i will be cracking up. You the ML voice is off the charts for me like omfg his voice is seriously so good

Mr. Penguin and his cute and friendly wife!

I really enjoyed watching this drama. You can see how every character develops on it's own. The thing i liked the most about development is when they finally confessed their feelings he started wearing more light colored costumes. He resembled how she made his world a little more colorful.

This drama became one of my favorites mostly because of one thing...... Ji-hwan's friends/subordinates. They made me laugh to the point my stomach hurt. Not only them but everyone was shining with their own thing and everyone knew their place beside two characters but that didn't ruin the whole experience for me. I loved loved and loved it. Will rewatch it for sure.

I hope whoever is reading this to enjoy it too. Have a good time. ByeBye

AWESOME and DAEBAK!

At the beginning, I’m looking for a light k-drama, not stressful, full of laugh and sweet. Then I found this drama and I cannot stop laughing. At first I fell in love with the second male lead, but then suddenly the heart change! I got a crush with this Uhm Tae Goo. Aigoo! What to do??
All the actors are good. The director really good in picking actor for the role. All actor know well their job. I still cannot move on. Thank you for making my life happy. Still i’m hoping to see in the future that these Uhm Tae Goo and Kwon Yul to be the leading man in romantic drama. Anyway please enjoy watching!

This might’ve legitimately been for kids

This drama had every trope that I hated and only one thing that carried it: the silliness and awkwardness of the ML

But even that grew old quick because sir…you are 36

Horrible and controlling SML who treats the FL like a child without autonomy? ✅

Nosy SML who keeps butting his head into everyone’s business and acting like he’s owed access into their personal lives, thoughts etc?✅

Self righteous SML who thinks he knows everything✅

Clingy SML who believes that having a crush on a virtual stranger means owning them✅

ML who repeatedly pushes the FL away every time things go bad like she’s not a full person in their relationship but a pet he can choose to care for or discard on a whim ✅

Everybody acting like the FL is a newborn baby in need of protection (even from her own emotions) and not a 30 yr old goddamn woman✅

A 30 yr old woman and a 36 yr old man freaking out every time they so much as touch (the first few times is tolerable but yall are dating?? What did you think happens in relationships?)✅

Slapstick “comedy”✅

Saint FL who’s more like an idea of “perfection” than a person(I don’t feel like explaining this one rn but iykyk)✅

THAT trope (you know the one)✅

I was done with the story by ep.11ish but I didn’t hate it. It was very stupid most times and a lot of the jokes just weren’t funny and seemed like they were written for 12 yr olds but it was ok.

From ep.2-11ish, things were fun and flowed quickly (minus the sml) so it didn’t feel dragging or exhausting but after that, I kept fighting the urge to turn the tv off.

I liked the pairing. I liked that she stood up for herself every time he pulled that savior crap on her and it’s no surprise that I loved how obsessed he was with her.

The side characters were unsurprisingly not the worst. I usually hate this kind of setup cause I find it obnoxious and pandering but I didn’t mind them too much. They were over the top at times but I understood their place in the story and ji hwan’s life as well as his place in theirs. For them, he’s their savior. For him, they’re his lifeline-they give him purpose.

It was a fun and silly drama and if they would’ve kept that vibe and shortened the story a bit, it might’ve actually been perfect.

If you’re gonna have a story where everyone acts like Disney channel rejects, why do you think Tony Soprano would fit in?

Believe it or not, at one point (when the highs were really high), I contemplated giving this a 9 or 8.5.

But the lows were in hell so it’s a 7.5/10

I want more

I hardly ever say this about dramas but I need more time with this one.

More moments between each of the couples, more shenanigans in the family, more moments of Ji-Hwan being an absolute loser(affectionate).

Overall didn't care for the mafia stuff, it wasn't bad, just that everything else was so good in and of itself that I didn't find it necessary.

Ji-Hwan has become an absolute favorite of mine, both the character and the actor. (his voice too 🫡)

Love this drama very very much, the vibes are immaculate and this will be rewatched sooner rather than later.

A simple fun loving drama

This drama is a feel good loving drama. The most unique thing which I liked about it is that ML is a former gangster and now CEO, so he is not shown stupid or doing crazy things. He is shown very sensible and responsible at all times. Because of this ML actually seems to be a genuinely sweet person as per the title of the show. His decisions at many times will make complete sense as he is always burdened by his past. He is never shown exaggerating things or doing crazy stuff for the sake of comedy., this really spoils the drama as it makes it implausible. Also the concept of former gangsters now trying to be good is a feel good concept in itself..

The only thing that I didn't like was the FL acting.. In starting I thought she is being simple and expressionless, as she is facing troubles in life, but this never changed till the end. She is always normal whatever happens.. even in the last episode when she gets proposed she is like OK, no happiness or excitement at all. But overall it was OKAY as the FL is not acting very good but at least she is not doing overacting at any point, she is like just a normal person.

The prosecutor's role is also very good. I thought he will at one point, like in other dramas, hide things or create unnecessary misunderstandings, but he is shown genuinely a good person as well. He is such a good second lead which is very sweet to watch.

Overall the drama is sweet and nice if you want to watch a simple romcom.

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.

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
