A beautiful series
I started watching this drama with no expectations since I am not familiar with the ML and FL but wow, this drama is just amazing . I loved the story and acting. It is so funny and is addictive. This will be one of my fav kdrama. The second couple is too cute. The supporting cast has done a good job.I can't wait for more episodes.

Cheesy, boring, and forgettable
This is a typical K-drama with overused tropes - childhood oppas, piggy-back rides, cutesy FLs, a love rival. The story follows the same old trend creating a mediocre FL with no real talents. In comparison to ML, who is a former bad-boy mobster, tall and handsome, wears black, and has a voice as smooth as velvet, she is an unattractive, clumsy female who dresses like a grandma and has no real talents or ambition. But, a woman with a fashion sense and career aspirations is portrayed as an opportunistic b*tch. So therein lies the problem with this trope, the writers attempt to create a relatable girl-next-door stereotype, but end up with a clumsy and annoying mess who can't even wipe the floor without causing a scene. But, we are supposed to think this 30 y/o numbskull is adorable.The plot is slow and draggy. The two main characters have no real chemistry because the romantic scenes are reduced to comedic tropes. Their conversations are middle school level cringe, even though both are in their 30s. The only reason why ML is even attracted to FL is because she is good with kids, a rare quality indeed. And, as soon as he is attracted to her, all of his intelligence and bad-boy charm go out of the window turning him into a blubbering idiot. Apparently, the writers decided this level of tropey garbage is a convincing romantic development between two grown adults.
There is nothing new here. The plot is filled with the same boring cliches and underwhelming romance.

My Sweet Mobster underrated Drama
My Sweet Mobster best rom com of the year. Deserve highest Rating..This series is definitely a depression killer, I'm glad I watched it, it gave me a great time for 2 months.
is the definition of a real romcom. l smiled, giggled like a silly, laughed out loud and cried too.
Yes, My Sweet Mobster is such a good representation of childhood friends to reunited greenflag lovers trope but let us not forget they also served us very silly chaotic sworn enemy in the start. :)
Seo Ji Hwan puppy eyes when in love, but a cold-blooded gangsta who only sees blood when being messed around,
quiet, shy, soft, and kind-hearted pookie man with extraordinary quirkiness and awkwardness
humble and religious, and yet the voice—THE VOICE
that eargasm voice— will bring heaven to you!
don't even get me started with his outstanding comedy. He is hilarious without even trying
Uhm Tae Goo outstandingly played the many layers of Seo Ji Hwan. He might not be the typical love at first sight oppa, but as you continue to watch him, you'll get captivated deeper and deeper by his unique charm and appeal. He's an undeniable talent who can pull off both looks and performance.
OUR HYUNGNIM SEO JI HWAN
Thank you Tae Goo oppa for accepting this role. <3
"Eun Ha, I want to be your subscriber and love you for the rest of my life."
LUV THIS PROPOSAL SCENE one of the best Proposal ever K drama.
And my another fav scene Turns out the “oppa will make ramyeon for you!! ” on the aegiya kaja scene is an adlib by Tae Goo < thank u Tae goo
My Penguin couple, My thirsty deer members. l miss them so much
Definitely rewatching again an again…
Please Watch this amazing series and give it a higher rating…

Great Feel Good Series
I really enjoyed this Series. The male lead was great and the story line was good. I liked how there was some bad but the good won in the end and the relationships were fantastic. Finally a show where the female lead is not whiny and gets on your nerves because she's so immature. I like how they showed everyone deserves a second chance in life and not to look down on people just because you don't understand them. Just a really good feel good kind of series and I kind of hope they do a season 2 and show how they're doing today.Was this review helpful to you?
Where has this mobster been all my life?
This drama has me giggling like a kid. Its so sweet and light hearted. Where has this ML came from??? His voice is OMG so 😍. Hes also very handsome. Ive never seen him in anything before and now I need more with him in it! And II young the second of the gang is such a cutie too! Honestly I feel the FL is kind of annoying and they definitely could have found someone prettier. Other than the FL the rest of the drama is great! I even like the second FL.Was this review helpful to you?
watch if you like sweet uncomplicated dramas
I was very excited when this drama was first announced but right when I saw that it's going to be 16 episodes I knew that it wouldn't be a 10 out of 10. Certain concepts need less episodes, 14 or even 12 would've worked better. The plot wasn't neither here nor there which is fine but don't try to change it in the last two episodes. Also please keep 30+ year olds who act like tweens away from me. Well if you like safe drams without much plot and cute pretty one dimensional characters give it a go. Fine drama to play in the back and chill but nothing more than that.Was this review helpful to you?
Don't make a mistake of watching this colossal mess.
The story didn't had impact. The Male Lead was not able to bring justice to the role. it kind of seemed like a total mess to me. Female lead was .. lets leave her aside as I would seem like a bully.support characters were too much into over acting and stuff it made me feel like puking.
Villain was to darn funny, male lead was supposed to be strong but he was next level funny. female lead was not needed actually and if the show is performed without her, then also it would be the same.
Support cast was pathetic

BEST ROMCOM OF SUMMER 2024!!
2024 Summer's best and most unexpected romantic comedy has captured my heart🥰!Initially , the title and synopsis didn't grab my attention, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It is really exceeding my expectations! The male lead is a complex and so lovable character who balances a tough exterior but with a gentle , so beautiful soul! Despite his intimidating appearance and voice ( voice like The Godfather) he is actually sweet and adorable character, he is such a teddy bear especially around the female lead.
His tough exterior hides a soft and caring interior, making him a unique and refreshing character. The storyline about a former gangster turning his life around and becoming a succesful meat CEO is very compelling and his commitment and dedication to providing opportunities for ex- convicts and helping others is truly inspiring and is a testament to his compassion. This drama has shown me the power of second chances.
The female lead is a ray of hope and positivity weathering every storm with grace . Both mainleads are perfect match!
She is such a joy to him and their connection is undeniable🥰! Im rooting for them to overcome society's judgements and find happiness together. I'm so kicking for the next episode!!!

A cute and innocent tale of love and redemption
IntroductionGo Eun Ha works as a child content creator. She gets blacklisted as her promoted child's milk leads to creating sickness among many children. Losing her job, and home, she bumps into Ji Hwan who starts looking after her.
Prosecutor II Yeong is looking for evidence to dig up the dirty past of Eun Hwa. Chaos starts as the lives of these three different people from different worlds meet.
Review
Directed by Kim Hwang Yoon, this soft romantic story goes through the lives of people who have faced criminal charges before. Ji Hwan used to be a thug and has been in the money extortion business. His connection with Prosecutor Yeong shares insight into the dark past Ji Hwan has been fighting to move ahead. This conflict between good and bad stirs the tale ahead. Eun Ha's hard work and achievement this afr melt away at one single mistake. Another content creator Ye Na comes into action which is a blend of positive and negative light.
The biggest thumbs-up for the drama is that it is very much today's story. Eun Ha's journey reflects the turmoil of every content creator who is making money in this business. Han Sun Hwa as Eun Hwa is warm and vivacious. She is trying to understand the human Ji Hwan is and the life he has been into. The romanticism identified in this character is discreet which matches up with the graph of the story. Tae Goo, the man seen in critically acclaimed films has been debuting as lead for the first time. He is soft in heart and is a clumsy person who is trying to fit in the polished world. The Goo rubs off sweetness ever since his appearance in the tale. He is someone with a golden heart and the door of his house is open for all. The way the director distinguished between the two worlds adds subtle nuances to the tale, like thugs calling Ji Hwan Hyungnim instead of Hyung. The altercation between two universes is satisfying and humorous.
Conclusion
The overall story is heartwarming and light. While dueling in the past, the story goes through a laugh and love lane as two charming hot heroes vie for the innocent-hearted girl. Though the concept is not unique, the story will make you laugh and have fun deeply. Give it a try if you want to have a laugh ride.

10/10
I really recommended this series, it has a lot of scenes that are funny (what I am looking for right now) and some scenes that are really you could have perceived too, I loved it and I really enjoyed watching this after I watched a horrible movies/series to be delightful. You could also gain a knowledge in it especially when it comes to your emotions and surroundings. I don't know why some reviews are down, but this is really great, I assure you! Would love to wait the upcoming more episodes!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and Unconventional in Some Ways
I decided on the whim to watch this, I was not sure especially after looking at the Kdrama cutesy pink poster if it will end up being too childish. It is a light romantic comedy but I like some of the unconventional direction it has taken so far. It looks like the ML was picked for the mobster role cause well he kinda looks like one, his look is unique and not idol like by far. Doesn't mean he isn't good looking in his own way, he certainly fits the part of what you would think of as a villain bad guy mobster. Even the way he speaks, its like the Korean version of the Marlon Brando of Godfather! LOL! At times its raspy and with a slight menacing tone to it. He is in contrast to the cutesy bubble gum FL who is the typical cherry and kind hearted character in these romantic comedies. He was a former mafia boss who went to jail and is trying to reform by doing legit stuff like running a food company while she's a struggling social influencer/marketer with children. Somehow, through a series of fated encounters they end up meeting each other. While it is light and bubbly and not meant to be realistic, it does gently probe our stereotypes of criminals and mobsters, do our preconceived notions of them mean they are far from ever being reformative much less a romantic lead to a FL who is completely opposite of him? There are some plot holes and would have like to see the romance build up more slowly at least on the ML's part. The ML doesn't seem to carry the inner darkness that we typically see in mobster criminal types but this is a comedy and it is refreshing they are flipping it around with a ML who is anything but conventional.Was this review helpful to you?
