Guilty Pleasure Watch - Cringey, Funny, Over-the-Top, SEXY, and Heartwarming
Completed - 9/8/2022
“Mama Gogo” is a guilty pleasure! Is it a perfect drama? Nope! Is it entertaining? Hell Yeah!!! Because I know what I am getting into, I can thoroughly enjoy the ride and give this an 8.5 rating.
A few quick notes:
1. This drama is super over-the-top and cringey! Beware if this is not your jam.
2. Because of #1, this drama is also HILARIOUS!
3. Hot Guys + Hot Abs + Sexy Gyrating and Hip Thrusting
4. Crazy funny sound effects to complement the dialogues - but could be too much for some.
Now if you OK with all that, then you are in for a fun and crazy ride!
The story is simple. Annie is a former popular idol who was forced to retire. Life did not treat her well after she left the entertainment world. Unexpectedly, she inherited a host club (women were entertained by a bunch of hot and sexy guys). The story then revolves around Annie and her Mama boys. It’s a very simple and predictable plot really.
What I Like:
1. Annie is a great female lead. She was a little too loud for my taste in the beginning. But she has grown from being a selfish and money-hungry single mother, to a caring business owner who tries her hardest for the host club and the boys. Annie is a fighter. She doesn’t back down, doesn’t cave in. She is independent and actually uses her brain to solve problems. She shoulders all responsibilities and problems and I’m glad to follow her journey. She also has the most amazing outfits. This woman looks so good in everything she wears.
2. Hot Guys - What can I say, it’s a drama with a lot of good-looking guys with hot bodies. I know I sound like a perverted old woman, but they are the main reason for me picking this drama. Since these guys are actors and not professional hosts (I assume they’re not), their dancing is pretty good. However, if you compare them to professional dancers (at least the ones I’ve seen in Las Vegas), their dancing actually isn’t that great. They are fun to watch though! I quite enjoy the rivalry between the Cute and Sexy Cash vs. the Handsome and Sexy Kampan.
3. Earth (as Kampan) - Wow.. I am amazed this is the same Earth I saw in “A Tale of Thousand Stars”!!! What a talented actor to be able to act in two very different roles. Earth is so corny, cringey and over-the-top funny. He’s also the best dancer of the bunch. What a nice body as well.
4. Lee (as Chen) - Well, I think I might have a new crush. My first drama of Lee and he looked so handsome when he was first introduced. I like Chen. A tough guy on the outside, but such a sweetheart on the inside. I especially like those few quick scenes of Chen when he flashes his shy looks when being teased. However, I wouldn’t say he is the main lead. He doesn’t have as many scenes as other characters.
5. Side stories - Amidst all the crazy fun, there are several heartwarming stories. They are short, but I do enjoy them, esp the one about Yut and his daughter and Ball’s dreams. I enjoy the ‘Found Family’ and friendship between the Mama boys.
What I Have Mixed Feelings:
1. Annie + Chen Romance - I actually liked their chemistry a lot more before they got together. Their fights and bickering are really cute. You see a more shy and innocent Chen in those episodes. I would have liked to see more of the “courting” before they’re together. Once they are together, they are sweet and fine, but not as fun as before. But of course, romance is not the central plot here, I just wish their romance develops a little bit better.
2. Kungten (FL’s sister) and Fifa (FL’s daughter) - Most of the time, I find these ladies quite annoying. Kungten’s playing hard to get is quite annoying especially when Cash was being so open and honest with her. Fifa’s animosity towards her mother is a little too much for me. She’s just a spoiled brat and I don’t know what Mikhael sees in her.
