Il mio dolce malvivente

This show unfortunately is very uneven now that I've finished it. I would say 2/3 of the show is light, heartwarming, sweet which I loved and then there's 1/3 that's just crime, mob stuff, prosecutors and randomly a LOT of interrogation room scenes which I hated lol. That said, the cast was full of great lovable characters from the main leads to the reformed mobsters, I loved it when they got into shenanigans usually related to their job, or their home life. The little community they've built is so cute and they embraced the female lead into their little rat pack very quickly which made me like them even more. I would compare this feeling I'm feeling to when I finished Wedding Impossible or Serendipity's Embrace, I wasn't wowed but I was entertained.

I recently watched "My Sweet Mobster," a fantastic Kdrama blending romance, comedy, and suspense. It beautifully explores themes of friendship, authenticity, second chances, and positivity. Uhm Tae-goo shines as the lead, transforming from an ex-mobster to a man in love with charm and depth. And can we talk about his good looks and husky voice add to his compelling performance. The chemistry between characters, engaging plot twists, and high production quality make this show a must-watch. It's heartwarming and entertaining, leaving viewers with valuable life lessons. Loved every part of it :) .

Some of you are writing a whole dissertation on this light-hearted rom-com, "My Sweet Mobster." It's not supposed to be a deep, plot-heavy show with intense analysis. Sometimes, it can just be good fun and light, and that's it! We don't always need to go deep, and I believe that's exactly what the producers and directors intended: a fun and light-hearted rom-com.

"My Sweet Mobster" delivers just that. The quirky chemistry between the leads, the unexpected twists, and the charming humor make it a delightful watch. If you're looking for good belly laughs mixed with some fun action and light romance, this is for you. It's a refreshing break from more intense dramas, perfect for unwinding. It ain't for everyone, but if you want to enjoy a feel-good story with a touch of whimsy, give it a try!

Han Sunhwa plays Go Eun-ha who is a struggling child content provider on the internet (We tube) and longs to reunite with a childhood friend who disappeared and she blames herself for this. Uhm Tae-goo plays Seo Ji-hwan the son of a mob boss who betrayed his father and is now trying to run a legal meat packing plant employing ex cons to give them a chance to redeem. Circumstances bring these two together and over time the cold indifferent CEO begins to be attracted to the free spirited entertainer. The story is one of redemption but also has a back story of a jealous gang member who hates him and will take revenge as he is jealous of his success. We have the usual love triangle, quirky sidekicks and a cute second couple but for me it is ok but misses the mark. Too many advert type interruptions and the balance of serious and funny does not work although it has a good cast and some funny and touching moments.

It's a romcom with very unusual cast I'd say. Um tae goo being the coolest gangster yet a softie is a delight to watch. The cinematography, story, acting, cast everything is topnotch. A romcom with 80% comedy and 20% romance lol..and ofc if there's um tae goo there will be action. The father-son relationship, childhood connection (not those irritating ones), power conflict all these plot made this drama even more interesting. Every character having thier own story but not dragging it too much was very refreshing. Loved Han Sunhwa's character as well. Her job as a kid's content creator was perfect for her character Eunha. Overall this one's absolutely worth it!!
