My Sweet Mobster

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 truly enjoyed watching this drama. Initially, I had low expectations, but it pleasantly surprised me in the best possible way. The show was warm, funny, and incredibly adorable, making it a delightful watch from start to finish. My favorite aspect was the main couple-their chemistry was extraordinary and unique, setting them apart from typical on-screen pairs. They brought so much heart and authenticity to their roles, creating moments that were both touching and hilarious. The way their relationship developed felt natural and engaging, keeping me invested in their story throughout. I will genuinely miss seeing them together on screen, as their dynamic was one of the highlights of the drama. This show exceeded my expectations and left a lasting impression on me.

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!!

Thank you director for this amazing drama. Um tae hoo's acting is top notch. All the casting is very well done and their acting is amazing. Didn't even felt in one scene they are acting, they were living in their character. The story is very beautiful. It makes you laugh, sad. So many emotions. Its like a roller coster. Loved this drama so much. It made me sad when it ended. Hope to see um tae ho soon in other drama. This drama is very underrated. This drama is worth more than queen of tears. Hope everyone appreciate this gem. Every one should watch this drama. I'm going rewatch this million times.
