Unexpectedly VEEEERY good.
Despite of the cringey relationship between Jihwan and Eunha, I would really like to rewatch this for the hundrenth time..It was kinda boring at the first and second episode, but I enjoyed the rest!! I would love for the other characters' back stories to be shown in the drama, I think it'd make me fall even more into this drama.
This drama has it own attractor that wont let go of people dropping this drama : Uhm Taegoo's voice.
I feel like I've been driven crazy by his voice and his everything like UGHHHH please just this once...
But I feel like Uhm taegoo kinda lack at kissing, or did he do it on purpose for the plot (that Seo Jihwan never dates a girl so he basically never kissed one) but that's not a big problem since they don't really kiss too much.

To put it in simple words this is one of those clingy, cringy dramas! Let the word cringy, not fool you though!It justifies the title name perfectly. The man is manly but sweet only for his girl. The man who follows his principles but still doesn't disrespect his roots.
The girl on the other hand is just a humble sweet girl who wants to make her dream of keeping children happy come true!
Their chemistry was missed a bit and got too cringey but you can see why! Because their personalities were not similar. They needed the cringe and clinginess to be together and that is cute!
The drama depicts a good amount of laughter, silliness, drama, action, I wouldn't say it was 100% balanced but it was a good job done!
The dramas recently were a bit disappointing, but this one has a very new concept and is intriguing to watch.
If you're a fan of Romance-Comedy with a bit of action story as a backdrop, this drama is for you!

Diabéticos saiam do chat essa série vai te levar pra emergência!!!
Vou ser sincera quando eu vi a premissa da série eu fiquei empolgada um clichê óbvio mas bem fofo .Sendo sincera o plot é óbvio desde o começo , mas eu realmente gostei das atuações na serie eles nos dão dois personagens que são pessoas muito gentis , mas que tem história que são difíceis de viver mas as coisas ruins que aconteceram não definem quem eles são no presente e cara quanto tempo não rolava isso em dramas ?
Eu sei que nem todo mundo é igual mas eu gosto dessa ideia que o drama passa de que o seu passado e os seus erros são uma referência do que você não quer ser não uma profecia do seu futuro . Eu amei a atuaçao de todos os atores da série não tenho que reclamar de todos ele nosso casal principal é o meu favorito porque eles são muito fofos o segunda casal também é uma graça mas com certeza o primeiro casal foi o que me deixou engajada na série os momentos que nosso prota é fofo derreteu meu coração a nossa porta é fofa mas já era mas o Seo ji Hwan sendo fofo é outro nível .
Se você quer ver um drama leve e divertido essa é a indicação.

"My Sweet Mobster" follows Eun Ha, a kids content creator who unexpectedly runs into Ji Hwan, a former gangster who's now living a new life. The two become entangled with each other and eventually Eun Ha comes to live with Ji Hwan, because she lost her house. With time, they become closer and fall in love.My biggest problem was with the character Eun Ha, I know that because of her work she has to act cute and stuff, but that doesn't mean that she has to act like that ALL the time... eventually her "way" was really anoying me.
And also, for me there was no chemistry between the two main leads characters, the funny scenes were so much better than the romantic ones.
It's a sweet, light and easy to watch drama. I should have been expecting that for the poster and synopsis, but I didn't think it would be so childish, that wasn't what I was expecting of a drama with a "mobster".

I stayed for the handsomeness that is our ML and got hooked
What a great show! Listen...It would have been a 10 if not for the first three episodes of the MF being insufferable. Luckily, I stuck around because I enjoyed our ML's voice, his personality, and his squad (I truly loved everything with them, and the importance of his company/their goals). I'm just so happy that our MF got better by episode 5 and the series got its footing.Was this review helpful to you?

Cuter Than Expected
At first I had a hard time getting into this story, and I was instantly annoyed by the over done lack of communication trope. Nobody can just be honest because god forbid we don't cause unnecessary drama. lolBased on the title, description, and main art, it's clear this is meant to be a cute little drama, but it's much cuter than I thought it would be. During the times where I struggled with this show, it was the mobster friend group that really saved it for me.
I'm a sucker for outsiders taking in someone new as well as someone liking and hanging out with someone others would not, so it was nice to have both.
I liked seeing them warm up to her over time because they saw how different he was with her around. The 2ML and 2FL are adorable, but that whole thing where she was insistent on not wanting him was drawn out. Just get together and call it a day.
Also, I was hella surprised to see even the implication of s*x in a kdrama, let alone pregnancy outside of marriage. I mean, I'm used to kicking my feet when they hold hands for the first time 12 episodes in. lol It wasn't the worst, it was super minimal, however, if I wanted hookups and unwed pregnancies I'd watch crappy western shows. lol
Overall super cute and I love that they had the two oldest go on that blind date and didn't force that to work, but instead made it so she supported them still living there. Initially I thought they were going to force Dong Hee and Ye Na on us and I didn't like it at first because she had not redeemed herself. By the end of the show I would've been more okay with it, although I like that he stuck around with the group.

The best Korean romcom of 2024!
This is certainly one of the best dramas Korea has ever made. The way they handled the reinsertion of prisoners into society was a great success. The comedy and romance were well developed and applied and still had room to explore drama and action. The performances were excellent, even in the comedic moments the actors were not caricatured. The script left no loose ends, was fun and fulfilled its purpose. The first two episodes may seem less interesting, but they are worth continuing. The fact that it is a romcom that has a story beyond the couple is what makes the 16 episodes not boring and not falling into the same old formula. 16 episodes of pure art! The best romcom of 2024!Was this review helpful to you?

Fun. Initially I loved it but later ML got very one dimensional. By the end I was more interested in the secondary couple's story. (also would have loved if something happened with the prosecutor and his employee but oh well.) A lot of time was spent on MLs dad plot which I did not really like since it was inconsequential in the end, but I will forgive that since this was a lighthearted romcom. (Also the posters were simply exquisite) Was this review helpful to you?

INDEED A SWEET EXPERIENCE FROM A SWEET MOBSTER
I just wanna say that this 2024 Kdrama brought back the Kdrama we have been addicted TO before, this Kdrama was not like the new Kdrama nowadays, I have always been looking for a Kdrama like this ever since and here we go ..this drama was just so beautiful , I loved the lessons learned in this drama, I liked the story , it was a fun and enjoyable journey watching Eun Ha and JI Hwan .. and the support characters are all so lovely , they were like a family , I just really felt good watching this.
There is only thing I am so disappointed with this drama, it is because of the second male lead syndrome ! like why does they have to choose such a handsome second lead Hyeon U Komsannim !!? waaaaa .. and why do they have to make his character so so green flag that I really felt bad he was not chosen. if only Go Eun Ha has not given up of his first love Ji Hwan probably Komsannim has gotten her ! anyways .. still such a good drama .. I liked the squad , I liked Go Eun Ha's bestie Go MI ho HAHAH such a funny name .. and JI Hwan being innocent about hitting .. I had a roller coaster here
definitely a recommended drama

Mobsters with Diabetes
Why Mobsters with Diabetes? They’re too sweet to be true. These are less mobsters and more white collared criminals wanting to reform by working hard to assimilate back into society- a society that is not willing to give them second chances.Then enter Mob Boss aka Mr Soul aka Mr Voice aka Mr Sexy AF Mofo. He has cheekbones of steel and a voice of thunder. Not only is he loyal, loving and kind, he is also a teddy bear in disguise.
Take this and add in the usual Kdrama formula and you get an incredibly sweet and light drama:
- co habitating
- group of funny friends
- strong and hard working FL
- SML who isn’t an asshole, persistent but not pushy
- there’s really no love triangle, ML and FL only love each other
- a sprinkle of serious moments but mostly fun and hilarious moments
I would watch just to hear ML whisper murderous threats to me.

Cute and chaotic
Hilarious and chaotic are the two words that come to mind when I think of this drama. It was great and made me laugh a lot, but fell down a bit towards the end. As many dramas sadly do, it started out very strong and as it went on it dragged on and lost steam. It would have been better if it was less episodes, in my opinion, but despite the fact that it was longer than it needed to be and had some poor acting and weird scenes at the end, it was overall an entertaining experience and wonderful drama for laughs and lighthearted fun.Was this review helpful to you?
a nice little drama
I had no expectations going into this one but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The premise is fine , but I didn't love the angle of the FL being a 'kids content creator' or the 'cutesy' sorta stuff around that .That said what did it for me was the ML his acting even when overly cute with the FL was great , combined that with a raspy sorta voice it fit his character's background to a t and was pretty hot in some of the romantic moments which ... Are a bit fewer and farther between than I prefer .
The secondary cast was great , I don't think this show would be half as good without them cause while the main leads are good in their own way the comedy is truely rounded out by the support cast's interactions with the main couple.
All and all I really liked this drama and the pacing of it , it was neither too short nor too long and didn't over stay its welcome in the slightest. I can't say i'd watch it again but i was happy i did the one time.
