My Sweet Mobster Ended with a 2.9% Nationwide Viewership Ratings | Happy Ending for Um Tae Goo and Han Sun Hwa

Ji Hwan ended up in the hospital after saving his father from getting stabbed by Yang Hee. Seo Tae Pyeong and his gang members, including Yang Hee, got arrested on the scene thanks to prosecutor Hyun Woo and the rest of the police to stop further riot in the scene. Tae Pyeong decided to talk and admit to his crimes after Ji Hwan woke up from his sleep in the hospital. The feud between father and son ended as well as their relationship. In the end they couldn't really meet halfway to preserve their father-son relationship due to their conflict of interest. The father wants to continue on living as a mobster even when in jail while Ji Hwan wants the other way. And there, they separate ways. 

Meanwhile, getting inspired to Il Young's own family, Ji Hwan realized he wanted to make his own. He proposed to Eun Ha by the end of episode 16 after a few failed attempts. yay! Happy ending for them.

I honestly thought that this drama would end only with 8 episodes so I got surprised the first time when I discovered that it was longer than I had predicted. The drama really has great message to tell that anyone, including criminals, can change for the better and start anew without going back to their old bad habits. As long as someone has the will to change his/her life, then that someone can really make it happen. It has that good message but if I'm going to be honest, I would've wanted the story to have been compacted into short number of episodes. If it was 8-10 episodes, it would've prevented the predictability of the story. Hmmmm...

First half (episodes 1-8) were so good that you'll just laugh at Seo Ji Hwan and his friends/colleagues/family all the time. Everything was great when Ji Hwan had not confessed yet his feelings with Eun Ha but when they became a couple, I don't know why but it got boring for me along the way. The concern with Ji Hwan's father was stretched too to the point that it had been a drag for me to finish the remaining episodes of the drama. Hmmm.. I'm really sorry to the fans of it but that was just my honest review of the whole run. However, I still enjoyed the drama. 

How about you? How do you feel about the whole run of My Sweet Mobster? Were you satisfied with it or you got bored along the way too?

Han Sun Hwa Finally Found Her Childhood Friend in Um Tae Goo's Form in My Sweet Mobster | Episodes 13 - 14 Review

A lot of the important characters' concerns were finally resolved in these 2 episodes (13 and 14).  Il Young and Mi Ho are now together after Il Young slipping out the fact that he knew about Mi Ho's pregnancy. He managed to truthfully confess his feelings with the help of alcohol this time. Il Young got to meet Mi Ho's parents too, together with his hyungnim Seo Ji Hwan, and ask for their blessing in starting a family with Mi Ho. At first they do not accept him for the reason that he works with Seo Ji Hwan's company, where most if not all employees are ex-convicts. But later on, when everyone's face to face, Mi Ho's parents agreed and gave their blessings too. One problem down. 

Of course, Eun Ha cannot be at peace if she cannot find her childhood friend Hyun Woo. She's been looking for him since day 1 so this matter is one of the most essential problems that needed to be solved in the drama. kkk Since Eun Ha and Ji Hwan are already together as a couple, they've been spending a lot of time together. Eun Ha managed to take a closer look of Ji Hwan, his habits and personality more. And there, she found Ji Hwan's habits to be very similar with her childhood friend, Hyun Woo. Due to her suspicions, Eun Ha remembered that prosecutor Hyun Woo knew about the real identity of her childhood friend. She asked straightforwardly if Seo Ji Hwan is in fact Hyun Woo. The prosecutor, Justice, confirmed this very quick. Second problem down.

Now, the main problem of Seo Ji Hwan, his father is the last one that's needed to be resolved. Only 2 episodes left for this drama and I am hoping that Ji Hwan's father would finally let him free from the world of mobsters. It's just really frustrating that Seo Tae Pyeong is that kind of father to him. But what could I expect? He's the leader of a gang, he had been cruel from the very start. Hmmm... I wonder what could change his mind and finally let his son go. 

My Sweet Mobster is an Unexpectedly Good Drama! Needs more recognition

So I have started watching the drama My Sweet Mobster yesterday and boy, I'm already addicted to it. Tbh, the first time it was released on June 12, I had a glimpse of its first episode but dropped it for the reason that I was already watching Highschool Return of a Gangster which is obviously about gangsters too. I thought that it would be redundant to watch the same theme of a drama at the same period of time. I don't really read synopsis of dramas before watching them that's why my reasoning of dropping a drama is quite too narrow. lol It was only yesterday that I found out that the two dramas are different from one another. Yes, the characters revolves around gangsters but the plot differs greatly. I really enjoyed Highshool Return of a Gangster, it's about a gangster in his forties who loves learning/studying and after saving a highschool student jumping off a footbridge that he was given a chance to return to study again but within a different body. With his soul trapped in a body that isn't his, he continued living and change the lives of everyone around him as well as the life of the owner of the body he's using. 

My Sweet Mobster is a different kind of story than Highschool Return of a Gangster. My Sweet Mobster is about Seo Ji Hwan, a former gangster who now takes on a different path of living as a company CEO. He encourages other gang members to join his company and hire them to live a better life. Instead of making money out of illegal things, Seo Ji Hwan and his guys make a living through selling different meat products. However, despite choosing to live a better life, the prejudice of the people around them sometimes are making it hard for them to move forward. Then Ji Hwan's monotonous life became colorful after meeting an online influencer named Go Eun Ha aka Minni Unni. 

Although I'm only at episode 4 right now in the drama, I'm already loving it for the reason that it's entertaining and hilarious but at the same time having depth in the story. I really love it when a drama tugs my heart. Watching a person trying his best to change his life for the better is so inspiring. It makes me admire that person at the same time do the same thing as him. The drama is relatable in so many ways and it has a good lesson to convey. Definitely a good drama that needs more recognition! I'm gonna start posting about it now so I could help for it to be recognized too! yay!
