Premiere Watch: My Sweet Mobster
by missvictrix
Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: JTBC
Genre: Rom-com
Episode count: 16
Global streamer: Viki
Reasons to watch: They had me at the posters. No, really. But honestly, between the cast and the fun premise, I was already tuning in — the posters just sealed the deal. Uhm Tae-gu — finally in a dramaland rom-com — plays a sweet reformed mobster who falls head over heels for kid’s content creator Han Sun-hwa. Our drama wouldn’t be complete without a love triangle, so they tossed in Kwon “always a prosecutor” Yul. And while I want more for him, I also want to see him bickering with Uhm Tae-gu, so this is a win-win in my books.
TL;DR: Uhm Tae-gu is finally in a rom-com

💯 The Barbie Land poster are enough. Kwon Yul please get an independent love line 🤞 and don’t be the typical 2ML. I’m happy to have tea in that pink toy tea set.

I had an orange tea set as a toddler … inherited by various cousins over the years. Guess I can get a pink one now … pretty pink please. 🩷

Maybe he will get one after being rejected by the FL? Or in another drama perhaps

I thought for a second you were talking about the toy tea set. 🤣 But of course you mean a love line for Kwon Yul. Well I have hopes ... at least we can wish him well. 🙌

I watched the trailer and it felt like I might not end up liking the humour. I'll still give it a try though.

I love that picture and I'm hoping this is sweet and fun. I AM, however, curious as to why the English title is about the ML when the original Korean title is about the FL 🧐

I take your point about shifting the focus onto the ML, but I think that "The Woman Who Plays" sound a little sketchy in English. Plays with WHAT? Plays around? It's unfortunate.
Let's re-re-name it!
"Woman Who Knows How to Have Fun!" Noooo. Um...
"Woman Who Slacks off and Plays!" Nooo. Um...
"Woman Who..." Oh, I give up.
My Lovely Lobster it is.

You see... my only problem with this is that NOW, to those of us that remember, there will be TWO Lobster dramas... the old one, when those of us that watched Legend of the Blue Sea live changed the acronym LOTBS to Lobster, because ofc we did, and the new era Lobster, as this will no doubt also simply be shortened to as well... because you (royal we, I, we all, whoever) either keep the long name out of spite (It's still Flowers that Bloom at Night to ME), or shorten it as much as possible 🤣. Lobster in white butter²... 🤭

I had no idea Mobster was another word for gangster, so my brain automatically turned it to Lobster. This show will definetly be the "lobster" drama in my head.

In deference to our sunbae beanies, we will try to make a distinction between the Lobsters, lol 🦞🦞 I think it's already happening (Thirsty Lobster anyone?! @enriquequierecagar) This drama is likely to end up with multiple reference names.
I too stubbornly hold on to titles (longish or otherwise) that I prefer, which probably drives my fellow beanies crazy, but ah well 🙃

If the boys start a seafood brand we should sell them the name "Thirsty lobster". LMAO

Just by the way ... Thirsty Deer is from Psalm 42 and Flesh From Bones from Ezekiel 37 😂😂😂

Same. And I'm also curious where the obsession with possessive pronouns comes from. I only remember the word "My" (나의) from My Ahjussi and My Liberation Diary. Adjectives like "lovely" or "sweet" coming out of nowhere is another mystery.

I have rehearsal everyday after work so I won't be able to watch this tonight... but I have two days off of work this week, so hopefully I can catch up soon, and especially before the recaps. Super excited!

Indeed! I'll take Kwon "always a prosecutor" Yul anyway we can get him since he's so good at being second lead heartache to us (in a good way)! Heck, he can even get a job when he retires from acting as a (you guessed it!) This really sounds fun (is going to be fun) so let it begin!

LOL, the star-ratings troll is already at it. 🙄
I'll probably wait until tomorrow to start, but I'm curious about Uhm Tae-goo as I've never seen him in anything.

I watched the first episode, and it definitely did not deserve that- even though the real fun has not started yet.

The rating is 7 now. So I'm thinking it was low earlier and someone else recompensed with a 10. 😂

I'm liking Uhm Tae-goo's performance in this show. I've seen him in a few dramas and movies, and I think that he's a very versatile actor.

I just saw episode 1. Just because I wanted to start a funny rom-com.
This episode hasn't worked for me but I want to see Episode 2 or even 3 and 4 and then I'll decide.
16 episodes could be too much for this show, and I could easily get bored with the bad guys.

Watched both episodes. Makes me smile just to think of it. Funny and cute. Feels like one of those "Cast Away" prompts, but it's working.

The humor in this one is over the top. Watched 2 episodes so far and I like the change of pace. Does not take itself seriously at all.
