Just caught up with My Sweet Mobster and it is indeed a sweet drama 🩷 I love the endeering found family (🍎-ogies for the pun) so much!

My feelings are mostly positive, but the charm of the earlier episodes has wandered off in the most recent ones. Hopefully to be found again soon though 🐑 More thoughts below

Also, Bulldog is the goodest boy

    I was hesitant to start this one, because 16 episode romcoms especially seem to run out of steam by this point. Even with being so darn goofy, the show was thoughtful and had depth to it. This week’s episodes felt like they were mostly just padding, with the writer just throwing in jokes that didn’t do the characters any favors. Not that everything fell flat (that breakfast scene with a meal prepared by Winnie the Pooh had me rolling) but it was definitely disappointing. Along with how Mi-ho and Il-young’s relationship has been handled

    But! I really have enjoyed everything else so far. I have such a soft spot for found families and the deerling household is my favorite since 30 but 17 🩷 Eun-ha and Mi-ho and her parents are a sweet little family too. Other highlights: Kitty fashion (Im Chul-soo is a scene stealer lol), Uhm Tae-gu’s voice (fk, just Uhm Tae-gu in general), and the theme song (so upbeat!)

      I like the show too but I haven’t watched this week’s episodes. Just not that interested in them being lovey dovey. Do like a found family. But need something else – just not a serial killer. I’ve done this on quite a few shows just drifted away and never gone back. I’m obviously very fickle. I may get back there.

        Too much fluff haha, especially when there’s more story they can dive into. And definitely- anything but a serial killer! Who would’ve thought that would be the new trend in romcoms 😂

        Me too! I have so many where I wouldn’t say I dropped them but just aren’t feeling it

      i thought i was the only one feeling this weeks epi being low on comedic value and i was like may be i should hv binged it n its live watching making it slower..
      i also think these weeks epi were slower for sure… but high on getting smaller back stories out… we found out abt ji hwans childhood as well.. so its changing the gear per me.
      and i second you UTG being the highlight n so his voice ❤️❤️❤️

        Live watching vs binge watching can be such a different experience! Sometimes binge watching makes me feel like I do after too much socializing 😂 like I need to recharge after spending so much time with the characters. But live watches can amplify any pacing issues a show might have

        Yes and yes 😄

    With the expected ebb and flow the story has largely been positive. So for now 🤞

      Yes! 16 episodes is a lot to fill and so many dramas have something of an off week before the final stretch
