The Woman Who Plays (2024)

IGNORE THE RATINGS

I beg beg begggggg, you to NOT judge this drama by it's initial ratings, pleaseeeeee...I don't know what pleasure people get from down-rating a drama...If you're not into such dramas, you shouldn't have started it after watching the trailer, why would you intentionally come here just to give bad ratings.
But, if you're into silly and lovely dramas that'll have you screaming in your pillow, giggling and curling your toes, THEN THIS IS A PERFECT DRAMA FOR YOU....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAST... IT'S A PERFECTLY PACED STORY and cherry on top is ML's voice>>>>> sir sir sir....🙆🔥

Tune in for Laughter Galore! Starts off with a bang!

Ep 1: The leads look so good & they are funny! It starts with a fake police (our FL) handcuffing our sweet Mobster with toy handcuffs for a crime he didn't commit. The FL is really gutsy and crazy! First meet, she mistakes him for a guy who tried to harm a waiter with a broken bottle. Second meet, she thinks he is stealing money from the kids! As if the handcuffs were not enough, she hits him in the head from the back and runs away! She is waring a mascot getup for her part time job. The ML thinks she sells drugs because he mistook the kid candies she had for drugs. You know a drama is good when you want the first episode to be longer than 1 hour. The SML also seems to be connected to these somehow, we'll find out how. The Thirsty Deer gang is so fun to watch.

Ep 2: Damn the FL has a very overactive imagination! I still can't believe she let go of him when he was about to fall. Poor guy can't seem to catch a break when he is around her. And he is already falling for her. Wow, his guy gang just couldn't take a hint that he wanted them to get out. Okay this episode was a little less crazy than the previous one, but it was nice. I honestly like the leads a lot, all three of them. I wonder what's up with the SML. Is he really the Hyeon U, she has been searching for. Their history sounds interesting. I wonder what happened between the two & if he remembers her.

Ep 3: I was watching binge-watching the cdrama "Story of Kunning Palace", so catching up on this episode was a sudden change of genres & language for me. I thought the intensity of Kunning palace might make me loose interest in this drama (I didn't want that to happen), but thankfully the ML did something that was in character for him to do, the map of India no Indonesia. He clearly was so bothered that Yeong asked her to call him if she wanted to go on a drive sometimes. Yeong knows the effect he has on women and he uses it well. Oh man, he is so adorable with the coat thing! Okay this episode was lovely & next one looks even better.

Ep 4: Okay both ML & SML made me laugh at the strangest things they did. The slide scene reminded me of Lovely Runner's slide scene where Sun Jae was trying to hide from Im Sol. I don't like FL's coworker who tried to humiliate her. Even though she is doing good career wise, she wants to bully FL because she holds something against her (No reason has been provided so far) Here's to hoping that the Thirsty Deer Crew doesn't hire her but chose to work with FL because she truly seems to care about the children.

Ep 5: These two cuties are making it so fun to watch. I'm sure no one watching the drama is Kang Ye Na's fan. From the way things are going, it is clear that Ji Hwan is Eun Ha's childhood sweetheart. But the change of name and another Hyeon U taking fancy to her needs to be explained so have to wait for the revelation. The names of the gangs are so funny, we have Bull Dog & then Meow/Kitty. That kiss was so unexpected, I wish all of it was shown from the front and not back but we'll make do. Ji Hwan's reaction was worth watching!

Ep 6: Oh, I wonder if the thing between Ju Il Yeong & Koo Mi Ho is going anywhere. He did seem like someone who has a way with women so it is hard to figure out if he is looking for than a fling. Koo Mi Ho was attracted by his looks so not yet sure she feels anything tangible as well. But they looked good together. That one flashback we got was so damn steamy & far too short. Ji Hwan is one of a kind, with the way he started flaunting his shoulders. The preview for next week's episodes look sad, I wonder where it is going.

A fun giggly cuddly romantic comedy

Please ignore the negative reviews for this drama. This was exactly what I needed at the moment. It's a cute romantic comedy that also involves a very special meaning with it. Everyone deserves a second chance and this drama is trying to portray that. The cast is perfect. The male lead has the mobster aura at the same time he is a pookie. Uhm tae goo is nailing this role! Female lead is also 10/10. The supporting cast makes it even better. They are all so funny. I have a good feeling that this drama is gonna keep the energy till the end. Please give it a try you won't regret it!!!

Cute and Unconventional in Some Ways

I decided on the whim to watch this, I was not sure especially after looking at the Kdrama cutesy pink poster if it will end up being too childish. It is a light romantic comedy but I like some of the unconventional direction it has taken so far. It looks like the ML was picked for the mobster role cause well he kinda looks like one, his look is unique and not idol like by far. Doesn't mean he isn't good looking in his own way, he certainly fits the part of what you would think of as a villain bad guy mobster. Even the way he speaks, its like the Korean version of the Marlon Brando of Godfather! LOL! At times its raspy and with a slight menacing tone to it. He is in contrast to the cutesy bubble gum FL who is the typical cherry and kind hearted character in these romantic comedies. He was a former mafia boss who went to jail and is trying to reform by doing legit stuff like running a food company while she's a struggling social influencer/marketer with children. Somehow, through a series of fated encounters they end up meeting each other. While it is light and bubbly and not meant to be realistic, it does gently probe our stereotypes of criminals and mobsters, do our preconceived notions of them mean they are far from ever being reformative much less a romantic lead to a FL who is completely opposite of him? There are some plot holes and would have like to see the romance build up more slowly at least on the ML's part. The ML doesn't seem to carry the inner darkness that we typically see in mobster criminal types but this is a comedy and it is refreshing they are flipping it around with a ML who is anything but conventional.

A Sweet, Endearing Romcom

A laughter riot indeed, it is so damn silly you can’t help but giggle in excitement!

JTBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday offering “My Sweet Mobster” might seem lame but it isn’t. I wasn’t acquainted with either of the main leads, but they still managed to win my hearts in the first two episodes that premiered this week. Starring Uhm Tae Goo, Uhm Tae Goo, Kwon Yool, “My Sweet Mobster” is hilarious romcom between a reformed gangster and an avid kids content creator. What are the odds that these two meet? None, and yet they meet in funny situations, end up antagonizing each other before slowly love blossoms between them. Another interesting feature about this show is the galore of handsome men; like they don’t even look like gangster (especially Kim Hyun Jin, I spend far too much time swooning over his good looks). Let’s talk about the pilot episodes in detail!

BEST ROMCOM OF SUMMER 2024!!

2024 Summer's best and most unexpected romantic comedy has captured my heart🥰!
Initially , the title and synopsis didn't grab my attention, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It is really exceeding my expectations! The male lead is a complex and so lovable character who balances a tough exterior but with a gentle , so beautiful soul! Despite his intimidating appearance and voice ( voice like The Godfather) he is actually sweet and adorable character, he is such a teddy bear especially around the female lead.
His tough exterior hides a soft and caring interior, making him a unique and refreshing character. The storyline about a former gangster turning his life around and becoming a succesful meat CEO is very compelling and his commitment and dedication to providing opportunities for ex- convicts and helping others is truly inspiring and is a testament to his compassion. This drama has shown me the power of second chances.
The female lead is a ray of hope and positivity weathering every storm with grace . Both mainleads are perfect match!
She is such a joy to him and their connection is undeniable🥰! Im rooting for them to overcome society's judgements and find happiness together. I'm so kicking for the next episode!!!

Me Mafioso Predileto

Minhas Primeiras Impressões de "My Sweet Mobster" (Meu Mafioso Predileto)

Prepare-se para ser sequestrado pelo charme irresistível de “My Sweet Mobster”! Este dorama é como um pacote de batatas fritas - você não consegue parar depois do primeiro episódio. Destaco especialmente o protagonista, o ator Uhm Tae Goo, que interpreta Seo Ji Hwan, cuja voz é tão poderosa que deveria vir com um aviso: “Perigo: Pode Causar Arrepios. Este dorama é mais uma oportunidade para as dorameiras se apaixonarem por um novo oppa.

A trama gira em torno de Seo Ji Hwan, um ex-gângster que, junto com seus afiliados, já cumpriu sua pena e decidiu mudar de vida. Ele cria uma empresa alimentícia e oferece cargos a seus antigos comparsas, visando reintegrá-los à sociedade como cidadãos respeitáveis. Contudo, essa reintegração não será fácil, pois a sociedade é extremamente preconceituosa.

Paralelamente, conhecemos Go Eun Ha, uma jovem doce, corajosa e trabalhadora que é YouTuber e produz conteúdo para crianças. Ela ama o que faz e sempre coloca o bem-estar das crianças em primeiro lugar, ao contrário da empresa que gerencia seu canal, que foca apenas em visualizações e propagandas, sem se preocupar com a qualidade e acessibilidade dos produtos anunciados.

Tanto Seo Ji Hwan quanto Go Eun Ha compartilham o desejo de fazer o bem às pessoas. No entanto, o encontro entre os dois é hilário e cheio de cenas cômicas. Sem dar spoilers, posso garantir que você vai rir bastante.

Já nesses dois primeiros episódios , Seo Ji Hwan se apaixona por Go Eun Ha, assistindo a todos os seus vídeos no YouTube com o coração acelerado. Convenhamos, doramas em que o protagonista masculino se apaixona primeiro são os melhores, especialmente quando ele é um ex-gângster charmoso com uma voz sedutora, disposto a proteger sua amada a todo custo.

A química entre os atores é palpável, transbordando pela tela. Convido todos a embarcarem nessa comédia romântica, que não só diverte, e faz suspirar, mas também traz mensagens importantes sobre reintegração social e a qualidade do conteúdo nas redes sociais. O que é mais importante: o número de visualizações ou a qualidade do conteúdo?

A cute and innocent tale of love and redemption

Introduction

Go Eun Ha works as a child content creator. She gets blacklisted as her promoted child's milk leads to creating sickness among many children. Losing her job, and home, she bumps into Ji Hwan who starts looking after her.
Prosecutor II Yeong is looking for evidence to dig up the dirty past of Eun Hwa. Chaos starts as the lives of these three different people from different worlds meet.

Review

Directed by Kim Hwang Yoon, this soft romantic story goes through the lives of people who have faced criminal charges before. Ji Hwan used to be a thug and has been in the money extortion business. His connection with Prosecutor Yeong shares insight into the dark past Ji Hwan has been fighting to move ahead. This conflict between good and bad stirs the tale ahead. Eun Ha's hard work and achievement this afr melt away at one single mistake. Another content creator Ye Na comes into action which is a blend of positive and negative light.

The biggest thumbs-up for the drama is that it is very much today's story. Eun Ha's journey reflects the turmoil of every content creator who is making money in this business. Han Sun Hwa as Eun Hwa is warm and vivacious. She is trying to understand the human Ji Hwan is and the life he has been into. The romanticism identified in this character is discreet which matches up with the graph of the story. Tae Goo, the man seen in critically acclaimed films has been debuting as lead for the first time. He is soft in heart and is a clumsy person who is trying to fit in the polished world. The Goo rubs off sweetness ever since his appearance in the tale. He is someone with a golden heart and the door of his house is open for all. The way the director distinguished between the two worlds adds subtle nuances to the tale, like thugs calling Ji Hwan Hyungnim instead of Hyung. The altercation between two universes is satisfying and humorous.

Conclusion

The overall story is heartwarming and light. While dueling in the past, the story goes through a laugh and love lane as two charming hot heroes vie for the innocent-hearted girl. Though the concept is not unique, the story will make you laugh and have fun deeply. Give it a try if you want to have a laugh ride.
