Hard and wonderful

This episode was difficult to watch, with Seo Ji Hwan getting hurt so badly, taking it all on himself, refusing his past connection with Eun Ha, and pushing her away to protect her from him and his messy life. Everything just made me love Seo Ji Hwan all the more. And finally, the prosecutor Hyun Woo is getting it - starting to see who Ji Hwan really is. He is noble, loving, fair, brave, true, loyal, humble, and all the good things. He is such a loveable, heartbreaking character, and Um Tae Goo is killing it in this role. He plays him just the right way, perceptively and profoundly. He is my new favourite actor. In all, this was a hard episode, but necessary, and perfect in its own way. I like how this series is showing us, without telling us everything directly - letting us see it.

For the first seven episodes of My Sweet Mobster, the drama had us believe the kid from Eun-Ha’s childhood was indeed Prosecutor Jang. This far into the story, it almost requires you to alter your belief system. Imagine the hurt Eun-Ha might have gone through knowing Seo Ji-Hwan hid it from her all this time.Drama AnalysisThe show has been consistent with the pace, storyline, intensity, thrill, humor, and everything important. Despite being a rom-com, the show showcases incredible fight scenes and creates a decent gangster sort of environment as well. The creators of the drama have executed the action scenes in a fairly realistic manner, considering the tone and genre of the drama. The dive into Seo Ji-Hwan’s past was quite essential and gives us some major context of the feud between Prosecutor Jang and Seo Ji-Hwan.
