Falling in love changes everything, and My Sweet Mobster showcases this beautifully through Seo Ji Hwan, played by Um Tae Goo. This drama depicts how a tough guy with a deep voice melts more easily, especially when he’s around the girl he likes, Go Eun Ha (Han Sun Hwa), a content creator from Minnie Unnie. Despite his manly stature, Ji Hwan’s changes when in love are unexpected!
Soft Spoken and More Friendly
Who doesn’t fall in love with a man who’s soft spoken? Seo Ji Hwan, once firm and often sarcastic, has now become softer. Interestingly, this change is not only directed at Go Eun Ha but at everyone around him. Apart from being soft spoken, Ji Hwan is now much friendlier. He no longer exaggerates his problems with his five friends. It’s not just Eun Ha who feels the change; Joo Il Young (Kim Hyun Jin) and his friends are also amazed!
Ji Hwan’s transformation here shows a relatable aspect of falling in love—how it softens even the toughest exterior. His newfound friendliness and softer speech add a layer of warmth to his character, making him more endearing to viewers.
His Mood Often Changes
Who knows where Seo Ji Hwan, who usually keeps his emotions stable, went? The attitude of the CEO of Rusa Haus is difficult to understand. Unlike his usual composed self, Ji Hwan has become more unstable, making decisions and doing activities according to his mood.
Take, for instance, Go Eun Ha’s celebration party at her house. Ji Hwan made a decision that only Eun Ha liked, even though he usually hated such things. Since then, Ji Hwan’s five friends immediately sensed that something was going on between them.
Childish and Needs Validation
No one would have thought that Seo Ji Hwan had a childish side. However, this only emerged after he fell in love. Ji Hwan, who didn’t care what people said, is now more sensitive. Just because of a casual remark from Eun Ha, he thought about it until he couldn’t sleep.
At one point, Ji Hwan’s friends asked Eun Ha to describe Ji Hwan in two words. Since hearing her answer, Ji Hwan became diligent about going to the gym, seeking validation that his back is really broad.
Often Loses Focus
Losing focus is not a common occurrence in Seo Ji Hwan’s life. This former Bulldog gang member is known as the sanest among his group. However, this habit changed since Ji Hwan secretly fell in love with Go Eun Ha.
Ji Hwan was caught several times daydreaming, even daydreaming alone. Worse, this happened while he was working. He missed Eun Ha so much that he saw her shadow in his room. This also often happened when Ji Hwan was about to sleep.
Becomes Easier to Forgive
Despite having a warm heart, Seo Ji Hwan found it difficult to forgive, especially his five subordinates who often caused trouble. This is because after being forgiven, they often made the same mistakes. However, since Go Eun Ha’s presence among them, Ji Hwan has become more forgiving. He wants Eun Ha to see him as a good man. For this reason, he even forgave Yang Hong Gi (Moon Dong Hyeok), who signed a contract without his consent.
Since falling in love, Seo Ji Hwan’s behavior has amazed the audience. The figure once described as fierce now has a heart like Hello Kitty. Will this couple end up together? Keep watching the drama My Sweet Mobster to find out!
