Um Tae Goo stars in My Sweet Mobster as Seo Ji Hwan, a gangster-turned-CEO who hires ex-convicts to work at his company. He’s the stoic, no-nonsense type until he meets Go Eun Ha (played by Han Sun Hwa), the creator of an adorable YouTube show for kids.

Opposites attract in this silly romantic comedy that viewers are calling “a breath of fresh air.” If you’re tired of gritty revenge stories and melodramas, My Sweet Mobster could be a great palette cleanser.

Um Tae Goo, in particular, is attracting attention for his drop-dead gorgeous looks (obviously)…

…but also his duality as a character who can be icy one minute…

…and marshmallow-sweet the next. For many viewers, this is the first time they’ve seen Um Tae Goo in a comedic role.
