My Sweet Mobster – K-drama Episode 16 Recap, Review & Ending Explained

Happily Ever After

Episode 16 of My Sweet Mobster starts with Eun-ha getting a bad feeling after her necklace clasp breaks. She tries to call Ji-hwan, but he is unreachable. Meanwhile, Gye-jang calls Hyun-woo and informs him that Yang-hui is also on his way to syngeneic liquor.

The prosecutor accelerates but fails to get there in time. He arrives to find the gang going after Yang-hui while Ji-hwan bleeds on the floor. The police soon arrive to arrest everyone and Ji-hwan is rushed to the hospital.

Does Ji-hwan survive?

Ji-hwan undergoes surgery, but he goes into a coma because of his head injury. Eun-ha and the Thirsty Deer gang worry about whether Ji-hwan will regain consciousness. Thankfully, after a few days, he wakes up. As expected, everyone is overjoyed by the news.   

What happens to Tae-pyeong and Yang-hui? 

After Tae-pyeong is arrested, he refuses to cooperate until he hears Ji-hwan’s condition. After learning that his son woke up from the coma, he confesses everything to Hyu-woo and takes responsibility for his actions. When Ji-hwan finally visits him, he disowns him and therefore sets him free. Ji-hwan is relieved and also saddened by his relationship with his dad.  Meanwhile, Yang-hui is arraigned and charged. He ends up in jail.

What happens to the Thirsty Deer Team?

II-young and Mi-ho have their baby and make a happy family. It goes without saying that everyone supports them and clamours to be the child’s favourite uncle. 

Jae-su and Man-ho try their luck in love, but they are terrible when it comes to dating. On the other hand, Hong-gi tries to win Ye-na over. It seems like a work in progress, but we get the feeling that Ye-na is slowly warming up to him.  Ji-hwan continues to take care of everyone and gives them resources to better their life. 

Does Hyun-woo wrap up the case?

After wrapping up the case, Hyun-woo tries to move on from Eun-ha while still supporting her from afar. He is happy that she is doing well and is confident that Ji-hwan will be there for her. He remains hopeful that he will find love soon.

What happens to Eun-ha and Ji-hwan?

These two finally move to the next step of their relationship and get engaged. Eun-ha agrees to let the guys continue to live in the house and this gesture moves them. Our lovers continue to build their relationship and careers. Eun-ha becomes one of the top content creators in the country but still maintains her relationship despite her tight schedule. It helps that Ji-hwan is her manager, and he gets to spend more time with her.

Of course, the Thirsty Deer gang worries that he is prioritising his job as Eun-ha’s manager more than his job as their CEO but it is all good. After all, the ever-competent II-young is around to hold down the fort. 

How does My Sweet Mobster End?

It ends on a cheerful note with Eun-ha taking the boys to help in one of her gigs. They look like a happy family.

The Episode Review

It has been a fun and interesting journey ever since this show dropped. Sweet Mobster gave us a lot of comedic moments and maintained the pace throughout the 16 episodes. Like Ji-hwan, we had hoped to subscribe to this show for the rest of our lives, but unfortunately, all things must come to an end.

The show perfectly wrapped up all the storylines and gave us a befitting ending.  This show gave us so many relatable characters. It reminded us of the importance of second chances and allowing people to learn from their mistakes. At the end of the day, people can change for the better if they get the necessary resources and are willing to do so. 

Sweet Mobster also gave us the return of Uhm Tae-goo. He is a phenomenal actor and we hope to see more of him. After learning his life story, we can’t help but be happy for him. The success of the show has put him back on the radar and introduced new talents that are likely to blow up soon. Let us know what you loved about Sweet Mobster and which character you will miss most. We look forward to reading your comments.
