The drama is exactly what you can expect from a vertical show called "Captive Love From the Mob Boss". Hot mob boss played by Ma Xiao Yu whose great physicality works wonders for this kind of walking red flag (with hidden vulnerability), sizzling chemistry with gorgeous actress Zhang Chu Xuan, who matches him in intensity, appropriatly scummy second male lead so that the ML can get his redemption arc, hilariously bonkers scenes where the mob boss tries everything in his power to force the heroïne into marriage (including tying a bomb to a priest), dumb evil meimei and stepmom who get their deserved comeuppance, expensive looking sets and costumes, etc. My only gripe is that I don't really know why she falls for him at some point beyond pure lust. I mean, I get it, he's too hot to stay sane, there is some grovelling, but I would have liked a bit more time spent on that part of the plot.
