Gao Duan Wan Jia (2025)

A manipulative lawyer, a pink apron, and a side of emotionally confusing abs.

Welcome to High-End Player, where legal ethics go to die and thirst wins every objection.

The ML is 80% red flag, 20% shirtless domestic fantasy. He lies, manipulates, and steamrolls consent like it’s part of his cross-examination strategy. And yet… when he shows up cooking in a pink apron, suddenly we’re like, “maybe he deserves rights?”

The FL brings some solid braincell energy to the courtroom, and she almost gets to run the narrative. She’s sharp, capable, and occasionally makes excellent choices… when she’s not being emotionally blackmailed. Points for proposing, though. That was iconic.

The twist? These two are a real-life couple, and baby, it shows. Every touch is too natural. Every kiss is suspiciously practiced. This isn’t acting; this is third-wheeling a relationship with plot.

Is it problematic? Absolutely. Is it addictive? Also yes.
Do you want to rewatch the exercise band scene? Look, I’m not judging.

Well balanced romance mystery drama with combustible chemisty & amazing acting

I chose to watch this drama because of Raiana's positive review and my mood for something steamy. This is my first drama that has both Chen Jing He and Cui Shi Yi together. I enjoyed it very much.

What I liked:
1. Romance - I have watched drama starring real couple but the chemistry just didn't translate well on screen. Not this one - damn what a sizzling chemistry! The first intimate encounter was damn spicy. Their kisses 🔥. I liked how affectionate they were with each other.
2. Ethics - I liked how ethics was a core theme in this drama from the time FL's decision to support the disadvantaged clients to SFL's decision to do what's right by law.
3. Dynamics - I loved the dynamics between ML and his subordinate / friend - they provided much needed comic relief. I also liked the secondary romance.
4. Supporting characters - ML's subordinate is the MVP of thos drama!
5. Language - There is a significant amount of dialogue in Cantonese and I found it wonderful to hear. However I was surprised by the use of certain English words in the drama.
6. Antagonists - I really enjoyed their arc.
7. Styling - Girl, Cui Shi Yi was freaking hot especially in those shorts! Most of the cast wore wonderful outfits.

What I disliked:
1. The ending - What is that supposed to mean???

Favourite scene
When FL took ML to her house for the first time
