well this was left open-ended, which i get as they planning on 'Work From Heart' which is another short BL. & get that nowadays most BL's r no more the 10 ep's (plus, minus) which can be good. but it can also feel unfulfilling (for want of a better word) it's like "something" just gets started & then "the end" - very unsatisfying IMO. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was cute & i personally enjoyed the acting & the plot, even though i think this last ep was a bit of a let down. especially when u understand that Play only got this role, cause of Pluto's recommendation. but the sec Play didn't accept his confession (cause he had just started realizing his feelings for First) not only Play, but First too - lost the job?!? that one heck of a price to pay - no?!? ****************************************************************************************************************************& i also didn't get why Play & First didn't chose to keep in touch, after leaving the house. living in the house or the BL might have been the reason they got close & even developed feelings. but the sec they realized & acted on those feelings (even if they didn't sleep with each other & just made out) that was a start of something - something neither wanted to explore?!? cause the job was gone?!??? really??? so the last ep was a bit of a miss. which was a pity as the chemistry between Gameplay & Folk is nothing to joke about. the build up was exhilarating & they delivered when the time came. they were fire. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************weird observation's: 1- i usually hate when i see an actor kiss with his eyes open, like it real life that's just weird IMO - lol. but have to admit Folk somehow made that seem hot.2 - Gameplay's hair grow like wild. i was astonished that how long his hair would be in some scene & then short & shorter in others.

Episode 35 (penultimate): For love

At the end of the episode, some tears fell from my eyes. Again, this ? A poison with no cure? I know that Shen Zai Ye chose to be the guinea pig for poison (as if to say: either we will be saved together, or we will die together?, as a couple. But.... that he used an animal as a guinea pig, better than using a human being (now he will have to fight in the next episode, and he may become weak). JTH's master is another with a heroic personality, in addition to being under the poison as well, he let himself be carried away by Empress Lv to save his subordinates, as well as protected the edict to be delivered to the rightful heir to the throne: JTH's brother. (The scene in which Shen Zai Ye takes the poison and feels remorse for the pain JTH felt in the past, showing the scenes and his thoughts was striking and beautiful. (It's the drama showing this harmony between them), but I wonder (Why did it have to be this way ???). They at the table touching each other's hands. (I liked to see this. Every sweet interaction between them is very good to see. I just wish there were more). Empress Lv is being a monster really in these last few episodes. (I think the screenwriter really came back), in addition to the feelings being more plausible between the main couple, there is the suspense part, traps that test the brain (in the dungeon where the edict was), which JTH was tested by her master to find out if she was still a person of integrity (and then he delivers the real edict). And the woman that JTH saved by giving up the "false edict" turned out to be the creator of the poison (who said: I hate to owe a favor, I'll test some cure), and in that SZY offered to be the guinea pig (at the end of the episode, JTH is in hiding and witnesses SZY's suffering when taking the countervenom (the test antiduct), she suffers with him, at that moment, when she sees through the curtains the agony he is feeling, she cries (and says: Empress Lv, you will pay for all the suffering you are putting us through").PS: Despite the regrets, this episode is still a great episode. All the heroes have weight in him, and the love between Shen Zai Ye and Jiang Tao Hua is subtle (and even desperate), but this love hangs in the air. And I liked that (better than the distance between them), although this is the episode that precedes the last episode.PS: The moment when Shen Zai Ye arrives with his gypsy outfit and his braided hair and runs to a JTH who also runs into him (I loved this sweetness between them) and loved that the other man in the room (the master) saw them together, that there is something, a strong bond of love between SZY and JTH. (but in a way it's like two heroes in the same room), in front of the woman they both have affection for. There was no love triangle in this drama, but here (it's just a very subtle and distant sign of something similar).
