Word of Honor

The most beautiful love story between two ex assassins falling in love in the middle of the jianghu

This is a beautiful adaptation from a bl novel, you can feel the love between two male leadings without explicit words, the sights are so deepers and full of love, this is romance pure I can't breath, and all the sides stories are really interesting. Watch Word of honor, is about inconditional love, revange and fault in the middle of the jianghu.

I identify with Wen Kexing, the duality of the character is so well played by Gong Jun, his performance is really amazing, it is worth seeing this magnificent performance of the character with a tragic past and who must be psycho and crazy to survive.

On the other hand, there is Zhou Zishu a character with high values, strict, but soft, played by Zhang Zhehan, who gives us a journey from an evil murderer to an unconditional partner.

Both find in the other a reason to live, they will accompany each other until death and they will show us what love is without saying a word... The sights are endless, just how you can look at your soulmate.

Best BL wuxia adaptation

As a Wuxia drama: I actually really enjoyed the story about the pugilist world itself. The main storyline circles around greed and power, and it's a storyline that makes sense. This is in part because this story is only 30 some episodes. Unlike others that stretch to 50+ episode, there isn't too many filler plots. Everything has clear cause and effect. There is a slight bit of "why now" element - but let's just assume it takes a while to plan the perfect revenge plan...
Also, I personally adore stories where the line is blurred between right and wrong, good and bad. And, I *love* good bad boys. And there is no better example of such than the cute chief of the ghost valley.

As a BL adaptation: I enjoy BL as much as any other genre. But I have to tip my hat to WoH, wow. I do not understand how this got past the censors. The flirty scenes are wow. Also, if you appreciate the Chinese language, what WKX's lines are so beautiful. Kudos to the screenwriters. I think if you're fans of this genre, this is a must-watch.

The only place for improvement is the fight scenes. I think the fight scenes are too beautiful (particularly between the two leads). It doesn't give off the power (and though in part they are not so much fighting as flirting, so it kinda makes sense). In any case, I do enjoy their dance. It is definitely visually beautiful.

I understand that this is a fairly low cost production. Product placement is obvious. But other than that, I don't really notice the low cost. It is a beautiful production with amazing actors. All of them are amazing - even the side characters.

Definitely a show that stays with you

This was such a great series!WOH is my second Cdrama (Wuxia) BL. I fell in love with the characters and cried my heart out for them. The bonds are unforgettable and the characters will hold a special place in my heart. I loved that despite the censorship you can definitely see the love the characters had for each other. I was squealing with how often they got around the censorship and you got to see the love and how often it was voiced. Wen KeXing & Ah'Xu are most definitely Soul Mates. Gah, I'll never be over them! My Favorite was Wen KeXing, That man had me from the start! He was EVERYTHING! I knew he was going to hurt me, and boy did he put me through it! I'm Still not okay. Ah'Xu drove me crazy! My BFF suggested this to me since I loved The Untamed and let me just say I could have killed her because omg the heartache! my second fav ship was my little angry grape & her knight in shinning armor(Gu Xiang & Cao Wei Ning) When I tell you I loved them, I mean they were everything... I have never cried so hard in my life, very upset with their ending. I just couldn't take it. I had so many ships in the series , and so many favorites. I loved my little murdering psycho (scorpion King), he was another who stole my heart. I can’t believe I waited so long to watch it. I definitely recommend watching the special ending that Viki offered and Netflix didn't, because I needed that!

best chemistry..

the show is very entertaining & full of twists! not only that but the production & clothing is superb for having been on the cheaper side of value, but you really couldn’t see that from how well done the team made it all come together.

and don’t get me started with the chemistry between all the characters including our two main husbandsss, absolutely gold. on and off screen you can see just how close the cast is (as well as the staff), and i think it brings such a warm vibe to the whole set and outcome. if you’re looking for a good binge worthy of bromance & fluffy banter mixed in with some deep twisted roots then this is definitely a high recommendation from me!

LITERALLY TOP 5 OF MY FAVE SERIES IN THE WORLD!

I don't know why...and i can't possibly begin to justify to myself why this has me on such a chokehold. It's not perfect, that would be ridiculous considering its low budget and the general lack of perfection in all things human made, but i just can't see any flows in it.

The acting, especially Gong Jun's ...woow...sublime. I was smitten from the moment i saw him. His flirting, his grace, his perseverance and his dressing as Wen Ke Xing....it was.....guuuuh. I watched this a year or so ago and i am still hooked. In the words of today's generation, Jun and Zhehan cooked, served and ATE!

I am not in the habit of making reviews because i rarely care enough to (a bad habit of mine) but i was rematching this for the nth time and decided to gush about it because unless this has an overall rating of at least 9.5...i feel it's underrated.

So of you haven't watched this....i don't know what purpose you could possibly have to live on🥺

Finished the show this week and I loved loved it, the acting from both male leads was nearly flawless, really loved the symbolic references and poetic lines, and the delivery was immaculate by gong jun. Plot became bit heavy and complicated with progression as compared to light hearted opening but overall it was beautiful. The thing a bit irksome to me only and not a big deal was not related to drama but by its title cover which seemed a lot like untamed even though both have nothing in common, but I guess it was promotional tactic and not important. May be the target audience is same. Well I will highly recommend it to historical/costume drama lovers like me. Cinematography/production was not exceptionally good or outstanding but it works and overall quality is not effected. So watch it, you wont regret it, it also don't have lots of episodes so less time consuming and easily watchable.

Word of Honor [One of the best series so far]

This is my review for WORD OF HONOR. At first, I was really hesitant to watch this because I still can't move on from UNTAMED because it really has a big impact for me, but after I watched episode 1 I was so curious about the following scenes, so that's why I watched it. I really loved the plot of the series like over all plot. It was hard to memorize or familiarize the names of the characters but after how many episodes of watching I was able to know them one by one. The series is totally perfect for me. I loved Chinese historical BL and this became one of my favorite as for now. For the actors, I loved the chemistry between them, you can see no awkwardness between. I know in China there is a censorship when it comes to this kind of series but even though there is a censorship you could see how the characters show their feelings for each other. Like when Wen Ke Xing said to Zhou Xu “The moon is so beautiful tonight” which also means like your expressing your love for someone. The plot twist that I wasn’t expecting there is Gu Xiang brother is  Wen Ke Xing. The time Cao Wei Ning and died I feel so sad about it. My favorite scene in WOH is when Wen Ke Xing save Zhou Xu from Prince Jin. I'm looking forward to the more series soon of these actors who acted in WOH. 


PS: This is my opinion only. Please respect

Funny, sweet, and full of awesome action.

Having a bad day? Need something to uplift your mood? Watch this drama.

Actors are great
Cinematography is beautiful
Fight scenes are really exciting
And the story has a little something for everyone.

Plus: the chemistry between the leads is out of this world. Simon is a grade A flirt.

----

I was already a fan of both leads, before I started this drama. But I must say they are both outstanding in this drama. The side characters are also really fantastic.

I don't normally seek out BL dramas but this one is pretty outstanding. The scriptwriters gave the actors a lot of good material to play with, and the ease and dynamics between the leads makes this a very enjoyable watch.

Amazing Chemistry!!!!!!

Amazing Amazing Amazing... Good things must be said three times!!! For those of you who are hesitating just stop and go watch it. Yes the production could have been better but with the budget they had they did what they could. But the story!!!!!! So sweet!!!! The chemistry is soooooooooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee. If you liked The Untamed , you will LOVE LOVE LOVE WoH!!! Honestly if WoH had as much funding as The Untamed did, it would be miles ahead of the untamed. The main characters are so cute together, they were pretty much flirting so overtly the whole time... It was so satisfying to watch.

WOAH.

There are very few dramas that shake me to my core, but Word of Honor is certainly one them. The way I felt after I finished watching it is similar to how I felt after watching The Untamed, Revenged Love, Unknown The Series and Until We Meet Again—absolutely wrecked and at a loss for words.

There are so many things that worked incredibly well in this BL, especially in terms what what slipped under the censorship radar. Although the novel is a technically BL (I haven't actually read it, yet but will be SOON), the drama is technically bromance. I must say, though, that I TOTALLY forgot this is bromance because the relationship dynamic between the two leads is so passionate, strong and visible, It's not sugar-coated. They LITERALLY call each other "soulmate" and promise "live and die together." There are other smaller hints of their love throughout the drama, which I won't get into that because I don't want to spoil.

I started watching this drama because I saw a TikTok meme edit that said something like, 'two single dad's get married and start a family' and I wanted to know how accurate the meme was. AND IT WAS. The pure, domestic moments (interspersed by action/fighting enemies) that the male leads get are so cute and endearing. The way they look at each other, banter, protect and support each other, spend time together and talk about one another to others is so heartwarming. And, yeah, this is a wuxia with action, politics, killing and revenge themes muddling the storyline, but there is also no shortage of good ole ROMANCE.

The casting is visually perfect. Both leads are gorgeous and the supporting characters are also pretty great (have you seen the Scorpion King??? he may be crazy, but his eyeliner is always sharp as hell). The edits on TikTok and YT go CRAZY.

If you're contemplating watching this, and you're a fan of The Untamed, Meet You At The Blossom or Kill to Love, you will definitely enjoy Word of Honor!
