LOL! Kid can hug daddy and mommy, but daddy mommy cannot hug each other! XD WKX would gladly do it anytime, it's…
Hahaha, hope he's not one for too long!!!

Yup, you nailed it.

hi PeanutButterJelly, do you agree with my notes raised in my reply to Slythe below?

hi Slythe, sorry to barge in on this conversation trail. Not quite sure what is being debated on. I grew up watching…
Having watched up to #16, this is no doubt a WuXia 武俠 cdrama about martial pugilist leaders in Jianghu or Wulin. They are regular humans but with higher level of fighting ability & in search of the Glazed Armour. It's not a magical object. It's a key (made of Ruyi) to opening the vault containing top martial arts manuals of various sects.

All WuXia costume dramas include flying around because of their Lightness Skill (轻功 qīnggōng), a skill achieved only after years of internal energy cultivation. It is not magic.

Xianxia 仙侠 refers to “Immortal Heroes”. Heavily inspired by Taoism. Such dramas usually feature good/evil protagonists' attempt to cultivate to Immortality, seeking eternal life and the pinnacle of strength. Xianxia folklores/ mythologies feature magic, demons, ghosts, immortal diety...

Ye BaiYi is no immortal. He's a living person who still needs to eat to survive. He's still looking young because his inner energy level has reached pinnacle. Moreover, being a healer himself, YBY would know what's good and harmful to his own body.

Up to #16, ZZS & WKX and the others have displayed only high level of fighting ability and internal energy (内力 nèilì). No magical godly powers. No folklore diety or immortal.

The flute music is not magic. It's basically WKX's inner energy being transferred to the flute music. It's supposed to help calm down ZZS during his meditation and cultivation of his inner energy to alleviate the pain from his self inflicted injury at every midnight.

Although the place where WKX comes from is called Ghost Valley, the occupiers are not demons or ghosts. They are foresaken pugilists and/or people who are being chased after and found refuge in Ghost Valley. WKX is not a demonic cultivator. He is highly skilled because he had undergone training under many pugilist experts living in Ghost Valley. Up to #16, WKS' fighting skills are neither demonic or magical.

ZZS is also able to produce the powerful flute music to counter the harmful pipa sound because of his inner strength. Also, the flute itself is not a magical tool. Hence, WKX didn't even think twice before breaking it into pieces in anguish and despair.

XianXia immortals don't need swords for fighting. They have magical powers. Just flick a finger or swoosh the hand. Demons don't either. They can do mind control and many other things that normal Wuxia cannot.

hi Slythe, sorry to barge in on this conversation trail. Not quite sure what is being debated on. I grew up watching a fair share of WuXia and Xianxia movies and HongKong TV dramas. Hence, excuse me please for these notes.

Can you imagine...I suspected him to be bad as well but not this extent. It's true what they say about Be careful…
He got rid of the other foster son so that he's the one and only foster son assisting Zhao Jing. My guess is that Scorpion King is also scheming on his own against Zhao Jing after he succeeds in getting rid of their enemies and rule JiangHu.

in Prince Xie's flashback, it's revealed that he's one of Zhao Jing's foster sons.

Prince Xie addresses Zhao Jing as 义父 Yi Fu meaning foster father.

When the drama revealed that WKX was trying to get back at Gao Chong for his father's death, I suspected Zhao…
yes, that was one smart move. Unfortunate he's still in the dark he's betrayed by his own people.

LOL! It's hilarious to watch ZZS trying to be the peace keeper.
Yup! It sure was hilarous!

I am in awe to see the subliminal literariness of the script, loads of allusions to the ancient poetry and abundance…
Agreed, it was awesome and PHENOMENAL !!!
Haven't seen such good mix of chemistry in the main leads and supporting cast for some time already.
Well done, Word of Honor Team!
Replying to Peachgirl321 Mar 7, 2021
I haven't start watching this drama yet. Since I'm a big fan of the Untamed, I was wondering if the chemistry…
I probably get bombarded here by TU fans, but my faded memory of TU is that one was an initiative talker while the other was always pulling a straight solemn face with few words.

In WoH, though both men had sad and painful past, when they met by chance, it's like two lively cheerful men engaging in poetic bickering. As the days go by, the friendly acquaintanceship blossoms into solid friendship with care and concern for each other.

See for yourself whether you would immediately feel the difference after Ep#2...
Replying to peanutbutterjelly Mar 7, 2021
if you go back and watch the episodes again, ZZS has been subtly flirting with WKX since episode 2. they are both…
oh really?! Didn't seem like that to me. I'll rewatch #1 onwards a fourth time to check it out.

It has been years, but I am finally into another drama *_* I need all the episodes stat. Wen Ke Xing is my new…
The novel is probably good, but it can never beat watching a real life person and listening to him speak! I kept laughing at that part with all three in the cave. So funny *_* *_*

zhao jing is really a two face guy -.- I have thought that he's not a good guy but who would have thought he's…
When the drama revealed that WKX was trying to get back at Gao Chong for his father's death, I suspected Zhao Jing to be the mastermind for the pugilistic disaster 20yrs ago. The more the person appeared to be benevolent and lowly humble in public, the more schemeing and evil he can be.
On Word of Honor Mar 7, 2021
First, we have sweet flirty bickering from ZZS & WKX.
Now at #16, we have some trival squabbles between WKX & YBY.
It was nice to watch the three of them together.

now that they have revealed the killer's identity in Ep#6...
Kang Minjook has always been my #1 suspect because in the eyes of everyone, he will be the least suspicious. While DongSik might have been suspecting him, he hasn't found the body/bodies and essential evidence.

> Betrayal of so called ally/allies> Over-confidence of YoonHee seeking revenge!> Over-confidence of naive Rona…
yup, thought she returned with all ammunitions & well planned! Guess she is still naive and hasn't learnt her lesson. If HYC is aware of Logan's involvement in the revenge scheme... then there'll be another let down again...
