It is originally a 16 episode drama, but due to the high popularity of this drama at the time of broadcast, they decided to extend it by 2 episodes, hence you can feel some dragginess towards the end if you watch it nowadays. Those who watched it while it aired back in 2013 (like me) did not mind at all because we wanted to see more OTP scenes, lol. This drama is one of my all time favourites. Have re-watched it a few times over the years. We all loved FL's sassy-ness and ML's maturity and devotion. Interesting that people will interpret things differently. As for the relation, I think the show handled it well for 2013. No one thought it was off at the time, otherwise it wouldn't be that popular. Better that he is out of high school when they finally started dating then during high school, I would think. So I think it's fine. They dated when they were both adults.

As a couple of people have pointed out, just wanted to correct you and future readers, this drama has plenty of bromance, but no BL (boy love). Word of Honor is BL, not bromance. Chemistry between male leads, platonic love for each other, willing to protect and die for each other ... is bromance. =)

Plenty of bromance, but no BL (boy love).

Ah I see. I don't use tik tok and barely use twitter. People come here to see /read on the reception of the drama, if people think it's good or bad, or overrated etc. Many people gave their opinio without spoiling or they will spoiler tag their comment. I'm glad it's going viral, but just in case some one stumbles upon this drama away from social media, I think it'll be nice for them to experience the reveal of ep 5 themselves. True, many may have read it anyways, but still, you never how. Thanks for spoiler tagging it though

I'm impressed. Most of us wouldn't be able to rewatch so soon. The crying hurts, lol, even though I only cried 3 times. Need a loooooong break before I can rewatch.

That's a big spoiler for episode 5. Would you mind spoiler tagging? Thanks =

Would you mind spoiler tagging your comment, please? You have mentioned something that is meant to be a surprise reveal. Thanks =)

You are the type that doesn't cry easily and that's okay. I don't cry easily either. Drama only managed to squeeze tears out of me 3 times, whereas my sister would be crying at every single episode. Nevertheless, I call this drama a masterpiece. We're all different and react differently. No one here is exaggerating.

It's because you have described the ending. If you read through comments on here, whenever some one asks what kind of ending this drama has, many will spoiler tag their reply. Same with other dramas, many will reply ie happy ending, sad ending, open ending in spoiler tags. I don't find what you've said a big deal, but if some one thinks it's a spoiler, I think no harm in spoiler tagging your comment. Let's be kind to each other =)

The spectrum is wide. I have read comments from those who deal with autistic people that a few do speak and behave like the ML.

Spoiler tag, please. Your comment will take away the surprise of the reveal for others. Thanks.

LOL, what a keyboard-brat!

Darn it, I gave in. My previous post was meant to be my last one, but I couldn't walk away without clearing a few things.

So you're nice at work because you get paid and don't express yourself truthfully, but on an online forum behind anonymity, you choose to express yourself truthfully. Cool. And for the record, no one said you couldn't express yourself. I'd prefer it if you'd kept it to the drama only, but others have advised you better ways to express yourself without offending people.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I am assuming you're a youngster in your 20's. I am not that old. Probably your parent's age. I feel old, so I call myself an old lady, or a hag, whatever makes you happy.

To be clear, I have never made fun of your grammar. I did think perhaps you lack comprehension hence I asked if English is your first language and was gonna explain that "you must be" and "you are" basically mean the same thing, but you corrected yourself (or so I thought. I was wrong. You were being sarcastic.) Sometimes people aren't aware of the meaning behind their comments (I was going to point it out to you), but you clearly do know and you don't care.

Yes, I know people around me who have been bullied so I do have experience with bullied victims. Being a coward and being considerate/respectful of other people are two very different things. I won't explain. You can look up the dictionary.

I thought you were slowly digesting people's advice when you decided to delete your commenting calling me an idiot, but I see that advice is still falling on deaf ears.

I don't wish for you to die in real life. Please live a long life. Please outlive me. Good luck with life. Just be mindful of your choice of words. You may not consider 'you must be delusional' offensive, but some people do (evident with the replies you've had from other users), and you don't want to trigger the wrong kind of person who will threaten your life over some words. Better safe than sorry.

It might be to you. Dramas are for viewing and to be critiqued, and of course, this will always be different due to individual taste. I noticed it, it stood out to me and so I rolled my eyes. But I still continued watching. It didn't take away my overall enjoyment.

It's not ghost kinda horror, but more like grotesque looking monsters, zombie twitching kind of monsters, and yes, there is gory blood scenes. There are also jump scare scenes. However, there are some funny looking and non-scarey monsters. There is a loooot of blood though, be warned. I'm not good at horror or gorey stuff either. I will usually just bring my hands up and partially cover my vision. It is not horror all the way. There is much more emotional / touching scenes and battle scenes.

Oh really? Well that's troublesome.

Many users rate and not necessarily leave comments. Especially the ones who rate lower might not leave a comment in fear they'll get pounced on for having different views and taste.

Really? I'm not so sure.
It's an average rating. Less than 20% voted 8, but look at the percentage of those that voted lower than 8, even if the percentage is small, it still brings the average rating down. I personally voted 8.5/10. It's not too far off from my rating.

I personally found the acting a bit cringey at times, a bit anime-ish. The production value, however, is great and outshines the cringey-ness. I loved the games, action and music. Definitely check it out. You can speed through the cringey bits. That's what I did, lol. Sped watched cringey parts. Overall, very enjoyable drama.

I thought it became a bit too anime-ish too at times. That rooftop scene where they stood far apart from each other, in a perfect equilateral triangle when speaking to each other, I was like *roll eyes*. People don't stand that far apart and talk. And this was after they unnecessarily relocated to the rooftop to chat. They could have chatted wherever they were. Despite some cringey acting, I agree production value is great, loved the games and overall enjoyed the drama.

You made yourself sound stupid is exactly what it means. If you think I'm calling you stupid, then you are incorrect. Want me to emphasis it differently so you might better understand? YOU made yourself SOUND stupid. Unlike you directly calling me an idiot. Big difference. Were you triggered? Oh whoops, well hey, it doesn't have the same negative connotation. On my scale, it's only a 5. [Edit: oh, I see you've edited your comment, you can ignore this response]

Ah~~ I see. English is not your first language. That explains a lot.

You're a kiddo because I'm an old lady. Your responses give me that impression. You really do like to argue, kid. Oh, and again, no negative connotation there.

Yes, you can cater to each person's sensitivity. Express your opinions about the drama only in this thread and not about other people. Do you work? Just curious how you express your opinions about other people at work (that you disagree with/who don't agree with you).

Some people are timid and won't reply or ask for an apology. I admit I didn't like that you said to OP "you must be delusional", whether politically correct or not, whether you think it doesn't have a negative connotation or not. It's all about how it's perceived. Those kind of insensitive comments lead to online bullying. I'm not saying that's what you're doing - online bullying, but I am saying insensitive comments like that is where it may start for the victims. A couple of users have tried to advise you of better ways to express yourself and you've brushed them all away - kid much? If I am bothered by belittling online comments to another person, that means if I hear you say what you said in your first post to another person in real life, I will also speak out about it. I'm sure I won't be manipulated, but rather, I will gain allies along the way in our Sweet Home world who will help me fight off monsters that wanna kill me. =D

I don't need psychiatric help, but you definitely need to re-assess your attitude.

I feel like we're going in circles and I'm speaking to a brick wall. *yawns*. Good chat, kid.
