i really wish youku had put all of these little bits in for the original episodes (i would've liked to die even more while watching for the first time). however, tbh, i'm soooo glad they're releasing them now, after VIP airing is finished. that's why none of us can get down from this mountain -- because youku is forcibly tying us down with these special episodes and behind the scenes.

in the sun bathing scene, the special version also added "Besides being handsome" to WKX's line when he was asking ZZS how people saw him.

I can't remember if it was available for international viewers or just chinese viewers. I know I could pay to access it afterwards tho!!

i tried to buy tickets for CQL concerts and it was a nightmare. it will probably be the same for SHL...

yes, please! they should do it like tencent did for CQL and have paid livestreams.

i think they'll be airing BTS until april 15th? i am loving all the extra content youku is giving us.

that's my favorite part about the ending fight scene. it's not just a direct re-enactment of the fight scene on the boat, but that ZZS was the one doing the chasing -- their actions now mirrored each other's.

i've been DYING for this scene because there was a close up photo for the forehead touch but no vid before. omg. it looks so tender. and WKX really did hug ZZS for a while.

ep 29 he was captured. ep 30 in tian chuang.

I love this review of SHL from dramapotatoe (include spoilers): https://dramapotatoe.com/word-of-honor-cdrama-final-review-part-1-a-reminder-of-sincerity/

in that call sheet, there were apparently 2 (or 3) different endings: A, B/B1.

A ending is similar to the ending we have now, with them living / fighting together as immortals. B ending is ZZS on the snowy mountain teaching Deng Kuan's, and "saw" WKX but it ended up being just an illusion. it's possible that ZZH and GJ thought that B ending was the ending?

it is possible that the ending we have now is a HE that combined scenes from both A and B. when ZZS looked surprise upon turning around, it was possible that they took that shot from the B ending. but ultimately, it's a HE. :)

i agree. i actually don't mind stoic male leads if they're actually shown as being more than just that throughout the drama. i feel like, half of the times, a drama is ruined for me due to badly written scripts (the rest of the times it's the acting/lack of chemistry between the leads). it's really unfortunate. despite the problems with WOH (especially towards the end) -- i am grateful to that we were able to have a decent script writer and two actors with amazing chemistry to give us this drama.

they updated the # of ratings, too! it was stuck at 1.3k ratings for forever.

if you like wuxia dramas and like (or at least don't mind) BL, then yes, it's a very good drama to watch.

if you only get a 1 month subscription, it should be less than $5. then $1 for the special ep.

the OST for WOH is finally on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/album/7i8193FRhvWDPiSsiy3cEj

same! i'm happy with the ending, but i wish it weren't already over. this is one drama where i wish it could've been longer.

yes, the bonus clip is canon! i guess it's the only way for them to get around censorship, but everything supports the special ep/bonus.

right?! sometimes i wish we could've had a regular release schedule for the entire drama without VVIP -- the intensity of the daily discussions! but i'm honestly just glad we were able to have the entire drama aired (special ep included).

ZZH and GJ also posted on douyin of them "waking" up from their dreams -- and their douyin matched: they both woke up at the moment in the sun in ep 12. they're really making me emotional, as though the ending hasn't done that already.
