Awesome BL Adaptation-Can rewatch over! Team WenZhou♥️

First of all, I read the novel prior to the series coming out, so when I heard about the adaptation I was excited to see if the BL moments will be included since I know of how censorship works in some countries.

I’ll say, Word of Honor was more than I expected. It made me tear, feel butterflies, and gave me giggles. Although, I watched about half into the drama (ep28/36), my review speaks only to what I have seen.

The production team, scriptwriters, costumes/makes up (behind the scenes workers) and cast did an awesome job and bringing the story, setting and each character to life. It was much better than I expected since this is one of the novels from Priest that I enjoy next to another one. The scriptwriter really knows how to add the romance and confessions in the the spoken poetries from KX.

Now, I am a fan of ZZh for awhile and the character he chose to play, ZZS was perfectly portrayed. He conveyed as much emotions of who ZZS is. - A person wanting to enjoy their last moments of life since he lost everything that he couldn’t save and always felt caged, but now he spends his last few years exploring and doing what he wants, while putting his past behind him. He feels deeply, but can’t convey how he feels in words, but he does in his actions. He has a soft spot, although his exterior image is always cold and gives a unfriendly vibe. But when he meets these strangers along the way, and they earned his trust, the soft side of him shows. ZZH executed this well, especially how the ‘nails’ affects his body. Definitely one of his best works that I’ve seen. I’m happy to see he has been improving through every work.

For KX, GJ, he definitely gain a new fan. I watched a few of his works before but wasn’t a huge fan of his. Just thought he was okay, but after this role, I have high respect for him. KX was well express and GJ had a way in which he made me feel that he is KX, the person who has been hurt and lives for revenge. His life was always shrouded in unhappy moments and death because of his parents death and the life he live after his deceased parent, however, after meeting his fated person he starts to feel alive and human when he is with his fated person.

With both actors, they did so well! I can continue to praise but I won’t anymore <3

The drama is slightly different from the novel but it doesn’t take away the characters’s personalities or their intent and the main plot of the story that’s a plus! I love the relationship between the leads and their adopted child. It’s adorable. A family of 3, soon to be a family of 5. ;)

The music is good. It goes well with the drama, especially the lyrics. I really like it.

Done with my review! Hope yah enjoy the show as much as I did.

Edit: - Finished

I completed the drama when the last episode aired XXMar2021....I wished they extended souvenirs for the international fans to buy. I’ll be honest, I lost sleep over this drama and cried my eyes out for hours, even felt depression for days, not that the ending was sad or terrible, but the last few episodes does draws you in for an emotional roller coaster ride. That’s just how invested I was in the drama emotionally.
The novel didn’t drawn me in this much but the drama did. Tells you how good the drama is itself.
In general, I did enjoy every last bit of it.
To the folks who plans to give it a try or thinking about watching it, you wouldn’t regret it, but give it the first 2-3 eps before you make any decisions to drop. For those who decided to watch and/or finished, I hope you enjoy and love WenZhou, CaoXiang, CL, BY and 7th&GS as much as I did. ♥️
Anywho, thanks for reading this essay!
