EXPLORE THE BEAUTY OF CENSORED ROMANCE TO THE LARGEST EXTENT

I would like to warn the readers that this is a totally biased review of why I feel the need to make all drama lovers watch this extremely poignant and beautiful series.

To start off with, let me point out the obvious - The characters. Wen Ke Xing is a man who's of a dual nature, mostly visible when he's away from the ML. WKX's character is so intricately written and has so much story to back up his actions, that his counterpart, Zhou Zi Shu, comes off as a little bland in the first half of the show. As a reader of the book, I knew more than to just judge his character in the first ten to fifteen episodes and knew there would be a lot of character development, which did happen later. The supporting characters were equally brilliantly portrayed, which was totally unexpected because the novel itself was a bit shallow when it came to the depiction of the other characters.

The romantic aspect of this show is obviously the highlight of Word Of Honor because of how explicitly evident the bond between WKX and ZZS is. In the drama, their bond is much deeper than like and love. It is so great, it will warm your heart and make you feel fluffy. Unlike BL's, there's a beauty in a censored BL adaption, The Untamed being one of the best, with Word Of Honor joining the list.

The plot of the drama is very different from that of the book but in a good way. I really like what they did with the story in the drama and as a reader of the original work, I have absolutely no complaints. The storyline got slow-paced in between, but it was needed as it is what led to what happened after.

The fights in this drama were very pleasing to watch and you could see the hard work that went into directing them. I heard that the drama's length was shortened due to the lack of resources and even not considering the obstacles it faced, WOH turned out to be a great watch. It was both engaging and entertaining and hooks the viewer from the very beginning.

Most people wouldn't regret watching this, so please give it a try!! It's such a breath of fresh air and you might never know, this is the drama you have been looking for!
