The drama was good to watch for 2 main reasons. Acting and Looks of the Lead roles!

Otherwise I feel the storyline is lacking depth. There is much history between the two lead roles which is not clearly defined. Dramatization of certain parts seems too extravagant and doesn't seem realistic. And the story feels rushed. 40 episodes would have been a more comfortable stretch if they had dug into the main characters a bit more.

The music was good, however not addictive. When I listen to its title track, I immediately do not connect to the 24 episodes that I saw. In many other dramas like Guardian, GOT, Scarletheart, Prison Playbook, Legend of Chusen, etc; their OSTs are very addictive and recognizable.

But still, it was a great one time watch. ENJOY!

A Pleasure To Watch...!

The reason I feel that Gong Jun and Zhang ZheHan’s acting skills are really really very good in this drama:-

I recently read in a tweet where Priest’s WoH novel readers were discussing that who amongst ZZH and GJ was more dominant in the (Supposed) relationship...

This is when I noticed...

When they are in the drama as A-Xu and Lao Wen, then Wen KeXing seems to be the dominant force...

But when they are together in normal attire in interviews and all, it surely feels like ZZH is going to dominate over this bubbly n cute little shidi of his....! Coz Gong Jun in real life is much more shy than Zhang Zhe Han..... WELL ACTED! Indeed Great Acting Skills!

The casting decisions despite being totally revised due to COVID remained so accurate and to a certain extent even better than the previous choices!

This proves that the casting team & producers, script writers, director and especially the actors were reallllyyyyyyy good in the drama and the script was very well written so as to bring out the characters from within the actors....!

I look forward to WORD OF HONOR winning many many awards this year!

I had first read the book already, so grasping the gist of the storyline wasn't that difficult. I was initially not expecting too much from the actors, however, both the lead roles did an amazing job!

Especially, Shen Wei's character is played beautifully by Zhu Yi Long! He perfectly resonates with the description in the book! *APPLAUSE*!

The special effects are decent and the Title Track music is fantastic! (Though reminds me of the Game of Thrones Title track). Also, considering the storyline in the book and such amazing casting, I feel 40 episodes were too less and kept on wanting more!

Overall, great drama. Must watch atleast once, and then read the book as well if possible.
