Frankly aside from ZZH carelessness and the despicable antifans, blame the Japanese government. Not only no apology and acknowledgement of WW2 crimes after all these years - and not only to China, but Korea and even arguably most of Southeast Asia - but still going to pay homage every year! If they weren't still doing that, those photos would just be holiday photos.

It's partly a witchhunt fuelled by envy and money-grubbers intersecting with politics and history and unfortunate carelessness on the part of ZZH...but the speed and severity of the situation is quite overwhelming - as someone said even Kris Wu wasn't taken down so fast.

Yes, officialdom has already spoken.................augh. And we were all so looking forward to more great things from ZZH. This is just too heartbreaking!

Yes it was around sometime ago, I've got this link, but no subs: https://t.co/oPE4VMe3mG?amp=1

As a haizhe am so so sad now......

Oh s...t, ZZH is in deep trouble after old photos of him at Yasukuni shrine popped up or perhaps better to say were dug up. Huge backlash now. How is he going to survive this political shitstorm? And this probably means we'll not be seeing any of his dramas for the foresseable future...if ever.

Lovely, thanks for headsup.

Yes, the curse of c-dramas - dragging it out so they can presumably earn more from ads, sponsorship etc while sacrificing plot integrity. Commercialism always seems to trump artistic considerations leading to unsatisfactory pacing and storylines. For eg. right now the 2 leads seem to be practically paralyzed while their enemies just toy with them interminably. Even the part where XS finally asks the dad to help take some action has an injection of introspective remorse from the dad!!! It's like holy shit - are you guys seriously going to talk to death and wait for someone to rub out the hotel footage or what?

Ikr? What's with the styling in contemporary cdramas? The only bright spot was the bromance. I can't find subbed crime crackdown....

Yes, he does look great. So far I’m finding this story more enjoyable than the Allen Ren undercover one. I think with 24 eps this will be a much tighter plot.

Which episode are you up to? It's that "girl falling in front of the horse" scam I assume?

Feel like someone should tell him about the ending and bonus clip etc - youku should really do a complete ending already and just release that on YT as well as to the other streaming platforms - it's just shortchanging new viewers

That would be the profile she created while still in high school to chat with YT - without identifying herself as his classmate, she commented on his astronomical interests to try to reach out to him.

I just saw on soc med - love Neil Gaiman's work; love WOH - what a great meeting of cultures! Who knows maybe Neil Gaiman's next work will have wuxia elements - LOL!

Truly he's digging a giant hole for himself - want to see how he gets himself out of it later if he wants to salvage the relationship

definitely - but you have to watch ep 37 - see the link in Recent Discussions above

Anyone know anything about the new Youku wuxia - A Peaceful World/ Shan he wu yang? I see it's got
Fan Jin Wei and Wang Rou Lin in it and premiering today.............

You have to watch the epilogue as everyone says, cos "the reports of WKX's death have been greatly exaggerated"...........

The scriptwriter's name is Xiao Chu. She's a hardcore wuxia fan and I think she's brilliant as this is her very first script for costume c-drama. As the original novel by Priest is actually very short, Xiao Chu had to add and expand a lot, even adding on new poetry lines.
Read the interview with her here for more info: https://dramapotatoe.com/interview-with-word-of-honor-scripwriter-xiao-chu-part-one-on-the-characters-and-actors/

Mamma mia! Too many people will not get the ending if there's no ep 37. Just noticed amazon hasn't got it too......so only viki was awake enough to realise there's an epilogue? Definitely going to email them.
