Same! I just joined and MDL rating baffles me. It seems to favour popularity over quality, but from what little data they show the end score doesn't seem to reflect the votes? It hurts my brain.

I can't wait to meet book ZZS. I usually don't mix books and movies cause it leads to many frustrations. My brain seems to have little problem dialing up what has been dialed down it seems;)

I think I was still asleep writing this;) Even I can't understand what I meant...

I saw 9.2 had 1.9k votes and now it's back to 1.3k but the rating lowered to 8.5... What kind of algorithm are they using?? Probably a very complicated one:) Or maybe they're waiting for more than 600 people out of 5000 watching to actually finish the drama...

I just watched an interview with Gong Jun where he said he doesn't like when people call him silly and adorable. But honestly how can we not, when he digs himself into all this awkward situations?! Like saying he watched a show while at university, when it hasn't even been airing yet... Plus his face really hides nothing. It's hilarious when ZZH trolls him and he struggles to come up with a come back, just smiles, says thank you or gets stuck thinking hard... I laughed so hard when a writing on the screen appeared at one time saying: „GJ.exe failed to respond”. And he gets so adorably eager at times shouting „Yes!” Lets do it!” and ZZH looks at him with such amusement:) I usually find actor interviews repetitive and boring, but this dynamic duo is just something else. I mean if they did a stand-up comedy tour, I'd fly to China to watch that:D I do hope we get to see more of them together in the future. On a separate note, I just came back from a trek and finally in 20 hours or so will be able to scroll down and open all these spoilers you guys left;)))

Use your PC and autotranslate the page in chrome:) You just type english title Word of Honor in the search bar and the one that comes up with english descritption is the one with the eng subs. If you don't feel comfortable with subscribing to anything in Chinese, use Seagm site to buy youku vip card that automatically expires. The cheapest one is weekly for 1EUR. And you can pay with visa. Hope that ends your suffering;)

Wait, what has societal acceptance to do with recognizing gay/minority rights? People fight for those rights not to promote or flaunt, but because we believe everyone deserves to be equally treated under the law. So when a hate crime happens or they get violated, the attacker gets punished and the victim protected. And let's be honest some of the countries you mentioned not only 'frown upon' homosexuality but actively persecute people. Your story about London reminded me about sth that happened in my country recently, when two guys got knived on the street and a politician, who's known for brainless comments, said they should have expected it just like football fans of one team going on the territory of another team... Yeah, to me it's the same rhetoric as rape victim blaming - since a woman was walking alone at night... Society is full of prejudices, but just as I'm unwilling to live in a cage, I'm not gonna put anyone else in it for their 'safety'. Anyway, I'm also excited for this new genre sparked by TU and WOH and hope for more great love stories to come:)

Yes! They're getting so playful with each other<3 I liked the running joke on bringing nothing but trouble since they met, when we know it's been their greatest happiness;)

Yes, the jumping scene! The look in ZZS's eyes and GJ's insanely beautiful hand outstretched to catch him<3 the cabinet part was a bit like watching Indiana Jones just with cute teasing:) ...and blunt sarcasm. YBY's becoming my favourite, I think.

I think there's still a large camp following the episodes on YT. But probably hiding away from spoilers:)

So no comments on ep18?? It really has everything - awkward family moments, ZZS letting loose, YBY's own brand of sarcasm, declarations of feelings, life saving, physical affection, WKX threatening to burn the world, flying cut sleeves, the whole package:D I guess the finale overshadowed this outstanding episode;)

LOL, AB has awful direction. But GJ's acting is something else... It's like he can't even control his face:) At least 70% of my enjoyment of that series came from GJ's acting skills:D

No wonder ZZH trolls him so much. He's just so easy to poke fun at:)

I know, I've seen your comments:) I do think the bromance tag is misleading on this one.

No way, Gong Jun talked about money in his interview?! That never happens LOL

Thx, I really want to read it. Are there any spoilers to the plot? Cause I'm still on a mission to avoid those.

Of course, it's a gay love story:) Very obvious by the end. Do people really need kissing/sex/declarations to recognize romance, when the MLs basically live with each other, sleep in one bed and go on dates?!
So give this one a pass. Gong Jun looks younger than the other lead actor but he's
still firmly in his twenties.

Thx! I thought I missed some big introduction at the start:)

Yes, this should be tagged as a 'historical romance'! Because it clearly is:) I really think it surpassed the 'censored adaptation' tag. Let's see if it sparks a new genre.

Hmm 50 mins? I've watched 30 episodes, and each was just over 20min. Where did you watch that first ep?
