The most touching BL adaption
Just finished watching this drama last night and I cannot get it out of my mind!
At first, I didn't have high expectation on BL adaption. I have read the original novel Faraway Wanderers by Priest and quite like it.
When I heard that there would be adaption of the novel, I check the actors and thought that they look kinda good as the characters in my imagination. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. And this one is surprisingly much better than my expectation. I got into it more and more and chased the drama everyday (it never happened before).
Although the story is quite different from the original novel but they successfully keep the essence of it. The part I like the most in the novel is the relationship between 2 male leads and the drama has well delivered it. This is the story about 2 mature man who have done many bad things in their life and have no joy to keep on living. They are both ready to die but they found each others. That when they found their salvation and desire to live. Their relationship is subtle but deep. It was built with mutual understanding and sympathy, no chaos, no misunderstood and always support each others without doubts. I think the drama expressed this relationship well. The two main actors Gong Jun and Zhang Zhe Han also portrait the characters really well. I was touched by their acting skills and great chemistry.
Other aspects of the drama such as costume, martial arts, action scenes are also very well done. Only the VFX is not good at some scenes and that is understandable since they didn't have big investment. But overall, they still managed to produce a beautiful work.
I want to express my appreciation to all the actors, staff and crews of Word of Honor for their dedication to make an excellent drama! Thank you for giving me great experience and beautiful memories with your drama!
