Reviews

Firstly, the casting is amicably done in this series. Each character brings forth a different flavour and it's really funny and entertaining. Secondly, the chemistry between the lead pair is AMAZING! Many may not like to fall for the clichéd trope of pairing between "an attorney and his secretary" but there is a fresh feel to it here! The characters have layers and deeper stories, they're not airheads, they do not always agree with each other but make it a point to - agree to disagree. Thirdly, the soundtrack is fairly good, wish to hear more in the coming episodes! Lastly the dramatic and overactive imagination of the female lead is hilarious, it has been done deliberately. Overall this series is a really fun watch! It is sure to lift your mood. It leaves you with the message that one should be honest and make life's every moment count! :))

So overrated, I won't recommand anyone to watch it...

So it's been since its release that I've wanted to watch it yet couldn't because I couldn't find somewhere to watch it... Now I've found a site and went on it.
What I can conclude is that it's really so overrated. Why ?
First episode, the story was somehow engaging yet very slow but since I've been watching series for a long time now I know that waiting until episode 2 can sometimes be worth it so I gave it a shot.
I was really disappointed throughout the whole watching down to the fifth one... FL could have gained my sympathy if she didn't went to sleep with a married man, her neighboor. I don't blame her for wanting to let herself live when she's getting cheated on by her 'husband', on the contrary ! But when you do exactly the same thing for what you blame your husband, I mean- She should have gone with someone single. Plus like I hate the neighbour and his wife since he was a douchebag to his wife, always looking down at her, ignoring her and even humiliating her in front of their friends and her was somehow shady, like she knew everything that was going on with Tae-Oh yet didn't want to tell Sun woo unless when it was at her advantage to leak the info. Yet nobody deserves that.

FL... I was rooting for her for like the two first episodes but then she started seriously getting on my nerves. She was doing too much back and forth moves in her 'revenge'. Like at some point it was just ridiculous. I get there are many things to think of and hard choices to make when you are planning to get divorced from your fake a** husband but when you act so dumb atp it's on another level. She decides something for her revenge's sake and then soon after pheww she forgets abt it more likely writers throw avenge ideas and then take them back and move on another overdramatic plot twist 'to keep us on edge'..

Then the son of the couple. He is so selfish... He knew everything yet let his mother suffer eventhough he could clearly see something was off. He could have discussed the things out eventho he is in middle school right ?

Tae Oh's friends straight to the bin. They badmouth him ? as good friends ofc (?) and like how can so many people know about him cheating and agree on keeping it a secret without actually trying to make Tae Oh come back to reason.

Also Tae Oh's mother is as twisted as her son. Not gonna spoil but bruh. Then another proof that Tae Oh is really messed up is that even on his relative's funeral, he went straight up kissing his mistress and all ?.

Shout out to the acting tho. The actors were very talented because I felt every single emotion they wanted to convey. I would even get very angry sometimes or frustratred lmao.

To conclude it could have been better with more elaboration. Also poor hyeon seo, I couldn't see how she ended up but Sun woo could have helped her way better. She started to do it then after I just felt like she was somehow using her for her own sake... I hope I just got it wrong because I really liked her.

When a show takes itself too seriously

If you enjoy a good plot, you won't find it here. This is a very character focused drama. In every episode, there are scenes upon scenes of flashbacks and characters reminiscing on their tragic past. We know this guy and that guy had sad childhoods. We've already seen that in the last 20 flashbacks and teary scenes. We don't need more. There is no actual plot to be derived from it.

I am on episode, 6, and nothing has happened so far. Instead of developing an actual plot, the drama abuses every possible cinematic cliche, including stills, slow motion, dramatic music. If the showrunners wanted us to derive something profound out of it, the only thing I derived was boredom. I am not sure why this drama is so highly rated. There is no plot. Characters do the same things in every episode and there are melodramatic tropes everywhere.

Too slow to be a thriller

Well, I tried. After watching several promising Korean action dramas and hit a drought I turned to this. This is where watching Korean dramas took a downward turn for me.

After watching the Memorist, I figured this would be something like that. It kind of was but the FL was nothing short of inspiring to watch. Even the second FL was annoying to watch.

The guy in the wheelchair was just there just to be there. The killer didn't leave nothing to make you want to find out who he was. Beside the fact that the FL was weak in everything she did, it made it easy for me to stop watching altogether. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything.

The costumes are amazing ,the male lead is Hottttt!!! ,but for me it was rather messy this twin dual think going on didn’t work for me for both the female and male lead. The female lead makes you like her a lot and the show dims the twin sisters part she is sexually molested and all that and has difficulties whilst the other twin breezes through .

The male lead has twin who isn liked etc etc and the messy bit is both sisters like the same dude but here is the catch there are twins 2different male leads??‍♀️With the same face and sisters don’t like the same guy .....explaining is even more yahhh !!!!

I think that part was soo unnecessary caused confusion between the sisters it’s a miss for me and getting your head around the twin huhah no thanks sorry but I dropped it I think I’m going to give this a miss.

I tried watching a couple episodes to give it a chance yah it didn’t cut it

Absolute no chemistry and boring love life

This drama might get turned well if they omitted the main leads love part, especially the ML is sooo annoying. I am dropping this drama because of the ML, I have seen his few dramas most of them his character is same only the FL’s are different, he will become fully obsessed to FL after the first meet and he keeps on begging FL to love him even after got rejected so many times brutally. In most of the drama his character is same only like shameless, obsessed without any bottom line (won’t feel bad for brutal rejections, I was thinking FL to spit to his face to know at least at that time he may feel little bad or not) he can go down to any level to get the FL. The same type of characters I have seen in most of the Chinese dramas and I hate the most.

The justice is the truth word of honor

Fantastic story and wonderfull characters full of grace thanks to actors with great potentials. Specially Gong jun with his best acting till now. The show is closed to be stolen by his marvelous acting. Zhang zhe han its very good actor too,his character of Zhou Zi Shu is the counterpart of Wen Ke Xing and Both characters complement each other perfectly well. The chemistry was palpable from the first minute they both shared the scene. Scorpion king was a very complex and enigmatic character as well and very magnetic too. The script was always interesting and not at all predictable. It always amazed me. This is something to be appreciated since in the world of drama there is already a lot said and done and concepts or ideas are almost always repeated, but this is not the case in Word of honor, and it has fascinated me. It is a drama with a story well told and performed with all the casting performance. You can tell that it has been created with all the love from the team and actors. The Ost more than correct, quite emotional and very in line with the story and the feeling that the drama conveyed.

A spin off that is worse than the original

I only watched 2 episodes, maybe it got better, it obviously couldn't get worse.
The storyline was your normal Thai BL, straight guy goes up a mountain, meets a really obnoxious homosexual and turns Gay.
In the original drama the ML was straight and had a girlfriend, after being dumped and feeling devastated he decided to hit the hard stuff which got him into trouble. He then decided to try a different kind of hard stuff and that is how we got this terrible drama.
With the amount of straight men turning Gay in Thailand it is a wonder that there isn't a population decline.
Anyway, the drama was horrible, not really much more I can say about it.

Do you even want to watch this ?

I was very excited to watch this drama because i saw an mv about it but when i read the comments many people don't like the story and have dropped it but i still was interested in this drama but when i watched it i couldn't get past 3 eps because the characters emotions weren't just right every part of this show was too fast it needs to slow down how can a man like a girl after two coincidence it doesn't make sense ok love at sight does exist but in this drama it needs to be slowed down, but i did like the story settings i hope no one gets offended by this review in case i have i sincerely apologise many people might like this show but its not my type . xxx for more reviews please check out my page thanks xxx

chill story

sadly i can only find 3 episodes rn but i watched some compilations w hwang inyeop's scenes haha.

the story is kinda boring to me but it is okay to watch it if you're doing something else as studying meanwhile since you don't really need to concenrate there haha. but boring doesn't mean bad tho! it's also chill and relaxing break from other drama and there are some funny scenes included too soo :) ++ the actors are good as well.

aaaand ofc if you like hwang inyeop, its a blessing (LOL SORRY) his fits are fire and i like his chill and laid-back character here. if u like HIY i can recommend u WHY, it's pretty good and even his first acting role but he did a great job! so talented. :b (lol sorry for my fangirling- BUT he deserves his recognation and i'm proud of how far he came tee-hee)

The only thing I hate: waiting a week for the next 2 ep

Nothing to say, this drama so far is just refreshing and has the potential to be drama of the year or even more.

I just want to point out one thing: for all the people annoyed and bored by the scene where the mother is beating and being upset over the FL quitting the job and her engagement, I think you should know the basic info and cultural beliefs of a country before speaking.
This kinda of behaviour may seem odd and overreacting to your prospective but I think 99% of people saying it are not Korean. For sure that can be a little exaggerated (ps: it’s a drama, it’s supposed to not be bland) but that is how it works in Korea, you need to find a good paying job and a good partner to marry then you’re settle for life.
The other mother’s reaction says it all, parents raise you up since you were born so they expect to see their child to have a good and healthy life as an adult.

It’s not the first and it will not be the last drama that portrays Korean parents and their cultural beliefs like that so before blasting on the drama and who wrote the script like this, try to understand other culture’s differences.
