I want to brag about Word of Honor today, particularly about how much attention Word of Honor has gotten from overseas. On Youtube the 1st ep has over 4 mil views, and on Tumblr it has risen to top 6 of popular currently airing shows.
Even though domestically there are many people who look down on BL adaptations, Word of Honor was able to introduce overseas fans to Chinese martial arts. This drama faced a lot of doubt in the beginning and people said it was cheap and manufactured, but it's this simplicity that portrays a real feeling of brotherhood. It has traditional Chinese poetry, romantic Jianghu temples, the accumulation of 5000 years of cultural heritage, and mutual salvation/cherishment.
Only those who truly love this story can understand the author's creative intentions, the story itself and the characters, and why it is loved by viewers. Word of Honor is amazing!
