General Spoiler Alert (nothing specific)

[(Anonymous)]

I love Word of Honor, and I love the Untamed! There's a lot of similarities: based on BL novels, and the showrunners and actors clearly knew the novels were a romance and kept in as much as they could get away with.

However, they're different shows, both in scope and in pacing. I can see why people would like one but not the other. The Untamed is still probably my favorite (so many side characters I love!) but Word of Honor is different because other characters can recognize they love each other--really, this show pushed the envelope. They've literally cut each other's sleeves.

Protip to anyone who decides to try Word of Honor: the ghosts aren't really ghosts, they're criminals and undesirables. Think of Ghost Valley as Australia.

Agreed. The romance seems more explicit in this one. Not only do the two leads figure it out much sooner, but everyone acknowledges that their relationship is Sui generis even if they can't explicitly label it as romantic love. They're treated as a couple, and there's more physical affection and touching, especially on Wen Ke Xing's part.

They also apparently filmed a lot of very unmistakable dialogue and just dubbed it over with something else to pass censorship haha. It's just a pity they obviously have a much lower budget than The Untamed had, it really shows sometimes. And they use the title song far too liberally imo, though it gets better in the later episodes. And the slightly changed ending apart (which I find okay but not great), I'm generally in favour of quite a few things they changed from the novel (especially the role/character of the Scorpion).

I cackled, thank you for that.
