Which Chinese Drama was the “Drama Powerhouse” South Korea addicted to? = "The Visual is God-tier" and "The Level of Fun is No Joke"

The Chinese drama, whose fans are gradually increasing in Japan in 2021, is also rapidly increasing in popularity in the neighbour "drama powerhouse" South Korea. Photo: "Word of Honor".

While Chinese drama is gradually gaining fans in Japan, its popularity is also rising rapidly in the neighbour “drama powerhouse” South Korea.

One of the most talked about was the bromance martial arts fantasy drama "Word of Honor," which was a huge hit in China and was first broadcast in Japan in August. In South Korea, broadcasting began on 中華TV, a channel specializing in Chinese shows, at the end of May. Currently, many OTT (Over-the-Top) service sites such as WATCHA, Seezn, and TVING offer distribution, and they are highly evaluated and rated high in the ranking.

Looking at the review column,

"The level of fun is really serious. The combination of the visual of the two main characters is not hampered."

"It was a strike when I watched it without expectation. The visual is at the god level."

"I tend to pay attention to the visuals of the leading role only, but everyone is beautiful up to the supporting roles."

"Just two beautiful men staring at each other and laughing makes me feel so happy."

"Not only the acting of the actors, but also the appearance is wonderful. The scene of fighting with a fan is so beautiful that you can't think of it as a drama. I got into in this show because the acting skills of both leading actors and supporting actors are so good."

"This show has it all: the visuals, stories, acting, and characters. The best Chinese drama I've seen this year."

And many more acclamations.

Others said,

"I only watched Korean dramas, but after I entered the world of Chinese dramas, I stopped watching them at all. They are as addictive as Korean dramas."

"I'm addicted to it, so please take responsibility. Give me up to 50 episodes!"

"Why is it so short? There are about 60 and 70 episodes in other Chinese dramas. I feel so lonely after i done watching it."

There were also comments complaining about "Word of Honor Loss" (the loss after watching the drama).

Gu Xiang & Cao Wei Ning

Many characters who have became dear to viewers died in this series. Gu Xiang, Cao Wei Ning, Tragicomic Ghost, Beauty Ghost, even the girls of Unfaithful Department and minions of Ghost Valley who looked happy to greet the guest from Gentle Wind Sect had to die.

I know. I know it hurts so much whenever we remember about their death. Even the voice actors of these characters also felt deep pain after the recorded that scene. To heal themselves, they recorded few lines from the novel (extra chapter) where Cao Wei Ning met Gu Xiang in the netherworld.

Watch the video on this thread (there's also the commentary of the voice actors):

And here's the extra chapter from "Faraway Wanderers" about Cao Wei Ning & Gu Xiang in netherworld:

I love it that Cadillac picked up their story and applied a reincarnation theme for the advertisement. They're stay true to the story (Cao Weining's promise to open up a dessert shop, the Red Bracelets of Fate, etc). At least for me it's a big reassurance that Cao Weining and Gu Xiang surely will always be lovers and fated for each other for all lifetime 🥲

In case you didn't know, on Word of Honor Theme Concert day 1 they held the wedding of CaoXiang to heal everyone's heart and to fulfill what couldn't be done in the drama.

Ma Wen Yuan and Zhou Ye sang 缘灭 which is the OST of Cao Wei Ning & Gu Xiang's story.

This clip/gif was trending for the unintentional entangle of Gu Xiang's head-dress and Cao Weining's hair. It's like they're fated 🥺

Nervous groom, shy bride, and their happy parents.

In this wedding everyone is alive. Aunt Luo being a matchmaker for a happy wedding, no longer a Tragicomic Ghost who held a funeral wedding for the unfaithful men.

Here's behind the scene of the wedding:

At last they ended it with serving their parents the nonexistence tea and Family Portrait 🥲🥰

And they live happily ever after 😊

Watch full wedding ceremony on their concert, available with English subtitles on Youku youtube channel (paid content). whisper: you can also find it on shlarchive carrd 🙊

Bonus:

Lovey-dovey couple and a cute third-wheel little brother 🤭 (my favorite gif)

WORD OF HONOR

Compilation of Analysis & Theories

Producing "bromance" drama is very risky in Mainland China because the country does not support the LGBTQ+ community. If a production team wants to publish a series with same-sex relationships between the main leads and/or supporting cast they have to follow the standards set by the censorship, making it as "normal" as possible. Of course explicit skin-ship like kissing and cuddling is out of limit. Therefore, scriptwriters must do their best to convey the romance between the main characters by using various ways which implies that the relationship between characters leads to a romantic relationship in a very subtle way possible yet can be understood by the audience. The media are in the form of poetry, figures of speech, idioms, gestures, culture references, and even properties that are presented as a background.

As the people who live on the mountain a.k.a ShanRen we are lucky that Word of Honor passed the censorship despite Wen Ke Xing's shameless & blatant flirting 😅

But that's not the only "sugar" we get from this series. We are also fortunate to have Xiao Chu as a script/screenwriter. She is a big fan of Priest and takes on this project with passion 🔥 With her genius mind she has managed to create a story from a short novel (77 chapters), developed the plot and characters, and delivered a great show that can be enjoyed by all genders & ages. So even in the world of tragedy & bloodshed we can still enjoy a lot of "sugar" in this wuxia historical drama 😊

We are also blessed by fans (mostly native Chinese or Chinese descendants) who are so generous in sharing anecdotes, detailed explanations of language and cultural references throughout the series that we foreign fans have missed or even seen but may not understand. So here I have collected some informative threads (Twitter), video, article, etc 😊

➡️ Translation of an article/interview with Ma-jie (Chief Producer of "Word of Honor")

It is as what the head of thread says: Super informative!

➡️ Insights and Explanations of All the Details in WORD OF HONOR

a MUST-WATCH! Especially the lip-reading cuz the production team dubbed the original lines said by the actors with something else in order to pass censorship 🤭

Also the video about poetry because AvenueX explained the cultural references like cut-sleeves, the bread, etc which has sexual meaning & homoeroticism in it 👀

➡️ Word of Honor is a WUXIA drama.

"What is jianghu?"

"Why are they flying?"

"Word of Honor looks similar to xxx"

"Word of Honor copied xxx scenes!"

Now, let's learn about what is Wuxia and why some things happened and why "Word of Honor" is different with another BL drama 😊 This is a very informative & educative piece of article for us foreigners.

SPOILERS ALERT❗

➡️ Unique Aesthetic in "Word of Honor": CIRCULAR ⭕

"Circular design is never ending, a sense of harmony, & emotionally softer. The drama break the traditional aesthetic of wuxia, which is square & upright. This is also a visual manifestation of the sentiment/emotions between the two protagonists; circles are softer expressions." - @naanthots

➡️ The Wedding 👨‍❤️‍👨

Scriptwriter was so bold to write this scene and how did they get away from censorship? 😅

It was so romantic and intimate 🥺

➡️ The Death of Characters

Many characters who have became dear to viewers died in this series. Gu Xiang, Cao Wei Ning, Tragicomic Ghost, Beauty Ghost, even the girls of Unfaithful Department and minions of Ghost Valley who looked happy to greet the guest from Gentle Wind Sect had to die.

Why did the writer do that?

Why can't they have a happy ending?

They're not bad people despite the "ghost" attached to their identity!

Their death is unnecessary!

Well, first of all we have to remember that the main genre of this series is wuxia. What is jianghu without blood, greed, revenge, and tragedy in it?

Additional:

Four Sage of Anji also didn't make it.

But why Zhang Cheng Ling survive?

It's because when it happened Cheng Ling was under the protection of Prince Qi and Wu Xi, and this couple is as ruthless as WenZhou.

i just created a tumblr post for CaoXiang's wedding here to heal the wounds post ep 35 🥲

Note: will update more later and will continuously add more links 👍🏼
