Word of Honor but it's just Zhao Jing touching people
Drama: Word of Honor 山河令
Zhao Jing touches people. A lot. Other people like touching him, too. This compilation took way too long to make.
Zhao Jing and Shen Shen [Period] | Word of Honor 山河令
Word of Honour spoilers up to and including episode 6 (rewatch)
I am finally rewatching Word of Honour. In recent times this has been my favourite show. I have yet to read the book or Qi Ye, so please - no spoilers for those.
These are some things that I have noticed on my rewatch so far (6 episodes in):
Shen Shen is an idiot. An impulsive idiot. This is much more noticeable during a rewatch. So much mistrust could have been avoided if he had just calmed down a little bit and held his horses before jumping to fighting but hey, that is pretty on point for his character.
Wen Kexing IS a mother hen. I had gotten used to how the fandom memes on him for it and had forgotten just how cannon this is.
Cheng Ling has every right to be distrustful of his uncles. On my first rewatch this had really annoyed me but after noticing just how much the sworn brothers of the 5 Lake Alliance didn't trust each other, it makes a lot more sense.
This had shocked me on my first watch but just being reminded of how many times this show gave the figure to censorship was great! XD
Han Ying shows up in the Jianghu a lot earlier then I had remembered so that was cool.
Also just the first scene with the Scorpion King. Now, I have been his fan from his first appearance. However, after I got to know him and his motivations - he became one of my favourite antagonists (very morally grey, that one is).
I think that those are all of my observations so far. I can't wait to continue the show and continue sharing my thoughts here. This show very much is my current favourite C-Drama and has been my favourite for almost a year now.
Word of Honour spoilers up to and including episode 12
This is a continuation of my previous post where I set out some of the things I noticed while watching this show a second time.
Here's goes:
Just how involved in the Jianghu Tian Chuang was from the very beginning. I had completely forgotten about that!
I was once again reminded of how much an impulsive idiot Shen Shen is. Like how did this guy succeed in being sect leader????? You'd think that the previous guy would have picked someone with at least a little bit more political savviness. Or at the very least that he would have been taught it.
We get our 1st "my soulmate" a lot earlier than I had remembered xD.
Gao Chong is a lot more of a careful leader than I had seen during my first watch with how he interacts with his sworn brothers.
The clue about who the main antagonist truly is is sprinkled into the story really well and sometimes the off hand things the characters say really foreshadow what will happen. As someone who had already watched the show and is rewatching it, it was delightful to pick up on those hints.
Speaking of foreshadowing, the deaths of the 4 soulmates (I forgot what the story called them) really does a good job foreshadowing the bleakness of the fight for the Glazed Armour.
That's it so far!
