This show is below average in techincal department, the music was just “ok”, it lacks real and believable chemistry between the leads and the script is sloppy and most of the time boring and incosistent. A friend of mine told me they added all the past connection to the two leads and it’s such an abused and idiotic thing to do in an already confused plot. I didn’t pay to watch a drama in “majkang” style.

The actors were way more incapable than most of the people say. If GOOD acting is all about waving your fan, reciting poems and eye rolls, well they did a good job… but acting is conveying emotions and noone in the cast did it fully. Their caricatural acting was anticlimatic because having a handsome face doesn’t mean you’re a good actor. Yeah, I’m talking about Gong Jun and Li Dai Kun: they’re extremely good looking guys but their performance weren’t THAT good or memorable.
In particular Zhang Zhe Han did an awful job portraying Zhou Zishu: he looks absent -minded most of the time or clearly changes his expression on demand. His worst performance was during the torture scene: he reminded me of “L'absinthe” by Edgar Degas. MAN, THEY’RE TORTURING YOU and you look like me when I have to wake up at 2 a.m. to work.
The chemistry between Wen Ke Xing and Zhou Zishu has no basis: the credibility of their relationship is based on words rather than gestures and on skinship instead of real feelings. There’s no deep comunication or romantic involvement.

It’s also misleading to let people think Tian Ya Ke is similar in ANY WAY to Chen Qing Ling.
The Untamed is an absolute masterpiece in acting, character development, script and music while Word of honor is cringey in acting, incoherent in character development, has a boring and incomprehensible script and music is forgettable.
Even the action sequences in Word of honor have always the same scheme, are boring and they last for few minutes while in The untamed we see many battle scenes that are convincing and Yibo's fights are one of the sexiest things on this planet. He's a marvelous vision in those moments.
It’s bothering that people constantly compares the two couples because Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji have one of the most beautiful, romantic, deep, meaningful, balanced relationship I’ve ever seen on screen, a connection based not only on words but also on non verbal communication, stares, caring gestures.
Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu on the other hand are a roller coaster of incomprehensions, arguments like five year old children who are unable to communicate.
The changes they did in The untamed’s adaptation were for the better while in Word of honor they unbalanced the relationship between Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu for fanservice sake.
The only similarity between the two series is the horryfing cg.

I decided to post my thoughts about the series because I’m sick of Word of honor community that brainwash people to verify their account only to rate this series 10/10, and I’m even more upset that people who tries to call out the flaws of this series are silenced and bullied by the same three or four fake accounts.
Please, everyone should be free to express their opinion without getting bullied.
