They truly are cruel with some of these cliffhangers! 😫 Still, I suppose getting to see WKX being all protective again helps make up for it. Hopefully them bringing up the nails this early, assuming the next eps get to that, will mean the show will give plenty of time to the reaction to that reveal. Give the angst levels it truly deserves! Thanks for another video! I’m glad you seem to be feeling better

ZZS getting more comfortable and joking back at WKX always warms my heart. In ep 9 I mentioned how WKX opening the door reflected their relationship, now he’s back to barging in, and ZZS doesn’t even flinch. The makeup flirting scene is everything. My mind also went straight to the gutter when ZZS told WKX to kneel, and also at "Call me master and I will teach you everything" 😊 YE BAIYI IS HERE!!! One of my favorite characters. I can’t wait for you to see more of him. Also love that WKX refers to him as “that strange, pretty boy at the restaurant” when talking to ZZS lmao😂 The “Token of Honor” Ye Baiyi gives Gao Chong is the Chinese name of the show - Shan He Ling (山河令). “Shan He” literally means “mountains and rivers”, often used to refer to the whole country. “Ling” means command/order, so in this case, it refers to a physical token that represents authority. So when YBY said “Take your Shan He Ling” to Gao Chong, a direct translation would be “The Order of the Land,” which sounds awkward, so they went with Token of Honor, or our English name of the show - Word of Honor. It fits, since the order represents the Sword Immortals’ vow to destroy Ghost Valley, as Gao Chong said. That’s how I see it. Tragicomic Ghost acts all cold and tells Alluring Ghost she won’t protect her if WKX loses it again, but then immediately tells her to bring an umbrella because it’s going to rain. I really like their relationship. And hooo boy, the whole thing with Alluring Ghost and Yu Qiufeng is so intense Even when ZZS talks about going to hell, WKX can’t stop flirting. His line about burning together is dark but weirdly sweet. He even compares them to youtiao, a Chinese doughnut symbolizing a historical husband and wife duo that people hate being fried together in hell. Iconic. I really like how the show handles the mystery around WKX’s identity. They gave enough clues to lead the audience to believe and develop the theory that he’s Rong Xuan’s son, so they didn’t drag it out too long. We saw the same hints ZZS did, and since he’s smart and an assassin, it makes sense that he would have the same theory too. So he just asked the question we were all thinking. But then his and our theory gets shut down, and even more questions come up. It’s a good mystery because it gives the audience enough to follow along, instead of just trying to shock us with answers that come out of nowhere. I know it sounds basic, but not even other great shows I like do that, so I just appreciate it when I see it. About the spinning at the end, I heard a lot of fans said they were shocked when they saw it in the show, since in other Chinese dramas, straight couples often do that. I don't watch a lot of Chinese shows so I can't comment, but that is awesome.

The cliffhangers are INDEED cruel! How dare! But yes, so worth it to see WKX being protective there at the end! And yes, they are just BUILDING this angst with the nails getting mentioned and slowly drawn out (no pun intended...though I hope they do) -- the angst is getting prepped; I can sense it and I'm NOT READY! And thank you for the kind words and comment! Yes, getting on the mend! <3 Thank you for the well wishes!

I just LOVE ZZS getting more comfortable, flirty, and soft with WKX! That makeup scene is just…and that line you mentioned! *SLURPS TEA LOUDLY* I’m excited about Ye Baiyi being here nand to see how his dynamic with these two plays out! Thank you for the information about the token! And rooolllll credits! Interesting! The dynamic of “passive aggressive love and yearning” between the Alluring, Tragicomic, and Feng is so impressive and intense! I was in AWE! But yeah, you can tell the Tragicomic ghost cares for Liu! Honestly, WKX and ZZS would probably be okay burning together in the afterlife! And YES, I was right with ZZS and his thoughts on WKX’s identity, but then the rug was pulled out! I’m glad we have more questions but also some answers this episode, but that just furthers my intrigue with him! I appreciate it as well! And yessss, that spinning! OOHHH, the connotation? HERE. FOR. IT. YAY! Thank you for all the information and the comment! So happy I don’t have to wait as long for Episode 14!

Romania: He's so romantic! Meanwhile my NSFW brain can't help but think of the story about the sword and the scabbard in terms of sexual love with the sword being euphemistic for a penis and the scabbard being the gender neutral place of where it gets put 🤭🤣 I just love the colour scheme for the Tragicomic Ghost. Typically red and green make me think of Christmas, but the colouring for the Tragicomic Ghost's lair gives a much more spooky/ghostly vibe to it. Who knew even disguising make-up could be used as a method of flirting?? 🥰 Zhou Zishu's words about knowing the person well enough to disguise as a person is such a great way to lead into learning that Liu Qianqiao imitated Yu Qiufeng. Ye Bai Yi is here!!! 🥳🤍 I've been waiting for his introduction since you started. I love his nonchalance with the Five Lakes Alliance, and then the way he enjoys his food. Gao Chong coming in and murdering the Tragicomic Ghost's people is truly unexpected. For him to attack her of all people is truly shocking. I really love getting Luo Qianqiao's backstory. It's really painful. Explains perfectly why it's now raining 😆 But also interesting that as a Ghost she is a subordinate of the Tragicomic Ghost given how she was cast out by Yu Qiufeng's wife. Another reason for loving Ye Bai Yi, instead of talking Zhou Zishu into showing him his wounds he just immediately goes to trying to fight him and force his clothes off of him 😂 Means we get Wen Ke Xing coming in to protect his man 😍 So from CDramas, donghua and manhua that I've watched and read it honestly depends on the rating in regards to the censorship even for straight couples. They definitely don't get censored to the same extreme as BL couples in live actions/donghua but in manhua there is a similarity in terms of censorship for kissing scenes (I think about a year or so ago it was silver butterflies being placed to hide their lips touching from view so many people got on board blaming Hua Cheng for the censorship 🤣) or bedroom scenes (bodies shrouded in smoke/fog or flowers, or just a fade to black), depending on what the age rating on the manhua is. In dramas or donghua I have found that there isn't the same subtext applied for heterosexual couples as there is for homosexual ones, and they can be more overt in the language used and actions between the couple. What I have noticed though is that there is a difference in romance or sex scenes in a lot of Chinese dramas in comparison to a lot of Western dramas; biggest difference being that typically kisses are done with their mouths firmly closed and so not usually the kind of passionate kissing with tongues that appear in Western dramas.

If Zhou Zishu keeps body padding in his disguise kit, I wonder if he can disguise himself as different genders like Liu Qianqiao. #FREETRAGICOMICGHOST #FREEHER

Drag Race: Mountain Villa - I'm ready!! Thank you for the comment!

OKAY LOOK I WAS THINKING OF THE REFERENCE – I was just trying to avoid the MXTX Gutter Mind! 😛XD The color scheme of the green and red is so good! Gao Chong showing up and intersecting with the Tragicomic Ghost is WILD – I was not expecting that development! The makeup scene is just so good - these two could flirt anywhere! And yesssss, the connections of loving someone enough to pose as them (or knowing them enough) was so well done! Ye BaiYi is seriously here with the Yoda vibes! His nonchalance is SOMETHING ELSE. Also, he’s a man that just goes right into action - and attracts WKX to the rescue! Yu Qiufeng and Liu Qianqiao was so entrancing! I was LIVING FOR THEM. The RAIN - of course it’s raining! I feel it makes perfect sense of how it’s connecting the Tragicomic Ghost to her through her being cast out by Qiufeng’s wife. That is interesting to hear about BL and censorship – the idea of silver butterflies covering kisses is DEFINITELY giving HOB! And I definitely agree that western dramas just get more “sexual” overtly on the screen, but that is interesting to know! Thank you for the comment and clarifying all of that!
