I've rewatched this on both youku and youtube...

TBH I didn't have much expectations for any Live Action adaptation ...but since I had some time to spare one day, I decided to casually watch this series on youtube. A few episodes later, I'm subscribed to youku and spent (a decent amount of) money unlocking the super advance episodes and even the 7 minute long extra (which consists of 3minutes+ music video collage). The thing that draws me in is the acting and fight choreography. It has been a very very long while since I last watch any wuxia, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to fight scenes (growing up with the genre...and all)
Word of Honor actually has pretty good fight scenes with good pacing. The chemistry between characters are good, like you can tell that both main characters have some background in acting (and upon some searches, I was right)
All in all, for a show that made me obsessed to the point of whining every time I have to wait (cuz I will unlock 3 episodes in advance, and the next update would be three days later T__T I had to find BTS / put OST on loop, read the original novel, listen to AD...etc just to pass time) even though there are definitely some visual issues and plot issues...but for that budget, I would say I'm very impressed. Hence the rating~
