The Chinese “bromance” TV series, Word of Honor 山河令, which is currently being broadcast to the world on YouTube, is based on the BL novel, 天涯客 (Tianya Ke or Faraway Wanderers), written by an online novelist by the name of Priest. The TV series has been very well received, even getting a 8.6/10 ratings at Douban, and of course most of the BL fans would remember another TV series from 2018, Guardian 鎮魂 which was also based on a BL novel written by the same novelist. Therefore I thought maybe there are many viewers out there who would be interested in knowing some of the other BL novels written by this author.

Word Of Honor (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《山河令》主題曲片尾曲插曲
2021 has been dubbed as the year of 耽改101, translated literally as “BL Adaptation 101”, in China due to a larger number than previous years of Chinese bromance TV series adapted from BL novels. The first-cab-off-the-rank Chinese BL adapted TV series for the year went online very unexpectedly without much ado on February 22, 2021. The trailer of the 36-episode webdrama, Word of Honor 山河令, premiered that afternoon with the announcement that the series would premiere that evening at 1800 hour online!

The Light in the Night (Audio Drama Theme Songs) 廣播劇《默讀》主題曲
A few days ago, news came through that another Chinese BL novel by Priest (the same author who wrote “Guardian 鎮魂“) is being made into a 35-episode TV series, Light the Darkness (tentative English title), for 2021. The novel is Modu 默讀, and has been translated into English as The Light in the Night (original Chinese novel published from June 2016 until January 2017), but expect the TV series to be bromance and not BL since it is being made in China. Shooting of the series is scheduled to begin in February, 2021.

I am currently about halfway through watching this TV series from 2018, so far it has been quite enjoyable but there are some lazy plotlines that are really frustrating to watch, LOL… However the soundtrack is very good, so I’m sharing them here.
