A Promessa Mais Longa (2023)

Another boring and lengthy Xian Xia drama even it has awesome actor.

I am dropping The Longest Promise with Xiao Zhan and Ren Min after 10 episodes. I don't like the Xian Xia genre; I have tried many times (TTEOTM, TJOCZ, etc.) and dropped all of them. It is not a genre that I am into.

Xiao Zhan is a good actor, but to pair him up with an FL who is not as high caliber as him is a waste of his talents. I can't stand the dubbing voice of the FL character either because it was the same dubbing voice for other FL actresses that I ended up dropping all of those Xian Xia dramas.

The special effect is good, but to see the heavenly realm and monster in a fantasy setting is not my thing. The pace of the drama is also too slow that it did not lure me in. I don't want to waste my time since it is 40 episodes long.

I give it a 5.0 rating because of the bad acting on the FL, which is too slow, boring, and long.

I am rooting for Xiao Zhan and Zhao Lusi in a historical or contemporary drama together. They are both good actors.

Longest promise " literally "

YGY is funally here!!! im so happy.😍😍🥰🥰🥰
i cant even remember when was the last time since i've watched a drama with Great CGI and good visuals ( magestic costumes and beautiful scenic building clusters etc.)
the plot of the drama is catchy and i can't wait for the next episodes.
the actors are also very professional i can't find the words to describe my feelings towards xiao zhan, his acting is non comparable, he's got more and more profound understanding of each character he plays, such a great person ❤
overall, the waiting all this time hasn't been wasted and im very satisfied.

Cada episódio é um show de confusão.

Bom, eu sou uma amante desse tipo de drama e já assisti dezenas de dramas desse gênero.
Eu geralmente consigo esperar três, quatro, até dez episódios até o drama ficar bom, mas esse daqui é impossível. Logo nos primeiros episódios é impossível realmente entender o que está acontecendo, e então você pensa, no próximo episódio irão explicar, e não, não explicam. Não explicam nada o drama inteiro, você praticamente tem que decorar maioria dos cargos, tribos e princesas e príncipes desde o começo, e tem uma baixa porcentagem deles voltarem a ser citados, afinal, depois de cinco episódios maioria dos personagens e tribos citados no primeiro episódio, nem sequer aparecem nos episódios seguintes.

Eu não ligo muito para a personalidade das protagonistas, não me importo se são avoadas, fofas, fortes, burras ou dependente, mas essa protagonista é sem noção mesmo. Logo nos primeiros episódios uma das amigas dela tem um vestido lindo e a irmã mais velha dessa amiga quer vestir, mas a protagonista faz uma picuinha para ela não vestir e diz que ninguém além da amiga dela deve vestir. E então, essa irmã joga o vestido em um penhasco; Depois de mais ou menos 9 episódios de enrolação, a protagonista resgata o vestido e o usa. Ou seja, desde o início ela podia resgatar o vestido, e todo aquele discurso não serviu de nada.

O Xiao Zhan desde o início foi um bom ator, mas o personagem dele é um personagem além de entediante, é confuso.

É isso, o drama é muito bem feito, com efeitos incríveis, mas a história deixa e muito a desejar.

The acting is not bad. But every episode Yan was crying was so annoying. there is way too much screen time of the support character, it kinda feels like I am watching multiple dramas at once. and Zhan and Min are the third lead couple (they just happen to be a part of the plot) I am honestly skipping the support role screen and going to Zhan and Min. It's not a bad show it is just wayyyyyyyyyyy too much of the second and third-lead couples

The romance it so SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.. omg I swear for like 12 episodes he was trying to tell her he liked her.

what saves this drama is the acting and the theme song.

Love the main ML, disappointing FL!!

I don’t usually write reviews… but omg I’m so disappointed in the casting for the female FL :/

I have been looking forward to this costume drama since it was announced and with all the delay in airing… I was so happy to finally be able to see as I enjoy a good costume drama especially with actor Xiao Zhan, he is not only a good actor, his role is clearly depicted in his acting. On the other hand we have the main FL I dunno what they were thinking but acting skills is on a total different level - she acts like a B-rated actress, like i those cheesy dramas. I just find her acting annoying, it doesn’t flow, sounds more like a spoiled brat in her lines.

I will watch further to see if her acting improves but I’m not crossing my fingers….uuugh

DILEMMA WITH XIAO ZHAN (HE IS TOO BEAUTIFUL)

Alright before everyone slap me with vicious comment, I think Xiao Zhan is way too handsome for any female actresses to become his compatible co-star. That's it, but at least the production team should have choose a skill actress as a FL rather than this one. As banished Royal Prince Shi Ying, Xiao Zhan was immaculate, dignified, serene, preserved, a perfect gentleman for a prince. Cultivated in seclusion, once solely focused on his tasks, he develops romantic feelings for his disciple Zhu Yan but their student/teacher relationship prevents either from expressing their true feelings. The thing is Ren Min not up to the task, with a big nose and raspy bangs she wasn't a typical female that would melt an outstanding prince's heart to have a happily ever after. She's okey when doing modern drama but poorly not this. I might be over estimated Shi Ying a reclusive young handsome prince might not be down to any girl but he's fallen to the silliest girl. Someone that wearing her heart (on her sleeve) is more suitable actress to partner with Xiao Zhan's beautiful romantic feature. I can't think anyone better suitable as his co-star. I do think they miscast the FL, her acting was average, her character (& voice) was annoying, the plots weren't new. OR if it wasn't Xiao Zhan, Ren Min might have a better luck with this drama, IDK.

Of course, I dropped this drama soon after realize that this duo didn't bring emotional drive that they intended to, it's mismatch casting. Ep 1-8 wasn't interesting, I think I gave them enough chance. I also find Xian Xia genre doesn't catch my attention. All that flashes, magic, and all the stint, it loses integrity of acting skill and creativity, it's all about digital works. The concept of story line is overly used. Xiao Zhan should do better in choosing script.

Visual feast

Beautiful to watch! The attention to detail in the costumes, sets, props and cinematography makes for an exquisite visual experience. Superbly shot scenes such as flower bridge, dance, sword play, bird flight, magic and xianxia are feasts for the eyes. Excellent acting . Xiao Zhan as Shi Ying and Ren Min as Zhu Yan plus fine job by other cast, especially Li Ming De as Chongming, Fang Yilun as Zhi Yuan and Wang Zi Qi as Qing Gang.

Cold and aloof priest Shi Ying lived an isolated life on JuiYi mountain until bubbly princess Zhu Yan intruded into his solitary life. I'm loving everything about this drama and look forward to how the fateful love story unfolds. Have already rewatched every episode on Tencent WeTV and will rewatch again on Netflix.

Synopsis from Tencent app:
The series tells the story of the lonely and indifferent Kongsang prince Shiying and the passionate and righteous princess Zhu Yan of the Chi nationality who form a long-term relationship, stay together and overcome difficulties together. The story of the play takes place in a fantasy continent called "Yunhuang" … a fantasy mountain scene with grand architectural scale and profound Zen for the audience. As the narrative unfolds, the emotional line and the career line run parallel. Not only there is a romantic story of fateful love, but also elements such as family and country righteousness and inspirational growth run through it, explaining the righteous mission of the main characters to protect the common people and set their hearts for all things.
