Beautiful drama

How I start,first I start watch this because of xiao zhan,in first episode xiao zhan oly appear few minitues but I already addict to drama,this drama plot is soo good and I want to talk about renmin she is very beautiful she have cute look some pepole like to brainwash others saying she is not beauty but when you watching drama you understand she have very suitable look for drama,theiir chemistry develope is very strong,first they only have master student relationship so we don't get romantic feeling but when one by one epi we clearly understand how their chemistry build,I love it I saw lot of viewers first have negative review chage their mind like me ,both main couple are such a excellent actors and side character also best

Greatest Xianxia production

Love everything about this drama! Magnificent production, interesting storyline, good acting, beautiful OST and spectacular visual. Not to mention that Xiao Zhan is great as Shi Ying in this drama. I don't usually watch Chinese Xianxia drama but I am totally into this one now. Worth watching over and over again!

At the beginning, I was kind of questioning whether the young female lead was able to match up to Xiao Zhan, but after 20 episodes, with great storytelling and the help of Xiao Zhan's acting, I started to enjoy to see how their relationship developed.

Worth rewatching

Another memorable performance from Xiao Zhan since his breakout drama The Untamed. Xiao Zhan is not disappointing. The story is melancholy beautiful. Xiao Zhan exudes the aura of the hero as a stoic and highly disciplined priest. This is the only C fantasy drama I've never fast forwarded one single scene since The Untamed. In the meanwhile I watched numerous C fantasy dramas but dropped them all with unsatisfactory watching experience. I'm currently rewatching The Longest Promise and still found many details of the storyline refreshing. The production values are pretty good compared with other C dramas in the same Xianxia genre. It's aesthetically pleasing with great CGI, beautiful setting, and beautiful costumes. Very decent acting from all the cast with great script writing and directing. Overall, it's a drama I enjoyed a lot. I think I can rewatch the drama many times.

TheLongestPromise

The drama is good I can't wait the other episode to watch at first I don't like the female lead but after watching some episode she's perfect for the character other said that she's not beautiful and fit being the female lead of ziao zan but I think she's good she better portrayed the character, xiaozan acting is always on point

Interesting plot with beautiful CGI

The CGI and scenery are fantastic and the plot is different from novel and somehow interesting.
The ML Shi Yin is great in both acting and visual.
The relationship between Shi Yin(ML) and Zhu Yan (FL) slowly change from stranger to master and pupil and finally to..lover(not yet but now they have feeling for each other).
Shi Yin's love for Zhu Yan is very delicate and worming (I love that kind of love, non-toxic )
SY spoils his little pupil Zhu Yan like a child at first but now his feeling gradually change but he still spoiling her.
For Zhu Yan, her master is the most handsome, great, powerful man in the world and she would like to stay with him together alone for lifetime (yet she didn't notice her feeling for master)
They sacrifice for each other
Save each other .

The history of the kingdom and royal families is also complicated and interesting.
Bai Xue Lu is the 2nd character I like after Shi Yin because she is determined and she do anything to get what she want.

Worth to watch if you're Xian Huan drama fan.

One of a kind

I was not into any Xianxia drama in the past, but the Longest Promise caught me by surprise. The main leads, the coherent story, the visual effects, and the special effects all surpass the ones in previous Xianxia dramas that I tried to finish watching but couldn't. It's one of a kind and deserves my highest recommendation.

The male lead Xiao Zhan is a bit of a distraction, in my opinion. He's so handsome and elegant that sometimes I focused too much on his character Shi Ying and lost track of the plots, so I had to rewatch some plots a second time to redirect my attention to the storyline per se. lol

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.

I've waited for this drama like forever and my Shi Ying did not disappoint me. So far so good and I'm in love with Bird Chong Ming 🥰😍 he's so cute and so full of himself 😅 I love Shi Ying character for standing up for himself against the high priest Da Si Ming and doing things his way unlike so many dramas they would go round round without knowing who's blocking them. That's a plus. The story and plot is interesting. Zhu Yan is doing a great job and her acting is good too. Whoever is complaining about her character should go and ask the director cuz she's doing what she was directed to do. I love her. I hope that Yuan will have the reincarnation of his beloved and not to start rivalry with Shi Ying but who is the director to let that not happen

Dumb Female Lead

Lucky I watched The Rise of Ning—otherwise, I probably would have banned all RenMin dramas!
The storyline was so-so, and the plot moved slowly.
The entire cast was good except RenMin—seriously, her acting was so lousy.
The female lead’s character was just too ridiculous as a princess.

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.

o melhor drama que assisti no último ano

A história é incrível e a construção dos personagens é bem feita, amei acompanhar a evolução da Zhu Yan e como ela se tornou forte no desenrolar da história.
Sua relação com Shi Ying se desenvolveu lindamente, demonstrando que o amor pode superar todas as dificuldades.
A relação com Zhi Yuan se mostrou bonita, mas nos mostrou que a obsessão é perigosa.
Nos capítulos finais fiquei angustiada com o desenrolar dos acontecimentos, e ainda vou demorar a superar, mas isso faz desse drama um excelente drama!

I hope they come out with a season 2

I don't usually watch movies i have to read, but this movie was not only addictive, but beautifully outstanding . The storyline,was awesome and creative not to mention the acting was so moving. And it is so refreashing to watch a movie that is so beautifully intimate. American movies are so sexualized. And lack depth. I dont mind reading movies anymore and i do hope and pray they do another season. I will definately watch this again, i think i may even see if i can buy it. I dont mind reading movies anymore when it has this much quality to it.
