Some people here are getting so annoying. Critique the drama however you want but stop insulting the fl's looks. That's not constructive criticism. That's y'all being bullies. Admins, I hope you start deleting those type of comments.
I'm glad the script writer made Shi Ying's kindness and morals the reason why he didn't kill Zhu Yan when he found out she was his calamity. In the novel it was completely romance focused which I find too immature for my liking. It's a nice change to the story.
Also, his master is giving Professor Snape vibes. I don't think he's bad but his method of pure revenge is not good. He wanted Shi Ying to go insane with rage. That was against his mother's wishes and against his nature. He's noble and kind and I'm glad Chong Ming and Zhu Yan were there to help him.
Also, I wonder when she'll find out he's the Crown Prince. Oh the angst THAT will bring!
I saw this comment on Douyin from a passerby and it cracked me up. They said: "The hero is too handsome to the point of affecting the drama. Had to watch it 3 times to know what he was talking about." Loll
Spoilers in this behind the scenes clip. I love that Xiao Zhan always gives input in all his scenes. He's so good at understanding his character and his actions and providing some great input that may result in better changes for the script. He's extremely talented. Maybe one day we'll see him behind the camera as a writer and director. He has the talent for it. https://twitter.com/xiaozhan_tv/status/1675757515760451584?s=20
I really don't get the critique of Ren Min. I think she's doing a great job as Zhu Yan. She's still a teenager. She's acting like a teenager. I think some of the critiques I'm seeing are really unnecessary. Also critiquing her looks to such a vicious extent? Please get over yourselves. Let's focus on the plot more please.
Tencent doing absolutely nothing to promote the drama. So glad the word of mouth is so good that it's breaking records even with useless Tencent. Like I get it. It's Xiao Zhan and his name alone brings views and they'd rather save money to promote other dramas that need it. But it's still frustrating. Anyway, I expect it to break heat index 30000 soon.
That fight scene Shi Ying had was sooo good. Xiao Zhan did all those stunts himself. His physicality is incredible. He looked so HOT. I know this is a little off topic but seeing him like that reminded me of LOCH. I can't wait to see what he brings for The Legend of the Condor Heroes as Guo Jing. I heard Tsui Hark is having him do all the stunts with no doubles that's why he trained so long. We're in for a feast!
They added so much rich depth to Shi Ying, which was lacking in the books. I'm so happy with the script writer. I love the pacing of the drama and that there's no ridiculous plot devices like there usually are for this type of genre. The chemistry between Shi Ying and Zhu Yan is perfect. And in the previews, it looks like it will be heating up.
Only Xiao Zhan can have his drama air drop & YET break & set records on the same day! The Longest Promise got a bao #1 hot search on Weibo & became the fastest Tencent drama to reach 23000, 24000, 25000, 26000, & 27000 heat index in the span of a FEW hours. And on top of that the drama super topic also exploded and had many high trending topics on Douyin. All with little to no promo. It's funny how every drama does so much promo days in advance with the leads updating every social media account, attending variety shows, and selling cp. And here we have Xiao Zhan making one Weibo post. Xiao Zhan let’s his work speak for itself. The KING for a reason!
Taking all the positive comments with a grain of salt as I am sure it’s influenced by XZ over zealous fans.…
It has received universal critical acclaim across all media and drama critics so I guess us "over zealous" fans have great taste. I'm sure y'all enjoy it.
XZ is so damn hot without bangs he has a perfect forehead I don't understand why so many dramas use bangs on him…
I prefer him without bangs too. But he's handsome either way. He just gets 100x hotter with his hair pushed back. The bangs were a great addition though because they made XCS look like a teenager.
