I immensely enjoy The Longest Promise. What I like is its fairy-tale flavor, the combination of serious scenes with some tongue-in-cheek moments. And indeed Xiao Zhan as Shi Ying is so appealing that I could spend the whole day watching him meditating. The Longest Promis is visually pleasing and the visual effects fit the style of the drama. The story is told in an interesting way and I don't feel I miss anything because I haven't read the book on which the drama is based. Viewers should remember that The Longest Promise is a kind of drama that puts emphasis on heartbreak and suffering and the story leads to the circumstances that bring distress and agony. The Longest Promise is a tale full of magic and pain and I recommend it strongly to every XiaoZhan fan.
