The Longest Promise (2023– )
6/10
It has some good moments but it all goes to waste.

First at all, what a waste of good actors. Xiao Zhan smiles so little here, it's almost a crime. All that charming "The untamed" magic and chemistry can hardly be seeing here... I was hoping for a more lighter personality development at some point, but no. What they do well is the female character development, specially with Wang Churan's character. The plot is nothing new, and it starts to get on your nerves. It's a consecutive description of impossible tasks that are solved in the next 30 seconds or less. I mean, whats the point of it at the end? They waste the fictional genre by feeding these nonsensical motives followed by a need to justify the love bound. Not one of the bests, for sure. At the end, you can't help to compare it with "till the end of the moon", where the character development is so spectacular, that the fictional takes stays on a second place. You want to follow the characters' fate more than the awesome display of visual effects. Here is a waste of great good looking acting. Hope they take in consideration when planning another project. This is becoming quite repetitive and frankly, not worth the watch.
