A great sample of incorrect casting.
Entire production is beyond expectations for this series. Beautiful sceneries, exceptional attention to detail is evident, CGI is decent, and wardrobe used was beautiful and fitted the scenes. Props were right for the scenes and quite imaginary for some of them.
The story plot is good, stable, and smooth, transitioning flawlessly. The start to me can be better than the way they introduced the story.
There was anticipation for another costume series for Xiao Zhan so many followers of The Untamed looked forward to The Longest Promise. This was filmed in 2021. I watched this on Tencent app.
XZ as expected did well in his role as Shi Ying by showing his versatility in acting. He effectively used appropriate facial expression to enhance each and every scenes he was on. Although I have to admit that he didn't look like a young teenager that the role calls for.
In this series, Ren Min played the female lead Zhu Yan. I find her portrayal of the character exaggerated and a bit forced. She did good as Princess Hui Rou in Serenade of Peaceful Joy where most probably know her. I will be bold to fault the screenwriter and director on this for their goal of portraying a cute, independent and brave young lady translated on the screen as a loud, arrogant, obnoxious, know it all, little girl that made me not want to hear her talk anymore; the start of my contemplation to drop the series.
Each artist is beautiful in different way but Wang Chu Ran ended up looking way better than her in looks and acting in this series. It is difficult not to notice the difference while watching them on screen. It felt like, she didn't fit in this series at all. There is no flexibility in Ren Min's beauty. She stayed looking cute & young little girl that even after the scenes transitioning to adulthood, she still looked cute and a girl. She wasnt able to transition her looks to a mature lady.
I cringed and fast forward on romantic scenes of her and XZ. It is like a little young girl flirting with an adult man.
Even with this though, I thought I will finish the series but it became a struggle for me to continue and decided to be honest with myself and drop it if i am not enjoying it.
Have the FL been casted with an artists that fits the character well, this series I believe would have had a much higher rating.
