Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 84 /100

The Longest Promise received a warm reception from fans of the xianxia genre, who frequently praised its picturesque visual aesthetic, evocative soundtrack, and strong acting performances. Many reviewers cited lead actor Xiao Zhan's performance as a highlight, describing the series as a standout high-fantasy release for 2023 that delivers the emotional angst, devotion, and dramatic stakes central to the genre.

Despite its popularity and visual appeal, the series faced notable criticism regarding its narrative execution. Some reviewers found the romantic conflict frustrating due to an overreliance on miscommunication between the primary teacher and disciple leads. Other critics pointed to an overstuffed plot filled with competing subplots, political factions, and sprawling magical lore, which led some viewers to lose interest early in the season.

“The Longest Promise is truly the biggest surprise amongst Xianxia dramas to come out in recent years.”

“The Longest Promise is the best for me for 2023.”

“a great drama full of love, devotion and bitterness of fate”

“unfortunately, this will be a pass for me after 6 episodes.”
