SINOTHEATER
We just finished watching #TheLongestPromise with #XiaoZhan with a group
#XiaoZhan #TheLongestPromise
He is so stunning

An important thing to know about #TheLongestPromise is that there is a scene towards the end where #XiaoZhan's character is in a hot spring.

The female lead is pretending to be his maidservant and is trying to help him bathe.

He's lost his memory and doesn't know who she is, but he figures out pretty quickly that she doesn't know anything about being a maidservant.

He's wearing an undershirt to preserve his modesty, but is otherwise scandalously underdressed. 1/2

I'm still watching #TheLongestPromise. Up to episode 34 and right now it feels like I'm enduring it rather than enjoying it.

I get so aggravated when good people do dumb things because they don't have all the information they need.

I'm up to the part of #TheLongestPromise where everything seems to be going swimmingly.

Shi Ying & Zhi Yuan have brokered a truce between the Kongsang & the Merfolk, everyone seems to be going along with it, Zhu Yan told the emperor off and got away with only an awkward public spanking while she cried and smiled at Shi Ying ...

I should just stop watching at this point and let myself believe that they all lived happily ever after.

Throughout the story, chi yuan and *especially* shi ying have treated zhu yan like absolute shit. They never tell her what’s going on and what their plans are, they don’t respect her, they don’t trust her judgment, they dismiss her again and again while claiming to love her and to be acting in her best interest. Girl, if that’s the kind of love that’s on offer, you’re better off without. #TheLongestPromise
So I’m on ep 35 of #TheLongestPromise now, and currently I’m a bit angry. I have no illusions that shi ying is gonna stay dead, but for the moment he is, and so is chi yuan. And in the end shi ying is prolly gonna get the girl. So the narrative is just another iteration of “men have more important things to consider than women’s petty and shortsighted desire to *keep their loved ones alive”. It’s driving me insane!

I already thought the Chief Sorceror was a total hottie.

But then he died, and the demonic powers brought him back, and all his clothes above the waist were blasted off by the force of it.

And WOW is he thick and delightful.

Why weren't his pants blasted off too? Cowards!

#TheLongestPromise

I’m enjoying #TheLongestPromise despite it being a bit reactionary, and the gender politics aren’t great, let’s face it. But, whisper it, he’s *too old* to play the character he’s playing. I keep having to remind myself the guy is, like, 20, which explains a lot of his idiotic behaviour, while my brain keeps insisting “that’s a 30 year old man.” Also the age gap between the couple! It doesn’t bode well for when he’ll play guo jing…
