Promise in the Summer (2023) is a fantastic youth romance drama. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. The drama doesn’t have the passionate kind of romance but the one that develops subtlety and grows with every interaction. The leading couple, Ma Hao Dong as Han Qi Lu and Liu Nian as An Chu Xia, is fun to watch and there are plenty of fluttering moments that keep the drama going in a very wonderful way. The secondary couple, An Chen Chuan (played by Jian Ze Zheng) and Mo Xin Wei (played by Huang Yun Yun) did a great job also in bringing about their really nice relationship. Although there are some minor issues against the leading couple, everything is resolved appropriately and Han Qi Lu is resolute in keeping An Chu Xia by his side. This drama is well written and the parents, especially the mothers, are a delight. Overall, this drama is adorable and entertaining.
