Ice Fantasy Episode 28

So it's kind of a hot mess.

If you really think about it there are soooo many plot lines up in the air here. It's kind of a hot mess.

So Shi is trying to fufill Ka Sou's dream of not being king and being free. Li Lou believes that she is on a mission to find a way to make Ka Sou immortal and restore him as king. The King of the Ice Tribe has sent Li Lou on said mission, all while trying to make sure that Ka Sou can become king to marry the Mermaid Princess and get his powers and immortality back. However, Shi can't be the King of Ice because no prophecy was revealed for him and the "7 cube guys" believe this spells evil. Because while trying to reveal the prophecy one guy was killed and everyone else kept getting injured. No one but Lotus actually knows who the real father of Shi is. Oh, and now Ka Sou has to win and become king because Shi will be killed if he wins.

While the fire Prince is still captive and is he still teaching Shi fire magic? Can Shi use fire magic to teach him his Ice Fire Tribe powers? (Yeah, am totally convinced that's what it is. The floating cloud of suffocation and doom is totally his daddy! Or has something to do with his daddy.) What is up with the Fire Princess?

Not to mention that while Ka Sou and Li Lou are pining away they're making plot room for the Mermiad Princess to win Ka Sou's heart. Come on she kicked butt! She sacrifice apparently her greatest power, and very important thing to mermaids apparently, to help him. All while last episode had no Li Lou and this episode had only a brief blip to develop her story. So this banished guy must have loved a human and did something trying to make her immortal to get cast out of the Ice Tribe. Sooooooooo both Ka Sou and Li Lou could become immortal together? *queue raised eyebrow*

Actually this could all very easily turn into a hot mess. I'm just impressed that the writers decided to weave such a tangled web!! I'm impressed and worried. Again I love that this isn't just a forbidden romance between Li Lou and Ka Sou, but a tragic tale of brothers who love each other. Personally Shi and Ka Sou should tell everyone to *bleep* off and run away together. Then where would they find their King?

On that note I was very happy that the Mermaid Princess won the match! Though I was not happy that she threw it all away and was happy for "scraps". Please let her character grow. While I figured the final match would go that way and that Ka Sou and Shi would end up having to face each other anyway, I'm happy. Sorry, the mean part of me wants to see that fight!

I also like how we've got to see the other Tribes bond and that they're friends enough to get over the fight/sides that the chose.
