Whoever edited this episode did a really crappy job. The whole cut away scenes with the ice nucleus where really awkward!
Oh, and is it really only nine Princes can protect the fire whatever thing? Or have they ever tried with a female before? Judging from what her brother says and that the Fire Princess is the only female around I wonder. (I've also wondered about the bear tribe! They mentioned their sisters, but they never actually had any.)
Oh, and I don't care for Lotus at all. Any amount of pity that I had before is totally killed. She didn't warn those "teens". She killed them in cold blood for that blood!! Holy cow, she's wicked. She deserves whatever is coming to her. I can only hope that she doesn't take down Shi with her.
Overall the games the King of Ice is playing to make sure Ka Suo wins is interesting. Having the other Immortal Leaders choose sides is interesting. At first I would have said they'd all choose Ka Suo, but I felt like a number of them supported Li Luo.
Oh, and I love that Luna is in this more. I really want to have more Luna time. now that she's Ka Suo's body guard I hope that happens.
Let's up there's better editing the next episode.

One can't help but feel for Lotus. Not only did Flame abuse her, but the Ice King cruelly wanted to use her as well. However, I don't think Flame is Shi's father. They made a point of showing us that Shi's power mimicked Ice Fire Tribe powers. That whole scene with Xing Gui!!!
It's not only that I don't want the Fire Princess and Shi to not be related--my ship has sailed on that and it must happen. The idea that the Ice Fire Tribe is a foe to both Ice Tribe and Fire Tribe! This guy has no problem with taking them out. Not to mention that apparently he killed all the children of the Ice Tribe, not just that one Fire Prince. Oh, and he's currently imprisoned another.
The Ice Tribe and the Fire Tribe uniting would be an epic plot!
So the big thing is Ka Suo and Li Luo's first kiss(es)!! How wonderful. At first I thought Ka Suo was just having another damsel moment. You know tripping so Li Luo could save him again. However, Ka Suo was clever! Though I think the tumble was long and maybe painful. I saw Li Luo's face, I think the actress slipped and thought how long do I have to keep doing this!? I hope they only had to do it in one take!!
Their romantic scenes were very stunning and I took a lot of screenshots. This episode was a great! Shi and Lotus finally confront each other, though I find it hard to believe that Lotus truly loves Shi like Ka Suo does. She is using her son as a play for power and revenge. -_-
Not to mention the Ice King telling Li Luo that he's sending her on a secret mission! Having a backup plan to restore Ka Suo's immortal powers would be good. However, I feel like the King of Ice is deceiving Li Luo.
At least Li Luo got an epic send off from all the other Immortal leaders and then got to have some romantic times with Ka Suo.
Overall a great episode! Things are really moving. At least they're slowly revealing things to us, even if not all at once. I was annoyed that Ka Suo confessed that becoming mortal was an answer from the gods, but Li Luo is still determined to cure him. I feel like everyone needs to pause and talk it out. Though I do feel bad that the Ice King has no one who want to be his heir!

Now. What was with that flashback! It was the scene we had just seen! I hope this isn't a foreshadowing that the writers are going to lose their mojo because of the extension Ice Fantasy kept getting.
That said this was even slower then before plotting wise. It is still slowly building up to the greater picture. Finally the black smoke guy is revealed, kind of.
Ice Flame tribe? That's cool. Now for the full backstory please.
It was interesting seeing Ka Suo become a damsel when he slipped!! Ha-ha! What happened to all his fighting talents and what not? Though it did me proud to see Li Lou gallantly "save" him. Not to mention why the sword fairies were suddenly quiet this episode.
Lotus was with an Ice Flame member, so now I'm really wondering what her history with Flame is?
Overall a very visually pleasing episode, plot wise a bit slow. I'm annoyed with how everyone has plans for Ka Sou and no one will let him decide what he wants. I get that the higher ups think Shi will bring about some scary prophecy . . . but I'm an Ka Suo and Shi's side. There's no way my Shi could ever be evil! Ka Suo raised him better. ^_-

I was really disappointed by how the rest of the cast has just been tossed aside. At least when other shows decide that they're boring plot trope is going to take over that they will still progress some of the other characters.
I just feel like any other characters are just after thoughts. What a waste.
I did like seeing what one good flashback brought to us! Seo Woo's remembrance of friendship and how they were. I really want a reconciliation with Seo Woo, Hye Jung, and Soon Hee!
Ji Hong's flashback to his Uncle felt so out of place. And at this point with the end coming in seems a little too late.
Some of the passion between Hye Jung and Ji Hong was brought back in that cliffhanger kiss! However, what she should be upset with is that he lied to her when she asked him point blank what had happened, and why he was doing what he did. He lied to her. As she said they need to be a united front. If they work together they can protect one another!
Just two more episodes. Just two more episodes. Just two . . .

I enjoyed the message that wasting precious moments obsessing about revenge and other negative emotions is kind of crazy. Ji Hong realizes that you could day at any time, so why not enjoy the live you're living now.
For the rest of it the episode it was pretty dull. In fact boring. I hate draggy plots like this. I love Kang Soo, but the whole ordeal was so dull I didn't have much emotion for him. I feel like these kinds of plots are an easy escape. Where they're cashing in on the fact that you have to have an emotional reaction to it. -_-
Either way the things that shouldn't be dragged out are. Hye Jung's whole face off with Myung Hoon was dull, and the scene with the lawyer. It was odd that she would assume that a guy like that, who covered up his misdeeds and would tell a grieving child off like that, would ever sincerely apologize. Or Keep his word.
Why is the writer concentrating on these lame tropes/plots. Oh, well. Things will have to wrap up soon.

That's the problem. There's still some great moments sprinkled into what I like to call the scape plot. Even flashbacking a whole scene about the bride and groom. The writers taking the easy way out and this drama is phoning it in. I felt bad that I only felt exasperated about Kang Soo then worried.
It's all become over done. At least maybe Seo Woo has a chance to stand in and say she dropped the ball. She knows she's become a pitiful person. Let's see if she decides to change.

There are great character moments in this episode. I love a series where characters help each other and they grow.
Sadly I think the reality is that the writer had a start for the drama, but sadly had too many ideas and characters to take the story. Basically meaning things are slowing down and 20 episodes was too much.
Right now I feel like the writer is relying on over drawn emotional plots to keep the drama feeling fresh.
Either way this drama is becoming boring and many aspects that made it great are going away. Doctors is becoming stale. At this point I want to see how it ends, but it's a shame that such an amazing start will finish weak.

Intimacy is good though. I like that they snuggled the night away.
This episode was awesome sauce. Gary and Amy look to not be having any more real romance time, but I like where their stories went. Not to mention that Dal Nim and Ryang Ha are developing nicely!! Ah! Too cute.
However, that dang corporate espionage crap had to take over. They already did that at the start. Why they decided to forsake viewers by plunging us into what will potentially be a very boring plot. Not to mention the biggest plot whole is a company like Zeze would not have crappy security like that, especially after the big leak that started this whole thing.
On that note I do love that Bo Ra's recovering is very realistic. I feel like the shaman's warning about the raccoon will be another mistake. After they make viewers and the lovebirds suffer. -_- When will they realize that it's the characters that are making the show, they don't need these over the top forced plots to make the story interesting.

HOWEVER. I want to punch the director for making the leads "tssssk" too much! It was really cute and funny at first. Over use made it annoying.
I love how the employees at Zeze pretended to not know they were dating. The office pool was great. Not to mention that Ryang Ha and Dal Nim are slowly approaching their inevitable hook up.
The quiet drama of Su Ho's parents is nice. At least it's not taking over the plot. However, this "electrician" lurker is obviously the next step towards the big disaster. Clearly he'll get in still the IF and then Bo Nui will be at fault. Because Dae Hae will have been the pity hire that Su Ho did for her.
*sighs* Freaking annoying. However, I won't quite cast judgement until it unfolds.
Either way this episode was sooooooo cute. It's so satisfying be able to have the leads both admit their feelings so that we can witness warm and heart felt moments while they're actually dating.
Poor Gary and Amy, I'm not sure if there will be enough time for them to get decent happy endings. Who knows! Either way this is promising to be a pretty strong series until the end.

Su Ho is hands down my favorite thing about this drama and episode. Could he be any more adorable? If he gets more adorable my brain will probably overload and explode! Ryu Joon Yeol is such a cute actor and I really look forward to seeing him in other dramas. In this I just feel for Su Ho so much. His innocence and awkwardness are perfect.
Ryang Ha and Dal Nim may not have had as much time in this episode, but they're my second favorite thing about this episode. (And again probably the drama.) I feel that makeover coming on for Dal Nim. Go, fight! Win!
Bo Nui has entered the annoyance zone for me. I just don't understand why she's pushing Su Ho away. Yes, it is the custom drama thing to do. However, isn't he her good luck charm? And yes when they kissed Bo Ra opened her eyes! Why doesn't she just ask the Shaman point blank if she has doubts? If this goes on for much longer it will be beyond annoying!!
The family drama of Su Ho's parents is interesting enough. Though I hope it's not dragged out for too much longer.
With Bo Ra gradually coming back to the world I'm very curious whether the drama will stay happy, or do something tragic. I vote for happy. Happy dramas are hard to come by. Personally I'm looking forward to more Su Ho and that makeover for Dal Nim.

So they drag in this huge plot garbage that Hong Do killed Yi Seok's brother . . . when of course it was someone else. Do you know who?
Ugh. That makes the pain of the mother even worse. No wonder she would cry like that every time she gave into her husband. Gosh!

No to where this drama is going. To blame a child like that is disgusting. Clearly she's been paying for a mistake her entire life. The whole Go family really ticks me off. The whole episode was painful to watch in the breath of how frustrating the plot was, not to mention boring.
I should stop.
Doo Soo, my lovely Doo Soo. Looks like he'll probably save the day.

Not all of it. But this horrible "plot twist" has added that boring element to what had developed into a really fun drama.
I know I should drop it. But I'm only got 3 more episodes. *sighs* I've invested too much.

First off I will address that Ka Suo has been pretty awesome. Considering that he's lost his immortal powers. Not only is he powerless, but he will now only have the lifespan of a mortal. Some of the viewers have been super harsh on the poor boy. Which I find odd considering that the sword fairies are driving him insane. I think he's handled himself remarkably well. He deserves this time to flounder a bit.
So confirmation that Lotus is indeed a mermaid. It's strange that soooooo many people questioned it. Lotus is basically Lan Shang's (AKA Mermaid Princess depending we're you're watching the subs from) Aunt. Lotus is the younger sister.
Lotus states: Lan Shang is my older sister's daughter.
I still firmly believe that the evil cloud of smoke is a Fire Prince of some kind. That Lotus and him were an item. However, the flashbacks prove that she was in love at some point with the Fire King. Clearly there's something odd there. I want to believe that Shi is the Snow King's son. I mean how else could he get his Ice Powers? Unless the mermaid powers transform to their spouses? Is this another unheard of legend to be revealed?
Either way I think Shi would make an excellent King. Man can he play the politics game. Not to mention that he did orchestrate a better plan to defeat the Fire Tribe. No offense to Ka Suo, but his plan got him stripped of his immortal powers.
Ooooooooo, the Fire Princess totally wants Shi still! (I hope they're not related.) I think it's so sweet--and creepy--that she's planning to take him down by finding out his weakness. Then turns around and is basically magical diary/video/memory pining over him. Like a two year old. Well a two year old with fire powers.
Overall I am really digging all the twists and turns. The occasional odd graphic doesn't bother me, and the huge green screen stuff is either getting better or I'm getting used to it. This was a slower episode. However, I think Ice Fantasy is still very engaging and the writers are truly trying to take this ambitious plot to it's full potential. Can't wait to see what happens next. Especially with more word on the Mermaid Tear thing.
