It was interesting to see how Doctors would handle Ji Hong's father. Part of me really hoped that he wouldn't be killed off. He was a great character and there were so many opportunities to take with him and Ji Hong. Not to mention with Hye Jung.
Overall the passing of his father felt flat, especially since it was mainly to allow the "villains" to step up and take their evil plans forward.
What I do love is that all the characters are moving forward. I feel like the writers are trying to make Yoon Do and Seo Woo come together slowly. However, I am still very much for the idea of Soon Hee and Yoon Do coming together. What I really loved was that there seems to be a relationship between Yeong Kook and a nurse. Very interesting!
The plot with the woman and her assailant finally comes around. Though I wasn't pleased with how dumb Doctors made the cops and the hospital. There's no way the cops wouldn't have done a stake out. Or that the hospital would have removed her to a secure location. They wouldn't have just left her in the exact same room for her assailant to come back to.
It's interesting seeing Tae Ho, the Vice President and head of the neurosurgery department, react to the changes. I'm sill hoping that the hospital politics won't turn into the main focus.
Soo Chul hasn't appeared again and I'm wondering if he will pop up later on. I don't like it when characters get benched. Overall I think this was a solid episode and it's interesting seeing Hye Jung move forward with Ji Hong.

Well I think Mermaid Saint new all along that Shi would have to be King. After all Ka Suo now has no immortal powers.
However, isn't that what Ka Suo wanted? Freedom. It seems that now he's just a pretty mortal with white hair.
Now I know it looked liked Mermaid Princess. BUT that was Shi in the tub. Then the "sexy" bed play time. Guys. I'm still in shock.
The writers have truly stepped it up and I'm dying to know where the story will go. It's official at 62 episodes. So now we know everyone's' ties and have back stories and such.
More importantly some of the bigger questions are sill unanswered. The mysterious smoke guy, who is Shi's father? It has to be the ice king because he wouldn't get ice powers from a mermaid right? But he definitely used fire power to break out and then to cure Princess Mermaid.
Now that the Mermaid Princess and Shi have been through all that . . . how will things go?

The big showdown is coming and I have to give made props to the Mermaid Princess. Even the Mermaid Saint now respects her enough to choose a side.
But I really hope that the Mermaid Princess only had to make out with the king. Poor thing if he did more. If he did do more I want to give Shi a bit of a punch for being so insensitive.
Sword fairies! How cool. Isn't that smoke voice then the original sword fairy that has been playing games this whole time and setting things into motion?
Very curious.
Let's hope to get some answers! Oh, and I love that the other Guardians are back! How cool are they! (And kind of adorable.)

I'm starting to think that if you're a nice mortal who helps or is helped by an immortal you're doomed. Like bad luck.
Shi . . . is one deviously amazing guy! No really. I wish they would let us know if the Fire King is his father, like I originally thought. Or what!
Especially that smoky entity of the villainess laugh!
The actress playing the Mermaid Princess really out did herself this episode. Amazing! I love the plot between Shi and her. Not to mention that after the events I think Shi and her could actually become an item. Which would work if Kong Shi is the Princess of Fire's brother. Darn the writers! Tell me up front already!
The affects and actors are all on point this episode. Not to mention that I really want the healer to be real for Ka Suo to get his powers back!! Don't let it all be a ruse. There was some issues with clunky flashbacks with Ka Sou. However, Lotus's big reveal was very well done and I loved all the other aspects of this episode. Well done.

YOu would think the wise Mermaid Saint could see that her "pacifist ways" are simply constantly making her and her people victims. Oh, well.
Shi is really turning out to be quite the cunning person! I'm really rooting for him.
Though I wonder way Ka Sou has now lost his swordsmanship. So his magic made him a good fighter? Or is he simply too weak still?
Interesting. Well now he's the damsel in need of saving. Go writers.
Overall I'm looking forward to team Shi kicking some butt.

Yikes! That's a doozy of a set back. It might be a little more interesting if the Ice Tribe won more often. It's hard to believe they were the rulers of the Three Realms for so long.
So if I'm right Lotus is a mermaid for sure, as relations of the Mermaid Saint is pretty much her aunt. Shi has ice magic, which we can only assume he got from the Ice King. He was a late bloomer. However, if everyone who was accidently hit by fire magic gained some bit of fire magic wouldn't all of these people be absorbing it? Maybe it's his mermaid half?
I need to know! Dang it!
It's crazy I would assume everyone knows that Ka Suo has been defeated. Fire is still in control. Why would anyone believe those messages? AND if they are all allies why can't they all just team up and put fire in it's place?
*sighs* Common sense people!
This episode was a bit more boring as we yet again get to see King Fire of the evil villain laugh smack everyone down. Not to mention that now Ka Suo is basically a mortal. What was up with Shi though? When fire hits Ka Sou with fire magic he feels it? They can't keep us in the dark too long on that!
Here's to hoping Ka Suo heals. Though if he stays mortal Li Lou and Ka Suo have solved they're aging differences.

The Fire Princess wants Kong Shi's friendship, what a dark and scary ulterior motive!! Though in all seriousness I didn't expect the truth to be revealed between them. The flashbacks and parting scenes where very moving. (Finally the Princess cries quietly.)
I need to know Kong Shi's parenting!! Tell me!
Oh, and I adore that the Fairy Chief and Bear Chief are engaged! Not only that but clearly in love. Though I do feel bad for the Eagle Knight, he clearly likes the Fairy Chief. She is stunning and the makeup/wardrobe teams out did themselves outfit.
The Mermaid Princess's story is taking an interesting turn. I wonder if it will harden her, or make her stronger? Very interesting.
Loved the ending OST for this episode! I love how often the ending music is changed. I'm going to have to get the soundtrack.

This episode definitely focused more on the Fire Princess and Kong Shi's story. I ship them even harder now!! I love being able to like and dislike characters on all sides.
So Lotus hates the Fire King, but Kong Shi has both Ice and Fire magic. Does this mean that raping runs int he fire family? As the decesed Prince initially tried to rape the Mermaid Princess. But then if Lotus and the Fire King are his father . . . then how does Kong Shi have ice powers?
Not to mention that I wont be able to ship Kong Shi and the Fire Princess!!!! They will have to be friends.
Yeah!! This means the writing is really starting to step up a bit.
However, I did not like the fight between the Fire Princess and the "Future husband". I dislike it when warrior women are made to lose, stupidly at that, so that the men can step in and save them.

I really liked this episode! It had a little bit of everything. Finally the cast of characters are fleshing out and I love it!! AH!
I really thought I was going to be forever annoyed by the Mermaid Princess, but she's cute. You have to give her props for out smarting the guards.
I like how this episode finally confirmed that Lotus is a mermaid. Also that the voice is the big schemer. The voice that I'm pretty sure was talking when they tried to get the sword. So I assumed it was the sword. Is the sword trapping some being and he's trying to escape? I like to see this bigger picture unfold.
Not to mention that Ka Sou is now with the Spirit tribe figuring that out. While the Fire Prince and Princess are dealing with the Bear tribe. Very interesting turns.
I love how cunning and smart Kong Shi is!! Not to mention that devious look from the Mermaid Saint, I think she's not so neutral anymore. ^_-
(Hot spring scene anyone. Ka Suo was struck dumb!)

Mermaids. Fire Princes can't say no to mermaid princess. Though I wonder way the Mermaid Saint is such a fish. (Ha-ha.) Do they have no power? Because they're actions aren't really those of a pacifist, but of the weak!
Who knows maybe at the end they'll come out swinging and surprise us all.
Really I'm liking Ice Fantasy more and more. It's also fun seeing the Fire King create enemies. He's going to find himself friendless.
I really want the Fire Princess to turn to the good side and help over throw her father. Maybe then there will be a chance for her and Kong Shi.
Speaking off I think it's so cute that Kong Shi is so knowing about Ka Sou and Li Lou. Especially when Li Lou is trying to spare Ka Sou about his dream! Too cute!
Overall this show is growing on me. Soon my disappointment will evaporate and I'll just be a happy fan. Well kind. What can I say the harsh connoisseur of stories in me can't quite let all the faults go.

Normally dream plots tend to bore me. For some reason it always comes up in Fantasy and Science Fiction series. There's always an episode or two where dreams come into play. Usually about loss. Sometimes they can be moving. Other times just boring. Especially when the dream is on repeat.
Ice Fantasy did all of the "boring" things, but made it fun and fresh. So my hats off to the writers for that.
Not to mention that this episode picked up its game. That is in developing some of the cast. Namely Kong Shi and The Fire Princess. I'm not going to lie. I ship them together. Not to mention that I completed connected with Fire Princess. No, I don't condone her actions. However, we get to understand where she's coming from. Not to mention how curious I am about all of her bothers. 10! Well, 9 now. Or are there?
(I really hope they have the over the top Fire hair!!)
The ending for this episode was such a stunner! I just couldn't believe it. Is this episode hinting at better writing and plot? Gosh, I hope so.
(On a side note I love how much eye candy this show has. The costume department has done a stunning job. Not to mention hair and makeup. There's eye candy everywhere! Yeah!)
Kong Shi and Ka Sou keep having amazing chemistry together. I was right, the way the actors are playing the brotherly love is beyond a treat to watch. Not to mention all those secret nods!! Ha-ha!

The amount of crazy evil man laughter present in this episode was crazy! Which makes me firmly believe that cheesiness is the way the director and other such creative parties wanted to take this show. The rat guy had over the top evil villain laughter. Not only does the Fire King grace us with his evil laugh, but apparently the Chief of the Healer does too and he puts the Fire King in his place! No really that was over the top. Which of course I laughed my butt over.
The makeup for the tiger person and rat guy reminded me so much of Cats! Not to mention how adorable the baby tiger person was. Ah! (Though I was really amazed that the Healer Chief's son was so willing to bring out the violence on that poor tiger mom, they stole her baby!) It makes me sad that there won't be more Luna in the rest of the show. Maybe she'll pop up later, but it's clear she's not a reoccurring role.
Ka Suo and the older looking Kong Shi have such amazing chemistry. I'm really looking forward to watching them interact more. I can just feel the brotherly love and that's something I'm very pleased to see unfold. Clearly Kong Shi isn't just Ice .. . . and I'm very curious how that will all come into play.
Overall I had fun. Basically I've come to grips with the fact that Ice Fantasy is campy fantasy fun.

Somehow I've become attached to the characters. I personally blame Ka Suo's gorgeous/playful smile. Because the writers really haven't done much to elevate the plot or characters. (Not to mention dialogue.)
It's time to admit that despite my interenal warnings to drop this drama I'm gonna keep going.
I can't help it!! There's just something . . . addicting about it. Not to mention where things went with Ka Suo's brother!! However, what about all of the other character??? The prisoner's of the King of Fire, so on? There's so many character left behind, as more and more are introduced.
The overtop cheesiness of Ice Fantasy has grown on me. Yes, I still mourn for what could have been. Looks like I will be in for the cheese fest. Not to mention I really like the Poison warrior/healer. She's so bad@$$!

Apparently my curiosity is still present. I pined and pined for this series, and part of me is still not willing to give it up.
It's over the top campy and it makes me laugh. The writers clearly have no idea how to balance out characters, especially so many!
I'll keep pushing on a bit more.

This episode was a step in the right direction! Focusing more on the cast of characters and the medicine. Even using a medical story inspired from true events that happened in China. So extra points! I'm very curious how the case will end.
Yes, the hospital politics are still there. Oh, and it does exactly what I thought it would do plotwise. Still this episode brought back a lot of what I loved about the show.
Not to mention that Hye Jung confronts Ji Hong about how he just does things without her. Doing everything on his own. Even when she discussed it with him. He needs to change if they can ever be together.
Not to mention that now I really want to cheer for Yoon Do. Likeliness of him getting the girl, no. However, I am still very much for him and Soon Hee being a couple. I really think they would have fire!
Overall I liked the introductory of In Joo back into the story. (We're all shipping her with Ji Hong's womanizing BFF right?) This was a much better step in the right direction for this series and I hope it keeps going that way. Not to mention that it still broke my heart even though I knew it was coming.
