Ice Fantasy: Magical yet Tragic, Dramatic and Traumatic

How slow is Prince Ka Suo? He's got the power but his power is not as powerful as his entourage. Or he probably doesn't know how to use his power. He's always sleeping and dreaming, without aim, without purpose in life. He is like a driftwood being carried by water to whatever flow it's going. He can't decide for himself or he is just too slow.

One by one, Ka Suo's friends are taken away by tragic death. It's a tragedy that he cannot control or he has the power but he doesn't know how to use it.

Remember ZOOLANDER?
ICE FANTASY has that similar story of not being aware of consequences.

Every episode, every night, one by one Ka Suo's friend has to suffer and die from evil menace. The black smoke is evil. The black smoke represents the devil.  At first, their enemy is the Fire Tribe but then when the Fire Tribe's Yanda becomes a friend of Prince  Shi,  their once powerful fire lashing blasting power has weakened. Another evil tribe has surfaced which the Ice tribe has to conquer. Is Ka Suo the lead character in this fantasy novel/series? I doubt it. I think it's Prince Shi,  the illusionist is the main lead actor in ICE FANTASY. How he came to life I wonder? Just like the butterflies process of metamorphosis... eh? Dude, humans are made of carbon and carbon is forever.
Diamonds are forever!

At first, I kind of think that it was Victoria Song (Liluo) is the main lead actress however when she died then no more appearances after that except when Prince Ka Suo chooses to have unconscious moments in a dreamlike setting.

Despite of the series daily ritual of providing dramatic, tragic, traumatic sequences, magical atmosphere, flash mode display of skills in chosen weaponry, the actors and actresses wearing beautiful costumes and beautiful face, almost flawless skin complexion still is ICE FANTASY is  great choice for viewing pleasure at 10 pm. I wish they have English subtitles because they speak Chinese, they should have English translation on the screen. What happened is the communication between actors and actresses is in Chinese language (Mandarin) then the scripted words are in Chinese characters.

Whatever!
