Pros:
1. Amazing concept
2. Costume and character design is really beautiful and fantastic
3. Amazing special effects and animation
4. The action scenes are pretty cool
5. A lot of famous actors and actresses are involved in it. If you are a fan, you would like to watch it.
Cons:
1. The plot is complex
2. Ending is weird and unclear
3. Too much annoying character
4. The story can be too cheesy and sappy
In the end, this drama is a failure to me. Despite the great concept and beautiful imagination, it offers me, but the story just fails me hard.

This series had both good and sort of ok parts that had me stopping, some acting in areas that was stagnant which made me take a break and then go back to finish watching. The music I loved, especially "Ai Hui Huan" by Huai-Pei Ye. The visual fx was both eye catching then a little much for me, but the budding relationships & established ones, were what pulled me back. Like the growing attraction & eventual romance between Li Luo & Ka Suo. As the characters grew together, their connection grew which was a truly beautiful thing to see. The other part I loved was the strength of the connection between brothers, Ying Kong Shi & Ka Suo. The emotion the two actors brought out as they performed as these two characters, had me hoping, crying, and wishing for a better outcome no matter how dire the consequences were. Ma Tianyu (Ray Ma) did an outstanding job as Ying Kong Shi & I wanted a much happier end for his character. I also liked Xu Ke ( 徐可) as Xing Jiu, he did well and hoping his character would want to live on & have a family as much as he wanted for his sister. Both their characters had a brother and a sister complex. :) Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Great story - production, editing, and costuming could better
The story was great - two immortal brothers, one of royal blood, one of questionable lineage, are each other's protectors. Throw in a mortal love and other characters from different clans, and you have Ice Fantasy. The storyline is the best part - Ka Suo and Ying Kong Shi have a fantastic relationship; the mortal Kingdom Guardian Li Luo (Ka Suo's love), and an unrequited love in Princess Lan Shang (another mortal). The clan leaders that come to support both are great characters. The only actor I had an issue with Princess Lan Shang - she's a mermaid, but she's flighty and kinda dumb. Which was sad given all the strong female characters in this series.The production and costuming weren't the best - the Fire Lord, Huo Yi - had the worst hair; think 80's Wonder Woman, literally, as did one of his sons. And the costumes - I know it's fantasy, but it's set in olden times. Li Luo's main outfit/armour has a zipper!!!! She also wore heeled boots that she had a hard time walking normally in.
The editing probably drove me up the wall the most - I know it's a romance, but the episodes could have been whittled down if they didn't replay every scene all the paired lovers and brothers had when they were reminiscing. I can recite all of Li Luo's lines.
If you can get past those, you'll probably enjoy it. I do wish it had a second season as I'd like to know if they found the ancient book in the Snow Spirit Mountain.

Years Of Trying, I Give Up
In 2019 I dropped this drama because Ka Suo's weakness infuriated and annoyed me, as well as his incessant whining about his uselessness after he lost his spiritual power. We get it, you feel like a failure. Now do something about it.And yet, here I am again, as I expected. Ying Kong Shi's leadership as well as the tense relationship between him and the Fire Princess was enough to launch me back in again. I'm along for the ride, just to see what their outcome will be. And my Cdrama veteran heart fears that it will be a painful end. We'll see how my rating changes as I keep watching.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I have just found out that SPOILER!!!! Ying Kong Shi and Yan Da are step-sibilings. Their relationship is doomed, YKS' newly received power on the throne is already threatened and will be short-lived, and Ka Suo is still a weak loser acting like a side character.
I think this is a good place to stop. The 6 stars I give this drama all go to Ying Kong Shi, Yan Da, Yue Shen, and the Head Dreamer. They carried the entire show.

Crazy about Asian dramas

Slowly love story started ,at starting it is one side love . immortal loved mortal but same story like other drama of mortal and immortal that immortal can't marry mortal so mortal had to hide her feeling and try to framed herself wrong but at last they came together but something happened that his brother ,his lover and the one who loved him died .Inorder to bring them back he and his fellow companion do some task and this part I liked because like a strong bond they crossed one by one level but felt sad when one by one started dying .
When all three come back to life I really don't understand why his lover ,though she lost her memories but not her attitude but why she acted like silly person and other two remembered little part. Then till last one regain memory and other two I didn't get they regained or not and drama completed.
I like shi and LAN Shan pairing more than his and yan de ,I thought in second season I get to see shi and LAN Shan pairing but reading synopsis she got supporting role and yan de got main role.
I like doctor love story they looked cute together.
I like some episodes and I don't like some episodes , sometime some episodes are boring. So 50-50.

I liked how the relationships between the characters develop and also how one can relate to so many feelings they have.
I also loved the costumes and the set! The music was soooo good too! Most of the times I usually skip the intro because it gets boring after a while, but I had to listen to the song they used here all the time :D
I think I even watched it two times already and still think it's awesome!
The ending could be a bit different in my opinion...I love happy endings and this ending made me kind of sad.
Also it's interesting that I kind of switched liking the characters in this drama but I don't think I was the only one :D at first we really like the relationship between Ka Suo and Li Luo but later on I (or we all) were really excited to know how the relationship between Ying Kong Shi and Yan Da develops.
This drama has everything: some comedy, action, magic, love and also lots and lots of heartbreak x)

i am dropping this drama
i am dropping this Ice fantasy drama after watching 19 episode.. I feel it so boring to watch. For the last 5 episode i sparingly watching it, cant glue my eyes for this drama. the story should be good though, the type of drama story i like. May be the way they lay out the story...... So boring. The cast is full of good actress and actors but they don't playing full to the expectations i guess. I love drama with 50+ episode.. But for this drama ice fantasy if its only 38 episode , may be i will watching it with skip or fast forwarding sometimes, to end. But for 62 boring episodes, just wasting my time.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Ice fantasy has an amazing sound track the romance portion of the show is great excellent infact.
The acting of the leads is good whereas the acting of some minor characters leaves much to be desired
Can't stand the mermaid princesses personality at all quite an annoying character.
The pacing of the show is very slow. Now I know the more episodes the slower shows usually develop as they go along but it feels like it crawls at a snails pace. It also feels like the show is lacking, I can't get emotionally invested in the leads because honestly I don't feel I know enough about them, nor have I been through enough with them. While I understand I'm not very far through at the time of writing this.. with each ep being around 38 min when you exclude intro and outro I think atleast by episode 6 they should be growing on me by now.
Now I'm not gonna comment much on the visual effects in the show because for me it doesn't really bother me though they look obviously fake same with the creatures / animals in the show.
I love the costumes and scenes in the show they are absolutely beautiful. Though it does bother me some of the hair its quite obvious are wigs but thats a minor detail. The music works perfectly with each scene and is absolutely beautiful to listen to.
Now will I drop the show? Im not sure yet I'm going to give it some more time I think.
But would I ever rewatch it if I do finish it? Most likely not, or I'd atleast skip the first 10 episodes to speed things up. But watch every single second of it from the beginning again? Never honestly never.
I do think its worth giving a shot because it does have a lot of potential and the story itself isn't too bad. It is interesting its just slow and hard to get emotionally invested in.
