Ice Fantasy

The anti-hero has had a good run on American TV, with incarnations ranging from murderous (Tony Soprano, Walter White) to merely obnoxious (Don Draper, Barney Stinson). If you’re ready for a real hero, you just might fall for Ka Suo, the protagonist of this addictive Chinese series. Played by Feng Shaofeng – renowned in China for nailing crying scenes – he’s a powerful immortal who falls for a mortal girl. Sets by Dan Hennah – who won an Oscar for his work on the Lord of the Rings films – provide a lush backdrop for this sprawling tale of love and sacrifice.
