About this show

This is the story of two parallel worlds: one in a distant fairytale land, the other in present-day reality. ONCE UPON A TIME, an evil Queen cast a curse upon Snow White and Prince Charming along with the beloved characters we know and love with the intention of foiling their happy ending to get her own. Relationships will be formed, bonds will be made, battle lines will be drawn and love may be the only thing that can break the curse.

So it's weird that I wanted at first just to see what the pilot was like, and then... I fell in love (I had true love) with OUAT. I watched this show to the end of season six, then I couldn't wait for s7 to come out on Netflix so I bought the last season. Even though its a new storyline, I still really love it. Some of the characters still have their charm, even if it seemed at first totally different. I must admit though, some of the CGI... Sucked. But its hard, so I didn't care if it seemed a bit unbalanced. I still enjoyed it and I'm pretty sure I'm a crazy ouat fan and a major shipper as well. I'm sad its ending in a month forever, but I'll always keep re watching!! ❤ Every Friday night I get so excited to watch it.

Season 1 and season 2 is full of creativity. Each cliff hanger reveals something. The relationships between characters from Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest could continue their creativity. Then, season 3 becomes frustrating. I admire the fact that turning Peter Pan into a villain, and Zelena too; but at the end of each episode is too frustrating. Season 4A with Frozen characters show no creativity. 4B gives high blood pressure. Again, no creativity. The new season 5 shows no creativity either.

So in love with OUAT. My uncle told me about the show because they were using his house as the Mayor's house in the show. At first I assumed it wasn't going to be a good show because it was about fairytales. But I was soooo wrong. Each season gets more and more twisted. Truly an amazing spin on all the classics we grew up watching. This is definitely a show you can't miss.
