TV Series: Once Upon A Time (2011) Season 1

I always love fairy tales and I instantly loved this series because the story revolves around the classic fairy tales and magic. The show tells us that there is an alternate world where every classic fairy tale character exists but without magic. The main characters are Snow White, Prince Charming, The Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin, Henry and his mother, Emma Swan. 

It's actually good and how they've written the story is impressive. They've threaded every story together making it connected with each other. I love how every princess is friends with one another and that Snow White and Prince Charming have a daughter, who will be their savior in the future. 

Emma Swan played by Jennifer Morrison
Emma is a bail bonds collector who was abandoned by the side of a road as a new born. Twenty eight years later, she is found by Henry, who she gave up for adoption 10 years prior, and the boy insists that she's the one who can break the curse of his town, Storybrooke, Maine, where time has stopped until her arrival.

 Prince Charming played by Josh Dallas / Snow White played by Ginnifer Goodwin
Our Prince Charming and Snow White who always find each other. They are the parents of Emma Swan who put her in a wardrobe to save her from the curse of the Evil Queen. Snow White is Mary Margaret Blanchard in our world, a teacher who is close with Henry because she thinks he's special. Prince Charming is a John Doe who went into a coma until Mary Margaret woken him up.

Evil Queen played by Lana Parrilla 
 Goes by the name of Regina, the Evil Queen was the one who cast the spell who put everyone in Storybrooke frozen in time with no memory of their past selves. She adopted Henry in our world and is sincere in loving him but Henry doesn't quite trust her because of her secrets. 

Rumplestiltskin played by Robert Carlyle
It's not until Season 2 that I learn his name. Tsk. But anyway, Rumplestiltskin or Mr. Gold, is the bad guy of the story. He has dark magic and anyone who asks for his help needs to give him something in return. He's kinda scary but he has his share of story. He's the one who told Snow and Charming that their child would be the one who will save them from the curse of the Evil Queen.

Henry Mills played by Jared Gilmore
Henry was adopted by Regina but his birth mother is Emma. He's the one who brought back Emma to Storybrooke and since then they unravel the truth about their town. 

I also love Ruby (Red Riding Hood) because she's friends with Snow and she's a bad ass. Hihi :")

I give it 4/5 stars and I suggest you watch it too especially if you love fairy tales like me. It will make you miss those classic fairy tales we've seen when we were kids. I'm only on the 2nd Season so I have a lot of catching up to do because Season 5 will be aired later this September.

Watch it here. Enjoy! :)
