TV Series: Once Upon A Time (2011) Season 3


The more I watch this show, the more I fall in love with the story and every character. And I want to tell everyone who doesn't believe in true love to watch this show because this will prove them that it really exists. Just watch Snow and Charming and I dare you to tell me you don't see true love in them! :P 

This season begins with Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Mr. Gold, Regina and Hook going to Neverland because Henry was kidnapped and brought there. They all work together to bring Henry back and have I ever told you that I love Peter Pan? Too bad he's a bad guy, or boy, in this series. And who ever thought that I would love Hook? Oh, now I do! 

Emma: You're glad to hear I have my heart broken?
Hook: If it can be broken, it means it still works.

Anyhoo, the series also introduces new characters like Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Ariel, Prince Eric, The Darling family and others. They also show how Hook became a pirate and who Peter Pan really was. Surprise, surprise! The story gets more intense when they all get back to Storybrooke and another problem occurs causing Emma and Henry to leave the place, for good. :( 

 It continues after a year when Hook suddenly shows up at Emma's door and she doesn't recognize him. The rest is for you to find out. :)

And now I have my new favorite characters. 
*Regina Mills/ Evil Queen*

Just because she's the Evil Queen doesn't mean she can't be a hero. Because people changes and love does that to people. Regina wants Henry to see that she's changed so she does everything to be good even though it's not in her nature. I love her character because she's trying really hard to prove Henry and everyone else that she can be the good guy too.

*Killian Jones/ Captain Hook*

And then again, just because Hook is a pirate doesn't mean he can't be good. Because pirates are human too and there's goodness, even just a little, in every one of us. Hook may be a villain but you know what happens when a bad guy falls in love. And let's be honest here, we all know that he likes Emma! *insert kilig face here* So I think it's enough reason for him to change into something good, if not at all, and to prove that he can be a hero too. For Emma, of course! *insert another kilig face here* 

The end of the season also shows some happy endings. It's really heartwarming and powerful that it makes me fall in love too. I'm happy for the characters and #truelove! 

Happy Ever After...
David and Mary Margaret

 Robin Hood and Regina

 Hook and Emma

 Mr. Gold and Belle

And this is how their story began...
Prince Charming: I told you I'd find you. No matter what you do, I will always find you.
Snow White: Is this the only way you can catch a woman? By entrapping her?
Prince Charming: It's the only way to catch thieving scum.
Snow White: Aren't you a real "Prince Charming"?
Prince Charming: I have a name, you know.
Snow White: Don't care. "Charming" suits you. Now cut me down, Charming.
Prince Charming: And why would I do that? Snow White?

Prince Charming: Well, wherever you're going, be careful. If you need anything...
Snow White: You'll find me?
Prince Charming: Always. 

*Hook and Emma moments* 

This is the last one, promise! :D

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! :)
