ONCE UPON A TIME (2011~)

For my fifth post, I'll introduce "ONCE UPON A TIME"

This fantasy story takes place in the town of Storybrooke, Maine.  The main characters are Emma Swan, Henry and the central characters of fairy stories, such as Snow White, Evil Queen, Prince Charming, Rumplestiltskin and so on.  They live in the real world that forgot their background.  They used to live in the Enchanted Forest, but the Evil Queen transported them to the real world by using  magic instructed by Rumplestiltskin.  

In the Enchanted Forest, the Evil Queen appeared at the wedding ceremony of Snow White and Prince Charming, she said 'I'll cast a magic hex on everyone and the happy end will be mine'.  Then her magic set everything in motion, and almost everyone was ransported to the real world and became normal people.

After 28 years, in Boston, Emma Swan grew up as an orphan and celebrated her birthday alone.  Suddenly, a boy visited her named Henry.  He said, 'I'm your son born 10 years ago' and he showed her a big picture book. She didn't believe it, so she drove him to his house in Storybrooke.  On the way home, he insisted on the real occurrence drawn in the big picture book 'Fairy Story'.  His stepmother is the Evil Queen, his school teacher Mary is Snow White, John Doe sleeping in a coma in the hospital is Prince Charming and their daughter is Emma.  He thought that she could solve the hex.  Emma was going to go back to Boston, but she was asked anxiously by Henry 'Please stay here just one week'.  She accepted it and checked into a hotel.  As soon as she entered the hotel, the town changed step by step.  The existence of Emma tamped down the effect of the hex.

I think this series is interesting, but it's a little difficult because the real world story and the fairy story are mixed.  The best high spot is the real world draws on the picture book just the same.  This series puts in a little bit of the flavor of Disney, so if you like Disney, you should watch it.  This series has 5 seasons now, but you can rent 1 and 2 seasons only.  If you're interested in this story, you should watch the trailer on You Tube and go to TSUTAYA soon.
