Oh my goshhhh! This show made me UGLY cry! All the way through I was crying and screaming at the tv. It’s not your typical drama, and there’s no follow through plot… that’s because it doesn’t need it! The viewer is literally encapsulated 15 eps by this wondrous up and down left and right friendship. It’s so real and raw and true that it makes the story come alive. The writer makes you feel for every single character with their depth and compassion and their own individual story! All the characters are just misunderstood and that fact alone makes you love them even more. My favorite misunderstood character was the siblings mom.

It was … okay. First I’ll go with the good. I liked that this movie encompassed more of the Indigenous culture than before. I think any little girl who’s part of this culture would love to see all of the elements that are featured. I also think there were some pretty good songs in here too. BUT the plot is … meh. It actually felt a bit like the plot of Frozen 2; the MC feeling like there’s more out there for her so she goes on this big side quest. However, unlike Frozen, I felt like there was no rhyme or reason to why the side quest was being done. There was no character development or urgency to the quest (like a do this or everything could fall apart). I also was bummed that they introduced so many new amazing characters but left their stories incomplete and underdeveloped. If you’re going to start the movie with a really strong new mysterious character, I expect that character to have a stronger role in the development of the plot. Don’t introduce a really good character that viewers could potentially get behind and root for just to leave their story hanging. It just felt like a lot of unsolved mysteries (don’t even get me started about the fire in the sky). There are some movies that aren’t meant to have sequels.

If you’re looking for a drama/fantasy show, you can look no further because the rewatchability of this show is un.freaking.matched! Everything is chefs kiss to the most finite detail!! Every character, villain, side characters, settings, personalities, chemistry, arcs, outfits.. like everything is to such a perfect tee! Exactly how you would think fairytale characters would act, these actors played them amazingly. I also love how they include every single fairy tale creature. As I watch my reaction is always shocked when I see a fairytale character that I had completely forgotten ie: Robin Hood, Wicked witch of the west, Wendy’s dog. It’s full of laughs, drama, PLOT TWISTSSSS, lovable characters (modern and fairytale). I also love how every single thing is connected. Fair warned, you cannot skip a single ep of this show because of how much it’s all connected. Shows like this don’t come around anymore! I’ve seen it all the way through about 10 times and everytime I do, it’s like the first time I’ve seen it. My favorite season (or arc) would have to be Neverland! There’s just so much growth in all of the characters both good and evil and just spins on fairytales that you didn’t know could even exist!
