When you see through the hypocritical nature of fairy tales, you are no longer a child.

Little Red Riding Hood turns into a werewolf to eat her boyfriend, Cinderella is abandoned by the prince to become a single mother, Snow White turns into a junior, and Prince Charming turns into a scumbag affectionately. The emotional entanglement between the two spans two worlds. I can’t help this plot. Sing
"The pain of attachment for all love / The injury of attachment for all hate / I can't distinguish between love and hate / whether it's this way~"

Of course I am not chasing after the American version of "The Temptation of Returning to the Village". So I survived the boring first three episodes because it has been breaking the "rules" of traditional fairy tales. The fairy tales here are more realistic. So many people call it an "adult fairy tale", probably because it conveys the following two points.

1. To gain, you must lose.

When I saw one of the main ideas of this play, I was so excited that I was in tears. Someone finally remembered what the junior high school teacher said, "The energy of nature is conserved!"

The biggest drawback of fairy tales and magic that we have accepted since childhood It is that the authors of radical idealism completely ignore the laws of nature, under the guise of magic, telling you that as long as you have a kind heart, you will get everything you want with a wave of the stick, but... matter and energy cannot Come and disappear out of thin air, classmates! (Knocking on the blackboard), why do you get a prince and a white horse if you are a beautiful princess, oh no, white horse?


The reality tells us that there are many things that you may not get even if you work hard, let alone get something for nothing? Anyone who is sane will not believe in the nonsense of "pies falling in the sky", who knows whether the bread is dark food...

So one of the central ideas of this play (probably the only reliable central idea) is to convey The view that "you must pay for what you want" is a confrontation with the three bloody elements of traditional fairy tales: "kindness, love, and magic", and it is also a more realistic expression.

2. Good and bad are not the absolute criteria for judging a person, life or death is not the only destination for a person.

The best interpretation of this point should be Uncle Jin-"The Dark One" in the fairy tale world, Mr. Gold in the real world. He holds the handle of everyone and holds the "magic price" related to their lives and true love , Every key turning point occurred here. When you think that he helped the Queen of Witch revise everyone's happy ending memories, and is the initiator of all this, you will find that he is changing ways to help Emma deal with Rigina (the Queen of Witch in reality).

Unlike the fairy tales we read when we were children, kind princesses always have the world to help the poor, and vicious witches always want everything greedily. The communication of this simple worldview led me to ask "Is he a good person or a bad person" when I watched a drama for a long time when I was growing up.

In this play, everyone has hurt others more or less for selfish desires, and no one is clean. But even the most vicious people are not unforgivable. Their conscience is not completely wiped out, but there is a trace of kindness to the world. In Fairy Tale Town, everyone carries the identity of the fairy tale, but follows the "law of survival" in the real world: there is no absolute good person, and no absolute villain.

Of course, its reputation is indeed moderate. A large part of it is because it cannot tell a story about a fairy tale character in one episode. The two timelines are interspersed, which leads to the slow pace of the plot advancement and the complicated relationship between the characters. In addition, Snow White and White Horse The prince pair relied on the protagonist's aura to split and reunite from beginning to end, and the relationship was chaotically lasting for a season! The procrastination of the plot is almost like a Korean drama...

and its special effects really give you 50 cents of change. Feel free to feel this Alice’s wonderland:

There are also occasional bugs in the plot logic, and there are old stalks like true love kiss that China’s overbearing president’s text is too lazy to use. There are occasional small disputes in Sanguan, which leads to the bullet screen every minute because of who is the mistress and who is cheating. Although it's a little bit tricky to deal with in some details, I'm still willing to recommend this show.

First of all, I have to say that the screenwriters of "Fairy Tale Town" really have a huge brain, and they can weave unrelated fairy tales into a big net, so that every fairy tale character can be "close to each other". And all kinds of divine transitions make people can't help but yell "Fuck! My childhood!" while clicking the mouse to cache the next episode.

I just like dramas that don't follow the rules!

The second is the magical connection of the lines and the clever switching of the shots. The same line appears in both worlds at the same time, with a certain symbolic and meaningful hint. For example, in the fairy tale world, Snow White and Prince Charming have a good impression in the "Troll Bridge" (monster bridge) "teaming to fight monsters", and in the real world "Toll Bridge" (toll bridge) to make love. This kind of scene switching between "fairy tale" and "reality" in the same place makes the story very coherent. Although the plot is procrastinated, it will not be abrupt and disconnected.

In the end, I must be convinced by this world of seeing faces...

All the actors are handsome hin! ! !

Although the overbearing president of "Fifty Shades of Grey" was a dog in the seventh episode, the Winter Soldiers later made up! Moreover, almost every child is very cute, and his acting skills are relatively natural. There is no sense of contradiction in either fairy tale or modern costumes.

However, it is said that this drama will hit the street in the next few seasons, and with the forcible addition of new characters and the opening of more branches, the originally far-fetched network of characters has become more and more complicated... so there are several connections. Season’s drama, let ’s watch and cherish it...

Finally, I

hope that everyone who has seen through fairy tales can live what they want

after

seeing the truth of this world.
