Once Upon a Time and Grimm, both much expected fairy tale based series appeared a couple days ago. These are my initial reactions after watching the pilot episodes on both.

Grimm has a darker, more real feeling to it, whereas Once Upon a Time feels like Disney gone soap opera or Enchanted's slightly darker twin. Actually, one of my first thoughts

My mom had mentioned Once Upon a Time to me cause she wanted to check it out and then I saw a link for Grimm and was like "wow, two fairy tale shows at the same time?" XD From your description Grimm sounds more like my cup of tea though. I will have to see.

I checkted both out, since I love fairy tales and all kinds of adaptations of them. And since there were two shows, why not see what both are like.

I watched the trailers for both 'Once Upon A Time' and 'Grimm' and the latter looks like more of my thing. Though apart from occasional vampires I'm not really into monsters or horror. ;P

Vampire Prosecutor has pretty darn good so far but I think I like it more for the visuals and the krimi/procedural aspect really. Plus I love the chracters and the camaraderie. The drama following VP (TEN) looks rather good too.... Korean cable tv seems to be on the roll.

Btw. 'KimuTaku melting Antarctica' has subs for ep 1 already. :)

Yes, I know the Kimutaku drama has already subs, I just haven't found the time to check it out yet. The same goes for Vampire Prosecutor, though I'm planning on watching at least the first episode tonight.

I do like all kinds procedurals and crime stories, so I suspect I'll like this one as well. I saw the trailer for TEN on your LJ and it looks good.
