Snowing's story forms the basis of the entire series, so of course it's the best well-written.

I love the adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, though I'm biased since Belle the bookworm was always my favorite Disney princess. I agree with others that they screwed over the Rumbelle ship in later seasons; like they would create conflict between the two just for the sake of drama. However, if you pretend the later seasons don't exist and focus on, say, "Skin Deep" (1x12), "The Crocodile" (2x4), and "The Outsider" (2x11) -- the storyline is lovely and by far my favorite fairytale adaptation.

And I *love* the Oz storyline. Maybe it's just because I love Zelena so much, but having the Wicked Witch of the West being the abandoned sister of the Evil Queen just makes so much sense. And for a minor character, Zelena has a pretty compelling character arc. That whole plotline was great.
