I would keep the roots of the show more. For example, mainly in the first season, a bit in the second season, and hardly anything else with a few exceptions for the rest of the series, the show was focused around true love and how true loves kiss can break any curse. That storyline went away, as did then premise of magic beans and the hat. Pretty much all portals are non existent, with the exception that the sorceror seems to be able to transport between realm. If I would do this, I would have had the sorceror give the snow queen and the others he helped transport a magic bean or looking glass or other.

Another hint is I would solve unresolved questions. Such as the "a certain mermaid" and gold having Regina's tears.

Lastly I ink I would have more firmly dedicated each season to a different person or storyline. Season one was obviously mostly about snow and charming, with other backstory episodes scattered around for the other main cast and the recurring characters. I would do the same for season two, and have it be about rumple and his son with a few other episode on other characters like the episodes for whale and adding one for blue or granny and folk. At the end of two I think I would have had henry be golds undoing and had him die and then have Cora not die and have her be the new dark one. Three would be Regina's season and Cora's, with as in aid before a few other episodes scattered like season one. Then I think three would end the same way four did, with emma taking Cora's place, and maybe a major death. Then four would be like the second half of four, withn the queens of darkness but without frozen and company, and I would have four be Emma's season with her parents, then I would have snow and charming die in the end four and have a big cast change, like keeping emma, and regina, and maybe henry, then add maleficent, Zelena and Robin as then main cast along with will. Then five would be like then end half of three, about regina and her sister and her love, and also about Maleficent and Lily and the father. From there I don't know whats I would do, but here are the things i know I would either have not done or done very differently...

-hook/Peter pan/Neverland

-frozen

-doing cinderella (I would have waited until I could use will and anastasia)
