Now that I think about it it makes sense that the curse is different, because outsiders can come in and people can leave when they want to. It's not like Storybrook where they're all stuck. And it doesn't seem like they're trapped in time either, it appears like they are aging normally. Lucy was 8 when the curse took over and now she's 10 I think so 2 years went by in Hyperion Heights.

I don't think true love's kiss only works on cursed people. When David fell off the beanstalk, Snow kissed him and then he woke up. Same with Henry when he kissed Emma. A true love's kiss basically just revives them regardless of whether they are cursed or not. But anyways, that's just my interpretation of it, I could be completely off-base.
