I thought I would never be able to find an entry on this site till now. I remembered this was shown here like two years ago or something on the television.

Growing up reading some of Hans Christian Andersen's works had definitely made me curious into watching this. Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was like fairytale-like at times. I mean it in a good way and it's true.

Though being in my late teens, it's always such shows like this which will always bring me back to my childhood days.

Quite enchanting with those characters as well. Amazing.
