Modern Snow White: Less Magic Mirror, More Toxic Social Media.
Watched this immediately after My Sassy Princess: Wake Up! Sleeping Beauty, and I’ll admit—it’s a step up. Honestly, these shows feel like they could have an order: Wake Up! Sleeping Beauty → Cinderella → Snow White, but you don’t really need one. This one has more complexity, deeper emotional beats, and is—despite being a disaster in its own chaotic way—actually watchable.
Episode 5 of the USA version had me completely over Beauty. Like, I almost quit watching because of her. But oh, the sweet, bitter karma of it all: Snow gave her VIP seat, thinking she was doing a kind gesture, Plu was trying to do something nice for Snow without realizing she’d already given it up… and Beauty? Everyone shoved her into crying. Do I feel bad? Not even a little. She’s the textbook villain who dishes it out but can’t handle the slightest taste of her own medicine. Absolutely delicious.
Plu—I’m torn. You can see he likes Snow, but because of his image and fear of his company, he keeps hurting her. It’s unfair. Snow is sweet, overly caring, and frankly a bit too selfless sometimes, which makes her misery even more painful to watch. I wish they gave her a little evil queen moment—a moment to smack back at the chaos instead of being walked over constantly.
Ma/Ton—poor guy. The genuinely nice friend who loves Snow quietly, and she only sees him as a friend. I mean… sometimes Prince Charming doesn’t need to be romantic, but come on. Heartbreak.
And the whole “ugly Snow” thing? Please. She’s very pretty. Too dark? She’s tanned. Too heavy? She’s healthy. Finally, a lead who isn’t a stick and the show acknowledges it. Small victory.
Episode 6—things perk up, finally. Snow starts showing herself online, and the views go from 11.5k to nearly 20k. Glory. But of course, chaos: Beauty’s true colors, Plu’s overbearing boss, and more of the cringe factory hits Snow hard. Still, I love the moments where she starts reclaiming her self-esteem. She’s been beaten down since childhood, and seeing the crew start to recognize her worth is genuinely satisfying.
This series is part fairy tale, part social media commentary, all sass. Yes, it’s messy, and yes, it’s chaotic, but it’s entertaining. The characters are ridiculous, the villains are deliciously cruel, the side drama makes zero sense sometimes, and yet… I could not stop watching.
💭 Final Mood:
“Train-wreck fabulous, bitterly sweet karma, social media chaos, Snow reclaiming herself, Beauty finally getting what’s coming, and Plu being a mess of his own fears."
