My Fairytail Love Story tackles the story of Chantel, she's a quite mean and she has a best friend Noah who is very timid yet over protective of Chantel. One day Chantel along with Noah and Missy went to an island called "Mermaid Island" where she met an old lady that warns her about taking or destroying anything under the sea, but she shrugged it off and went on with their trip thinking the old lady was just crazy from there the conflict rises as her life takes a full turn as she got cursed.
From there Chantel thought that like any other fairytale her curse will end with a true loves kiss that's why she searched for it and thought she found it in DJ Ethan, but meeting Ethan was just the beginning of Chantel's quest on finding that one true love.
My Fairy Tail Love Story was a well crafted movie from cinematography, story, acting, production design, humor, script etc. everything went well and compliment each other to make the movie the best as possible.
The story was unique I must say because it broke all the norms of a typical fairy tale story out there, it took the concept of "true loves kiss" to a different perspective and the concept of happy ending was replaced with a more true to life and a story line wherein people can relate themselves to.
The cinematography was superb, from the aerial shots down to the underwater shots all were breathtaking and adds up to the feels of the movie, it also showcase the best scenery the location has to offer from beautiful beaches and diving sites here in the country.
Another thing I liked about this movie is the insertion of the musical genre, the song Be My Fairy Tale was on repeat and I feel the last song syndrome now actually it was the perfect song for this movie, not just because of the title, but also because the message of the song perfectly fits in with the movie.
I also liked the humor that they used in this movie, it perfectly fits in with the characters and I didn't not expected the actors to deliver effectively as it kept the movie away from any dull or draggy moments.
In the acting department I must say that the character of Chantel was tailor made for Janella Salvador, I couldn't imagine anyone doing the character it is only Janella who can act it out. Also this is the first time I watched Janella doing comedy, throwing punchlines and she was very effective doing those 'Maarte" scenes and of course she just proved that she is one of the best young actress today with her outstanding performance in this movie.
Elmo Magalona on the other hand really did improved when it comes to his acting prowess, I was impressed with his portrayal of the role of Noah to the point that I wanted a friend like Noah who's very adorable though a bit timid. I must say Elmo's performance as Noah is his best performance as an actor he owned the character and I am sure when you watch him in the movie you will also look for your own "Noah".
P.S.
Elmo got a surprise for everyone in the ending.
Kiko Estrada was a revelation in this movie, he was able to shine in this movie after delivering such awesome performance rivaling Elmo and I felt that he and Janella also got the chemistry in the movie that's why his character wasn't that too annoying.
Kiray Celis proved in this movie that whether she's a lead or just a support she can still deliver a great performance specially in giving out the comic relief in every scene, well she ain't the comedy princess for nothing.

The movie left me with one question and that question is Why does this movie got snubbed in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2017, by looking at the finished product this is way better than other movie who got in the top 8.
Anyway moving forward "My Fairy Tail Love Story" is so far the best movie from Regal Films that I've seen as everything was well executed, this is worth your money and this is also the perfect movie date this Valentines day!
10/10
