I completely forgot about true love’s kiss. A kiss on the cheek or forehead from Bae would have definitely worked. I don’t know why the Blue Fairy didn’t tell him that. But then again, this could all just be a simple plot hole. The writers needed to find a reason why Rumpel to created the curse, and that couldn’t happen if his own personal curse was already broken. Sometimes details are sacrificed for the greater plot. Sad, but true.

I’ve been wondering about this too. A simple kiss from Bae could have solved this whole fiasco. But like you said, if Bae broke Rumpel’s curse, then there’d be no show. I just hate it when writers ignore details in order to push the plot forward. Especially when it makes otherwise good characters appear to be shady. The Blue Fairy could be perfectly benevolent, but because of the writers’ attempts to use her as a harsh plot device, the audience views her with suspicion.
