Once Upon a Time is full of charming men, but nothing quite compares to mega-fan-favorite Captain Hook. Not only is actor Colin O'Donoghue easy on the eyes, but we just can't get enough of his character's epic love story with Emma Swan. Since the show is currently on a hiatus, let's take a look back at every single moment that led to our obsession. From his swoon-worthy accent to his spine-tingling smolder, we totally get why Emma has fallen for the once-dastardly pirate. Let us illustrate how you got hooked (we had to) on Hook.
