The Vampire Diaries: Why Do We Love Damon?
Thanks to Netflix and YouTube videos, I'm obsessed with The Vampire Diaries , the CW’s uber-popular series based on the books by L.J. Smith. In case you’re unfamiliar, TVD chronicles events in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, a place populated by vampires, werewolves, hybrids, doppelgangers, and witches. Oh, and some humans. With Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec at the helm, TVD is a sprawling, intricately woven saga which captivates from Episode 1 until the last moment of Season 5. I’m still recovering. But this die-hard romantic watches TVD for one main reason: the dynamic romance between Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert, expertly portrayed by real-life sometimes-couple Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev. You can get the deets on Damon and Elena's history here , but know this: their epic love is one for the ages. It is wild, passionate, and all-consuming, everything you want in a relationship. Right?
