It's a sort of tacky, cheesy soap opera but with witches and vampires. It takes itself far far too seriously, which makes the whole thing feel embarrassing. If it injected some humour and was more tongue in cheek, acknowledging that it's just a pretty ridiculous supernatural/teen romance/twilight style romp, then that would've made it more bearable I think. I just keep feeling bad for the actors while I'm watching it.
