07:41That's what makes it perfect for binge-watching.

07:513. Fated to My Forbidden Vampire

07:58This vertical drama is as cliché as it gets, but it's so addictive you won't even mind.

08:03An ill-fated human girl, Heather, is taken in by the Blakes, a family of cruel vampires.

08:09You have no idea how lucky you are. You are just a worthless human. An orphan.

08:16If our family hadn't taken you in, you would have long been dead.

08:20She faces relentless mistreatment, especially at the hands of Fiona Blake, until her savior Theo comes

08:27along. Theo is the top dog among the vamps, and everyone wants him, but he ends up forging a

09:20You're not afraid of me like everyone else is, are you?

09:23As it turns out, this uncle she cozied up to for revenge, Henry Lockwood, is also her grand boss,

09:29and suddenly, it's hard not to mix business with pleasure. What we adore about this series is how

09:34Christine is no damsel in distress. She has Henry wrapped around her finger, and he loves it.

09:40It also helps that they have undeniable chemistry. The plot might be formulaic, but its corny charm

09:56will win you over.

09:57If you pull another stunt like that with me again, I'll break off our engagement.

10:01That would be the best thing in my life.
