A Short Recap of Vampire Diaries Series For you
Well, if you haven’t watched this incredible vampire series running with top ratings over its 8 seasons, here is a short recap for you.
Located in the supernatural city of Mystic Falls, the story follows the life of an introverted yet bold girl Elena Gilbert (Played by Nina Dobrev). She is a young girl in her late teens who lost her parents in a car crash. She falls impossibly in love with a handsome boy named Stefan Salvatore. The boy is good-looking and nonchalant but is not what he seems. He is a vampire.
The relationship and love of Stefan and Elena are very complicated and filled with drama, conspiracy, and thrill. What adds further drama and spice to the equation is the return of the handsome older brother of Stefan, Damon Salvatore. He is also a paranormal vampire. The interesting thing about him is that he has the bad boy looks and vibes. He pretends to be evil and carefree whereas he has a soft side just like Stefan. He plans to bring the love of his life back to life whose name is Katherine Pierce.
The twist is that Katherine Pierce is also a vampire and looks a lot like Elena. In more sophisticated terms, Elena is a doppelganger of Katherine.
Although the face of Elena and Katherine are lookalike, their personalities are poles apart. While Elena is a shy, introverted, timid, and sweet kind of girl who likes to help the community and gives the utmost importance to friends and family, Katherine is much more evil.
The series started its initial season in 2009 and aired 8 successful seasons till 2017. Its loyal fans have followed this series for more than 150 episodes.
