I noticed that most of the negative comments on this series contain horrible grammar and spelling (i cant believe they are playing up the whole twilight thing! u should totally not watch this series.) Maybe these people should spend less time in front of the television and more time reading.
Anyway, I am myself a Twilight fan; I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps it has something to do with the "forbidden love." I was very skeptical of this series at first; I thought it was a Twilight knock-off. Actually, the story has more depth and, in terms of quality, the actors are better. Nina and Paul have great chemistry (Rob and Kristen's chemistry has been edited out of all their scenes. The raw footage is much better).
Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by this series. I am going to read the books, although I'm worried I'll turn into one of those people who are screaming, "She's supposed to be a blonde! Her friend is a red-head! They left out characters!!" Welcome to Hollywood.
