A vampire story is a tale as old as time (I couldn’t resist), and adding a long-lost love to the narrative is the cherry on top of a potentially swoon-worthy supernatural romance. But despite the addition of elements like centuries-long sleep, talking cats, and a school nurse whose bad luck welcomes shenanigans every other second, there is only so much to expect with this basic premise, and the quest to become human is not a solid anchor to keep watching. Although if you’re after an effortless watch, then HeartBeat’s handsome lead, quirky sidekicks, and headstrong leading lady check all the boxes for an easy watch to fall into.
