At first it all looked funny, but the love conflict was clearly not enough, therefore, starting from the third season, inAntagonist characters began to appear on the frame, who threatened the main characters of the series with something. First, the vampire Katherine appeared on the horizon, from the mere sight of which the Salvatore brothers blew their heads. Then there were the original vampires. Then Elena was completely turned into a vampire, and in the sixth season - back into a person and was actually "killed", since the leading lady left the project. And all these dramatic events unfolded in the scenery of the mysterious city of Mystic Falls.
