Me desperté vampira

A wonderful show for kids having lots of good acting, storyline plots, great music and enough fantasy mystery to keep them interested.

What struck me most was how unbelievably good Kaileen Angelic Chang (Carmie) was able to sing, act and move. She has so much grace and charisma at such a young age and the right choice as the lead.

At 26-27 minutes runtime per episode, it still packs enough punch, momentum and vibe to keep you interested, crave for more and to see what's next.

I Woke Up a Vampire had a chance to be an enjoyable series. The concept of a young teen becoming discovering she's a vampling - half human, half vampire - had potential much along the lines of Sabrina. Unfortunately, it falls prey (pun intended) to the worst tropes of teen TV. It has the nice but somewhat oblivious parents, the annoying yet clever siblings, the best friend who knows the secret and is the source of esoteric knowledge, a self-centered mean girl, the uber-evil villain with the somewhat moronic and put-upon henchman, and more.

The cast is diverse and the young actors are good. The cartoon-like antagonists, however, tend to munch the scenery a bit. The writing is really predicable and gives away almost every "twist" or surprise well before they happen. The writers don't seem to be able to decide whether it's a comedy, a dramedy, or a teen-drama. The effects are fairly mediocre. And, yes, the vampires glow.

As I said above Ultimately, if you miss this series, you won't miss much. It is pretty ignorable.

I don't really get why people hate this show so much. I get that the actors weren't the best at acting, but most of them are just kids. I think it is a great show, I am thirteen years old and I think my friends would love this! I believe they should make more seasons. And for the adults who don't like this show, it's understandable because the actors are a bit awkward, but it's a very interesting and good show. Also it's made for children so you shouldn't give it such a harsh rate just because it wasn't up to your standards. I've watched all of the episodes that have came out so far, me and my mom really enjoyed it.

Seems like there are quite a few complaints here about this series, probably by adults who've forgotten that it was designed to be viewed by children. My 9 year old grandson enjoyed it and never complained once about the acting or anything else. I watched along with him and the only thing I didn't like was that the second series isn't there to find out what happens next.

Acting-wise I think all did the best they could with what they had to work with, and the story does hold your interest. Granted, it's a grade B production overall, but the idea here was to make a series with likable vampires, werewolves, etc., where "bad" people actually turn out to be good. Where your assumed enemies are later transformed into friends. Lots of good lessons to learn here.

The actors and script are pretty terrible. However, I watched the whole series because the story itself is interesting. I like the idea of Blendeds and Mythics. I was interested to see where they go with it. Unfortunately, not that far. The script and acting leave a lot to be desired. Some of the choices for the actors were laughable as well. The comic store owner is awful, as is the main villain. And don't even get me started on the twins. I do like the main kids, though. I think they have potential. I don't know if we'll get another season, but the story was interesting enough to warrant it, if they can improve the writing.
