9. Buffy The Vampire Slayer (Buffy Summers & Angel)

Shortly after “chosen one” Buffy Summers arrives in Sunnydale, California to attend high school and slay vampires, she meets the brooding, sexy Angel, who lingers in the shadows as her underworld informant and occasional protector. Then they share a kiss and he quickly turns feral, revealing that he’s actually a vampire himself—one cursed with a soul, and on a mission to make up for all his victims by helping fight evil. In the second season, Buffy and Angel’s relationship moves to the next level, but after having sex, Angel loses his soul again and became the gleefully malicious Angelus, Buffy’s tormentor. The transformation serves as a metaphor for what happens to some young couples after they have sex—the girl feels even more uncertain, while the guy becomes kind of a dick—but it also heightens the sense of tragedy in the Buffy/Angel romance. Even after he gets his soul back, Angel has to remain remote from the woman he loves, lest he experience happiness again and revert to wickedness. In the Buffyverse, nothing’s ever just-so.
