History WebVideo / ForeverSucks

That's right, ''Forever Sucks'', a Filipino webseries from Digital 5 (D5) Studios, the Internet arm of media network TV-5, centres around a 170-year-old vampire who happens to work at a call centre, and why wouldn't she? The hours are perfect for night owls like her. It doesn't make interacting with humans any easier though.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Many of the standard Western vampire tropes apply to Izabel and other vampires in this series—they drink blood (duh), [[WeakenedByTheLight burn up in the sunlight]], are biologically immortal, and are implied to have SuperStrength, for one. Instead of lying prone in a coffin, however, Izabel sleeps upside-down like a bat, and she and other vampires are capable of telepathic MindControl. Also, it's reasonable to think they're not affected by crosses, given they live smack dab in one of the only two overwhelmingly Catholic countries in Asia—if crosses affected them, they'd have all either died long ago or else fled to literally any other Asian country (except UsefulNotes/TimorLeste, the other overwhelmingly Catholic Asian country). Their irises can also turn red (or at least Izabel's does).

** Probably not intentional, but "Izabel" is a Hispanic derivative of "Elizabeth", as in blood-bather Elizabeth Bathory.

* ShipTease: Izabel with her team leader, AJ, for much of Season 1. Also a bit with their officemates Pol and Nancy Jane.

** The call centre itself in a meta sense; it's named '''Harker & Helsing''', after two of the human protagonists of ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'', but it could also remark on the fact that the rest of the call centre is filled with humans unwittingly working with a vampire (or more!), and some of them slowly discover the truth, like Jonathan Harker himself eventually did.

* WeakenedByTheLight: When Izabel is once forced out of her OldDarkHouse to help out Nancy Jane, she starts visibly smoking[[note]]and that's not meant as a euphemism for being hot, though her actress, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, sister of bigger-time Filipina celebrity Anne Curtis, is pretty attractive to begin with[[/note]].

* OldDarkHouse: Izabel's home. The production crew chose what looks like a big, old, American-colonial-era house for the interiors and the front door shots. All the curtains are drawn inside, [[WeakenedByTheLight for obvious reasons.

* OperatorFromIndia: From the Philippines in this case. It's Izabel's and her coworkers' day job—ahem,]] ''night'' job. Makes sense that if a vampire can burn up in the sun, her options are obviously limited to the night shift.

Has earned fan comparisons to ''Series/OrangeMarmalade'', a Korean series about a vampire also adjusting to live in human society.
