I wasn't so sure about this one in the beginning. I have a hard time with the stepbrother and stepsister romance plots. Since I have a stepbrother and I think that's gross. But I really got into it, as you sense they like each other before you find out their parents are getting married. (It's in the very first episode, I'm not spoiling anything!) So that made everything else that happened okay. The acting was good and there were a lot of funny scenes.
