I can obviously think of a gazillion reasons to love it, but 10 seems like a round number...
1. The action is so fast and amazing it makes you fear blinking in case you miss something...
2. Hello?? Damon Salvatore's in the show!!
3. Several truly gasp-worthy moments in EVERY episode.
4. The Originals!! Sure, I'm not their biggest fan, but they spruce the show up a lot and make it a lot more interesting.
5. Flashbacks. Whether its the Originals 1000 years ago or Damon and Elena meeting just 1 year ago, you can never get enough of the flashbacks...
6. The truly beautiful main cast... from Nina Dobrev to Ian Somerhalder, the show does not lack looks!
7. The truly drool-worthy guest stars... who was that guy who played Ben again?
8. Damon and Stefan's influences... Stefan had Lexi, Damon had Sage... if Sage hadn't been there, Damon wouldn't have been as thrilling... he would be a more grounded (if possible) version of Stefan.
9. The whole "Sun and Moon curse is fake" thing. Totally didn't see that coming.
10. The diary entries. Sure, they got written out not far through season 1, but that was what made the show up until that point... without them, the show would just be "The Vampire." No Diaries.

He shits on Elena after she becomes a vampire and made her feel like a broken toy because he couldn’t love her as a vampire.
He slut shames her for sleeping with Damon and used that as the reason for their breakup.
He declared that she didn’t know what he was like when he was not in love with her.
He wanted to have every memory of Elena erased.
He acted like Damon had no part in Elena’s life after Elena chose him again.
He treated her oh, so well last season and this season that it was a complete shock that she had feelings for Damon.
And now, being the wonderful and PERFECT man that he is, he might- just might- come down off of his Holy Throne and stoop down to take Elena back if she comes crawling back to him after everything she has done to him. How is he even thinking about the possibility of Elena going back to him, let alone deciding if he’ll take her back?
What is this guy even, for real?
