That"s right, we"re talking about Malecthe blossoming love between Shadowhunter Alec Lightwood (Matthew Daddario) and centuries-old warlock Magnus Bane (Harry Shum Jr.) that has been explored throughout Cassandra Clare"s book series on which the TV show is based.

Don"t worryjust because there wasn"t any Malec action in the series debut doesn"t mean there won"t be any. In fact, episode 12 of the series is called "Malec"but you won"t have to wait that long to see the two characters grow closer. The two actors tell E! News that they"re really proud of how they portrayed the beginning stages of their romance, and they think fans will be happy to watch it develop as the weeks go on.
