Not the best but still good

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Few people know that this novela was made "al vapor" it was a filler novela to give time to the bigger production after it. These guys were basically filming one day and airing the next.

That said I think they did an amazing job for the short time they had. There were some story failures but over all there was good acting, beautiful sets, and it had a good quality to it.

And they pulled a big twist not often seen in telenovelas. The heroin stayed with the secondary guy. Focus polls showed "Fernando" was popular and so they did that, it made for a interesting change.

Over all congratulations to production and actors for pulling it off under difficult circumstances.
