User Reviews

One of the best

This Telenovela is TOTALLY amazing. The chemistry between Alvaro and Bea is incredible, thank god they're a real couple. Even though this Telenovela was really long, but I enjoyed every second of it, Alvaro is so handsome, I really really like him, as for Bea, even before she transforms to a beautiful lady, in my opinion she was beautiful. She has this thing that makes you like her a lot no matter what.

The plot is great, I like the story, it's kinda the same story as ugly Betty with a lot of development of course. I recommend everyone to watch it. It's really worth watching. I can watch it over and over again and never get bored. There 're a lot of great scenes that you'll enjoy, beautiful characters, great acting, good music, happy ending and a love story that turns to a real love story between the two lead actors, so the chemistry is real and it gave this telenovela sparks.

After Alvaro and Bea's wedding, the Telenovela wasn't over, 2 new lead actors came to the scene with a new story and a little bit different plot ....it wasn't as good as the first story but this new one was OK....so it's sort of 2 telenovelas in one.
