Just Watching Fernando Colunga
lia000271 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This telenovela basically is the same like other novelas dragging story, boring side stories, triangle/square love-story, and suave Fernando Colunga as a plus add-on.

The boring story started with the middle-age characters the heroine is Julia whom is weak-minded but kind-hearted, her husband Eladio is the ruthless business man whom loving his families a lot, the ex-boyfriend of Julia is the manipulator two-faced man Arturo with his money-lover wife Nina. Julia was not happily married with Eladio since she was still in love with Arturo whom betraying their love and impregnated other girl when they were still young resulted Arturo had to marry that girl and Julia marrying Eladio. Eladio knew of his wife's feeling that his wife never loved him hence he often slept with other women. Their child David whom overly loved by Julia fell in love with Regina Arturo's and Nina's child, David was being raised by his ruthless father for his own good but as usual melodramatic queen named Julia didn't like it and felt Eladio is darn cruel and overly possessive to her and David. To further ado the very dragging plot Eladio and Julia could fix their whole marriage-deal and found new love on their marriage life but because Eladio lied to Julia about his illegitimate son Franco whom brought by Eladio in his house as his god-son Julia felt upset after finding out the truth of course with the help of her evil dad and Arturo moreover the bastard-son's mom also working in Eladio's place made Julia divorced Eladio.

The characters' development of this drama is surprisingly sucks. Julia at first known to be a good tophy wife, a loving mother but after the divorce she get back with her son's girlfriend father resulted her son losing his only true-love but her overly stupid and weak-minded mind were all still there and her self-righteous act is a hypocrite way of showing no one can act wrong to her but if she made mistakes then it's ok everyone will forgive her since she is soooo right. Eladio is my favourite character at first he was ruthless, cunning, womaniser but then I realised that he acted that way because he was starting from the scratch building his business unlike Julia and Arturo who born from rich parents hence he knew big deal of being at the bottom of the world without anyone can helping you and his possessive way to his wife an act of showing his love since he knew his wife never loved him. After he became a real-couple with Julia he became stupid too and dense because he wanted to show to his ex-wife Julia that he also can act like a decent human-being but still Julia took revenge by getting back with Arturo leaving him heart-broken. Arturo the manipulator of many people' lives including his wife and children directly divorcing Nina when he knew Julia is going to get divorce.

If I am to typing the complicated story it will take up until pages so this telenovela basically comes alive because of Fernando's handsome and charismatic acting, i will not watch it if Colunga didn't act as the main actor here. The end.

I am really amazed by the mexican telenovelas , this is one such my most fav one... the story and the way the screenplay is created is just awesome... fernanda colunga gives a performance of lifetime . His character is one of the most beautifully developed character ever and he gave life to it .Susana gonzales as julio is just so beautiful , her character is complex character , her ignorance and good nature is mixed with pride,vanity ,guilt ,fear and being manipulated by her father . Julio loves arthuro but marries eladio and being indifferent to him eladio loves julio so much but her indifference drives him crazy and become overprotective and abusive husband and also commits infidelity. Arturo being saturated with his marriage life and once a lover of julio chases julio who because of her indifference to her huband and her husband protectiveness still looking for happiness reciprocates arturo advances.. but its a forbidden love . Julio realises her indifference is driving her husband crazy and finally decides to give eladio a chance . Eladio also changes his attitude slowly his craziness and becomes a very good man which leads to julio fall in love with eladio , and both startedto live happily for some time. But eladio past mistakes haunts him back and arturo uses all tricks to seperate eladio and julio which eventually leads to divorce...

now a confused julio has to choose between eladio and arturo .... and the ending is perfect with eladio and julio get together after all problems..

i just love this story and all emotional scenes beautifully acted by all actors , especially the sentiment scenes between julio and eladio , both these roles are suits perfectly for fernando colunga and susana gonzales and they have given wonderful perfomance.....

fernando colunga is like one man army his suave,charm. Energy and screen presence is what makes this series such a awesome experience to watch one scene in particular around 40th episode when both families attend a dinner which is crashed by fernando colunga . Its my fav scene .. Susana is so beautiful and portrays lot of emotion to a complex character ...she has done awesome job... i dont understand why jorge salinas name is first in title , he is like a two faced villain and his character is so corrupted ,in contrast fernando collunga character despite his mistakes is honest .
