Just about everything that could go wrong on a telenovela did with this one. I am not sure how to explain it but almost every character I liked had a bad ending and most of the ones I didn't like had a good ending or at least one better than they deserved.
Gretel Valdez is very good looking and was impressive in the role of the heroine Lucia. Later on she did "Rebelde" where she was also terrific.
Osvaldo Rios was tremendous in the role of Alejandro Valderrama and this was the best male character on the show. Unfortunately circumstances caused the character to not be used to the highest potential.
The legal issues off camera were one of the many things that started this telenovela downhill from whence it never bounced back.
The main villains on the show were played by Claudia Islas and Maritza Rodriguez. Claudia Islas did a good job in "Corazon Salvaje" and her performance as Doña Enriquetta was equally impressive. The rivalry between the characters Alejandro and Enriquetta was one of the few bright spots on the show.
Maritza Rodriguez was not impressive at least in my opinion. In spite of the character's apparent homicidal abilities it was ridiculous. The character Cristal obviously wasn't even smart enough to swat a fly and yet the writers of this show would like us to believe she was so dangerous. Her character had a "better" ending than she deserved.
Ariel Lopez Padilla played the identical twin characters Ernesto and Romulo and I disagree with the earlier review that stated these characters were totally different. To me it seemed they were very similar in that they were usually good but sometimes did things that were not right. Overall he did a pretty good job under the circumstances.
Another rare bright spot was Desideria deCaro who played the cousin of the Lezama family called Patricia. She played the villain earlier in the Venezuelan novela called "Engañada" and I really enjoyed her performance in that as well. Patricia was slightly more sympathetic but usually tended to be self-serving and on balance was a villain.
Actually if Desideria de Caro had been on the show at the beginning it would have improved the show. She is also very beautiful.
Unfortunately the show was badly written and they eliminated some of the more interesting characters in the half-way part. It pretty much killed whatever the show had that was worthwhile.
