I don't speak Spanish so I watched this with subtitles on Netflix. It made no difference to my enjoyment cos I loved it! It's gripping. The main character Altragracia is truly awesome and every scene with her is a delight to watch. The story line is good and the show is not over the top like many other telenovelas, and has a positive message. Many scenes are very nicely done, with lots of sensitive dialogue and situations. There were times when I physically cried (and I'm a guy). I was emotionally moved by many episodes and blown away by some scenes. The camera work is spot on - I love how some of the shots are done with a faded foreground object (plants, flowers etc) whilst the characters in the background are totally focused. Episode 89 took my breath away. Sadly, the last 10-15 episodes were a bit of a mess, and showed some holes in the plot, but overall, I feel empty now that I have just finished the last of the 120 episodes.

Awesome!
