GREAT

I have never been a fan of soap operas in English or Spanish but I got interested in this one after seeing William Levy so after catching it on spanish broadcast station I became intrigued but since I didn't speak spanish, I simply just watched and waited for scenes containing William but I wanted to know more about the story so I bought the DVD and now watch it with English subtitles. So far, I'm completely hooked and I now get how so many people get caught up in the intensity of soap operas and this one is well done. The characters are intense, the storyline keeps pulling me in and the scenes with William are gorgeous. All in all, a great telenovela!

Even though some excellent scenes from the original production were not included, this condensation was well done. I was afraid that the original soundtrack was not going to be included but I was happy to watch this DVD thinking that it was almost as if I was watching the original. I wish the producers would have added some of the romantic scenes that were cut out even if we have to pay a little bit more. To me this soap opera has been the best I have ever seen in years and I will treasure this DVD. La actuacion the William Levy es la mas natural, la mas romantica que he visto. Esta pareja tiene mucha quimica y me encanta como trabajan juntos.

It's best story ever I realy love it beautiful william was very good actor in this story and even Jackie was beautiful they was perfect couple and the writer was good too the love story the kind the family the romance everything was good and especialy william the way he act and I hope for him more and more and see him in hollywood because he deserve that and thanks to him and Jackie make the story perfect I realy enjoy it and watched it 4 times. thank you willy and Jackie I recommend everybody to buy it or watch it. excellent good luck william in your life.

When industrial magnate Antonio Lombardo dies in a car accident, he leaves everything to his younger son Alejandro. But Bruno, the jealous half-brother, plots to murder Alejandro and take over the business. His scheme partially works and Alejandro survives a terrible accident only to discover to his surprise that he is married to Maria Jose, a girl who was deceived by Bruno as part of his nefarious scheme. Doctors tell Alejandro he suffers from memory loss but he is convinced he never met Maria Jose before and goes in search of the truth. Alejandro is played by William Levy, who makes Brad Pitt look like Ernest Borgnine. This has it all: a fake marriage, identical twins, chemically induced amnesia, car wrecks, evil plotters, and lots of "who's your daddy?" I love over-the-top melodrama and romance, and I understand that telenovelas are heavily edited versions of TV soaps. Granted, some of that editing is choppy but we can easily fill in the blanks and race along with our beleaguered hero and heroine, knowing that somewhere, somehow, they will end up in each other's arms; villains vanquished and love will prevail in the end. What fun! I first checked this out from the city library but was delighted to see it was available on Amazon.com, so I've happily added it to my library.

William Levy did excellent in this show. His step brother is so jealous, greedy and just plain evil. He ends up with a lying wife who betrays him a few times yet William Levy's character is so compassionate and forgiving. He even puts up with his lying in-laws who are so complicated. Not to mention his mother-in-law who is in love with a nutty doctor, they end up brain washing William Levy's wife and reprogramming her into living the life of her twin sister. Very entertaining, especially the part where stranded in the Island with a little boy Toby.

The editing of the series should have had more thought other than how do we fit 95 episodes into 4 DVDs. There were many story lines and scenes that were needed to advance the beautiful story of Alejandro and Maria Jose that were not included in the DVDs and too many peripheral story lines that should have been cut instead. I am trying to learn how to speak Spanish and it was helpful to see it with the English subtitles. It was a good tool for me when I viewed the whole series in Spanish on another medium and I was able to understand about 50% of the story and I loved the series even more so when I saw it all. William Levy and Jacqueline Bracamontes do have great chemistry together. She did a pretty good job for her first soap opera.
