    It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

    It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

    The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

    Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

    The moral of this series is surprisingly vile. The meanness and baseness of the main 'positive' heroes is simply astounding. In none of the series, the main couple did not cause me such disgust. Sorry for the spoiled mood and wasted time. (translated by Google)

    I watched this after "Gran Hotel" so it took me sometime to warm up to the characters here. I was not entirely sold on the lead pair's romance but the supporting cast is tremendous and makes up for it. The songs throughout the series are great, the sets, clothes everything is beautiful. Overall the story is logical and in line with the characters.Towards the end of season 3 thought they took the Carlos track too far. How is it possible to prevent the things he does? Doesn't he work as a pilot or is he wearing the suit just for fun? I wish they had thought of something different. Looking at the season 4 promos also it was not that great to see Christina again. Her story should have ended leaving in the ambulance. The amazing part of this show is that all the characters have layers. I think there are plenty of issues in understanding between the lead pair that resorting to villains was not entirely necessary...I guess it was just the easier option.

    The best series on Netflix. The longstanding romance with its trials and tribulations between two of the most gorgeous people on TV, the handsome Alberto and the beautiful love of his life, Ana. The story is based on the romances of upper and lower class in a luxurious fashion store Galerias Velvet, in the '50's. The shenanigans of a few other characters offer comedy relief. Most viewers will have watched the first three seasons several times as nothing else on TV compares to this series. Love it! Have suggested this series to many friends and although learning of the subtitles has deterred a few, most have decided once watched that it doesn't pose a problem as the actors do a great job with body language and the soft Spanish lingo is a delight to the ears. I've also picked up a few Spanish phrases. For anyone learning the language it's a great tutorial. The stories are very realistic. The main characters I can identify with as I went through a similar experience.I give this show 10 out of 10. If more viewers would watch I'm sure it could graduate to a long standing series. Looking forward to Season 4. Best TV series ever.

    SPOILER: The show is visually stunning, characters are interesting (Raul De La Riva for instance) and almost everyone is really good looking. My main beef with the show is that it makes it really hard to empathize with the main characters. The premise is that you root for the lovers who almost never have things going their way (at least for too long). But their actions make it hard to root for them. Alberto marries Christina for her money to keep his store afloat. Christina loves Alberto earnestly, yet he continues his flirtations with Ana and one other woman. He cheats on her and treats her badly. And we're still expected to be on his side. Ana is too 'principled' to marry Alberto in a secret ceremony but has no qualms hanging around with a married man, while befriending his unsuspecting wife. It's all a bit hard to reconcile. The characters being 'flawed' is not the problem here, it's that the show carries on strongly making the assumption that you're on their side despite their actions. I personally struggled with forgiving them for their actions and wishing them to be united in spite of all the people they hurt along the way (in many cases unnecessarily and selfishly). Yet they are portrayed as being 'golden'.
