El manantial

Soaps from Mexico are so predictable including this one .But this one has also charming actors and great producer Carla Estrada who knows what"s doing.Adela Noruega.Mauricio Islas ,Daniela Romo and Mauricio Islas are right choice for family Ramirez and Valdez. Not bad but anyway 3 of 5.

Recently novelas have become almost comical with their silly plotlines and hip locales. I like this one that is set in rural Mexico. Are some of the plotlines a bit extreme, well of course, this is a novela but it is well written with a leading man who although could use more backbone, is intelligent enough to not believe everything he is told. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Mexican novelas.

This is a complete rehash of CANAVERAL DE PASIONES...from the plot line to most of the characters... Canaveral is a much greater novela with better acting, scenery, direction and dialogue... How can this novela be out on DVD, but classics like CANAVERAL be kept hidden away...? Why is it that they release all the awful novelas on DVD and keep the true gems from the public?

El Manantial had some interesting scenes and most of those were from the original, Canaveral... there's something about it that I don't like... maybe because i've seen the TRUE ORIGINAL and this cheap version doesn't do anything for me...
