La fea más bella

when i first saw this show on the Spanish channel here in the u.s.a. i was immediately sucked into the show. not only is the theme song so good but the casting is excellent. everything in this show is top quality. i don't know why people say it's low quality. i see nothing low quality.. maybe it's there TV hahah. but no really this show is my favorite and i am so interested in everything this show has to offer. i don't want to name the casting because i forget how to spell there names but i got to say the casting and the main character are superb. i love the way the main character lety acts. when she gets nervous she starts twitching. i just thought it was so funny. i also love the pace of this show. everything is so nice and smooth. everybody in the show looks perfect for the roles. i also love the so called "ugly group" they are so funny and they have this awesome design. i just can't explain everything here.. i give this novela a high rating. also i heard this was a remake of several shows with the same theme. i never saw them and if i did now i probably wouldn't like them. since i saw this one first.

Yes, this remake is funnier than the original, but hasn't anybody noticed how the producer's decision to change the personality of certain characters actually changes the whole story??? In the original version, Betty is an incredibly smart girl, and gets really nervous around people, obviously because her father kept her from socializing..ever. But over all those nerves, you could see her intelligence, there was no doubt about that. But this version just changed the whole thing. Angelica Vale makes the character sound childish, instead of nervous. That goofy laugh doesn't help. Betty's laugh made her seem geeky, which was the whole point, but Letty's laugh makes her seem stupid. Honestly, seeing Lety act so ignorant makes it impossible to see her as a smart girl. I love Angelica Vale, by the way, and I blame the producers and directors for this one. Same thing with Lety's mom...the original version made it clear that Betty acted like her father and got her features from his side of the family including her laugh, and Julia, her mom was the normal one, which, believe it or not, helped the story a lot, but making Julieta, Lety's mom, the goofy one in this version just doesn't make it. The story is funny, but I just don't buy it. By the way, adding kids to the story-bad idea.

I started watching the 'novela' because I loved "Betty La Fea", the original Colombian version. But lately, it has become so stupid and ridiculous, that the best description I can think of is "TRASH"!!!! The characters are exaggerated, the plot is ridiculous, and chapters come and chapters go, and they are still dealing with the same situation. It's a shame, 'cause I've seen lots and lots of excellent Mexican productions in the past, but this one has failed. I first thought it was going to be a hit, but for the last month or so I have forced myself to watch it, and today was the worse: I just decided not to watch it anymore.

My hubby and I watch this novella every night, we don't miss it. I can't wait to see what happens. Alisia F, drives me insane, just the way she acts. I love the friends of Lety's they crack me up. I don't want to see Lety hurt at all by Fernado. I thought it was so great seeing Lety and Alisia sing on Cauntando Por Un Sueno. It was great. I'm sorry if I spelled some names and things wrong. My writing in Spanish isn't that great. This Novella has me laughing all the way through. My husband is from Oaxaca Mexico, and we have watched other novellas before, but this is by far the best so far. All the characters are the greatest. I enjoy it, and plan on watching it till the end.

I LOVE IT! People have criticized it because it is a remake of the Colombian version. I have been watching soaps all my life and I can assure you that this version is much funnier and better. The colombian soap was to serious and sometimes dry. This one makes you laugh, the characters are very well known and experienced. This novel has gotten better ratings and more fans than the original one!! I hope this one won't be as long as the original one as it dragged for several months and I lost some interest in it.

Jaime Camil is a gorgeous and sexy man! The producer could have not picked a better actor.

I love it and will buy it when it comes out on DVD!!
