Eine perfekte Geschichte

I have watched this in one sitting. I am not still over how beautiful everything in this show is. It is very nice to watch. It was wonderful to watch these two people fall in love. I have the impression that I have never seen such pure and great love on the screen. The actors matched each other so well that they managed to convey the love between the characters in the most realistic way. I have the impression that they transferred their love from the stage to us. I am enchanted by the beauty of this show. There is not a thing I didn't like about this series and I would give anything to be able to watch it again for the first time and feel that love again.

Anna Castillo is wonderful as Margot and Álvaro Mel is equally wonderful as David. These two have amazing chemistry in this slow burn romance that starts out as a mutually beneficial relationship that turns into genuine friendship and then love.

As a romantic I enjoyed every minute of these two falling in love and I also enjoyed the celebration (even though it was joked about) of a heteronormative relationship. It was sweet and natural and young and fresh and I think romantics like me will love it.

The cast was appropriately small, which gave the story an intimate feel, particularly on the vacation in Greece. David is a carefree character who lives on his best friend's couch, has three part-time jobs and just got dumped by the lovely but shallow Idoia. Margot is a repressed heiress who is being patronized in the boardroom and literally runs away from her wedding and controlling mother after a panic attack. These two meet by chance in a bar, when Margot's sisters take her out dancing. David, as the bar tender, kindly fills her shot glass with water...when her sister's ignore her "no" and insist they all do shots together. When Margot picks up her drunk sister's phone at the bar the next day...she witnesses Idoia's strange pull on David and steps in to help as a good deed. This begins a beautiful friendship. The two agree to help each other get their significant others back, which includes Margot helping David become an adult and David helping Margot loosen up.

These two really light up the screen with their chemistry and the gorgeous Greek backdrop sets the mood for their developing feelings. The sets and wardrobe were well done and it was fun to see a neighborhood festival in Spain. In the end I liked that the message wasn't about beauty or money...although I think both David and Margot are beautiful.

My one and only note is that the ending was the oddest ending I have ever seen for a romantic comedy and it left some confusion for certain watchers as to what actually happen at the end. I think romantics will love this limited run series based on the books by Elisabet Benavent (which I wish they would translate into English!), I strongly recommend.

This review is based on watching the series in it's original Spanish language with English subtitles.

This series is a reminder of how small things can make a big difference. If someone tells me to watch a movie about how a poor boy and a rich girl fall in love, I'd rather find an excuse. The film is first and foremost incredibly good because the characters immediately creep into your heart, even the most negative ones. The film was also brave in that it repeatedly showed how much sooner the romance could have been born or how easily it could have been broken off forever by an insignificant little decision, comment or lack thereof.

We knew from the first moment that the film was going to have a happy ending, so we were able to enjoy the journey all the way through, how the two young people struggle, first and foremost with themselves, to get there.

This emotional, funny, intriguing and passionate mini series is exactly what I needed this summer. Cast is amazing, chemistry between Margot & David inspiring and contagious.

Double ending made good point how life is all about little things, and those create our destiny. There is quite few hot scenes that added some edge to the story, but those were made with a good taste, not too much, not too little. For me personally actors succeeded to transfer energy and fire through the screen. I wish there was season 2 but also everything what needed to be told is told. I recommend to everyone who is into beautiful summer romance story.

This show is so adorable! I'm a huge fan of rom coms and beach reads and this is perfect in that genre.

The casting is really well done. They have great chemistry and play their respective parts really well but are also better together. The direction is also great.

If you want good scenery- this is for you! The scene set ups are gorgeous.

It's bit of a slow burn. It's only 5 episodes but goes fast. But you really feel it. So I get the oxymoron of slow burn fast show ha. But you'll get it.

There are some things I'm not 100% on but that's to be expected. I'm not sure if it's being an American audience or just in general. I did spend a summer in Madrid forever ago so there is some nostalgia but very little shown, more so just the feeling. Some of the hairstyles and clothes are definitely more European.

It's adorable. The dubbing isn't great. But it's not distracting when you get into it.

A few complaints- the alternate endings don't translate as well with dubbing, but even if the did it should have been another episode. Like oh penultimate "what could have happened" and last "what does".

I get sad when something I love ends that's so clearly wrapped up as a miniseries. I really just wanted more. They rushed a lot near the end.

I'd say we got to see why his relationship wasn't great but didn't know her reasoning til the end. Had I known more upfront it would have kept me from conjectures that made me not pay attention. The beginning makes me root for them.

But again, so great. Definitely worth like 4 hours of your time!
