Rosalinda

This was my first telenovela. My sister and I used to watch it on DVD. I was watching it to help me learn Spanish and she was watching 'cause she lives for the drama. I really loved the characters and I wish I could watch it again now in better quality or at the very least, with English subtitles. I wish Netflix or Amazon Prime would get the rights to stream this. #QuarantineReview

Bueno Diaz!

This show is one of my favourite telenovelas. The credit should go to the scriptwriters for the exciting sudden-turn-abouts. But sadly, only 2 points dampens the show: #1. The lack of choice of the music. It's quite irritating to hear the same tunes for 70 episodes in a row. #2. I REALLY hate the close-ups. For example: "Oh no! Rosalinda's got an accident!" *Close-up to Soledad's face*. It's pretty predictable, really. I would like to say that the scene where Paloma gets hit by the car seems so realistic! But the part where Fransisco Quinonez gets shot by Valencia Altamirano needs improvement.

Overall, I give this series 8.5 stars.

Its not just the extremely well acted scenes, or the amazing plot, but the EXTRAPOLATED beauty of Thalia. She does all in this drama/musical soap opera: sing, dance and act, all summed in a marvelous performance. The rest of the cast is very good, but is just the beautiful and gift talented Thalia, who covers the small screen. 8 years had passed since I saw this soap opera,and I remember it every day of my life. I'm just waiting to see Thalia again, in the small or even in the big screen; I hope so. Summing all, if some day the Academy Awards gives an Oscar for the best soap opera of the past century, I'm pretty sure Rosalinda will take home the golden man. If you don't believe me, see it for yourself.

I think this novela is pretty good. It's of course as all Mexican novelas... a poor girl... a rich man... and so on. In the beginning I really liked it, and I love the music of Thalia. But then Rosalinda lost her memory.. and her sister married her husband. I mean, it was a little too unreal... well... I like novelas from Chile, they are better. Like "Pampa Ilusion" and "Romané".

Thalía plays the leading role in her last soap opera, "Rosalinda", in 1998. It has been called the "Titanic" of "telenovelas" and the most-awaited soap of the century. "Rosalinda" brought Thalía back to the small screen after a three-year hiatus. It was sold in approximately 60 countries even before it was written, just because Thalía was secured as the leading lady. She acted by the side of leading man, Venezuelan actor, Fernando Carrillo. The storyline also focused an a poor young girl who grew up to become a rich and refined woman, but with a twist! With "Rosalinda", Thalía, the Queen of "telenovelas", secured the title of Mexico's top actress. It is Thalia's last soap opera, since she has been concentrating in her career as a singer, until she find an adequate next project.
