Pasión de Gavilanes

I watched this novela when I was very young and actually re watched it again during the pandemic in 2021. It is without a doubt one of the best telenovelas I have ever watched in my life, it had amazing cast that nailed their characters perfectly especially the grandpa (Jorge Cao) they also had awesome chemistry especially Sarita and Franco (Natasha and Michel) plus the storyline was extremely unique and had some twists and turns

You can imagine, my excitement when I learned that they was a revival in the works in late 2021 but the sad truth is that season 2 is extremely boring, dull and lacks the great chemistry that set apart season 1 from the rest. I would have given it a 10/10 rating but season 2 has ruined everything for me.

I can't stop watch. Phenomenon!!! One of the best novelas I ever watched!!!

This soap opera is currently showing in Malaysia and we are all clearly enjoying it! The background setup is beautiful and so are the characters... It has its heated and humorous moments. I consider this telenovela to be one of the best ones I've seen. It definitely grabbed the prize for best pictures to me, not to mention best kisses.. Even the part before the commercials are attention grabbers.. If only hey sold the CD here i'd buy it!!!

The story line pretty much revolves around three drop-dead gorgeous brothers and their relationships in a close-knit community.. Lots of horses and horsing around.. I think they fall for the three stunning sisters (a coincidence too obvious to ignore..).. Kinda tacky but i seriously hope they get together. Watch their developments throughout the whole show...^_^

If you're looking for something steamy and a tickler, this is the soap opera for you! (If you want tear-jerking scenes, you're better suited to Korean series.. I've wasted too many tears on those just to see the leading stars die in one way or another...)

Pasion DE Gavilanes or Pasion DE Amor as shown here in the Philippines is a very distinct and one of a kind telenovela. Though the Philippines have been exposed to all kinds of Spanish/Mexican telenovelas, this one touched my heart. Why? Well because of the following reasons: 1. The story does not revolve in one character only. Each of the love story as well as the history of the telenovela takes turn in the camera allowing viewers to see the picture as a whole and not just the love scene.

2. Each character have strong and distinct personalities that you would not get tired of watching. Many viewers could identify themselves in the characters of the telenovela.

3. The story is unique and not boring. Every episode has its unique twists and turns.

4. The chemistry among the characters are sizzling hot!! **Unfortunately, the show is shown every afternoon and I am not able to catch it everyday. I just hope that I could find a DVD copy of this with English subtitle...

Only talking about the original 2003 telenovela. The sequel can (and should) be skipped and it's totally fine. The story is introduced and told clearly with 4 distinctive arcs that make the plot easy to follow. The characters are well defined and the latter half of the story is amazingly well told and displayed. The villains are so hateable that you end up rooting for the protagonists even when they're not that likeable, but that's also good - no need for the clichéd superhero telenovela male protagonist (even though Juan Reyes sort of is that, but he does have a personality and his character has motivations). The setting is a bit generic (which is why many people wrongly believe this telenovela to be Mexican), and it may have needed a bit more fun - but overall it's great and a true testament to its own success. Season 2 deserves a separate not too friendly review.
