Todas las veces que nos enamoramos

(Rating. 5.5/10) This series has some great ideas, I especially liked how they jumped between the past and the present. I also liked how they told the story through different memories and jumps in time. But I was missing rawness, authenticity and boldness. The storytelling felt superficial and almost mechanical. I was left wanting to see more vulnerability and raw emotions from the characters.

This is also one of those series that would work excellently with a clear beginning and an end. Like a diary of someone's life for someone else to read. But it felt like the series ended halfway through the diary. I'm guessing this is Netflix's way of leaving the possibility of a second season open. Unfortunately, that doesn't do this series justice.

Finaly something real and not pathetic. This is exactly how we lived at the end of 20th and first decade of 21st century. Even those of us who studed engineering, low or business, were into movies, hanging out with our friends, going out to small bars, big parties and mayor openings. Hooking up as much as possible. And always being into someone, hurting over someone and still going out and having fun.. having friends that were in absolute center of our life and shared with them everything. Living both small and big life in the same time. It's a bit nostalgic, specially when I heard "Me Cago En El Amor".. But mostly, I like it because its true. The characters didn't feel liked edited to fit into a box or "message". Acting and directing is very good and natural and made me feel I was there with them.

The serie is kind of cute, but gets too repetitive and boring over the episodes. The time jumps in the serie are too fast and it is hard to get involved with the characters.

Besides that, it is a cute serie to let it playing in the background during doing something else.

In addition, the conversations in the series are just unreal and the way the script evolves makes no sense. I finished and did not get the sense of the history or why this serie was made. The acting from the main character ( Georgiana) was really good though.

To resume: cute and boring piece, not worth watching it for real.

Honestly I liked the first episode but as the story went on I got bored of the main characters. Two persons having a big ego and in the same time always feeling insecure and needy for approval. Wanting to be the center of attention everytime despite who gets hurt. How is this story supposed to be about love? The story starts in 2004 and continues in 2022 and they are the same 20 year-olds. Like a day hasn't gone by. In many times I ended up angry-dissapointed and bored at the same time. I enjoyed more the characters of Himena and Da.

I thought to stop watching the show but I was curious to see where all this is going. Well surprise surprise..nowhere!

I have just got through this Netflix series over the space of two days and I have to say I enjoyed it despite the fact that a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense but it is apparently 'based on a true story' so who am I to doubt the veracity of this tale?

It is about the on-off relationship of Julio and Irene over the course of twenty years, it starts off in 2004 with Irene who is new to Madrid as she leaves small town Castellon and her first love behind to get stuck into her film studies degree at university.

Fate takes a hand as she meets Argentinian Julio - as short as he is and a mix of a young Jeremy Kyle and a third rate boyband member - he seems to have a unique power of people wanting to have sex with him and all he has to do is take an item of clothing off and he is having sex with someone or someone wanting to have sex with him. Irene falls under the spell alongside everyone else who crosses his path and as they go home on the train about to have their first kiss, they get caught up in the 2004 Madrid Train Bombing - which they both survive but Irene loses sight in one eye.

The show then is about their complicated relationship, Julio's angst as an actor and as an irresistible heartthrob of a man which seems to about to upend his life as he begins his road to stardom, Irene who is dumped and ignored at will, she shares the story with the annoying gay friend and the fat best friend who seems to be the glue that holds the gang together.

The show goes to and forth between 2004 and 2022. Like I said, it doesn't make that much sense and that Julio can just turn up in a bar, take his shirt off and has sex with strangers ten minutes later starts becoming hard to believe after an episode or two. The co-protoganist - Irene is cute and bright but as daft and as selfish as Julio as she spends her time getting her heart broken, breaking hearts in return and getting messed about.

It's well acted and like I said, kept me watching until the end so I think 7/10 is a fair score but as long as you can put aside some of the unrealistic scenes then you will be able to enjoy it for what it is.
