The Body of Desire

This is a truly masterful soap opera, the best I've ever seen from dozens in other languages. The plot is excellent, as is the script. The actors should've received awards for their performances. The whole production is incredible, including the locations, costumes, music, camera work and everything else. The director was masterful. There's a great mix of drama, tension, humor and my favorite, mystery. The unabridged version is the one to watch, because the cut version is lacking way too many very informative and interesting parts that add to the intrigue and drama. There's no comparison, this is the best, even with some unnecessary parts and a less-than-peachy ending.

So this was telecasted in India on Firangi TV in Hindi, probably around 2010 or before. I was absolutely hooked to this show at that time. Supernatural settings made it intriguing. But I never finished it.

Everything worked marvelously. Writing, originality casting, characters, acting, directing, ...all could not be better. The two stars made magic on screen. Enough comic relief to match the heavy drama and passion. All the actors "let it all hang out" They dug deep and became real. Evil, good, placid, defensive, irritating, passionate, wise, unwise...not a single emotion was left unattended. I am so spoiled. Searched for another series to watch and had to shut it down it was so dull and rigid and dead. Just actors saying lines. I know I will look for a long tome to find one as good overall as this one. To discover that Lorena Rojas died at such an early age was upsetting. She was a powerhouse and the best match for that amazing Mario Cimarro. I wonder why there are so few series and movies with him as star. He is box office.

This is such a beautifully made romantic drama and enjoyed it ... some of the scenes are pictured with so much emotion and poetic.... i love lorena rojas for her amazing performance(especially in romance and sentiment scenes) and her cuteness.. during her death scene in this film i was crying and when i heard in real life also she passed away at such young age ,i felt sad.. mario cimarro was the coolest actor perfect for the role .....Diana Osorio as valeria is so beautiful. watch it if you love sensitive love stories...with supernatural fantasy

Great movie! Good performance from the actors! Interesting theme.
