Secreto de amor

This telenovela may not rank as one of the all-time greats but it was a very entertaining and relatively fast paced novela. The writing is not the greatest and the plots are not always thought out as well as they could have been. On the positive side it had some good performances by Aura Cristina Geithner as Barbara and Astrid Gruber as Vilma and also featured Carla Ortiz as the beautiful Andrea. Also this novela had the return of Ariel Lopez Padilla to telenovelas since the scandal and this was one of his best performances. On the down side the leads played by Scarlet Ortiz and Jorge Aravenna were not as exactly a compelling couple which a telenovela should have and that may be the biggest weakness of the show. Overall the show had humor in it as well and it featured some comical moments and even the villains didn't always take themselves so seriously and in this case it worked. So overall I would say it is pretty good though not great and I would give it a "B" if I were grading it and at least it could keep you entertained for an hour.

Secreto de amor was a very good telenovela with a very wonderful storyline. It has met with success in many countries around the world. Scarlet Ortiz, Aura Christina and Jorge Pila did a wonderful job. Maybe they should have chosen somebody else to play Carlos Raul other than Jorge Aravena but his performance wasn't that bad. The bad thing with this telenovela was the opening sequence which was just awful!!! They still credited characters who had already died like Elluz Peraza who played Maria Clara's mother she died in the third episode. The ending was also awful some pictures and words were entangled together. In this areas they did not do it justice. At least they could have done something similar to the opening sequence of Cuando Seas Mia or at least have shown some of the wonderful beaches and sceneries of Miami where it was filmed. Otherwise the telenovella was great!!!

"Secreto de Amor" is the best telenovela, I have ever watched. Scarlet Ortiz, Jorge Aravena and Yul Burkle did a good job in this novela, the theme song is catchy and is performed by Joan Sebastian(Joan Sebastian co-starred with Maribel Guadia en "Tu y Yo" in 1996). I give this telenovela **********out of**********.

I've watched quite a number of telenovelas from Mexico and Venezuela. I give two thumbs up to MIS TRES HERMANAS! Juana's Miracle was ok, and Cuando Seas Mias was not too bad.

However, Secreto de Amor was really bad. I agree with Luis, the plot was ridiculous! I watched it for the sake of Scarlet Ortiz. I'm sorry for the other actors.... the acting was bad. I don't feel the emotions when they cried. It was a huge different when i watched MIS TRES HERMANAS... i felt soooo touched! The plot was good and the acting was real.

I can't imagined having irrational and immature boyfriend / husband like CARLOS RAUL.... Pity him!!!

excellent.i give it a thumbs up.i enjoy every bit of this telenova and wish it could even be longer.i give a thumbs up for Lesandro who is so real in his acting,Scarlet ,for acting like one able to bear real temptations and suffering.thumbs up for Barbara too,she is so beautiful.i must say i luv this telenova and would love to see scarlet married to Carlos ,her heart's desire after all she has gone through,though Lesandro's love for her is real.This telenova though sometimes brings with it a lot of pain especially when scarlet is so frequently accused of what she hasn't done and when Lesandro is saddened by the fact that he might not end up marrying Scarlet.
