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.

"Pasion De Gavilanes" is the best Spanish-speaking soap that I've seen so far. The casting was perfect, the story engaging and the love scenes beautiful. The Sara&Franco romance was quite a surprise and the actors playing them; Natasha Klauss and Michel Brown, were really charismatic and managed to steal the show from the other leads and conquer my heart. After "Pasion De Gavilanes" Danna Garcia, Paola Rey, Mario Cimarro and Juan Alfonso Baptista went on to star in their own respective "telenovelas". I don't know why Natasha Klauss and Michel Brown have still not gotten their own "telenovela". I fervently wished that Telemundo would produce a soap with these two actors again as leads. I know that I for one wouldn't have missed an episode.

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.

If you like the comment that Venus said about this show. You can watch it again. You can watch Pasion DE Gavilanes at 1:00 pm pacific standard time in Telemundo. This show is great and you should watch it even is you don't speak Spanish fluently. I love this story very much. And I hope you all will like it because it has touched my heart and I know it is going to touch yours. This story is about three brothers who lost their beloved sister when was treat badly my her lover's family. They become angry and seek revenge. However, they did not find it but they found love. This soap opera is a remake of a 1994 soap opera called Las Aguas mansas. I have not watched that soap but hopefully it is as good as this soap.
