Rubí

Ok but among all the Rubí remakes? The 2004 Bárbara Mori version + the 2010 Filipino adaptation easily top the list.

Mori's Rubí? ICONIC. Way more intense and layered than Angelica Panganiban's sassy, maldita take (which was fun, don't get me wrong). But Mori's performance?? You feel it. She's manipulative, beautiful, dangerous, and somehow realistically evil. Like, you lowkey get her.

Let's be real, no one's 100% kind or good all the time. We've all had a lil Rubí moment. Maybe not as dramatic or as evil as she is, but still. That's what makes this version hit so hard. It's messy, fun, terrifying, and sometimes even funny.

Unlike Panganiban's take, which added some soul, very on-brand for a typical Pinoy plot twist where the villain is "redeemed", Mori's Rubí stays true to the character. Because let's be honest, evil people rarely change.

Also, shoutout to this series for flipping the script. It gave us a lead character who wasn't a sweet little angel. She was morally gray, and the star. A total game-changer for telenovelas.

For me? 2004 Rubí will always be the version. The blueprint.

PS. The English dubbed version is now on YouTube so RUN.

i must say that its great telenovela here in q8 we all watch it , i like hector because he is Argentinian and he is very hansom , the story is very complicated and this make people eager 2 watch the next episode .the heroes are very good actors .the setting was very nice especially in cancun when i see this serial i really want to visit Mexico to see the beautiful places there . what makes me mad about this telenovela is the way it talks about love we see that rubi is an evil but when it comes to love she is completely another person she sacrifice everything for his sake she even compromise all her dreams for the only man in her life . i think hector is avery poor and sad guy because at the end he will lose it all.

I must say that Rubi is one of my favorites soaps! Everything was great, I've no words to describe it, it's just amazing!!! I congratulate all the actors and actresses who participate in this soap and made it so wonderful, especially Barbara Mori who made a wonderful performance. It's obvious that Rubi is different from all the other soaps, because the main heroine Rubi is a bad woman, also, the ending was completely different and surprising (I was chocked). But in spite of that, I think that Rubi is the best soap till now. In my opinion, Rubi has all the ingredients of a Hollywood script (greed, hypocrisy, selfishness, desire...) I wish that they would be another Rubi 2!!!

I love rubi.but l think the ending was supposed to be better.she was supposed to be alone and rich.

Rubì was very amazing, the best novel I've ever seen, Barbara Mori made her debut in Televisa with Rubi and she did it very good. Also Jacqueline Bracamontes made a good performance as the suffered Maribel. This novel made a hit so much that the producers decided to make a sequel, now the bad girl will be her sister's daughter Fernanda, I hope the second part is better than the original. Rubì won all the awards in the novels awards, "Best Actress" for Barbara Mori as Rubì, "Best Actor" for Eduardo Santamarina as Alejandro, Best Supporting Actress for Ana Martin as Rubì's mother Refugio, Best theme song "La Descarada" for singer Reyli.
