What Life Took from Me

This is one of the few telenovelas that serve some real lessons to the audience, nowadays it's all about drugs, sex, money laundry this and that but with this one, almost every character had something to tell. I wish it was still on Netflix so I can binge watch again. What a novel, the crew and the cast did such amazing job.

This series is a remake of 80s hit, Bodas De Odio, and 2004 Amor Real. So far, this series doesn't even come close to Amor Real. The actress is too slutty to be innocent Matilde, or in this case, Monserat. Her acting sucks and her fake breasts do nothing to favor her. I have watched Amor Real four times already, and every time it is a joy to watch. Seeing one episode of this "entertainment" is excruciating. Do not waste your time watching this garbage. Go to YouTube and watch Amor Real; trust me, it wont disappoint. Now that is a series that is epic and is worth watching. Adela Noriega does a wonderful job as the innocent Matilde. Fernando Colunga does a great job as Manuel, the loving husband who's world crashes down when he discovers Matilde's deceptions, and Mauricio Islas is an enchanting Adolfo Solis, who loves Matilde to death. Now that is a series, not this garbage

I don't really like this show it is the same old drama TV show that would be on MTV except without the "reality" part in it. It uses the same old TV romance tactics the 2 Guys and 1 Girl. Which is so Cliché it could have a lot more potential if it was more original you could find hundreds of shows and movies based on romance about 1 girl and 2 guys wanting her which is for sure to stir up drama. I think the potential of the actors could be so much more if they just had good show script writers that probably thought of a more unique plot. Then the show would be a good drama show. The Actors are good but the plot is not as good and could use some improvements.

Ok I'm new to the Novelas I'll admit. And I watched this in Spanish with English subtitles. But we binge watched the whole 190 episode in a week that's how addictive it was. I thought it was very well written and incredibly well acted. I saw two bad reviews and I don't get that at all. It was nothing like I've ever seen on American TV. I've seen the lead Actress and Actor before and I think they're amazing as was the whole cast. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster. Maybe I need to see a lot more novelas to compare it to but I've seen a lot of movies and TV and I think this was one of the best things I've ever seen. Bravo to everyone involved.

At first, I realized that the relationship between Montserrat and Alejandro was destructive. I also saw some scenes where Alejandro abused Montserrat out of jealousy. The protagonist suffers from emotional codependency due to pressure from her mother, Graciela, stemming from her financial ambition. The title of the television series is a clear reference to the fact that life robbed her of José Luis, Montserrat's true love, and it's a shame that the ending was left with questions and theories after José Luis's death.
