Beautiful sets and costumes. Each episode ends with a cliff hanger, so I was compelled to keep watching non-stop. I really didn't intend to spend so much continuous time watching this series, but I couldn't pull myself away. Again, amazing clothes.

This is a well written show that was so engaging that I watched the entire season 1 over night.

The characters were engaging, and the twists and turns were a real thrill ride. Pretty decent acting by most of the cast. I look forward to season 2.

...loses its charm quickly.

If you're expecting a murder mystery plot similar to Agatha Christie's novels, you won't find it here. It's more of a soap opera with some silly dialogs and clichés. There is a mystery which was the only thing that kept me but it was solved quickly. Starts good but goes downhill fast and fails to deliver a proper and believable story. It's like Gran Hotel. After the resolve of the main mystery it keeps having "twists" similar to "oh I finally found my lost relative", "oh this character has a secret", "oh this character's secret has a secret" etc

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The cast n the mystery solving was on point. If you're a sucker for dramatic/romance cliche Spanish soaps then this one is a good one :)

This show was all over my Instagram feed which is why i decided to watch it . I actually got bored a little bit in the first episode but as the show progresses it gets more exciting . I really appreciate the gorgeous cinematography and the color editing and the great effort that was put in the decor to make us live in and the feel that time period with the actors . The CGI , although it felt like it wasn't real , but it was well done enough to not bother me , the acting as well was fairly good . What I didn't like is the story line , it felt a bit lost , like they didn't know where they were going with it and it felt like they were setting up a second season because in the beginning were going slow then fast then in the last episode they didn't arrive at a draw which was disappointing for me , I wish the show consisted of more episodes , or the episodes were longer a bit and it had only one season without stretching the story further over multiple seasons .
