Rosalinda

Bueno Diaz!

This show is one of my favourite telenovelas. The credit should go to the scriptwriters for the exciting sudden-turn-abouts. But sadly, only 2 points dampens the show: #1. The lack of choice of the music. It's quite irritating to hear the same tunes for 70 episodes in a row. #2. I REALLY hate the close-ups. For example: "Oh no! Rosalinda's got an accident!" *Close-up to Soledad's face*. It's pretty predictable, really. I would like to say that the scene where Paloma gets hit by the car seems so realistic! But the part where Fransisco Quinonez gets shot by Valencia Altamirano needs improvement.

Overall, I give this series 8.5 stars.

This was my first telenovela. My sister and I used to watch it on DVD. I was watching it to help me learn Spanish and she was watching 'cause she lives for the drama. I really loved the characters and I wish I could watch it again now in better quality or at the very least, with English subtitles. I wish Netflix or Amazon Prime would get the rights to stream this. #QuarantineReview

I had a couple of days of school my mum and sister-in-law loved it i got into it and just adored it. it was sad but still makes you jump and scream at the TV screen i cant believe the cant see Rosalinda her husband nearly ran her over. still cant see her. its so sad how she loses her mind. its a show to die for try and watch it some day. first of all i thought boring. its really good her own cousin married her husband so Eastenders like but know were near as good.OK then lets get to the bit were the bagger takes her away. and hurts her not really but he doesn't help either, he uses her to help him beg. of course i couldn't watch it but my mum told me about it and recored it for me.

This telenovela reminds me of my childhood - I was 8-9 years old when it was on TV in my country and me and my parents were absolutely obsessed by it. I think it was one of the reasons why I decided to learn Spanish at a later point in my life. Thalia's performance is outstanding, and overall this is a very sad telenovela, straight from the 1st episode. I stumbled across it now, I don't know how many years later, and it has again caught my attention. It is very impressive how a lot of the character names reflect their stories, in ex. "Rosalinda" - "Beautiful Rose", "Soledad" - "Solitude", "Dolores" - "Pains / Sufferings". It is one of the very few soap operas that remain unforgettable up to this day, even though it has all classic twists and turns - but also a lot of unexpected ones.

Its not just the extremely well acted scenes, or the amazing plot, but the EXTRAPOLATED beauty of Thalia. She does all in this drama/musical soap opera: sing, dance and act, all summed in a marvelous performance. The rest of the cast is very good, but is just the beautiful and gift talented Thalia, who covers the small screen. 8 years had passed since I saw this soap opera,and I remember it every day of my life. I'm just waiting to see Thalia again, in the small or even in the big screen; I hope so. Summing all, if some day the Academy Awards gives an Oscar for the best soap opera of the past century, I'm pretty sure Rosalinda will take home the golden man. If you don't believe me, see it for yourself.
