Il racconto perfetto

This show is so adorable! I'm a huge fan of rom coms and beach reads and this is perfect in that genre.

The casting is really well done. They have great chemistry and play their respective parts really well but are also better together. The direction is also great.

If you want good scenery- this is for you! The scene set ups are gorgeous.

It's bit of a slow burn. It's only 5 episodes but goes fast. But you really feel it. So I get the oxymoron of slow burn fast show ha. But you'll get it.

There are some things I'm not 100% on but that's to be expected. I'm not sure if it's being an American audience or just in general. I did spend a summer in Madrid forever ago so there is some nostalgia but very little shown, more so just the feeling. Some of the hairstyles and clothes are definitely more European.

It's adorable. The dubbing isn't great. But it's not distracting when you get into it.

A few complaints- the alternate endings don't translate as well with dubbing, but even if the did it should have been another episode. Like oh penultimate "what could have happened" and last "what does".

I get sad when something I love ends that's so clearly wrapped up as a miniseries. I really just wanted more. They rushed a lot near the end.

I'd say we got to see why his relationship wasn't great but didn't know her reasoning til the end. Had I known more upfront it would have kept me from conjectures that made me not pay attention. The beginning makes me root for them.

But again, so great. Definitely worth like 4 hours of your time!

If you're in search of a TV series that offers picturesque landscapes and stunning photography, look no further. This Spanish show boasts captivating locations that transport viewers to charming vistas, making it a saving grace in an otherwise lackluster viewing experience. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end.

The series falls flat due to its laughably ridiculous and overly sentimental storyline. From the very beginning, it becomes painfully apparent that originality and creativity were not priorities during its development. The plot unfolds predictably, leaving little room for surprises or engaging twists that could have redeemed the show.

One of the most disappointing aspects is the lead actor's performance and the characterization of the protagonist. The acting feels forced and unnatural, failing to establish any connection between the viewer and the character. This lack of authenticity leads to a cringe-worthy experience, leaving you questioning the casting choices and character development.

In the end, despite the show's potential to provide an entertaining escape through its stunning visuals, it ultimately fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The glaring issues with the storyline, acting, and character development overshadow the picturesque settings, rendering them almost insignificant. Regrettably, this series becomes a prime example of wasted potential and a missed opportunity to create a well-rounded and enjoyable viewing experience. Save yourself the embarrassment of recommending it to others and opt for a more worthwhile show instead.

Typical love story that involves a contract via a handshake and a promise to help each other get back together with their significant others. Starting off as strangers first, then friends who don't lie to each other, then lovers when they cross the line and they create a mess for both of their lives. Also typical love story between the rich girl and the poor guy (but he doesn't know she is rich until after he falls in love). The poor leading man is very lovable and positive despite all of his shortcomings that you can't help but love his character and he did a great job acting his role. Not sure about the ending- thought it could have been better.

This is definitely the best TV series I have ever seen, it's just my favourite one among all of the rom com I have seen in my life so far.

It's the only one I keep on watching and watching and I don't get tired of. The places where it's filmed are fantastic, the plot is brilliant and I love how Margot dresses, all the outfit, jewellery and accessories are wonderful and everything is cared of in detail.

The actors performed really well and I can't get enough of watching them: Margot, David and Margot's sisters are my favourite ones.

Thank you so much for filming this! I hope there will be a second season one day!

Anna Castillo is wonderful as Margot and Álvaro Mel is equally wonderful as David. These two have amazing chemistry in this slow burn romance that starts out as a mutually beneficial relationship that turns into genuine friendship and then love.

As a romantic I enjoyed every minute of these two falling in love and I also enjoyed the celebration (even though it was joked about) of a heteronormative relationship. It was sweet and natural and young and fresh and I think romantics like me will love it.

The cast was appropriately small, which gave the story an intimate feel, particularly on the vacation in Greece. David is a carefree character who lives on his best friend's couch, has three part-time jobs and just got dumped by the lovely but shallow Idoia. Margot is a repressed heiress who is being patronized in the boardroom and literally runs away from her wedding and controlling mother after a panic attack. These two meet by chance in a bar, when Margot's sisters take her out dancing. David, as the bar tender, kindly fills her shot glass with water...when her sister's ignore her "no" and insist they all do shots together. When Margot picks up her drunk sister's phone at the bar the next day...she witnesses Idoia's strange pull on David and steps in to help as a good deed. This begins a beautiful friendship. The two agree to help each other get their significant others back, which includes Margot helping David become an adult and David helping Margot loosen up.

These two really light up the screen with their chemistry and the gorgeous Greek backdrop sets the mood for their developing feelings. The sets and wardrobe were well done and it was fun to see a neighborhood festival in Spain. In the end I liked that the message wasn't about beauty or money...although I think both David and Margot are beautiful.

My one and only note is that the ending was the oddest ending I have ever seen for a romantic comedy and it left some confusion for certain watchers as to what actually happen at the end. I think romantics will love this limited run series based on the books by Elisabet Benavent (which I wish they would translate into English!), I strongly recommend.

This review is based on watching the series in it's original Spanish language with English subtitles.
