Rosalinda

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.

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

Thalía plays the leading role in her last soap opera, "Rosalinda", in 1998. It has been called the "Titanic" of "telenovelas" and the most-awaited soap of the century. "Rosalinda" brought Thalía back to the small screen after a three-year hiatus. It was sold in approximately 60 countries even before it was written, just because Thalía was secured as the leading lady. She acted by the side of leading man, Venezuelan actor, Fernando Carrillo. The storyline also focused an a poor young girl who grew up to become a rich and refined woman, but with a twist! With "Rosalinda", Thalía, the Queen of "telenovelas", secured the title of Mexico's top actress. It is Thalia's last soap opera, since she has been concentrating in her career as a singer, until she find an adequate next project.

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.

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.
