Paixões Ardentes

If you like the comment that Venus said about this show. You can watch it again. You can watch Pasion DE Gavilanes at 1:00 pm pacific standard time in Telemundo. This show is great and you should watch it even is you don't speak Spanish fluently. I love this story very much. And I hope you all will like it because it has touched my heart and I know it is going to touch yours. This story is about three brothers who lost their beloved sister when was treat badly my her lover's family. They become angry and seek revenge. However, they did not find it but they found love. This soap opera is a remake of a 1994 soap opera called Las Aguas mansas. I have not watched that soap but hopefully it is as good as this soap.

Pasion DE Gavilanes or Pasion DE Amor as shown here in the Philippines is a very distinct and one of a kind telenovela. Though the Philippines have been exposed to all kinds of Spanish/Mexican telenovelas, this one touched my heart. Why? Well because of the following reasons: 1. The story does not revolve in one character only. Each of the love story as well as the history of the telenovela takes turn in the camera allowing viewers to see the picture as a whole and not just the love scene.

2. Each character have strong and distinct personalities that you would not get tired of watching. Many viewers could identify themselves in the characters of the telenovela.

3. The story is unique and not boring. Every episode has its unique twists and turns.

4. The chemistry among the characters are sizzling hot!! **Unfortunately, the show is shown every afternoon and I am not able to catch it everyday. I just hope that I could find a DVD copy of this with English subtitle...

I think that Pasion de Gavillanes is like the only telenovela that I actually enjoyed watching, My Spanish teacher showed us the first episode in class because she wanted us to actually learn some "street Spanish", and everyday after that we would beg her to show us the rest. It was just so interesting. I think the relationship between Norma and Juan is really strong. Like I absolutely love them together.

It's so interesting to watch because the show doesn't just focus on one single point. Instead it sort of puts everything together. Like it has everyones problems instead of just one problem that is surrounded by mini episodes.

Only talking about the original 2003 telenovela. The sequel can (and should) be skipped and it's totally fine. The story is introduced and told clearly with 4 distinctive arcs that make the plot easy to follow. The characters are well defined and the latter half of the story is amazingly well told and displayed. The villains are so hateable that you end up rooting for the protagonists even when they're not that likeable, but that's also good - no need for the clichéd superhero telenovela male protagonist (even though Juan Reyes sort of is that, but he does have a personality and his character has motivations). The setting is a bit generic (which is why many people wrongly believe this telenovela to be Mexican), and it may have needed a bit more fun - but overall it's great and a true testament to its own success. Season 2 deserves a separate not too friendly review.

This soap opera is currently showing in Malaysia and we are all clearly enjoying it! The background setup is beautiful and so are the characters... It has its heated and humorous moments. I consider this telenovela to be one of the best ones I've seen. It definitely grabbed the prize for best pictures to me, not to mention best kisses.. Even the part before the commercials are attention grabbers.. If only hey sold the CD here i'd buy it!!!

The story line pretty much revolves around three drop-dead gorgeous brothers and their relationships in a close-knit community.. Lots of horses and horsing around.. I think they fall for the three stunning sisters (a coincidence too obvious to ignore..).. Kinda tacky but i seriously hope they get together. Watch their developments throughout the whole show...^_^

If you're looking for something steamy and a tickler, this is the soap opera for you! (If you want tear-jerking scenes, you're better suited to Korean series.. I've wasted too many tears on those just to see the leading stars die in one way or another...)
