Rubi

Of all the telenovelas I've watched rubi is my favorite!!

So much fun to hate her. All of the cast is impeccable. Seriously no weak performances or characters.

It has an Incredible storyline with so many twists. It never disappointed. I tried to keep it to one, maybe two a day, but it is so hard sometimes not to just keep rolling into the next episode to see what's next. Excellent cliffhanging!!!

I was on the edge of my seat every episode. Don't know what I will do for kicks now that I've finished it.

I have watched Rubi, Maria del la Barrio, La Casa de Al Lado, En Otre Piel, La Reina del Sur, and a few others.

I know there are so many others that I crave to watch but that offer no English subtitles and that is such a shame.

If you're only going to try one to get your feet wet, this is it. I promise you will be entertained and addicted!!!

I love rubi.but l think the ending was supposed to be better.she was supposed to be alone and rich.

i must say that its great telenovela here in q8 we all watch it , i like hector because he is Argentinian and he is very hansom , the story is very complicated and this make people eager 2 watch the next episode .the heroes are very good actors .the setting was very nice especially in cancun when i see this serial i really want to visit Mexico to see the beautiful places there . what makes me mad about this telenovela is the way it talks about love we see that rubi is an evil but when it comes to love she is completely another person she sacrifice everything for his sake she even compromise all her dreams for the only man in her life . i think hector is avery poor and sad guy because at the end he will lose it all.

I must say that Rubi is one of my favorites soaps! Everything was great, I've no words to describe it, it's just amazing!!! I congratulate all the actors and actresses who participate in this soap and made it so wonderful, especially Barbara Mori who made a wonderful performance. It's obvious that Rubi is different from all the other soaps, because the main heroine Rubi is a bad woman, also, the ending was completely different and surprising (I was chocked). But in spite of that, I think that Rubi is the best soap till now. In my opinion, Rubi has all the ingredients of a Hollywood script (greed, hypocrisy, selfishness, desire...) I wish that they would be another Rubi 2!!!

Ok but among all the Rubí remakes? The 2004 Bárbara Mori version + the 2010 Filipino adaptation easily top the list.

Mori's Rubí? ICONIC. Way more intense and layered than Angelica Panganiban's sassy, maldita take (which was fun, don't get me wrong). But Mori's performance?? You feel it. She's manipulative, beautiful, dangerous, and somehow realistically evil. Like, you lowkey get her.

Let's be real, no one's 100% kind or good all the time. We've all had a lil Rubí moment. Maybe not as dramatic or as evil as she is, but still. That's what makes this version hit so hard. It's messy, fun, terrifying, and sometimes even funny.

Unlike Panganiban's take, which added some soul, very on-brand for a typical Pinoy plot twist where the villain is "redeemed", Mori's Rubí stays true to the character. Because let's be honest, evil people rarely change.

Also, shoutout to this series for flipping the script. It gave us a lead character who wasn't a sweet little angel. She was morally gray, and the star. A total game-changer for telenovelas.

For me? 2004 Rubí will always be the version. The blueprint.

PS. The English dubbed version is now on YouTube so RUN.
