O Que a Vida Me Roubou

I don't really like this show it is the same old drama TV show that would be on MTV except without the "reality" part in it. It uses the same old TV romance tactics the 2 Guys and 1 Girl. Which is so Cliché it could have a lot more potential if it was more original you could find hundreds of shows and movies based on romance about 1 girl and 2 guys wanting her which is for sure to stir up drama. I think the potential of the actors could be so much more if they just had good show script writers that probably thought of a more unique plot. Then the show would be a good drama show. The Actors are good but the plot is not as good and could use some improvements.

Ok I'm new to the Novelas I'll admit. And I watched this in Spanish with English subtitles. But we binge watched the whole 190 episode in a week that's how addictive it was. I thought it was very well written and incredibly well acted. I saw two bad reviews and I don't get that at all. It was nothing like I've ever seen on American TV. I've seen the lead Actress and Actor before and I think they're amazing as was the whole cast. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster. Maybe I need to see a lot more novelas to compare it to but I've seen a lot of movies and TV and I think this was one of the best things I've ever seen. Bravo to everyone involved.

So I finished this novel today and wow it was so intense, like very intense, it's like nothing I have ever seen before, to me, it's among the best Soap Operas out there. The plot was very different from others and the actors were very good in their roles.. What I liked the most about this novel very much is how they explored every character, like every single character had their own arc and the novel didn't fully centered around only the main characters like most soap operas do.. all the characters were super complex, no one was completely good or evil, they were all quite grey which I think make the novel even more engaging

There were no unnecessary characters, every episode, every scene and every character moves the plot forward. The villains were very compelling and the soundtracks too was super awesome.

There were also no boring moment, something is always happening. Unlike others, this novel never decline, it kept the same charm throughout the entire novel. The story and it's characters will keep you very invested. Ok this may seem like exaggeration but trust me it's not, the novel is that good

However my only complaint is that this novel sometimes normalize so much violence and abusive behaviours, other than that the novel was very well written and directed.. this novel had it's problems I won't lie, but I don't think there's any Soap Opera out there that comes anywhere close to this one in terms of intensity or entertainment value.

At first, I realized that the relationship between Montserrat and Alejandro was destructive. I also saw some scenes where Alejandro abused Montserrat out of jealousy. The protagonist suffers from emotional codependency due to pressure from her mother, Graciela, stemming from her financial ambition. The title of the television series is a clear reference to the fact that life robbed her of José Luis, Montserrat's true love, and it's a shame that the ending was left with questions and theories after José Luis's death.

This is one of the few telenovelas that serve some real lessons to the audience, nowadays it's all about drugs, sex, money laundry this and that but with this one, almost every character had something to tell. I wish it was still on Netflix so I can binge watch again. What a novel, the crew and the cast did such amazing job.
