Paty Díaz and Gabriela Spanic in L'usurpatrice (1998)

User reviews

L'usurpatrice

14 reviews
9/10

Recommended!

Only three things that I'm quite astonished after watch these TV series: 1. ) Gabriel Spanic has been played as twins on one screen. These is really a big opportunities for herself when she can do perfectly stage act on two roles with totally two different characters. On my opinion, she's really excalating her capabilities as an actress when she was played as Paula (the bad one) and Paulina (the good one). I think she's a crazy brilliant spanish actress so far. 2.) Great spectacular theme soundtrack on 90's pop-rock orchestra. Easy Listening but big powerful song. 3.) Good script and story plot. If you watch the series, you will know that everyday Paulina has got too much problems and obstacles on Bracho's family because of her older twin sister's crazy lifestyle. Super complicated intrique, not just a common average telenovela. High standard, 4.5 Stars.

It's GREAT!

Well, what can I say? I started watching the series since it was first aired here. Okay, I exaggerated there. I missed the first few episodes. But, since I started watching the series, I never missed a single episode. I even skipped my lectures on tuesday and wednesday just to watch it! Overall, I think they are good actors and actresses- apart from being very good looking. ( That are the two vital things Malaysian actors/actresses lacked!. They say, good actors will affect the way you feel while watching them act. I felt sorry for Paulina; i think Carlos Daniel can be so stupid most of the time(though he's nice), I think Gema is a real B*tch, I hate Willy and etc. well, I guess they are good actors, generally. The story line is great and I can't wait to watch the next episode! Just hope that I will have a nice ending> and realistic. I'm learning spanish now, by the way. Anyone who thinks this series is boring, stupid etc...well watch it first.

Gabriella Spanic is Soooooooo pretty!

This novela/soap opera "rocks"! It has everything, drama, comedy, passion, women empowerment, and old-fashioned love/romance.

I like it

When I first tuned in, I thought is was very bad. But then, it started getting exciting, and I wanted to know what will happen next. Many people I know also liked this soap opera. Sure, some characters are extremely naive, but it's not so bad. I would also recommend Muneca Brava, Pobre Diabla, Nunca te Olvidare, Siempre tu Susperes, and Maria la del Barrio. The story wasn't that bad either. I liked every character for something. I liked Paulina because she was honest, Paola because she was always so free and always planning, and so on. People think that soap operas are the worst, but they aren't always that bad.

excellence!!!!!!!!

To tell the truth, i didn't watch the show from the beginning. But since i have watched the show, i tried never to miss any of the show. I even skip my extra curriculum at school just to watch the show.The show was splendid.Just because of the show, i am now learning Spanish.All the cast did a good act.They have the nice ending too but it is just so predictable. Gabriela Spanic is a beautiful person.She act best as Poala. I have to give credit to her.I just wish Singapore would aired the show .Well i watch the show from Singapore but the channel is from Malaysian.

Terribly Good

This is the coolest Mexican soap opera. A moron wrote that it was bad one and I got really angry with that... The soap opera is beautiful and fun... When I watched I loved it because there's a real good actuation. Gabriela Spanic couldn't be more perfect for the role. Ines Rodena is one of my favorites soap opera writers, she also wrote the hits Maria Mercedez, Marimar, Maria La Del Barrio.

It was better than most of the ones I've seen...

I really think that the actors did a great job with this novella, as it's called. I saw it and was impressed by Gabriela Spanic's performance as well as Fernando Colunga's. The plot was similar but it was nice to see how different actors act out their parts. For John to say it wasn't good he probably wasn't into the whole romance aspect which made the novella what it was. It's what men call "chick-flicks". Either that or he's got a thing against Fernando Colunga. :)

It's great :)

Okay, so I haven't seen many Mexican soaps, since I live is Malaysia and I don't speak Spanish. But when a local TV station aired Maria Mercedes, I thought it totally sucked. Maybe because of the dubbing, or because it was old. But when La Usurpadora replaced it, I was hooked. The acting isn't that bad, compared to the acting I see in most soaps i.e. Bold and the Beautiful, but I will not say anything about the script as I rely on subtitles to understand what they're saying. I think Gabriela Spanic is a good actress, as the rest of the cast (except the one who plays Lalita and the kid who plays Carlitos). Here so far almost 50 episodes have been aired and I can't wait to see the rest. Hopefully, it will have a good ending and not disappoint its Malaysian viewers.

Is is the worse telenovela!!

I think every program in the T.V. might be better. The scripiter is the worse, the camera and the waves and all. Gabriela Spanic is a nice woman, but her program is worse. She is so good (is it? be good is be idiot?) and so boring.
