Kassandra

I think the best way to commemorate 30 years of this master piece would be to have a remake with some of the original actors plating different roles, of course.

If you have never watched this, you are missing out on some of the best dramas ever. This has nothing to envy other Hollywood shows. The production and direction are very good considering the year of its release.

I did some research and it seems this was filmed in a small town names Mucuchies (yes, the Mucuchie dogs come from there). This Venezuelan town is a short 40 minute drive to Merida, which is more like a city. This town (Mucuchies has an average weather of 10 C* degrees. So it was usually very cold when they filmed this and yet you dont see them wearing huge jackets or anything. I find that vert interesting.

The show is very unique and the background music they use is surreal. There is not one single thing I would change about the show. You will find in love with Coraima Torres (Andreina / Kassandra), I mean who wouldn't. 30 years later and she is still a queen, as beautiful as always.

One thing to keep in mind is that the audio quality is not the greatest, at least not on Youtube these days. So you will have to really turn up the volume to listen. If you don't speak spanish 100% you will have a hard time understanding what they say sometimes. Specially with the Romanies, they use unusual words.

I made the numbers, you will need about 115 hours to watch this show fully. The plot is so powerful it will take you away for the entire time you are watching. Keeping you focused on the show only. If you are going through a tough time and need to take your mind off of it, this Telenovela will help.

I also found on google Kassandra has been broadcasted in over 140 countries and in more than 60 languages / dialects which makes it a Guinness Record holder. I have no doubts this is the best Telenovela ever made. I mean this if you want a real authentic telenovela. Those new versions to attract younger crowds with a lot of comedy are great too (like Betty La Fea, Pedro el Escamoso, Mi gorda bella) but I would not put them in the same category as Kassandra. it is like comparing apples to oranges. I am sure without a doubt Betty La Fea deserves the number one spot for "funny telenovelas", it was also very innovative.

I would give this show 20 stars if I could. I hope to travel to that small town one day and learn more about the history of it.

I have no words to describe this novela. I enjoyed every episode of it and its one of the best novelas ever made. Over 120 countries have seen it and most people just loved it. I wish that they would bring it back so people can see it again, and people who like novelas and havent seen Kassandra would absolutely love it. I guarantee it.

Armenia saw this movie about 15 years ago. Every weekday, at exactly the same time, people no longer lived their lives - they lived in "Kassandra." It was an hour of escape, preceded by long discussions and followed by interesting predictions.

Nearly everyone who had a TV, or who had a neighbor with a TV, gathered their families and friends around to watch "Kassandra." It is true that new ones came over the years and now it'd be very hard to find this series in Armenia. However, "Kassandra" is very much alive in our cultural memory. Similar to the way Judas has come to represent a "traitor," many of the names have been immortalized and continue to be used after nearly 20 years of its broadcast.

I gave it 10 stars because in its days, it has given me entertainment unparalleled to this day.

I watched the series being still a child , many many years ago. Ever since watched many new and sometimes much more interesting and realistic TV series. But "Kassandra" is unforgettable, I am coming back to it every time I am in romantic mood, or want to relax and dream a bit.

The circus world and Kassandra itself are really bright and beautiful. Love Osvaldo Rios everywhere , but here he is the best. It is a beautiful fairy tail about love.

10 stars may seem not fair, but for that time, for the memories, and just for after more than 20 years being still in peoples memories , I can't give less.

the first time i saw it many years ago, i loved it. i would really love to see it again. because of this soap i named my oldest daughter Kassandra. it is out of the ordinary unlike any of the soaps now a day. i have the first two episodes on video cassette, but i would really love to get all of it on DVD, if it is made on DVD, but i have not been able to find it. please let me know. Kassandra was a great soap opera the characters from the circus were funny and interesting. also how the same actress did the character of the mother as well as the daughter was a brilliant idea from the writer. all of it was very well calculated and it all made sense at the end. the love story was great between the gypsy and the young man of the house. thanks
