La fea más bella

Yes, this remake is funnier than the original, but hasn't anybody noticed how the producer's decision to change the personality of certain characters actually changes the whole story??? In the original version, Betty is an incredibly smart girl, and gets really nervous around people, obviously because her father kept her from socializing..ever. But over all those nerves, you could see her intelligence, there was no doubt about that. But this version just changed the whole thing. Angelica Vale makes the character sound childish, instead of nervous. That goofy laugh doesn't help. Betty's laugh made her seem geeky, which was the whole point, but Letty's laugh makes her seem stupid. Honestly, seeing Lety act so ignorant makes it impossible to see her as a smart girl. I love Angelica Vale, by the way, and I blame the producers and directors for this one. Same thing with Lety's mom...the original version made it clear that Betty acted like her father and got her features from his side of the family including her laugh, and Julia, her mom was the normal one, which, believe it or not, helped the story a lot, but making Julieta, Lety's mom, the goofy one in this version just doesn't make it. The story is funny, but I just don't buy it. By the way, adding kids to the story-bad idea.

when i first saw this show on the Spanish channel here in the u.s.a. i was immediately sucked into the show. not only is the theme song so good but the casting is excellent. everything in this show is top quality. i don't know why people say it's low quality. i see nothing low quality.. maybe it's there TV hahah. but no really this show is my favorite and i am so interested in everything this show has to offer. i don't want to name the casting because i forget how to spell there names but i got to say the casting and the main character are superb. i love the way the main character lety acts. when she gets nervous she starts twitching. i just thought it was so funny. i also love the pace of this show. everything is so nice and smooth. everybody in the show looks perfect for the roles. i also love the so called "ugly group" they are so funny and they have this awesome design. i just can't explain everything here.. i give this novela a high rating. also i heard this was a remake of several shows with the same theme. i never saw them and if i did now i probably wouldn't like them. since i saw this one first.

I LOVE IT! People have criticized it because it is a remake of the Colombian version. I have been watching soaps all my life and I can assure you that this version is much funnier and better. The colombian soap was to serious and sometimes dry. This one makes you laugh, the characters are very well known and experienced. This novel has gotten better ratings and more fans than the original one!! I hope this one won't be as long as the original one as it dragged for several months and I lost some interest in it.

Jaime Camil is a gorgeous and sexy man! The producer could have not picked a better actor.

I love it and will buy it when it comes out on DVD!!

I like it, but you kind of have to be Mexican to get the humor... I think Jaime Camil and Angelica Vale are great comedic actors, and they make their audience connect with them... Here in Mexico the show is a great success, and the musical album it's a hit too... I saw a bad review about this show, and I thought people should know that this is a light fun series to watch , it's not meant to be taken so seriously, but it's definitely a stress reliever, you get caught in the mini adventures of the characters, you want the handsome guy to fall in love with the ugly girl, the ugly girl to become pretty, the end of this story is predictable, but I think is part of it's charm, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I normally don't watch novella but La Fea mas Bella has me totally hooked. It is funny and sweet and I love all of the characters. Jose Jose is hysterical as Lety's overprotective father. I also love Angelica Maria (who Angelica Vale real mom)as Lety's mom. The Solis family love each other very much and that is a wonderful thing to see on TV nowadays. Even the bad guys on the show have something going for them. You have to laugh at Alecia's antics and wails. Luigi's reaction to the quartel is funny. I also love that while the main character thinks she's ugly she knows she has stuff going for her. She doesn't let herself get run over but the pretty people. What I think is great about this telenovela is that Jamie Camil and Angelica Vale have amazing chemistry and I can't wait to see what happens next.
