24 episodes of this drivel, I have no idea how you can watch 24 episodes and still not really fully understand what happened and more importantly why!
The description and the start appeared promising, however it started going down hill pretty soon.
Terrible acting, the worst being Yeni and then her son when he is a young adult. Far too many characters which makes it confusing.
Not sure why but Yeni doesn't have much of a liability factor - perhaps its because she took someone else's husband and came up smelling of roses as a result.
The ending just seemed absolutely ludicrous.
Just awful!

Absolutely terrible acting and even worse dubbing into English. They really should have consulted a medical professional upon writing the story as the story starts off saying 1 embrio split into twins and became a boy and girl baby. Most people know this is impossible. It's not possible for twins from same embrio to be anything but identical twins (same sex) this plot annoyed the hell out of me. And many other simple mistakes that a quick Google search could clarify. Also they go to a doctor office and complain they were not seen within 2 seconds of arrival. I feel the writers of this show were a bunch of children.
Prepare to be captivated by a gripping tale that delves deep into the shadowy underbelly of surrogacy, unearthing a web of astonishing secrets, twisted lies, and jaw-dropping revelations that challenge the very fabric of society. This riveting series explores the harrowing world of "colorism" and racism, shining a harsh light on the plight of indigenous people. With its thought-provoking narrative and masterful writing, it skillfully leaves viewers questioning their own beliefs and perceptions. Brace yourself for an unforgettable journey into a realm where nothing is as it seems, and prepare to have your mind blown by a story that demands to be seen.
I kept watching episode after episode in the hope that the next one would be better. But it definitely didn't. So I gave up after episode 5. The storyline and storytelling is incredibly weak and all the episodes I watched felt dragging. It could have been great if the storytelling and the storyline was clear and the acting was good. It felt like there were too many characters that had a big part in this. I usually finish movies and series that I watch, even if they are not that good, to give it a chance. But this one had 24 episodes! Way too many if you ask me. For the people that want to finish the series, I hope it gets better! But something tells me, it won't.
For a series that felt on one level like a cautionary tale about surrogacy, you would think the writers would at least have done some basic research( middle school biology). There was one continuous comment about the embryo splitting to twins which could only result in identical twins..but the twins are obviously not identical( a boy and a girl). The characters discussing this would have had basic knowledge of this. I ended up fast forwarding through most of the episodes but gave up after I realized after getting to 10 that I wasn't even halfway through. The series needs some serious editing to make it into a tolerable cheesy soap opera. On the positive, unlike other reviewers, I did like the lead actress. There was some other side plots/discussions about indigenous culture and racism that could have been interesting but given my wariness of the writers credibility on other topics, I couldn't trust them on this either. In summary, lots of missed opportunities.

- GoofsNora mentions a few times throughout the series that the company belonged to her parents, which doesn't make sense as Huizar is her married name. If it belonged to her parents, it would have their name.
