Let me just say how brilliant this Telenovela is! It's totally outstanding, it's so different from all the other soap operas. It's one of the best I've seen and it's on my list of favorite Telenovelas along with many Colombian Telenovelas, this proves that Colombian Telenovelas are the best.

The plot is really good, it's so different. The acting was outstanding, Edith Gonzales proved that she's not a regular actress, this woman is BRILLIANT. I loved the way she acted, superb! Génesis Rodríguez was really good too.

Though I was supposed to hate the character of Barbara but I didn't, I loved her so much and I felt sorry for her. I wanted her to end up with Santos but unfortunately that didn't happen though they had an incredible chemistry and many of passionate scenes together. I couldn't understand how quickly his love switched from Barbara to Marisela but I understood him, I understood that when he was with Barbara he felt more like his father and he didn't like this feeling so Marisela was his salvation from Barbara's love.

Though I really cried my eyes out at the end of this Telenovela but I also admired it coz it had such a realistic ending.

What I also liked was Cecilia and Antonio's love story, it was so sweet and I loved it so much.

This Telenovela is memorable, it's this kind of shows that lives forever. I will never forget it. Barbara is a memorable character, and the scenes of her and Santos were hooooooooot ..no way I could ever forget these scenes. I wish they do another Telenovela together coz they do such a great job when they act together.

I love Christian Meier so freaking much ....though I didn't like his character here, I prefer him as Santos Torrealba "in La Tormenta" than being Santos Luzardo.

Barbara is and will always be la Doña ....Doña Bárbara. And Edith is definitely la Doña de Telenovelas.
