Well, first things first: this series is quite long. And even after watching it in one sitting, you might not be able to finish it. Now, let's get to the plot. About thirty years ago, a nurse at a San Francisco hospital mistakenly swapped babies. This changed the lives of Andrés Ferreira, who grew up surrounded by luxury, and Brayan Galindo Romero, who was raised in humble surroundings.
Of course, dear readers, you've already understood that if the baby swap hadn't happened, they would have had a better life. And now there has to be a revelation of the truth, because the characters need to know who is truly deserving by destiny. Andrés, the rich man, ends up losing everything he had. That means Andrés's loss is Brayan's gain. This is what the rest of the plot follows: how their lives change and whether they will ever return to their old lives. Will they ever adjust? Who is the true owner of the accumulated wealth?
Stars: Juan Manuel Guilera, Laura Barjum, Lina Tejeiro
One of the positive aspects of this series is that it balances emotions well. There's a touch of seriousness and many humorous moments that keep you engaged. However, the length of the series and the episodes in general is a bit excessive. It could have been shorter, as the plot didn't need it.
As for the acting, the actors are good. Variel Sánchez, who plays Bryan, plays the character well, defining a man who suddenly receives a fortune that was initially supposed to be his. On the other hand, Juan Manuel Guilera as Andrés Ferreira also does a commendable job. His character's rivalry with Bryan's (Variel Sánchez) contributes to some funny moments. The actors have great comic timing, so the series never feels boring.
Not only the main cast, but also the supporting cast do a good job. Lina Tejeiro as Rosmery Peláez and Laura Barjum as Fernanda Sanmiguel bring romance, tension, and fidelity to the plot. They make it intriguing and fun. Fernanda's manipulation in certain episodes adds the necessary intrigue to keep us completely hooked. The development of his character is worth witnessing. Furthermore, Ricardo Mejía, as Mateo López Ferreira, the antagonist, continues the plot twist we eagerly await through his planning and plotting.
Although this is a remake of the Colombian classic of the same name, the creators and writers of this series deserve praise. They maintained the premise but added a few touches that make it feel fresh and original.
So, if you're looking for a light, long-term investment in a series, this is your best option. Directed by the talented Rodrigo Triana and Juan Carlos Vásquez, this series, while it requires patience, is worth a try if you have it.
