Café con aroma de mujer

I'm in episode 24, so far so good, the novel has different collateral stories but are also connected each other so you never get bored and the story flows naturally. The acting is really good and the casting is excellent. I can't remember any story that dig so deep in my heart, I want to get inside the TV to give a big hug to Gaviota and her mum, Gaviota signing is also very nice, her voice is very soft and warm. I really understand Sebastian, I'm deeply in love with Gaviota too, and everything is so unfair so far with them that I wish I could fast forward the novel to get the end as soon as possible, but in the other hand I don't want this novel ends up, it is really great. Congratulations Colombia and thank you for this great story.

I loved the beginning of this telenovela, the mood of the cafetales was great and I was really happy with Levy's return. After finishing it, however, I think that something was going in behind the set between the 2 main protagonists, I think they were not getting along, as there were alot of episodes in this novela, where they don't have any interactions, this is not normal for a telenovela. The main love story is almost forgotten. The mother of Sebastian and Ivan is the most dumb annoying racist and homophobic character I've ever seen. The love scenes lacked passion and were cut very short in my opinion and with comparison with other telenovelas of William Levy Tempestad and Sortilegio, big dissapointment there. The main theme song sang by Gaviota is very repetitive, as well as for the few other songs. I felt the pace was bad, the ending felt very rushed, however, in the middle of the novela, barely anything happened for entire episodes at the time.

I see this new version as a romantic story not only of Gaviota and Sebastián, but all the couples that are involved. I am impress with Levy's interpretation. Main actress is not the best, but I think so she is changing through the story becoming a strong character. Supporting actors, and actress are between the best in Colombia. Location is astonishing! Music has my 12 years old son singing in spanish!

It gets really boring after around 15 episodes, won't be able to stand until the end. The protagonist acts horribly and this is a plain cliche, extra cheesy.

This novela is so good. Has you hooked from the very start to end. All the characters did a great job, they really made me feel manyyy type of emotions. I love how this novela incorporated some "controversial" topics and helped educate/ give a good story to the audience. Definitely gonna rewatch it.
