Un cuento perfecto

So this is a "friends pretend to be lovers to get other people" tv show. Usually right up my alley. Alvaro Mel is David - a complete slacker who is wrapped around the finger of his girlfriend - Idoia. Ann Castillo is Margot who is a rich heiress from a hotel business who runs off from her wedding to a perfectly great guy. It was not explained well why.

David and Margot come into contact with each other and decide to use the other to get their other back / make them jealous.

The show was well made enough to keep me interested and the entire Greece vacation was just beautiful if not a little long for my tastes. It just went on too long and once that happens it starts to seem very morally corrupt to the other parties the leads are insistent they are going to get back. The final episode was confusing and it seemed like someone trying super hard not to have the "standard" ending... you know... the one everyone wants to see.

But overall I would recommend it.

Ok hear me out, I'm totally with women and how they should choose to what to do with their lives and what to do with their bodies and whatnot, BUT these movies are sending the wrong messages to the women nowadays.

This isn't the first tv show/movie that is glorifying women cheating and finding a better guy to find "happiness" and not even caring about their spouse/boyfriend or even her family or kids.

On the other hand, I haven't seen a single movie that glorifies a man cheating on his spouse/girlfriend. It's because they always trying to demonize men who cheat. SO BUT WHY IS IT PORTRAYED ROMANTIC AND BEAUTIFUL FOR A WOMAN TO CHEAT ON HER SPOUSE/BOYFRIEND AND NOT AN EVIL ACT?

Typical love story that involves a contract via a handshake and a promise to help each other get back together with their significant others. Starting off as strangers first, then friends who don't lie to each other, then lovers when they cross the line and they create a mess for both of their lives. Also typical love story between the rich girl and the poor guy (but he doesn't know she is rich until after he falls in love). The poor leading man is very lovable and positive despite all of his shortcomings that you can't help but love his character and he did a great job acting his role. Not sure about the ending- thought it could have been better.

This was a very interesting love story that had you hooked up from the very beginning. The chemistry is really overflowing between the two leads.

Pros: Very good acting, great chemistry, interesting plot. It delves into the state of missing that one person in your life that could challenge you into finally becoming yourself

Cons: 1) I didn't understand why the leads decided to complicate things for absolutely no reason. 2) The intimate scenes were too intimate and unnecessary.

All in all it's worth to watch and to me the ending is quite clearly a happy ending, despite what some other commenters pointed out.

This series is a reminder of how small things can make a big difference. If someone tells me to watch a movie about how a poor boy and a rich girl fall in love, I'd rather find an excuse. The film is first and foremost incredibly good because the characters immediately creep into your heart, even the most negative ones. The film was also brave in that it repeatedly showed how much sooner the romance could have been born or how easily it could have been broken off forever by an insignificant little decision, comment or lack thereof.

We knew from the first moment that the film was going to have a happy ending, so we were able to enjoy the journey all the way through, how the two young people struggle, first and foremost with themselves, to get there.
