Un cuento perfecto

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?

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.

This show is so adorable! I'm a huge fan of rom coms and beach reads and this is perfect in that genre.

The casting is really well done. They have great chemistry and play their respective parts really well but are also better together. The direction is also great.

If you want good scenery- this is for you! The scene set ups are gorgeous.

It's bit of a slow burn. It's only 5 episodes but goes fast. But you really feel it. So I get the oxymoron of slow burn fast show ha. But you'll get it.

There are some things I'm not 100% on but that's to be expected. I'm not sure if it's being an American audience or just in general. I did spend a summer in Madrid forever ago so there is some nostalgia but very little shown, more so just the feeling. Some of the hairstyles and clothes are definitely more European.

It's adorable. The dubbing isn't great. But it's not distracting when you get into it.

A few complaints- the alternate endings don't translate as well with dubbing, but even if the did it should have been another episode. Like oh penultimate "what could have happened" and last "what does".

I get sad when something I love ends that's so clearly wrapped up as a miniseries. I really just wanted more. They rushed a lot near the end.

I'd say we got to see why his relationship wasn't great but didn't know her reasoning til the end. Had I known more upfront it would have kept me from conjectures that made me not pay attention. The beginning makes me root for them.

But again, so great. Definitely worth like 4 hours of your time!

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.
