La Venganza de Analía

This was good. We need a season 2. What was the deal with Pablo's bro? He barely had a role.

I didn't think I would get into this as it requires me to use subtitles but I was drawn in with the first episode which was truly riveting. Following the path of a young Ana Lucia and her mother's journey. Oh my gosh it pulled at my heart strings the little girl was amazing as Anna Lucia and her tears could have filled a lake. A Terrible crime has been committed and you just have to see how it unfolds. As I got invested in this show I checked to see how many episodes I have to enjoy and imagine my surprise when I just kept on scrolling all the way down to 56!! As the episodes go in you are introduced to many likeable characters which further more holds your interest I.e the dashing Pablo.

It reminds me of the American show Revenge but still very different in its own merit and too be honest her mother's killer has a better story and plot. The only thing I can't get my head around is coming back 30 years later to right a wrong what took her so long. I do recommend this. Nice soapy drama.

All other roles were excellent (only Pablo's daughter needs acting lessons). Juliana Galvis who plays Carolina is an amazing actress and should have been cast as Analia. The current Analia (Carolina Gómez) is almost 50 playing a 30 something? Her love scenes with Pablo are gross, like kissing his mother. Not fooling anyone. Even Michelle Manterola could have played a better Analia, The age would fit. Analia should be in the 30s to fit the role. Carolina Gómez should have been cast as Mejia's wife, age wise, would have been more appropriate. Even the actress cast as Mejia's wife is younger than her.

I really love the story, and I think the young girl who portrayed Ana Lucía is exceptionally talented. In the series, she has a very warm personality, emotional, a very positive vibe. But when she grows up, her vibe is suddenly cold and distant? Even though she's been through a lot, the story doesn't make her cold and distant, so I feel like the adult actress just had the wrong vibe for the part. She also looks nothing like the little girl. Absolutely nothing. They have very different facial features, and they don't even look like they could be related. Such a huge difference. There has to be SOME resemblance for this to be credible. This bothered me throughout the whole series. Besides her, casting was on point. The actress should've been a different character. Someone mentioned here that her age was wrong for this character, too, and I agree. If they had cast someone who fit better, this would've been an amazing show. I'm convinced the young actress is going to be very successful though! She's a natural. The kids in the first part were very good. Young and old Mejía (In reality son and father) were cast perfectly as well. Same goes for Toto and Dorita.

Could not stop watching this film even though it is a foreign film. English captions. Everything about this film was premium. Great actors, wardrobe, plot, cinematography, location. Each episode had me hungry for more. Hoping to see remaining four episodes. Hit this one out of the park. Thanking all the cast and crew for such a great film.
