The Scent of Passion

Although I feel they could have chosen a better actress for the role of his mother, I absolutely LOVED the novela and the storyline. It has me wanting to binge watch and now I can't find Season 2. Where is Season 2? SMH.

For those asking, there will not be a season 2. This is a "telenovela" as such, its anywhere from 100 or so to almost 170 episodes, and thats it. This is not a series with multiple seasons, the story is told in one season and thats' it.

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.

Okay, If you are getting into the telenovela world. Welcome! Telenovelas are pretty popular in Latin America, and this remake makes absolute justice to the original 1990s series. Telenovelas are generally a one-shot, so you probably wont see a second season, so enjoy while it lasts.

May we speak about their chemistry and handsome and heart-stopping smile? My God, boy is he pretty. Their scenes together are just out of this world. Whenever there is a love story, you will find me there, and it got every single flavour to make it amazing.

At some points, I felt it was a bit too long, but the last episodes, it was worth the wait.

Long live Telenovelas!

P. S: if you are not a fan of long-running shows, this might not be your treat, but give it a chance.

I was happy to watch william levy's big return but i don't understand half the phrase he speaks.
