Itatí Cantoral's antagonistic character Soraya Montenegro was made an Internet meme. Shots of her crying are subtitled "Cries in Spanish", or "Dies in Spanish" with the character passed out, etc.
Although playing mortal enemies on the show, Itatí Cantoral (Soraya) and Thalía (María la del Barrio) are very good friends in real life. Thalía is the godmother of Itatí's twin children.
Became a hit in Brazil, being on reruns in a total of seven times by SBT as of 2015.
The beginning of a new chapter in the show is marked by a change in the hair and dress style of María.
Started showing on Netflix in May 2015
