Anna Castillo is wonderful as Margot and Álvaro Mel is equally wonderful as David. These two have amazing chemistry in this slow burn romance that starts out as a mutually beneficial relationship that turns into genuine friendship and then love.

As a romantic I enjoyed every minute of these two falling in love and I also enjoyed the celebration (even though it was joked about) of a heteronormative relationship. It was sweet and natural and young and fresh and I think romantics like me will love it.

The cast was appropriately small, which gave the story an intimate feel, particularly on the vacation in Greece. David is a carefree character who lives on his best friend's couch, has three part-time jobs and just got dumped by the lovely but shallow Idoia. Margot is a repressed heiress who is being patronized in the boardroom and literally runs away from her wedding and controlling mother after a panic attack. These two meet by chance in a bar, when Margot's sisters take her out dancing. David, as the bar tender, kindly fills her shot glass with water...when her sister's ignore her "no" and insist they all do shots together. When Margot picks up her drunk sister's phone at the bar the next day...she witnesses Idoia's strange pull on David and steps in to help as a good deed. This begins a beautiful friendship. The two agree to help each other get their significant others back, which includes Margot helping David become an adult and David helping Margot loosen up.

These two really light up the screen with their chemistry and the gorgeous Greek backdrop sets the mood for their developing feelings. The sets and wardrobe were well done and it was fun to see a neighborhood festival in Spain. In the end I liked that the message wasn't about beauty or money...although I think both David and Margot are beautiful.

My one and only note is that the ending was the oddest ending I have ever seen for a romantic comedy and it left some confusion for certain watchers as to what actually happen at the end. I think romantics will love this limited run series based on the books by Elisabet Benavent (which I wish they would translate into English!), I strongly recommend.

This review is based on watching the series in it's original Spanish language with English subtitles.

This emotional, funny, intriguing and passionate mini series is exactly what I needed this summer. Cast is amazing, chemistry between Margot & David inspiring and contagious.

Double ending made good point how life is all about little things, and those create our destiny. There is quite few hot scenes that added some edge to the story, but those were made with a good taste, not too much, not too little. For me personally actors succeeded to transfer energy and fire through the screen. I wish there was season 2 but also everything what needed to be told is told. I recommend to everyone who is into beautiful summer romance story.

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.

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!

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 is definitely the best TV series I have ever seen, it's just my favourite one among all of the rom com I have seen in my life so far.

It's the only one I keep on watching and watching and I don't get tired of. The places where it's filmed are fantastic, the plot is brilliant and I love how Margot dresses, all the outfit, jewellery and accessories are wonderful and everything is cared of in detail.

The actors performed really well and I can't get enough of watching them: Margot, David and Margot's sisters are my favourite ones.

Thank you so much for filming this! I hope there will be a second season one day!

David and Margot - two annoying and unfaithful people who delude themselves into thinking they are not disloyal and unfaithful to their so-called loves. Off they go to Spain kissing and hugging and turning each other on, dancing (very badly by the way). Cavorting in the waves naked, without actually doing the dirty but hey, that's unfaithful in my books, who are they kidding? She's rich, he's not, I skipped over most of the episodes so don't know how or when he found out, but he feels he has to prove himself, so opens a flower shop as that is where he seems to have acquired some skills. Is there an alternative ending and we see both? Not sure and who cares.

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?

If you're in search of a TV series that offers picturesque landscapes and stunning photography, look no further. This Spanish show boasts captivating locations that transport viewers to charming vistas, making it a saving grace in an otherwise lackluster viewing experience. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end.

The series falls flat due to its laughably ridiculous and overly sentimental storyline. From the very beginning, it becomes painfully apparent that originality and creativity were not priorities during its development. The plot unfolds predictably, leaving little room for surprises or engaging twists that could have redeemed the show.

One of the most disappointing aspects is the lead actor's performance and the characterization of the protagonist. The acting feels forced and unnatural, failing to establish any connection between the viewer and the character. This lack of authenticity leads to a cringe-worthy experience, leaving you questioning the casting choices and character development.

In the end, despite the show's potential to provide an entertaining escape through its stunning visuals, it ultimately fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The glaring issues with the storyline, acting, and character development overshadow the picturesque settings, rendering them almost insignificant. Regrettably, this series becomes a prime example of wasted potential and a missed opportunity to create a well-rounded and enjoyable viewing experience. Save yourself the embarrassment of recommending it to others and opt for a more worthwhile show instead.

If you've ever read this book, this series will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. They rushed too much in telling a story, in developing the characters, they left too much epic dialogue out. David and Margot's relationship develops slowly and with details, that's why at the end the love feels so real, something that didn't happen with this series. In general, they could have done many more chapters with more details. His sisters are also important in the story and go unnoticed.

If you have the chance read the book, it's a story you won't want to put down, I read it in one day because it's very easy to read and entertaining, plus the hot scenes are soooo much 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.
